AN: It's the end! Yes, I know its been a while. Don't stare at me like that. Just read the chapter.
Mackenzie Doom (FD2)
I scramble up to my knees as the mutt explodes into ashes. I'm taking in shaky breaths just as the lava pours in.
As if I needed anything else. I know I can't stop to catch my breath or else I will die. And I can't die now - I'm too close to the end. Too close to my family.
I begin to run up the stairs. The lava sloshes behind me, bubbling and oozing. I'm halfway up when the wall on my left crumbles to pieces. I scream and collapse on my stair. Behind the wreckage I see that girl from Eleven scrambling up the stairs. The lava's sloshes are getting louder, and I know that I'm running out of time.
I set up a rhythm in my head. Left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right... The stairs seem to go on forever, and my body aches of exhaustion. I know I can't stop...I can't stop...
To my left, Cher grunts in pain. I don't blame her. The pain is too great...the fatigue...
How can I end this? Killing Cher? How can I end the life of an innocent, twelve year-old girl? Maybe just like how I ended Max's? And Tara's?
My hand shakily is going to my knife as I continue to climb the stairs. My mind is conflicted; should I kill her, or should I be honorable and fight for the death?
But the prize...my family...it's so close...
I find myself whipping out my knife. Letting out a defiant yell, I toss the knife straight at Cher. She only has time to look up and yelp with surprise as the knife hurtles towards her heart.
Kaplunk. Cher falls backwards into the lava. That's when the real torture begins.
Her screams are terrifying. I can only continue to trek up the stairs as Cher's body sizzles and burns. What did I do...what did I do...what did I do...
That's the only thing I'm focusing on as the announcement comes on, and the hovercraft appears over my head. My mind is fuzzy as I am frozen in place.
I won.
But is that really all that matters?
Woohoo! Sorry about the updating late thingy...I'm slow. And a procrastinator.
Any ways, expect the sequel, The Hunger Royale, soon. Coming soon to theaters. Batteries not included.
