"HELLO!" the announcer's voice boomed. "WE ARE TODAY TO HAVE A FEAST FOR THE REMAINING 7 TRIBUTES AND 4 DISTRICTS. AT THE CORNUCOPIA, THERE IS A TABLE FILLED WITH ITEMS THAT YOU DESPERATELY NEED. HAPPY HUNGER GAMES, AND MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOR."
"Your leg medicine." Shawn whispers. "I'm going, Bella."
"NO." I answer. "THAT'S JUST WHAT THEY WANT US TO DO. I'M GOING, OR NEITHER OF US. ON SECOND THOUGHT, NEITHER OF US ARE GOING."
Suddenly, a wave of pain crashes one my leg and I wince. My arm also burns, along with the burn on my leg.
"It might not even be that." I respond as he starts forming a plan in his head. "It might be burn medicine. If we're lucky, they'll send us a first aid kit with bandages, burn medicine, and pain meds."
"We're going, then." Shawn announced, but I heard a quiet beep and looked up.
A small silver parachute landed in my lap and I opened it up. Inside was a small package of burn medicine and a roll of bandages.
"Okay, so at the feast it WILL be the pain medicine." I say quietly.
"I'm going." Shawn said firmly.
"You sound like Joshua." I mutter. "FINE! But I'm going with you."
He sighs, pausing before he finally nods.
"Let's go." I say, and Amy pauses.
"Logan will be going." she said. "I don't need anything that bad, so I'll stay here."
"NO WAY!" I cry. "We've been through ALL OF THIS together. That's not going to end now. Ash, you need some sleep meds, the black under your eyes is starting to scare me. Cameron, anything that you need?"
"I'd kill for a double bacon cheeseburger." he joked.
I grin.
"Then let's go."
After the long trek to the Cornucopia, the large horn finally appears.
I spot Zelia crouching in the bushes, and before I can point her out, she sprints to the large table on the other side, and disappears into the forest.
I meet Shawn's eye before sprinting out and grabbing the bags for District 12 and the bulging one labeled District 3.
When, I reach the brush, I see the tributes from District 10 sprinting towards us.
As we disappear into the forest, I climb a tree with Amy and Shawn stays on the ground with Cameron.
Thankfully, the District 10 tributes were long gone.
I nearly fall out of the tree when the cannon lets out three sharp blasts.
I see Amy wince as she realizes that Logan might be dead.
Thankfully, she soon realizes that he isn't.
The anthem plays for the third time, the seal of Panem flashes, and more people are announced dead.
The boy from 10, the boy from 7, and the girl from 4.
I see Shawn calculating on the ground and I yawn. Soon, Amy wakes me up.
"I can't sleep." she whispers. "Can you sing your lullaby?"
That's when I realize that no matter what, I would never be able to kill her. In fact, I loved her so much that I would die for her if it came to that.
