A/N: Last chapter! I'll post the next story soon!
Chapter 21
"So it is down to you, and it is down to me. You have to get home to your little girlfriend. I have to get home to my friends and family. So let's get this over with," the girl from 10 says. She takes out a knife. Rory pulls an arrow out of his quiver.
"So this is how it ends?" he asks himself, just loud enough for the cameras to pick it up.
"It can't be," Prim murmurs.
Rory shoots, but only hits the girl's arm. She throws her knife, but Rory ducks. It barely misses him. She pulls out her sword. She advances towards him. She slashes. Rory's leg is bleeding. Rory runs to the Cornucopia. He climbs to the top to address his wound. His leg isn't bleeding so badly. She barely cut him. Rory's breathing steadies and he climbs down the Cornucopia, where the girl is waiting for him.
"I need to go home," the girl says.
"I don't want to do this," Rory says, pointing his weapon to the girl.
"Then don't," she says.
"I have to," he says, tears in his eyes.
"That's the thing, isn't it? Everyone has to die in the end. Everyone has a reason to live. Not all are recognized, though," the girl says. "So shoot."
"I'm sorry," Rory says and shoots.
The girl collapses. Rory rushes to her side. "Adeline. Adeline Park. That's my name. I didn't want to die as an unnamed tribute," Adeline smiles. Then, she dies. Her cannon booms.
Rory holds her until the hovercraft picks her up. The hovercraft waits for him, but before he boards it, he yells, "She was more than a tribute! She was a person! She had a soul! You, the Capitol, killed her! You're monsters!"
"No," Haymitch moans. He then yells, "Come on, guys! He's not the important one, but we'll work to get him out!"
All of the mentors board one hovercraft. I hold Prim. "Does the Capitol have Rory?" she asks.
"I don't know. But if they do, we will fight to get him back," I reassure her.
