Ignore my last post!

~Raven~

Finally, I hop down from my tree and hunt.  When I have enough to last me a few days, I just wander around.  I'm about to walk into a clearing when I hear an odd sound.

Swish!  Clang!  Swordfighting!

I peak between two bushes.  The boy who refused to kill me earlier is locked in combat with the boy from my district.  A boy and a girl stand on the side of the clearing across from me.

"Alize! Keep Venture away!" says the boy who didn't kill me.  So the girl must be Alize, and the boy with her must be Venture.  Alize is shooting an arrow at the boy from district 7.  He dodges... and I relize that the arrow is headed straight for me.

Alize sees me and her eyes widen.  I try to dodge, but it's too late.  The arrow enters my skull and kills me.

Nino~

I saw the girl watching from the bushes fall dead, an arrow in her head. I looked at Alize, but she seemed as confused as I was. When I looked away, it gave the boy from 7 a chance. He lunged at me and everything seemed to go in slow motion.

The boy threw his sword. This could be the end of me... but then something horrible and fatal happened. Venture jumped. He blocked the sword with his body, and falls to the ground, off the mountainside and off a cliff, dead.

As the cannon sounds twice, and I fill with anger, raising my sword. I don't care what happens next. I don't care about anything anymore.

Noo!!! Everyone is dying!!

Venture falls from the cliff and the cannon sounds. I know he is dead. And it is my fault. It was my job to protect the little boy, and I failed, killing another girl. I hate myself for all the pain I have caused, but if I fall apart now, then more people will die. Niño stands as if in a trance, his face blank but his eyes roaring with anger. The other boy has no weapon now, but he can still hurt Nino, so I draw an arrow, and fitting it to the string, I let it fly. The arrow implants itself fully into the other boy's back, the tip poking out, and he falls to the ground in a heap. He is not dead, and there is no cannon, but I cannot bring myself to finish him. He will most likely die of the wound anyway. Niño still stands transfixed, watching where Venture fell from as if expecting him to come back. 

" Niño! Come on!" I shout, half blinded by my tears. But he does not reply. So I grab him by the wrist and tug him away, half dragging, half running back to the cave. When we get there, I fall to the floor exhausted, tears streaming down my face. Niño shouts and yells and hits the stone floor in rage, and I do not attempt to stop him. We are both broken now. After a while, he slouches down next to me, and I can see he is crying too. I begin to speak.

" So there are three of us left. You, me, and Heather. We should probably dissolve the alliance. "

Niño answers in a rough tired sounding voice. "Yea, maybe so." 

But even if I wanted to, I could not leave Niño now. "Forget about it," I say. "If I'm going to die, it won't be fighting you. And if I'm going to live, and win the Hunger Games, it won't be by killing you either. We aren't going to dissolve the alliance. OK? We're going to win for Venture."

I reach out and hug him in a friendly way. But Venture still seems to be here. How will these games end? 

Quill groaned in pain at his wound. He was going to die. He knew it. But he had one more trick up his sleeve.

Quill pulled a small jar out of his pocket. A jar containing a scythe serpent, a tiny, extremely deadly snake created by the capitol. He had illegally smuggled the thing into the arena, and he knew he could be killed for owning it, but he was already going to die. Quill unscrewed the jar and took out the snake.

"Hey Nino! Heard you didn't like snakes!"

Quill tossed the snake as he breathed his last breath. The last thing he saw was Nino's horrified face as the snake latched onto his ankle...

Please post!

I'm not sure how long Niño has left. A day? Maybe less? Almost instantly after being bitten by the serpent, Niño ripped the thing off of his leg and trampled it to death. But it still doesn't change the two gaping holes in his leg that are oozing venom and blood. He insists that he's fine, but I order him not to move, then I bound up his leg to cut off circulation and keep the venom from spreading throughout his body. I'm not sure what else to do. I'm not sure what else I can do. This is the time that I need a sponser. I need someone to get me the medicine, or Nino is dead. Surely they know this too . An hour later they announce a feast. They will have the medicine. Should I risk my life for Niño? But I know I will go. I have to. I grab my bow and run to the woods.
