June started to worry as she started to flee. Ascending a stack of stones, she glanced back and noticed Coral following closely behind her.
She slipped through a big vent before Coral could reach her. Just in time for June to surpass an injury, she hid in between the large metal vent.
"Come out, come out where ever you are!" Coral taunted with a grin as she walked in circles. "You can't hide forever little miss Juniper."
There was a small cracks between the vents so June was able to see what was happening inside the arena. She sat back, her breaths were low and heavy as she tried to catch it.
She watched with a hand raised to her mouth as Carol used her pitchfork to stab Tanner in the stomach.
June was still inside the passageway a few moments later. She noticed Dill coughing and peered through the gaps to see him.
"No." Unaware that she had laced it with something, she sighed as she witnessed her approach the jar. She watched Dill take a sip of the water and tears welled up in her eyes.
She averted her gaze because she could no longer bear to stare. An angry shout rang out across the arena, startling June.
Through the gaps, she saw Reaper on the ground with Dill's corpse spread out across his lap.
A tear fell down her cheek as she watching Reaper hold onto his partners lifeless body. Juniper could help but feel so guilty about her death.
He rips down the capitol flag and gathers the fallen tributes. He places them peacefully and puts the flag over them as a burial. Reaper shouts in fury and sadness as all his emotions are released.
She killed her and did nothing about it, she just stayed silent. She couldn't believe how evil she could be as she watched an innocent person die in her hands.
As the negative thoughts rushed through Junes head, out of nowhere a sharp object was struck through from the slits of the vent. "Here birdie, birdie." Coral tarts shoving her weapon through trying to reach June.
With fast thinking, Juniper was able to move out of the way. June twisted over so she was crawling into the vent on all fours. It was hot inside the vent; her hair stuck onto her body, and her clothing adhering to her arms.
