Finding Finnick

Chapter 13

Chapter 13

"No! Kill him!" Sakhaia whispers loudly in my ear. "No" I reply. He finally gets up and sits right across from us. This is it. Just in case he is out for blood, I take a knife against his throat. "Please! Please! Don't kill me!" He cries. "Who are u?" I ask.

"Stanley! Stanley..from district 6, I'm 17 I was reaped like any other tribute! I don't want to fight, please." He says. Right in the middle of our nice convo, we hear another canon, and another name goes up in the sky. "If you make one trick, move, or scandal on us Stanley, you are going to be gone befor you even know it." I say.

"Ok, I won't. I promise. I'm just trying to stay alive."

I release him and introduce him to Sakhaia. "This is Sakhaia, District 11. She's only 14 and if you make one move on her you'll regret it when you go to hell." I say. "Nice to meet you. I promise I wot hurt any of you. And I'm honestly surprised you spared you're life for me." He says.

"It's ok, Stanley. Were all allies now, ok? Our target is just to stay alive, more likely not to kill." I explain. He nods his head.

"I'm good at a spear. And setting traps. I'll share the bird with you, and the lizard." He explains and opens his back pack up to show.

"Oh my god...thank you.." I say. Sakhaia and I are completely starving. Stanley just smiles at me, and Sakhaia. He's a fine looking boy must I say.

"You're amazing at catching animals.." Sakhaia says. He chuckes a bit and says, "thank you. I believe I've seen you shoot before with Lillian in training. You're very good." He says.

"Wait...how do you know my name...?"

"Really, Lillian?! C'mon! Everyone knows you're name!" Stanley teases me and I smile a bit.

That night, everyone went to sleep fine. Besides me, I took first watch. I smelt something burning about just a few miles away from me and looked to see it was a fire. I quickly get down knowing how fast asleep Sakhaia and Stanley are, and run quietly towards the person with the fire. I quickly get a knife out and make it look like I'm bout to attack, so she cowards on the ground, but instead I cut out the fire. And fast. Now there's smoke it still attracts. "Haha!" That sounded like Finnick. He's near by with the careers.

"Come with me, run!" I grab the girls arms but she stands back.

"Come on, I won't kill you. I won't it's ok, quick before the careers kill both of us I know where to hide, I have a couple of friends sleepin in a tree. Come on!" I whisper. She still stands there in shock. "I'm sorry if I scared you at first but that's the only way I knew you wouldn't kill me, please we have to go!" I stil try. I take her hand in mine and give her a warm smile. "It's ok, don't worry." I say. She nods and runs with me. But we don't get to far up ahead before they notice us. "There! It's her! Let's go get her now! Haha!" They laugh. And chase after us, Finnick in lead with his trident. Glimmer shooting arrows at us, and Clove throwing knifes. "Ow!!" The little girl weeps. "Here!" I say and pick her up, knife still her left leg. "Stanley!" I yell so that he helps her up. "What the hell were you thinking? Huh?!" He scolds me, and gets the girl up. But doesn't have enough time before helping me up. "I'll meet you guys back here ok! Stay hidden!" I say and take off. The sun starts to come out, and I'm close to the cornicopia, probably where there will be more knifes. I turn around and throw a knife at them. Probably missed.

"Where you goin, Trescott, huh?!" I can hear clove taunt me from behind. She's almost close to me I can feel it. I suddenly stop, and feel her run into me. We both fall on the group, and she stabs my right arm with her knifes, as she topples on me.

I yelp.

"Ah! No!" I scream. And I get onto her and pin her down. I don't want to kill her now. Not like this. I can still hear the others behind coming close. I wack her head with a hard punch, and stab her lightly in the a. Quickly, before she can get up and kill me. I rush up and climb to the top of the cornucopia and try to be camouflage so they can't see me.

I peak over though and see what's going on. Cato helps clove stand up and they negotiate. "Where the hell did she go?!" He asked. Loudly. "I don't know! I think she went into the cornucopia! We have to stop her! Go!" She yells.

"What should we do with him." I hear Marvel come up and shove a weak, scared and brave Stanley to the ground.
