The Cartoon Games

Chapter 10

"I KNOW you killed Gumball!" Penny says, her eyes tearing.
"We during do anything!" Margaret says.
Mordecai lifts me up to get the backpacks that were in the tree. By the time I get them, my hands are nearly burning. I scream.
"Alright, alright!" Mordecai says, panicking. He starts to blow on my hands, and I blow too. The burns have gone away, but now they're killing me. I can't grab anything, so I can't help Margaret fight off Penny. Mordecai grabs his spear and holds up to Penny.
"DON'T!" I say.
Mordecai gives me a stare, as if saying what-did-you-just-say-missy, but then he drops the spear.
"We didn't kill Gumball," Margaret says finally.
"LIAR!" She says, crying now.
"WE SWEAR!" We yell together.
"I think I know who it was," I say.
"It was one of the Careers. I don't know who, but it was either April, Leonardo, Sylvia, or Finn."
"I'll kill them all," says Penny, and she walks away.
"We can't use this tree anymore," Mordecai says.
We start to walk to the nearest tree, but then see the Careers, all of them, talking to each other. I can barely make out what they're saying, but mainly all I hear is "kill" and "stay together".
"You think they know we're here?" I ask Margaret.
"No," she whispers. "But if we don't move quickly, they will.
"ACHOO!"
Margaret and I stare at Mordecai. Then we look at the Careers.
"Oh no," Mordecai mutters.
"WE'VE GOT TRIBUTES!" Leo yells.
"RUN!" Mordecai conducts us. We start to run quickly, the three of us together. I tell myself, I can't die. Mordecai can't die. Margaret can't die. Even Robbie can't die.
Then, I remember. My knives. The throwing knives I found. The Careers were fairly away, enough time for me to kill at least a person, and that would slow them down.
I take off the rubber band.
"MABEL!" Margaret yells.
Margaret starts after me.
"NO!" I yell. "I GOT THIS!"
I throw a knife.
"Please God," I start. "Please make this work."
I hear a yelp from the Careers. It was a girl.
Princess Bubblegum.
"Mabel!" Mordecai and Margaret yell in unison. "You got her! Now we gotta move!"
We start to run, and then we hear the cannon. Bubblegum is dead.
Another one is heard.
"No..." I start.
"NOO!"
I knew who it was.
Penny.
I heard her voice in the distance.
"Penny's gone," I sob.
"It's ok Mabel," Mordecai says.
It starts to get dark out, and we see the perfect tree.
"How's your hands feeling, kiddo?" Margaret says.
"They feel like Satan came and scratched them," I say.
Then I look up.
A parachute falls from the sky. Have I gotten my first sponsor?
I open it up.
"You did well out there. We miss you. Win for us," I read.
It was my family.
They WERE still watching. I thought they couldn't bear to see me.
Inside is a medicine. I'm guessing it was for my hands. I rub it on. It burns at first, but it a matter of time it goes away. I put it in the black (which was originally neon green) backpack.
I go into a tree and see a camera.
"Thank you," I whisper.
I come from the tree and we set up our sleeping bags.
"Night everyone," I say, yawning.
The dead tributes play in the sky. PB and Penny were the only ones who died today.
"Rest in peace Penny," I say.

Something at around 2:30 A.M. wakes us up.
I grab my throwing knives. It was originally in a set of 10, and now I only have 6 because I killed a rabbit last night (and I do feel guilty for killing something I love).
"Mabel," Margaret whispers.
"Yeah?" I say, whispering back.
"The Careers are right there."
I try not to yelp.
"Mordecai," I say, shaking him. "Wake up." Instantly he wakes up
"Get your spear. The Careers are right there."
"I hear whispering!" April says.
"Isn't that..." Sylvia says.
"IT IS! GET THEM!" Finn yells.
"THEY SEEN US!" I say, beginning to throw my knives. We all begin to fight. I feel someone grab my leg.
"Why, aren't you going to look cute when you're dead!" Sylvia says.
"AGHHHH!" I say, half angry and half crying. I stab her in the head.
Cannon.
"I don't feel guilty," says Phineas, as he holds a sword up to my neck. Luckily his fingers were weak, and he drops his sword, leaving a cut mark on my leg which is now bleeding. I grab the sword and push it through his ear.
Cannon.
"I CAN'T BELIVE YOU, THAT LITTLE BRAT!" Screams Finn, really steaming now. "LETS GET HER!"
I'm surrounded by Finn, Leo, April, and Rarity.
"Four against three, this won't be hard now, will it?" Rarity says. Like she could beat me anyways, she has hooves for Pete's sake! I charge toward her. She stumbles back and trips. I stab her eye.
Cannon.
"More like three against three," I say.
"No, more like two against 3," Finn says. Although it's dark I can see a smirk on his face.
When I turn my head, I see that Margaret is dead.
