Surviving The Beast (Featuring Your OCs) [TMNT Hunger Games AU]

Tearful Farewells (Districts 7 to 12)

District 7

The door clicked softly as Master Splinter pushed it open. Destiny and Leonardo looked his way, and the old rat mutant smiled sadly.

"My children," he addressed them, giving them both a hug.

"Hello, father," Leonardo replied, a sorrowful look on his face.

The two friends were the only family that Master Splinter had left, and they were about to leave him because of the stupid Games that were supposed to amuse the Capitol.

"I don't want to go, father..." Destiny murmured.

"Yes...I understand. Let us go, then," their Sensei sighed, leading Leonardo and Destiny to where the train was waiting for them.

District 8

Kat heard the angry yowls and shouts of her sister as she demanded the Peacekeeper to let her in. Once she was given permission, she barged straight into the room.

"Kat!" she exclaimed, "Why the freaking furballs did you volunteer for me, you fleabrain?!" she screamed. "You shouldn't have, and you're going to get yourself killed!"

"But aren't we all..." Kat muttered, looking up at her. "I'm your sister, and there's no way that I am going to see you die and not do anything about it," she argued firmly. "It's better me dead than you anyways."

Nira gritted her teeth. "You stupid, stubborn little nut!" she cursed, stomping her foot.

Merly, Kat's adoptive father, hobbled into the room. He embraced Kat, giving her a nod and a sad smile.

"I had to. I couldn't bear to see you die, I just couldn't," Kat mumbled quietly.

Nira threw her arms around the tribute, giving her a tight hug. "Thank you," she whispered. "Stay safe." Her clear blue eyes locked with Kat's brown ones.

"Nira, take care of Merly," Kat said. "I guess this is goodbye." She gave her sister a sad smile.

With that, Nira gave her a nod, and returned the gesture. "Goodbye, Kat. Take care," she replied, her voice barely a whisper, but loud enough so Kat could hear her.

Kitty emerged from her spot beside the chair, shifting back to her more human-like form.

Her sister Kate, and her father, Frank, had left the room after saying their goodbyes as well.

She sighed. "I hate this."

Kat glanced at her. "Yeah. I agree. I hate it too."

District 9

Chase wrapped his arms around his younger sister.

"Please don't leave, Chase," she pleaded, tears leaking from her eyes.

"I'm sorry." Chase looked down. "I have to. Take care of yourself, okay?"

The mutant field mouse sighed, looking down. After a while, she responded. "Okay." She wiped her eyes.

"Goodbye," Chase said, stroking his hand over her head, before getting up and heading over to the train.

His sister weeped sadly as a tear rolled down her cheek, and watched him go.

Meanwhile, Sythia looked up as she heard someone come in the door. It was her father, who was very distant with her.

"What do you want?" she demanded.

Her father flinched at her cold attitude. "I just wanted to wish you good luck on the Games," he replied softly.

Sythia nodded.
