Capitol Games 2

Arena Part 6

"I should've figured you didn't trust me..." Jake said. "WHAT?!" I replied. He shook his head.

"You got a weapon instead of going with me." He said. I threw a knife at him. He dodged it.

I was tired. He took the opportunity and took out an arrow. He shot it at me, but I stepped aside.

I quickly picked up the knife that had fallen. I threw it at him and he wasn't quick enough to react.

A cannon blew. The sound stung my ears and I started feeling sick. "What have I done?" I thought.

Nick stood up and put his arm around me in a friend-like way. "It's ok." He said. I looked at Jake's unmoving body.

Later that day, I was sitting out near the entrance of the cave when Nick came and sat next to me.

I wasn't in the mood to talk. "Hey." He said. I looked away. "I'm sorry about the guy..." He started.

Then the music started playing and they showed the fallen tributes. There where only 5 (including Nick and I) left.

"We've made it pretty far." I said. "Yup." He replied. A loud cannon went off. Four left now.

We went back in the cave and I was about to fall asleep when I felt Nick hold my hand.

I held his too. I guess having someone around made it feel safer. "Wake up!" I heard Nick whisper.

I sat straight up. I heard a loud howling sound. "Wolves?" Asked Nick. "I'm afraid so..." I replied peeking out of the cave.

We crawled deeper into the cave where we where safe. Then, I fell asleep almost instantly.
