Juniper In The 69th Hunger Games *Hunger Games Fan Fiction*

Chapter 12: The Games, Day 2 (part 2) Loss Of Loved One's

Bang!

I stand dead still, am I dead? I hope not it doesn't feel like I'm dead, my body is still functioning, I look at Magnus he look's behind himself and his face completely changes. I slowly look behind me Zade's motionless body lies face first in the sand with a purple like dart in the back of his neck, I assume it's some sort of poison.

Hersha is already at his side screaming  and shoving his body.

"Zade wake up! please wake up we need you! come on please wake up!.'' She screams with tears coming down her face and punching his body.

Hersha balls her eyes out with tears.

"Where did that come from?'' Magnus yells while looking around.

After multiple frantic seconds of searching... "There!'' Conny screams while pointing to what looks as if it's a girl maybe 30 metres away now, up on top of a mini cliff, her long brown hair flies behind her while she sprints off into the distance.

"Helpseth quick get her!" I scream.

Helspeth pulls Hersha's bow out of her hands, and draws one of her arrows, Hersha is too deep mourning Zade's imminent death to do anything, Helspeth reacts by shooting an arrow just missing her small body. As the girl runs Helspeth fires another shot missing more this time as the sandy win pushes it into an eroded rock on the girls left. I here Helspeth curse under her breath as she misses and in response Magnus yells to get her and we run towards her direction, but she is out of sight and her location is unknown to us.

I lead the group including Hersha to around a small dune where a cavern entrance opens up, I have no idea if she is in there but where else could she possibly be, the half eaten bowl of soup gives it away that this must be where she stayed the night. The cave entrance is dark and quiet the only sounds that my ear's can hear is the sound of heavy breathing and sand and rocks being kicked as we run up the hill.

"Conny, go in there and see who is in there.'' I Yell. My axe is lowered and ready I'm expecting the unexpected which is natural for the hunger games, literally anything can happen, on second it may be raining next minute it could be an earthquake.

Conny looks at me, she follows my order with no doubt she slowly walks in with her spear raised, in a strong wielding stance Although I don't believe she is familiar with general spear combat, when you are in an enclosed area with minimal room your better off with a sword or even a dagger but instead she keeps her spear raised in a 45 degree angle hoping for the best.

Seconds of silence pass as she scouts out that opening, the only thing I hear is the heavy breathing of us careers and the wind as it blows sand into the air. Once again I look at the bowl of half eaten soup, but this time I kick it off the mini cliff like dune and it falls down with the watery food falling and soon after hits the scorching ground as it soaks into the lifeless hot sand.

The silence is broken with the loud grunts and screams of 2 girls both Conny and the girl from 7, at this point the girl from 7 is on top of Conny with a small knife almost at her neck, but Conny holds her arm back. I begin to pace forward with my axe but Magnus stops me and Helspeth and say's. "No, this is her fight.'' Conny dives in top of her and pins her down with a knife at her throat, once the knife is in place she goes dead still.

"Faye isn't it?" Conny say's while letting out an evil laugh. 

"What does it matter to you? just kill me and get it over with.'' She say's while spitting in Conny's eye.

Conny rubs her eye on her jacket rubbing away the soliver. "You little Twat" Conny say's while Faye is struggling out of Conny's grasp with a fist clenched.
