A Crafted Kind of Games: A Hunger Games Fanfic

Chapter Nineteen

We've been transitioning between running and walking for at least five hours through the dense, snowy forest.

We're both breathing heavily, and I don't know about Tiffany, but screw the other tributes, my legs are going to kill me.

"I think we've gone far enough." Tiffany says.

"Yeah, lets take a break." I agree, and we both sit down on a snowy rock.

Suddenly, a cannon rings out over the arena. The fighting must have stopped.

I count ten cannon blasts, and the arena goes silent again.

The sun's starting to set in the distance.

I don't like the idea of climbing a tree, but I'd feel much safer than on the ground. Who knows what the Gamemakers have in store for nighttime?

"I think we should climb a tree." I say.

"Are you serious? My legs are killing me." Tiffany complains.

"Do you want to be down here when night falls? 'Cause I sure don't feel like finding out the hard way what the Gamemakers have in store for nighttime." I answer, and stand, walking over to a tree.

"What if there's something in the trees?" Tiffany counters.

I grab on to a low branch with both hands, and jump a little to make sure it'll hold my weight. "Keep in mind that there are tributes on the ground, too."

That seems to cause her to change her mind. "Fine, I'm coming."

I pull myself up into the pine needles, and find a solid branch to keep myself in the tree.

About ten seconds later, Tiffany hoists herself on to another branch on the tree.

"We need water, and soon." She says, once we're both sitting on our branch.

I glance around at all the snow around us, and grin. "I've got an idea. Snow melts into water, right?"

She must get it, because she and I both scoop up a handful of snow off of a branch, and bingo! We've got water. (A/N: IS THIS CREATIVE? I HAVE NO IDEA :P)

Suddenly, the Capitol anthem blasts throughout the arena, and I look through the branches to see a holographic Capitol logo hovering in the sky.

I suck in a breath. I don't even know if Adam's alive or not. Now I guess I'm going to find out.

First up is the girl from Two that killed Preston. That means that both tributes from One and the boy from Two are all alive. Figures. It was luck that I killed that girl.

The thought hits me like a ton of bricks. Killed her. I killed that girl. She has a family, friends, maybe a boyfriend who really thought she would come back...

I shake my head. I can't think like this. That is how things work in the Games. You kill someone to protect yourself.

Next up is the girl from Five. Jason's alive. I don't know why, but I feel relieved. I shouldn't, because I don't even know him.

Both tributes from Six flash on the screen, and both from Seven. Yep, there's the kid who Mitch killed first.

Then Preston's face is in the sky, and I have to turn my head away, only to see Tiffany with silent tears. I want to tell her it's ok, but I know it's not.

Next up is the boy from Nine. That leaves only two left. Is one of them Adam?

No, both from Eleven flash on the screen, and the image fades.

"I'll watch, Tiffany, you can go to sleep." I say, but she stops me.

"No, I'd rather." She says, and I realize that she's been staying strong since the bloodbath, but now...

"You ok?" I ask. It's a stupid question. I know she's not.

"Yeah...it's just that he was the only thing from home in the arena, and I just wanted to be friends with him." She says.

"You sure you want to watch?" I ask her, and she nods. "Alright." I say.

I turn back around, facing the sky where the faces of the dead were in the sky a mere twenty seconds ago.

Ten are dead, fourteen left to play the game.....
