Hayley Inchcape's Pov:
I was having a hard time sleeping, the feast was tomorrow and Rowan and I had pretty much everything we needed but we decided to grab our bags anyway and get an advantage. It's been quiet since Tyler died and every couple hours or so one of us would cry over him. In the middle of trying to get to sleep I heard a beeping noise. I sit up and see a silver ball with a parachute near the entrance of the bushes. I go over to it, grab it, and open it. Inside were two throwing knives, both were shiny and made of medal. I picked one up and it was so light, it was perfect for long distance and good aim. Inside was a note "Make each knife count – Tigergirl22" is what it said. I had no idea who this girl was but she must be rooting for me to win. I actually had people rooting for me. The thought made me smile a little bit, I put the knives into my belt and I lay down finally able to fall asleep.
Sagittaria Evening's Pov:
I slept through the night pretty well; I was staying right near the bridge in some tall grass to spy on the careers and find out what they were going to do about the feast. From what I heard and saw they were going to go to the edge of Magma Island and wait for other tributes to come to the feast before they attacked. It was early morning, the sun was just coming up and the table for the feast, with all the bags on top, rose out of the ground. The careers took their bags and started walking towards Magma Island. This was my only chance; I had to get in there and get out before they would turn around and see me. They were about 10ft from the bridge and I risked it, leaving my bow and arrows in the plains so I would run faster, I sprinted as fast as I could to the feast. I reached my bag right when they were reaching the end of the bridge. I turned and ran so hard that my chest started hurting from my heavy breathing. I was just reaching the Safari Plains Bridge when I heard Shay scream at the top of her lungs. She saw me, I didn't stop, and I grabbed my bow and arrows and ran about 50ft inside the plains. I slump down to the ground, try to catch my breath and take a quick swig of my water. I open my bag wondering what was inside. There were two arrows, they looked the same as my sponsor arrows but these ones had two red, circular jewels in each side of them. I was still a little confused until I started thinking about last years games. These were explosive arrows! I might actually have a chance to win this now! I crept quietly back towards the bridge to see what would be happening today.
Shay Hunter's Pov:
That little bitch snuck in and took her bag! I plan on making her death slow and painful with my new golden axe that I found in my bag, Rory got a new golden sword. The capitol must think we really are a couple and wanted to give us matching weapons. I really am one the smartest careers in history! Too bad Rory won't figure this out till it's too late. We sit there waiting for the alliance from Plush Meadows to come out. It was probably a good few hours before we saw the Rowan boy run out in a full sprint to collect his bag. Rory and I made a mad dash for him knowing we could cut him off before he could get back to the bridge. BOOM! We heard in the distance, we didn't know who that was but Rowan seemed to slow down a bit after he heard it. He grabbed two bags; he must still be in an alliance but wanted to come out her on his own. He turns around and sees us blocking his path. He puts both bags on his back and charges right at us with his axes up. So far two people have done that and both died without a fight happening. Rowan stops about 10ft in front of us and smiles? A second of confusion until Rory falls to his knees howling in pain, Rowan takes this opportunity and runs as fast as he can around us to the bridge, on the bridge is the bitch I tried to kill in the bloodbath standing there with a knife in her hand. She just injured my protector and I was pissed! "Shay please help me," Rory pleads with a knife sticking out of his back, it went in pretty deep and he was bleeding pretty fast. I smile at him and walk towards him, " You're really hurt Rory, you wont be able to fight anymore, That means I no longer need you around," I say.
"I thought you loved me?" He says with a few tears forming in his eyes.
"Love is for the stupid, the blind, the weak. I don't love you, I used you!" I say to him laughing.
"I'm sorry for this then Shay," is all I hear before I feel his sword go through my chest.
I fall down to the ground, blood pouring out of my mouth, I was too distracted thinking how much of a genius I was to realize he picked up his sword and aimed it right at me. I should have killed him right after he asked for help but no had to gloat. I was going to win these games. I was going to go home a proud victor. The key word there is was. I lay on the ground dying with Rory next me, I pick up my axe for last swing and take off his head before I'm flooded into darkness.
Rowan Lightfoot's Pov:
We get back to camp to find Fern's body gone, that original cannon must have been for her and we just heard two more. One of the careers is dead for show but I don't know who the other person is. It was just me and Hayley now and all I could think about was if we were the final two, I would be killing myself so she could go home. I know I could die happily if I did that but like everybody else, I still didn't want to die. Hayley pulls a knife out of her bag with a button on it. The button, when pushed, makes the blade become engulfed in flames and she stares at it with such passion. She knows this weapon will help her win. Inside my bag I find two axes like mine except they are completely silver. There doesn't seem to be any type of special thing about them but Hayley comes over and asks for them. I hand them over and at the bottom of both handles she moves a little gear sticking out the sides. The axes turn into double sided axes, and I smile with glee. I now had better one on one fighting chance and could change them back for throwing them. Hayley and I had pretty good chances but it also depends on what the last person got in their bag. We don't want to go find the last person today, so we will wait for tomorrow after a full nights rest and some food. In the sky the anthem plays and two faces appear, we are both surprised to see Shay and Rory up there. Must have been some lovers quarrel after we retreated back into the woods. So now It was us and the girl from 12. I can't actually believe this even though I have said it 1000 times. I am in the final three and I have a chance of winning if Hayley dies and I live. But I'm really hoping that doesn't happen.
Sorry Shay and Rory :'( I actually really liked Shay and how she was so heartless and manipulating. But she was too confident and it got herself killed in the end.
