94Chapter 5
Last Time:
Across the river, Stevie and Hugh see the fallen tree has collapsed and there is no way to get across the river to where Alex, Katniss and Rue are. Stevie groans and begins to pace.
"Since we can't get across how the hell can we help them!" Stevie picks up a rock and throws it across the river. But the unthinkable happens. The rock comes flying back and lands at Stevie's feet smoking and black, "What the heck?"
"There's a forcefield." Stevie and Hugh both jump and turn to see Justin and Juliet.
"How can we get over there to help them?" Hugh asks.
"We can't. It's up to them. All we can do is sit and wait." Justin answers, "And pray that they will make it out alive. I have a feeling this is a trap."
Now:
Alex opens her tired eyes and sees a fire on her right.
"I swear if this is a trap I will go ballistic." Alex hears Katniss' voice.
"I know. I would too." Alex hears Rue's soft voice.
"Is Ally going to be ok?"
"Yes she will be Kat. She should be waking up right about now, since it has been three days."
"Ok." Alex turns her head to see Katniss and Rue sitting on a log next to her. Alex groans feeling pain shoot through her body.
"Oh look who is awake." Alex looks at Rue to see her teasing smile, "How is your head?"
"Sore." Alex mutters as Rue and Katniss kneels down next to her after getting off the log, and helps her to sit up.
"Well you did lose a lot of blood and hit your head pretty hard."
"No duh." Alex answers sarcastically, "Why did you follow me? It's obvious that Snow, Crumbs and the wizard council want me dead. You guys could be out of this hell hole if you both let me die."
"Alex don't you get it? We are YOUR best friends and you are our sister. We have your back and if protect you and save you at whatever cost." Katniss asks, "We are all in this together."
Alex looks Katniss and Rue in the eye to see they are speaking the truth. They will always be there at whatever cost.
"I love you guys."
"We love you too." Katniss and Rue pulls Alex into a gentle hug and don't let her go.
~K&A~
Over the next few days nothing happened. All that happened was Alex, Katniss and Rue are on the move as Justin, Hugh, Juliet and Stevie hunted for food but all stayed together.
Alex leads Rue and Katniss to a spot that she knows all too well to see Crumbs and Snow fast asleep in their sleeping bags. Alex looks around to see cameras set up around them. She looks over her shoulder and signals for Rue and Katniss to come quietly, since they are a good fifty feet behind her.
As Alex turns around, she gets the air knocked out of her. She looks up to see Crumbs holding a knife to her throat and Snow has a grenade in his hand.
"KAT! RUE! DON'T MOVE!" Alex screams at Katniss and Rue. She looks to see that Katniss has her bow loaded and they stopped moving.
"What good little slaves you have Alex." Snow smirks.
"Shut the hell up Snow. All you are is a freaking murderer and don't know how to play a game of tie-tac-toe." Alex snaps, "Now why don't you just kill me? You had so many chances."
Alex secretly pulls out her dagger that she buried her first time in the arena and stabs Crumbs in the neck. She pulls it out as Crumbs falls to the ground dead. She gets up as Snow pulls the tab of the grenade and throws it at her. Alex dives behind the bushes next to her and rolls down the ditch as it goes off. She covers her head as the debris falls on top of her.
Before Alex to get up she feels a sharp object dig into her side, thankfully not near any organs that could kill her.
She lets out a scream and hears Katniss' and Rue's running feet.
"I'm going to kill you now. Does that sound good?" Alex hears Snow speak.
"Then do it." Alex answers as Snow pulls her head back by her hair. Alex clenches her jaw as Snow pulls out the object from her side. He holds it to her throat before dragging it along her neck, breaking the skin and leaving a long line of blood.
"Fine then." Alex could hear his smirk as he stabs her in the back. Alex hits the ground and hears a thud beside her. She turns her head to see Snow on the ground with an arrow between his eyes.
She hears two cannons go off and looks at the sky to see only Crumbs' and Snow's pictures.
"Thank gosh." Alex hears Rue whisper before they run down into the ditch to her.
"Ok Ally. We need to pull this out." Katniss informs her.
"Do it." Alex groans. Not even a second later, Katniss pulls out the knife and Rue quickly stops the bleeding.
This is going to be a long night. Alex thinks before fainting.
~A&K~
Alex opens her eyes to discover that she is in a hospital.
"Where am I?" Alex asks to no one.
"Capitol hospital." Alex looks to her left to see Justin.
"It's over?" Alex asks hopeful.
"Yes. And the council said they weren't surprised that we thought they would be working with Crumbs. After being loyal to him all these years it's understandable."
"What's going to happen now?"
"Just live our lives as normal as we can. It will be hard but we will be able to do it Ally."
"I know." Alex smiles, "When can I get out of here?"
"Tomorrow."
Alex groans and before she could complain a nurse walks in and gives her sleeping pills.
At least it's all over now. Alex thinks before falling asleep.
All is well and The Hunger Games will never exist ever again.
