Christina had just caught sight of her significant other when the announcement was broadcasted.
"Let the Hunger Games begin!" It boomed.
Christina immediately darted away from the cornucopia; it wasn't worth her life to get her hands on a weapon. But it was, she decided, worth her life to keep Will safe. She was a Dauntless in a strange land, but Dauntless all the same; Risking her life was nothing new.
Quickly locating the boy who ventured into this arena with her, she screamed, "Will!" And she ran in his direction.
"What do we do?" He asked as Christina took a tight hold on his wrist to stay close.
"So far as we know... well... we don't. I really think it would help if we had a weapon, but a lot of people want to kill us," Christina replied.
"Let's do it. We have each other, and will protect each other," he reassured her.
All of the bloodshed around her did not bother her, for she was intent on retrieving the gleaming silver knives waiting right at the mouth of the Cornucopia. So close, just in reach, and her determination got the best of her.
The couple sprinted to the deadly, gleaming weapons that were supposed to be waiting for them. But not a trace of the knives remained when they arrived, and there were not many more weapons that either of them knew how to use.
Contemplating her choices, her thoughts were only interrupted by Will's cry of, "Christina! We have to get out of here!"
Oblivious to having let go of Will's hand, she was startled enough to take it back. She heard a scream from behind her, from the attacker. Then another outcry of pain from Will, having been attacked by a girl with a face raging with a maniacal anger, and hair in a light color. She was elderly, no doubt; this did not limit her agility, however.
And what she didn't see coming was the axe, and a brunette from behind. The last thing she heard was the cannon marking the death of Will, whose hand was still clutched tightly in her own as the cannon marking her death pierced the air.
