Exar Shan
Three cannons echoed through the sky, and one of them belongs to someone I may have cared for. I didn't know C'rizz on a personal level, but I needed him. I needed him to help keep me alive. Eva's still here though despite being heavily damaged. Maybe she can survive another day. Just long enough for more people to die. For more people to face the ultimate price. I want to make it home, and if I can go further with her, then it'll all be worth it. But it's not the same. Her company doesn't do much especially in the bitter cold slowly cutting through my skin.
I keep the grip on my knife tight as I relax against the ice cold ground. My bones ache, and every part of my body is shivering despite having a sweater and goggles. Starting a fire and resting next to it sounds like a good plan, but it's also a fatal one because I don't want to give away my location. I help patch Eva up, but it's not enough, and it'll never be enough because the damage is already there. They tried killing her just like they killed C'rizz. They'll pay for it. I'll make sure they pay.
I watch the anthem, and I see the faces through the sky. Seventeen of us remain only sixteen more need to die in order for me to make it home to the life I want to live. I can finally have friends. I can finally settle down and live that normal life. No more training. No more fighting. No more trying to please my parents because I already have what I want to have. I only feel bad when I see C'rizz's face though, but even then I know he had to die in order for me to make it out of this alive.
Somehow I manage to drift off to sleep, but I don't sleep well because I continue waking up freezing, and I want to make sure Eva is okay. I want to make sure she's alive. The thought of killing her while she's sleeping does cross my mind, but I'm not that much of a coward. I saw her fight, and I want to fight by her side. Together we can accomplish great things. But when the morning comes, it's so much colder out, and snow covers the ground. My teeth are chattering loudly, and I'm shivering. I don't know what to do to stay warm, but I know moving on will help keep me warm.
I walk for what feels like forever, but then I notice I'm back at the cornucopia, and Eva isn't around. I don't see her, but I can hear something dragging itself across the ground. I can hear the groaning and the moaning. It's nothing like I've ever heard before, but soon the creature, no, human - that's not a human. Whatever it is comes into view, and I can see what it is. It looks like it's been under the ground for a really long time. Rotten flesh. Rotten teeth. Rotten everything, but it's holding a weapon and it's coming towards me. I take a deep breath readying my knife, and I get a view at what I can see. It looks like the district eleven male Snow used to make an example of district eleven when hope becomes real. Hopefully this kid is ready to die again.
