Chapter 21: The Fight
When we wake up, I decide head out to find some water. I let Coal rest and grab my pack, heading out.
I trek through the empty field. I think it rained quite a bit last night, because my sneakers leave mushy tracks behind. I find a rock to sit on , but it feels odd and... loose. I get up and grab a large branch from behind me and force the rock over. Underneath the rock is a small hole. The hole holds water, and lots of it! I test it out to make sure it isn't salt water, then fill the canteens up and put a little drop of iodine in each one. I drink a little bit, because I am dehydrated, but then fill it to the brim once more. When I put the canteens back into the pack, I hear a loud BOOM! Scared, I run in a random direction, but before I do, I plant the extra tracker under the rock, so we can come back. I pull out my tracker device and scream into the speakers, "ARE YOU GUYS OKAY?". Five seconds later, I get a response. Its Max. He says that they are fine. I gasp in relief and slow down, to a complete stop. I realize that I am by the ring of water we started by. Inside the cornucopia sits Sparrow and her cousin. You know, the guy who I dreamed of. I think his name was Shawn. Shawn spots me briefly and points at me. "HEY!" He yells. My eyes widen as I run. Both start to chase me, and sooner or later, we are at a ledge.
I almost skid over but stop myself. I turn around and run at Shawn, growling. I jump on him, and pin his arm to his back. I let go and bury my dagger into his left arm. It just slows him down, but Sparrow tackles me. I grunt and take my hair tie off. I grab her wrists and shove the tie onto her, knotting it so tight that she can't move her wrists, and her wrists begin to become pale. I then run over to Shawn and kick him to the ledge. I don't see it, but when I am about to shove him, Sparrow grabs the back of my shirt and pulls me backwards. She yanks her axe out and punctures my hip. I groan in pain as the blood leaks out, but I do not stop fighting. I shove her to the ground.
I spot the chewed hair tie on the ground and kick it away from me. I then take my knife and shove it into her calf. She clutches it in pain as I walk back to Shawn, who is coughing blood. He heavily gets up and sniffs. He walk past me and faces me from afar. He holds an axe. I smirk. Then, he starts to run. He runs very fast. I am very dizzy and I am losing blood quickly, but with all the strength I can muster, I duck down just as he jumps up. When he lands had on the ground, I limp over to him and kick him off the edge. He falls, but grabs the edge of the land, begging and crying. I pant heavily, and say, "Feel my pain," as I finally push him off into the ravine, for good. His shouts fill the air as he falls into the pit, followed by a cannon. I pant and turn around, but Sparrow is gone. She left a trail of blood behind, but I don't bother to follow it. I gasp and pull out the device and wheeze out, "Come get me. I can't walk. I'm by the ravine."
I pass out just on time, right after the message was sent.
