Your P.O.V.

*next morning*

There were only half of us remaining. 24 tributes. Haven't seen the power couple since that first encounter. I don't plan too either. Shawn hasn't done anything since that encounter in the woods, neither have I. But to be honest, I wanted him too. Me and Shawn have a connection. One that I don't even understand. After the hurt Mitch put me through, I needed some comfort.

Back in the cave, me and Shawn were sitting down discussing what happened with Mitch. Shawn was swearing and constantly saying bad things about Mitch. Honestly, some of them hurt me. That brown haired boy had a claim on me that I was fine with. Those months we spent together were amazing. I don't even know what we are anymore. Nobody kisses their enemy like that.

"So, are you and Mitch together?" Shawn asked with his face down. I smirked. I knew Shawn liked me and I kind of like him. "I'm not sure but I really need to find out" I responded. Four cannons boomed. 20 of us left. "Well, you might be hungry after all the running. So, here" Shawn said as he threw me two pieces of bread. I cravingly bit into them. But something crossed my mind.

"How would you know if I was running?" I asked. "I never told you"
"Well, you bumped into me pretty hard and I don't think that happens from walking. You were also out of breath, so I made assumptions" he said. I nodded. That's weird.

Night came sooner than expected. Since then another 6 cannons boomed. 14 left. These tributes are dropping like flies. Who knows who will drop next? I haven't considered the fact that Jennifer and Mitch are dead. Honestly I hope he feels as bad as I do. But I'm not obsessing over him anymore. I've come too far and I'm not stopping now. I may just be able to bring myself to kill him.

Shawn and I exchanged looks at each other and often smiled. I even caught him blushing for a few moments. Just then, 2 loud boom sounds filled the air, and they weren't from a cannon. I exited the cave. A few hundred yards away from me was the incoming hoard and collection of zombies,skeletons,spiders, and creepers. "Shawn! Run!" I screamed. He instantly got up and grabbed my hand to drag me away. We left the cave due to it's unsafety and climbed vines towards the tops of trees. Watching the creatures come in was mayhem. Hisses and explosions were echoing throughout the arena. Two people were down in the ground running by the mobs. I couldn't get a good description of their faces. However, creepers and skeletons easily took them out. Two cannon booms. All I saw were silhouettes collapsing. Another two cannons. Four dead. Leaving 10 alive.

All the shock was causing me to become drowsy and I instantly fell asleep in the tree. I woke up bear hugging a branch. The sun's point in the sky signaled it was some time around noon. I opened my backpack to grab a carrot to devour. I made my way down the tree to see Shawn walking away from my tree and heading to a furnace. I smiled and two figures approached me.

Mitch and Jennifer.

They're still alive. Holding hands as if they were in love. They smiled and laughed st each other.That smile on Mitch's face seemed to be non-sincere. But why would he be with her?

A shocking pain filled my body. I held back a shriek and fell to the floor. I quickly got up despite the pain and I pointed my arrow as they were a few feet away from me. My aim constantly shifted from person to person. "Don't come any closer". I warned.

Mitch P.O.V.

Jennifer had dragged me out into the woods on another "bonding" trip. I still don't love her and I never will. But this's would give me a chance to see Y/N. Jen forcefully grabbed my hand and threatened me to smile. I must've been pretty convincing because she didn't shock Y/N. Until, she caught me staring and adoring her from a distance.

My girlfriend collapsed in the ground in pain and hopped back up like the strong girl I know she is. I felt like running to her and using all my might to remove that collar. But I knew it would just get her killed. And I can't have that. She aimed her arrow at me and Jennifer giving us a warning. I almost cried at the thought of my love being turned against me.

"Don't even bother I'm not here to put up with you. Mitch and I just were passing through" Jennifer said in the fakest nice voice.
"Sure you were. Don't try anything. Or I will kill you and skin you myself". Y/N said lowering her bow.
"You're disgusting" Jennifer responded.

I stood there. Admiring Y/N's beautiful face. It has been days since I've seen it. And it somehow became more beautiful and that voice is hears is still soothing and adorable. And her body, still perfect the way it is. Jennifer grabbed my hand and led me to a tree. She leaned against it and gripped my shirt to crash me into her lips. It was horrible and sloppy so I kept my eyes open. I noticed a creeper in a bush behind Jennifer and I knew what to do. I grabbed her waist, elbowed her forehead and kicked her gut so she flew into the bush.

I turned to find Y/N staring at me with a very slight smirk. I smiled and ran extremely fast towards your name. Before I did, Jennifer's arm emerged and pressed the red button with the setting on ten. I tackled Y/N Oout of the way from the explosion and to use every ounce of my humanity to take off that collar. Instead of her dying, Y/N electrocution collar just fell off. No pain at all. I gave her a small smile and carried her bridal style away, running. The explosion commenced, leaving me with nothing visible but my lover's face and my body surrounded by smoke.
