Chapter 13- Struggle

Shane's POV

I let my head fall back against the tree. I close my eyes. Jerome should've just killed me. He only left me with a "small" wound.

As in small, I mean

He swung his axe against my head.

It left a huge gash and I hit my head pretty hard. After I fell to the ground he tied me to the tree. I had no strength to fight back.

And now I was here praying to just see Joey. That was the plan. And if I can't find him then we're all screwed.

X: Dan!

Shane: Hello?

X: Who's there?

Shane: Me.

He stepped out into the open. His eyes went wide when he saw my face. He kneeled down next to me carefully looking at my face.

X: Wow. That's bad.

Shane: I know. Well I'm Shane. And I'm guessing you're not gonna kill me considering how easy it would be right now.

X: I'm Phil. And no I won't kill you. I'm looking for Dan.

Shane: Well if you untie me, I will help you. I'm looking for Joey so we can both look.

Phil: Oh thank you! This is great!

He unties me. I borrow his knife to leave Jerome a note on the tree.

Jerome,

I will find Joey before you do. Back off or else. I'm stronger than you think.

-Shane

Shane: There! Ok let's go.

Phil: Great!

We take off. I totally forget about my head until I get dizzy and trip.

Phil: I think we need some medicine for your head.

I nod and sit up. I feel my face and wince. I pull back my hand and it's covered in blood. I look down and see blood pouring from my head.

Phil looks worried. He catches my head when I fall. He puts a jacket under it.

I'm going to die.

Shane: Just leave me.

Phil: I won't. I'm staying.

Shane: You're gonna get killed.

Phil: What should I do?

Shane: Leave me alone for a bit. If the bleeding stops then I need to find Joey.

Phil: Got it. You should rest then.

I nod and close my eyes.

BOOM!

Joey's POV

Dan and I are frantically running around. We are both looking for our other half. Our soul mate. The one for us.

Dan: Wait. I heard a noise.

Joey: Where?

Jerome: It's me.

Joey: What do you want?

Jerome: I have Shane. Team with me and I'll spare him.

Joey: Take me to him!

He nods. All three of us run until we come up to a tree.

Jerome: Damn it!

I look at the message carved into the tree.

Jerome,

I will find Joey before you do. Back off or else. I'm stronger than you think.

-Shane

Where is he then?

Jerome: You'll still team with us?

Joey: No way! Let's go Dan.

Lisa's POV

I take a deep breath. I step on and sit across from Chad.

Chad: This has to work. I'm already in trouble for not being at the Capital getting sponsors.

We hear someone shout and point at the TV. We both look at it.

It's Shane. His head is bleeding out. And Joey isn't with him. He's running away from Jerome.

Lisa: This is not good. This isn't the plan!

I throw something across the small room.

Chad: Keep your cool. Remember the plan. When they meet up prepare to give the order.

Lisa: I will.

Chad: Good luck.

I nod and reach across to him for a hug. I watch him walk off. He returns with some pretty girl.

Chad: I hope you don't mind. I can't lose my wife.

Lisa: No problem.

Angie: Actually guys, I've evacuated their families and yours Lisa.

Lisa: And Brittany?

Angie: I couldn't find her. Sorry.

Lisa: It's fine.

My eyes flicker back to the TV. We all see the cameras on Shane. Then we hear a BOOM. The camera switches to another tribute. Shane is dead.

At least we think.
