Reborn into the Hunger Games ( Finnick Odair x Male oc)

Chapter 25: Day 2

Chapter 25: Day 2

Rudy POV

I was woken up from my slumber by the national anthem being played all around the arena. Up in the sky I could see all the tributes that had died on the first day of the 66th hunger games. In the sky, I could see the Panem logo that shined brightly in the sky. Every passing moment the sound was played a picture of a dead tribute will appear. 

The images in the sky took a long while to be over with. After the first day or the games 15 children had lost their lives. This game will go down in history as the bloodiest and fastest game ever. I myself killed nine tributes so far and their blood was on my hands for the rest of my life. However, I had no time to mourn the loss of innocent lives, the loss of my own innocence, and the loss of my own sanity. 

I decided to do something stupid. I took a sharp arrow head and cut 9 lines on my left arm that represent the 9 lives that I had taken. I will never forget what I did to survive. I will carry these cuts as a reminder of those lives I took and honor them to my best of my ability.

I wrapped up my cuts with a bandage from my pack. I also ate a piece of jerky to take away my feeling of hunger. I took a little slip of water to quill my thrust. When the sun begins to rise I will set out to find more water. For now though, I decide to go back to sleep for a little while longer. It was barely like 3 in the morning when the music had woken me up. It is better to be well rested than tired on my two feet.

A few hours later on day two, I was awoken from my sleep once more from a cannonfire. I got up really quickie and started to looked around my darky little hiding hole. There was nothing there but the darkness. I am wide awake now. I gathered my stuff and headed out from my base. I took everything with me. My base was no longer safe. I went out to search for a source of water and maybe for something else to eat besides jerky.

During my search, I was always on the lookout for other tributes. Once out of my small base, I quietly climbed up some fallen rumble to continue on walking and exploring my surroundings. However, when I reached the top I saw something I didn’t want to see at all.

I froze all of the sudden at what I was seeing. On the floor in front of me lay a corpse of the district 6 female. Her body was horribly beaten and her crimson red blood soaked into the sand like a bloody river. It was one gruesome sight to behold.

I took a deep breath and pushed the sight out of my mind. I listen to the wind and the shifting of the sand beneath my feet. The killers were long gone and the body looked like it had been there for a while. However, I still started to look around me for her killers, but there was no one close by for me to hear and see. 

I decided to move and continue my search and to complete my objective. While on my walk I heard my second and third cannon fires of the day that rang throughout the arena. I wonder who was doing the killings. Then I made a logical conclusion that it must be the career pack making their moves and hunting down other tributes. To my relief there will be more cannon fire and loud bangs for the rest of day 2.

I continued with my search until I finally found a couple of lizards that I killed for food. They were not big enough to fill me up but they will do until I find something bigger. 

By the time the sun began to set, I found a deep pond filled with water that I could practically dunk my whole body in. The small lake or pond rested between two giant boulders. Between the boulders lies one big tree filled with greenery. There were few other trees on either side of the boulders. It was a peaceful place and perfect spot to set up camp.

I had finally found a source of drinkable water, and a place to care for my wounds. Before finding this place, I was attacked by a mutt. It was a big mutated hare that reached my hips. It had sharp razor teeth and a big sharp horn between its eyes. The hare was mutated to become a killing machine and another pawn for the gamemakers to use in the arena to kill off tributes. 

I got a couple of scraps and a deep bite mark that pierced my skin deeply. I really needed to attend to the wound before I lost any more blood. The little bastard was a tuff one to take down, but at least now I have extra food to eat. 

My wounds hurt like a bitch. I flush out the wound with clean water. When I did so I hid my screams by putting a strap from my bag to hold between my teeth. It was far better than screaming in pain and letting others know my location. I used my remaining bandages to wrap up the bite wound and stop the bleeding. 

After caring for myself, I looked around the place I had chosen to camp at some more. When I did so, I decided this place was going to be where I die or fight my last battle at. If I had a choice where to die it would be here surrounded by the beauty of nature and its greenery. 

As the sunset and it became nighttime, the Panem logo appeared in the sky once more along with the playing of the national anthem throughout the arena. Three more faces appeared in the sky for the end of day 2 of the 66th hunger games. The girl from district 6, male tribute from district 10, and the boy from district 8 had lost their lives today. Let their souls rest in peace and get a chance to be reborn in a better life. Good-bye young innocent souls that make a gruesome death that are undeserved. 

Finnick POV

My love is doing great so far as I watch him sleep and move around the arena. The number of tributes are being eliminated quickly. The career pack were on the move as I saw them find the district 6 girl near where my love was okay. I watch as the helpless girl gets beaten down and after they killed her they went on the hunt once more. They found the District 10 boy next and took him out in an ambush while chopping his head cleanly away from his boy. Lastly, they found the district 8 boy and the boy put up a great fight. However, just like the district 6 girl he meant a gruesome end. 

My darling is going to have a hard time facing the well built and trained career pack. The two males in the group are well built, but they are not overly muscular. The female from district 2 looks like she can keep up with her male counterpart. It looks like Sheely is still working with them, but when the time is near she will be getting a knife in her back when things are coming closer to an end.

I giggled when my love was attacked by a mutated hare. Rudy’s encounter was cute and worrisome. However, he might have been hurt, but my love’s cute angry face lightened my mood. If things keep going how they are going then the games will be all over tomorrow. I already lined up to send my love a healing cream that will heal up his bite wound. Along with my sponsor package, he will be receiving two more. I just couldn’t bring myself to get him anymore sponsors because when I talked to most people they wanted something more in return for their help. They wanted to have any form of sexual relation with me, but I declined immediately. The only person that I will be intimate with is with my husband. 

I always can say that I tried but at least I know I will be safe from the greedy lustful hands of the citizens of the capitol. What I got for my love will help and I know he would be winning these games. Now, I have to wait and stay strong for him. I will always be watching his back and protecting the one I love the most. So, hurry back to me my love because I am waiting for you to be in my arms anxiously.
