*One hour back*
'JOHANNA GET BACK' Percy cried.
But Johanna stayed rigid, her heart thumping; the girl with the snarky remarks had vanished. Leaving the woman who had come to district 13; Terrified, alone, weak, broken.
Finally Johanna came to her senses and stumbled backwards, surely, Snow having no weapon would simply just die. But oh, she was wrong.
'Percy' the man smiled. 'Percy, my boy, look at me in the eyes.'
Percy hesitated, riptide unleashed in it's full glory and pointed under Snow's chin, Percy's eyes travelled to Snow's
'PERCY, NO!' Johanna cried
'Percy, why don't you trust me? Johanna is the one not to trust, look at her, with her axe and snide comments. LOOK AT HER'
Percy turned, his eyes glazed, Percy shook his head at her 'You're right, Johanna must be the one to be eliminated.'
'Yes Percy' smiled Snow
The two were edging on Johanna, who looked back to see a river about twenty feet away. No, she thought, anything but that. Memories rushed in of her time in the capitol, the electrocutions. No, please.
Percy dropped his weapon and stood beside Snow, together they joined on chorus
'Panem today, Panem tomorrow, Panem forever' they grinned, gaining on Johanna.
'Percy please, he's got you in a trance, we need to kill him...' Johanna wracked her brain, what could get Percy from the trance? 'CAMP HALF BLOOD! Uh...GROVER!' Johanna shouted, she had nearly reached the river 'JASON..HAZEL...ANNABETH! PERCY, ANNABETH'
Percy's eyes went wide and he shook his head 'Annabeth?' he mumbled
'YES, PERCY ANNABETH! SNOW WILL KILL YOU AND YOU WON'T SEE ANNABETH AGAIN. ANNABETH PERCY, ANNABETH' Johanna shrieked
'Percy, no. Remember who the real enemy is' Snow growled
'Yes' Percy replied stiffly
'Good, and who might that be?'
'You' he mumbled, before slashing riptide in an arc and cutting Snow's arm, who cried in anguish before a sly look crept upon his face, his eyes snapped to Johanna, who was shaking.
He grabbed Johanna and pried her axe from her grasp, holding her in a headlock, her axe pointed at her neck.
'Do it Percy, kill me. Your fatal flaw is Loyalty right? Do it, betray yourself. That way YOU kill Johanna. YOU. Could you do that Percy? COULD YOU?' Snow shouted, digging the axe into Johanna's skin, who shrieked, trying to free herself from the man's grasp, shouting a flurry of curses along the way.
Percy hesitated, before nodding and dropping Riptide to the ground.
'PERCY N-'Johanna cried, but her shout turned into a scream as the axe dug in more, drawing a trickle of blood.
'Good lad Percy' Snow grinned
'Let her go' whispered the demigod.
'I suppose I should' he smiled 'But I won't'
And with that Snow slit Johanna's throat, before throwing her into the river. The last thing Johanna saw beneath the murky depths of water was the body of Snow falling to the ground, Percy triumphant above him.
Johanna sank, never to return.
