The 100th Hunger Games- Fourth Quarter Quell

Chapter 36

Serena POV

I stand, with my dart gun and my 36 darts in my backpack. They insert a simple tracker into my right wrist.

"Serena, we will be able to track you just like the rest. No cannon firing. But Titus only controls the attractions and I will control the trackers. So no one will see the extra one. Got it? And remember, cut off the tracker when you manage to get to Carmen. So far, her tracker is at the north of the jungle. I'll land you right around there. Go search for her." Sara instructs. I nod and I'm sent down. My backpack is loaded with a litre of water,with just some packs of crackers and beef.

With my darts, I hastily decide to start from the left. Sara hasn't left me with anything to help track Carmen besides the information before. Without any actual weapons to slice or cut through the thick vegetation, it's really a hastle. But the grass below me is always already flattened. That at least gives me hope that Carmen could be near. Just then, I see a corpse on the ground. A silver arrow pierces through the heart of this 'victim'. On a closer look, I see the similar face shape of Carmen. With blonde hair, he holds a knife in his hands. It's soaked with blood.

It can't be, right? Carmen can't possibly kill her Dad, could she?

Carmen POV

I tread through the forest. Suddenly, I hear footsteps. Quiet, but not as silent for me not to hear. My hands go to my arrows. Load up my bow. Turn around and see apparently "Dad".

"What do you want, idiot?" I holler.

"Carmen, just trust me. I left for a good reason!" He replies. In his hands is a simple knife. I hestitate to kill him. My hands are ready.

"You abandoned us!" I screech back.

"I didn't."

"Shut the fuck up! I don't wanna to talk to you! You son of a bitch!"

Suddenly, he charges at me with his knife.

"If you don't, I'll kill you."

"You must be crazy, you moron." I reply. He hits my thigh with his knife. I sqrium in pain and my anger rises. Suddenly, in the flick of the eye, my arrow releases. It pierces straight into the heart of my "Dad". He falls back, dead. Blood pools everywhere. Did I just kill my Dad?

I leave the arrow there. Don't bother with the knife soaked with my blood. I hold my knee with my palm and start running forward. I refuse to look back.

What a crazy asshole. He's not my Dad. He isn't.

I run foward, with the idea of finding Crystal back. My hands sweat and blood bleeds through. I find some moss and bandage up the wound. Clear up the blood on my hands. Breathe hard. Worry overtakes me.

Serena POV

Footstep sounds in front of me. I had retrieved the arrow in the heart. Dashing up, I tap her on the back. Her loaded bow points straight on me.

"Serena?!" She exclaims.

"Shut up for two seconds." I say.

"Sure."

"You have to come with me. We're going to Disrict 13."

"WHAT THE FUCK?! FUCKIN DISTRICT 13?!" Carmen exclaims. She bites her lips hard enough to conceal the screeches and complains she's going to make.

"We are trying to get you out. Trying to get as many people from the Larts out."

She nods. I walk back with her. However, just as I get to the hovercraft, Sara pushes me out and brings Carmen in.
