Jerome's POV
I wake up to the sound of a cannon. It's morning, and Mitch is on watch.
"I was just about to wake you up, but I guess I don't have to," Mitch says.
Skyler is sleeping peacefully, and I gently shake her.
"Come on, Sky. We gotta go," I say. She wakes slowly and nods before sitting up and grabbing her sword.
Suddenly, we hear the capitol music playing and then a voice.
"Attention tributes, this is an announcement to let you know that the mutations will be released at noon, as well as the restocking of the chests."
"Not mutts," Skyler sighs.
"But chests! We could use better armour and maybe a sword for Mitch," I say.
"Come on, we gotta get moving," Mitch says. He has his bow in his hand as he jumps out of the train car. Skyler and I follow close behind.
"Where do we go now?" I ask.
"Cornucopia. Let's see what we can get," Mitch says.
We sprint off in the direction of the cornucopia. I see a hover craft lifting the recently deceased person from the arena, but I don't let it distract me.
"What's the time?" Skyler asks.
"10. We don't have much time," I say, checking my hologram bracelet. It also conveniently shows the time.
We reach the cornucopia and begin searching for loot. I find an iron chestplate, but since Mitch and I already have one, I give it to Skyler.
"Jerome, have some iron pants," Mitch says. I put them on and look at my armour. I have a chain helmet and boots and iron pants and chestplate. Mitch has an iron helmet, pants and chestplate and chain helmet. Skyler has iron boots, helmet and chestplate and chain pants.
We're pretty stacked.
I find Mitch a stone sword and give it to him.
"Dood, I found another two diamonds!" Mitch exclaims.
"I have a third one and two sticks, if you need," Skyler says. Mitch and I look at each other and grin.
"Betty!"
Skyler gives us the diamond and sticks and we make the beautiful Betty, the diamond axe.
I take her in my hand and chop the air.
"Perfect."
"Who's Betty?" Skyler asks. Mitch gasps.
"Biggums, we've never told her about Betty!"
"Well, let's tell her now! Betty is a diamond axe, the best weapon ever. Every time Mitch and I would play survival games, we would try to make Betty. Now, in the Hunger Games, we've made Betty!" I explain. Skyler grins.
"She's pretty special then, isn't she?"
I nod.
"The most special weapon of all."
"Uh, guys? It's 11:30," Mitch says. We all look at each other and run from spawn. The mutts are going to be here in a very short amount of time.
"Where do we go?" Skyler asks.
"Um, that mountain. It should be safe from mutts for now," I say. We climb the mountain quickly and arrive at the top just as 12 o' clock strikes.
Pink pigmen with golden swords spawn, some of their bones exposed and some of their flesh beginning to rot.
"There they are. The mutts," I breathe. Mitch and Skyler both nod.
We stand on the mountain for a bit, watching spawn. Suddenly, the pigs go crazy and begin squealing. Apparently, someone didn't get the memo and came to spawn.
Tiffany and Dina. But Jason isn't with them. I look over at Skyler. She seems to have noticed that as well.
"Do you think... that was his cannon this morning?" she asks in a shaky voice.
I sigh and shake my head.
"I'm sorry," Mitch says. She nods.
"He's in a better place now."
"Oh my gosh!" I exclaim, looking back at spawn. The pigs are attacking Tiffany and Dina. They're screaming as they get slashed over and over again by the pig's swords.
"Guys..." Skyler says. Her back is facing spawn. Mitch and I turn to look at where she's looking.
There are pigs climbing the mountain.
They've seen us.
