The MCR Games
The Beginning of The End
Gerard's POV
The light is blinding.... I can't see. All I know is Im about to either Kill someone or BE killed by someone. I wonder where Katniss it? My vision is finally returning but I can't see her anywhere. I hope she makes it ok. "The 74th Hunger Games is about to Begin and May the Odds Be Ever In Your Favor." The announcer yells. I hear a gong sounding thing in the background. I quickly look around at the Cornucopia.... There isn't much Supplies this year. I see a bow and arrow and some kind of Fish net. And right next to that is.... An axe!
Ok. I feel better now. I just have to get to that axe and Ill be fine. I look at the clock. 5 more gongs and its a huge bloodbath. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. A pistol sounding thing goes off and I jump.
I run, forward, my eyes constantly darting from the axe to the people around me. They must not have noticed me. But then, I'm winded as someone slams into me, knocking out all of my breath. I look up. It's the boy from 8. He jumps past me and reaches for the axe, but I punch him right in his neck. He chokes and splutters as I grab the axe, slicing forward into his torso. My first kill.
I look down at the body in shock of what I've just done. But I have to keep my focus.
As I look up, the careers have bodies lying at their fight. I quickly grab a backpack, just in case there's something I could use. As I look up I see the girl from 7 get into a large struggle with the girl from 2 for a bouquet of knives. Eventually the girl from 2...Maria, I think her name is, manages to grab one of the knives out of the pile and stab the poor victim right in her neck.
Wait, what am I doing? I can't just sit here watching everyone get killed. I run out into the forest, trying to get as far away as I can from the sound of death and pain. I'm finally alone, and I look at the blood on the blade of my axe. All I can think about it...is this the start of a very traumatizing nightmare...
***********
I think I might be the luckiest person here, today. I've had practically this whole time to myself. But then I remembered, I haven't checked what's in my bag.
I unzip the compartment and dig my hand inside. A packet of matches, a coil of wire, a wrap of rope, and an empty canteen. Great. Empty. Just what I fxcking need.
Maybe I should just settle down for the night. I climb up a thick tree and look down at the forest ground below me. Empty and eerie. Just wondering about how many have ever died in the arena. I'd do the math, but I can't think about all that.
That's when I see a small glowing light in the distance. As I look closer, I noticed someone has lit a fire. How smart...
Frank's POV
I'm walking along with the careers, of course they're laughing to themselves and making as much noise as they possibly can. Are they trying to get us all killed?
That's when Alex points forward ahead of him. "Guys, look." he says. We all follow where he's pointing, to see nothing but a fire in front of us. There's a girl shivering and warming her hands. She's pretty young, about 13, and I can easily see a large gash cut into her arm, but she has her jacket off and trying to subdue the blood flow.
I get it, she's trying to use the jacket to stop the blood until it stops bleeding, and in the mean time, she's stuck in the cold. That's why she started the fire. But Maria, Alex, Noah and Olive seem to find it amusing. They burst out laughing at the poor kid who's probably scared out of her mind.
She turns around in a shock and widens her eyes in fear.
"P-please." she stammers. "I-I don't want to die."
Olive walks over to her. "Hilarious. Just the kind of show we wanted." she starts laughing maliciously. I swear she's acting no different than a villain in a film.
"Come on, guys." says Hayley, "let's just leave her to the gamemakers choice."
"I swear you don't want to ever have any fun, Hayley." pouts Maria. The whole time, the girl's just quivering, waiting for whatever's gonna end up happening.
Alex walks up to the kid and goes behind her. "What a waste of life."
"Seriously, Alex, let's just go." I say in a firm tone, walking up to him.
"No, that's boring. We just want some entertainment." and with that, he snaps the girls neck in a swift movement, letting her fall to the ground, dead.
I look up at him, shocked. "For entertainment?! What the fxck was that?!"
"It's called fun, Frank. The best way to survive in these games."
"You're fxcked up, Alex." I say. "If this is how you're gonna kill, then I'm leaving." I say. They don't say anything as I leave, but soon enough, I hear someone running towards me. I turn around and pull out my knife, holding It out in case I need to use it.
"Jesus, Frank, it's just me." she says. It's Hayley.
"What do you want?"
"Nothing. Look, I'm sick of them, too. I just think maybe you might want a partner. You know, someone who isn't a dickhead..."
I chuckle, lightning my mood. "If you wanna come, than come. There's only one rule."
"Yeah?"
"No doing what they just did. We can't kill for entertainment."
She looks slightly offended that I would even think she would ever do that. "Course not."
I sigh. "Alright, come on." And with that, she walks beside me, as the moon begins to rise, and we head off to find some shelter of our own.
