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

Midnight Murder

The Capitol Anthem played, showing the faces of the five dead tributes: Darkness from District 1, Alexis Queen from District 1, Penelope Sharma from District 2, Kayla Smith from District 6, and Caravina Romano from District 11.

"Five tributes killed in a day?" Kitty whisper-shouted. "That was the same amount as the tributes killed in the Bloodbath!"

"Well, three of them were killed early in the morning, right after the last time the Capitol Anthem was playing," Colten pointed out. "Looks like someone targeted the Careers. The other two were killed during the day."

"I know, but five? That's crazy!"

The cyborg nodded as they lay in the dark building, the only source of light was the moonlight that was shining through the broken window.

"Go to sleep, Kitty. I will keep watch," Colten told her.

The cat mutant lay down onto the smooth, hard surface. "Wake me up when it's my turn." The cyborg nodded.

Kitty closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t fall asleep. The events were happening so quickly. People were dying so quickly. She might not even make it out of here alive. Even if she and Colten were the last ones there, the Capitol wouldn’t let them both win.

Suddenly, she felt thirsty. Very thirsty. She opened her eyes. “Hey, Colten, do you have some water?” she asked.

The cyborg shook his head. “Sorry. I don’t,” he replied. Then she remembered her spile.

“Hold on, I’ll go get us some water,” Kitty said, sitting up.

“No, I’ll do it. You stay here and watch our supplies,” Colten argued. He took the spile from Kitty’s hands and exited the fallen building.

Kitty frowned, remembering the last time she let someone go out on their own. Olivia, she got brutally slaughtered when she went out to get some grass to weave bowls with. Kitty didn’t want the same thing to happen to Colten. There was a loud crunching sound. Suddenly, a cannon boomed. She got up to check on the cyborg, but the moment she faced the outside of the building, she jumped back and screeched at the sight before her.

There, lying face down onto the broken glass, was Colten.

She ran forward to the cyborg’s corpse, not caring if the tiny shards of glass got stuck in her shoes.

“Colten!” she cried, lifting the cyborg’s head and placing it on her lap. “Why does this always happen to me?!” she demanded into the empty air.

“What do you have against me? What did I ever do to you?!” Kitty shouted. Finding a camera stuck in a nearby tree, she yanked it out and threw it to the ground, repeatedly crushing it with her foot and screaming.

But unfortunately for her, that wasn’t a very good choice. Kitty stopped and straightened up. Her cat ears perked, and she had a weird, tingling feeling. She ducked, just in time as an axe flew right over her head. Unable to meet its target, the weapon clattered to the ground. Her eyes widened, and she realized that she was in danger.

The cat mutant ran back towards the building, but there was a faint snarling noise coming from where she and Colten had set up their camp.

The snarling grew louder and louder, until finally, a vampire bat mutant lunged right at her, pinning her to the ground. Kitty yowled as she tried to claw Sythia off. Her opponent bared her fangs. She dug her nails into the pale-skinned girl’s arm, but Sythia didn’t let go.

“Why don’t I put you out of your misery,” the vampire bat mutant growled. She bared her fangs again, and Kitty shut her eyes tightly. She waited for the killing bite, but it never came. Instead, Sythia thrusted a sai into her chest, making her open her eyes and gasp in pain. Blood started pooling at the newly formed wound.  Sythia stood up and flew off, leaving the sai in her chest.

Kitty's breaths became short and unstable as she gasped for air. Every time she inhaled, her lung throbbed. She lay motionless on the ground, knowing that she would not make it. She breathed in one last time, even though it hurt so much. Kitty exhaled, and at once, the cannon boomed.

The Hunger Games were going to come to an end soon. 17 tributes down, 7 to go...
