I Can't (A Hunger Games Fanfiction)

Thirty-Four: The Beginning of the End

"Well, I have to help them. You must stay here..." I pause for a moment. "And watch your surroundings," I make sure to add.

"No," Ben says. "You almost died."

"And you could die. Stay. I'm not asking."

"But."

"I'm not asking," I repeat.

"Fine, but be careful." I nod and race towards Aaron and Jon. They hold off Jessie with long sword-like knifes, but having the time to reach in their pockets for their guns. I stop, realizing my best plan.

Crawling onto my knees, I pull the bow's string over my head and over my shoulder. I crawl towards the others, trying to be silent. I hope I will be silent. I stop near Aaron and Jon's feet.

Making sure Jessie's graze is on the 'swords', I slowly pull Aaron's gun out of his belt, not even daring to touch him. I aim the gun, but I stop. I know I don't want to kill other person. I can't, but I said that before and I'm still alive.

I look back at Ben, almost hoping he'll shake his head, but he nods. Without even looking, I pull the trigger.
