It ends
After Alex and I go hunting I wake up Poppy and together with Alex And Poppy we go look for some water. Along the way, Poppy stops and Stares into the woods ahead. I freeze and listen in. Hearing footsteps, I raise my bow and aim it toward the sound and out staggers A male tribute bleeding, and stumbling all over. I look into his eyes, which are A green-blue color but look clouded in pain. "Alex!" I shout. "Go get me some pine needles now!" Before Alex can run off grey parachute comes down. I quickly open it and assess the contents, thread, a needle, and some bandages. I get to work on the wound as quickly as possible, being sure to keep him conscious as I go.
Later Alex Poppy and Julian, -The dude I fixed- and I are sitting in a tree and talking. We are discussing what might happen when I hear a faint buzzing sound. Tracker Jackers! "Come on!" I scream to my group as we run frantically for the edge of the woods. Then, It happens, something in my mind snaps as I grip poppy's arm and sprint to the meadow outside of the woods. There must be some kind of force field only the trackers could sense and they retreated after we had gotten out into the meadow. I turn, only to see Alex still inside the forest being stung by the trackers and staggering around. I scream his name and cry until all of the wretched bees are gone. Then I run to him and find out he is close to dying. I hug him and cry, knowing there is nothing I can do about it. Then, My brain tells me to sing, so I sing my favorite song, The Hanging Tree.
Are you, Are you coming to the tree
They stung up a man
Who they said murdered three...
My voice trails off as I see Alex's eyes open with surprise and confusion "I-I'm alright." He says. I throw my arms around him, crying, sobbing. "You almost died!" I choke out. Out of the corner of my eye, I see something small, grey laying on the ground."A parachute!" I scream. We all run over to it and open the package up, it contains medicine to help Tracker Jacker stings and some water. I ration out the water and then help Alex with his medicine. After a while, we find a nice spot to sleep and watch the dead tributes. district 1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,8, 9, 10 all tributes dead, with only District 11, and 12 remaining things start to heat up over the next few days I find Julian with a spear through him after me and Alex have gone hunting, next I find Poppy dead from her ankle getting infected. I cry a lot and hunt. Soon, its down to Alex, A district 11 tribute named Elysee and me. The rest of the tributes have turned into mutts, and we are trying to hide from them up on trees. I watch them take Elysee and almost get Alex before they vanish. Then, I faint. As I fade in and out of consciousness, I see Alex being Dragged around by the mutts and I scream. I try to save him, and I manage to get my hand in his and pull, hard. I hear an agonized scream as I yank him free. I assess the wounds and I deem them not bad as another small grey parachute comes floating down with medicine and bandages. I dress the wounds, and Alex lets out a strangled cry and he struggles to keep alive. I scream and cry as he slowly dies. Then I sing. I sing him the song. The song of brokenness.
Are you
Coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man
They said murdered three.
I watch as the hovercraft comes and picks him up, and then I walk away. I find a hiding spot up in a tree and try to get some sleep.
