#jules9

Jamie and Jules are in the furthest part of the cornucopia and the blizzard is getting stronger every hour and Jamie starts to shiver more frequently as he had tore up his own coat to make some sort of bandage for his arm. Jules offers for them to share hers and they both sit very close together, so there is no space separating them. The pair finishes off Jules’s last piece of bread but their stomachs still grumbles.

Jamie offers to look for some food and Jules offers for him to take her jacket which he accepts without hesitation. While looking for food, Jamie finds a small rock that just manages to fit in the jacket’s pocket.  After ten minutes of walking, he managed to find some plants that he recognized from training. He smiled to himself as he picked the edible plants and brought them back to Jules.

Jules was trying to figure out how to cook the plant, or even make a meal out of them when Jamie hit her over the head, hard, with the rock that he had found. It had knocked her out. Jamie drags her to the edge of the lake that surrounds the cornucopia and gently kisses her on the forehead.

“I didn’t want it to come down to you and me,” he said as he kisses her again.

He quickly snaps her neck and pushes her into the lake.

Krissi is the district three tribute that had been keeping a low profile. When a cannon had fired, like many other tributes, she looked up to the sky to see if her district partner had fallen. No, it was the girl from district ten. That district had no tributes left, like districts four, five and six. The ground had violently started to shake again, and she curled herself into the foetus position, terrified at what was to come. It stopped in a matter of seconds and she looked to see that the lakes had returned to their normal size and the creatures from the water had seemed to have gone. She ran to the cornucopia. There Jules, the tribute from district nine, had spotted her. They both ran at each other with record speed and then Jules had punched her right in the jaw, making her fall to the ground. Jules pulls her up and then quickly snaps her neck and then returns to tend to her district partner.

Jules starts to feel the ground shaking and cracking beneath her feet. She goes to grab her supplies and gets them, but just about misses the shark that had jumped up to get her.

She shrieks, and with her supplies in hand, she quickly scoots backwards, heavily panting at the monsters that were lurking in the water.

Jamie, her district partner, is too close to the edge when the sharks start to circle near him. She runs to his aid, risking her own life as she does so, and pulls him back from the edge. Jules shudders as she stares into the water to see the dark shapes of the sharks lurking at the edge.

“We could try and make it,” Jamie says, still gripping his broken arm.

She thinks for a moment but shakes her head, “Your arm is no state for physical activity.”

Jamie and Jules are still at the cornucopia and Jamie is nearly in tears as Jules evaluates the severity of the broken arm. Jamie took off his precious jacket, which was intended to keep him warm, and cut it into various pieces to make some sort of bandage.

“Jamie,” Jules shouted, “that’s to keep you warm! What are you going to do if there is a snow storm?"

“I don’t know but my arm bloody hurts!” Jamie snapped.

Jules and Jamie, the district nine tributes, are in the mountains finishing a loaf of bread when the tremors of the mountain nearly knock them over.

“What was that?” Jules says to Jamie, “Maybe we should get out of the mountain?”

With that the tremors had become more violent, so much so that Jamie had been knocked over. He fell hard on some jagged rock with the sound of a vicious crack.

Jules pulled her up and the two ran off the mountains and got to the river bank.

“The cornucopia is our best shot,” Jules says.

She doesn’t have time to wait and she dives into the water separating her and the cornucopia. She swims with record speed and reaches the other side. Jamie is swimming across too but at a much slower speed.

When Jamie finally makes it across the pair run inside the cornucopia. The head takes them by surprise as the metal has been sitting in the sun all day.

They finally rest and Jules tries to see what damage had been done.

Jamie Spicer Lewis is next and is shivering and rubbing her hands to keep himself warm but hardly manages it. He goes looking for a small cave but does not find anything so he goes into the fetal position to let the heat spread across his body.

Once Jamie is warm enough, he starts walking across the snowy mountains. He can hear Courtney and Dasha talking. He hesitates as he is itching to steal one of their spears but he is outnumbered so leaves it. Before Dasha or Courtney can notice him, Jamie makes his move away from the snowy mountains where he can see his district partner Jules. Although Courtney was a part of his original allies, he decides that the two armed tributes are best left alone.

Jules carefully approaches the frozen lakes, testing the ice to see if it would hold her weight. Thankfully it does so she slides her feet along the ice, wishing that she had a pair of ice skates like Oliver from district one. When she is around the bend, she gets on the land and tries to hide her location from the other tributes.

Jules sits down on a rock that sticks out of the ice and says thanks to someone for the bread and the thick woolen socks that she managed to grab at the cornucopia. Jules does the very clever thing of unzipping her coat and tucking the bread in, holding it close to her body so it does not freeze and then slides the socks onto her hands.
