Lillian picked herself up off of the stone floor, she wiped the tear trails that raced down her cheeks.
"This needs to end." She said to herself angrily.
She had done nothing but cry for the past few days, but that wasn't going to help her with anything.
With a sniffle, Lillian gripped the handle of her ax and swung her pack over her shoulder. She had made up her mind... she needed to get revenge and she didn't care if she died in the process.
She began running down the long hallway back to the Cornucopia, where the two remaining Careers sit.
Several long, impatient minutes pass by before Lillian finally reaches the exit of the hallway and into the room holding the gigantic golden horn.
Beginning the plan, she had thought of on her way to the Cornucopia, she grabbed the hunting knife Cedar had given to her on the First Day.
She gripped the knife by the blade, she narrowed her eyes on her target which was the entrance to the exit directly across from her. If everything runs smoothly as she planned, Wonder would leave Lavender to watch the supplies as he goes to investigate.
Lillian takes a deep breath while cocking her arm back, quickly and instantly she lunges forward and flings the knife towards the exits entrance.
The knife soars through the air with fascinating speed.
Lillian crosses her finger and closes her eyes for a quick second, hoping the knife makes it's way to the target.
At the sound of a clatter, Lillian's eyes immediately open. A smirk forms across her face, the knife flew through the entrance of the other opening and clattered to the floor several feet from the entry way.
Lillian's eyes dart from the knife to the two tributes sitting in the mouth of the Cornucopia. To her expectations, Wonder's head whips around to the direction the noise came from.
"Stay here, I'm gonna go check that out." Lillian over hears Wonder saying to Lavender.
Lavender's eyes shift from the direction she was looking in to Wonder's, "Okay, be safe." she mumbles.
Wonder grabs his spear and jolts towards and through the exit, running through several hallways. Chasing someone that's not there.
Now is the time.
Lillian burrows her eyebrows at Lavender, who is sitting upon a crate in the entrance to the Cornucopia.
With a deep, deep breath, Lillian gets into a running position before sprinting towards the unsuspecting tribute, Lavender.
Reaching several feet from the District Two girl, Lavender turns towards Lillian's direction and is stunned with surprise.
Lillian lunges herself at Lavender, grabbing her by the hair and pull her body off of the crate and down towards the ground.
Adrenaline pulses through Lillian's body, she couldn't feel the pain of hitting the hard cobblestone ground one bit... she was focused on one thing only.
Lavender moaned while trying to pick herself up off of the ground.
"Where do you think you're going?" Lillian questioned her forcefully, she felt no sympathy for this girl.
Lavender didn't respond, instead she slowly began grabbing a knife from her vest, but was quickly put to a halt the moment Lillian kicked her foot into Lavender's stomach with force.
The Career girl coughed violently.
"Trying to stab me? Oh, I don't think so." Lillian said, taunting her.
Lillian raised her right leg and brought it down hard onto Lavender's hand and wrist, causing her to release the knife.
"Not so big and bad are you?" Lillian commented.
She crouched down towards the girl and grabbed a handful of hair, "You killed him!" she shouted at Lavender, her face turning red with anger.
A single tear rolled down from Lavender's eye, she's struggling with talking.
"All the dreams we had! They're all ruined!" She yelled at the crippled girl, blaming her for something she didn't do... it was really the Capitol's fault but right now she needed someone to blame it on.
Lavender's hazel eyes focused into Lillian's, "I-I'm sorry." she responded sympathetically.
In that moment Lillian realized that Lavender wasn't being sarcastic about her apology... she wasn't a bad person at all. She just killed to get home.
Lillian sort of felt bad for the girl, but that wasn't going to stop her... she needed to get home to PJ.
"I'm sorry too." Lillian simply responded.
With that said, Lillian clutched the handle of her ax and raised it above her head.
Lavender's eyes widened and starred at the ax that was about to plunge into her body.
"Wo-Wonder!" she shouted out frantically, she didn't want to die.
With immense force, Lillian swung the ax down towards Lavender's body.
The ax plunged into her chest, breaking several ribs on it's way in.
Lavender screamed in pain, "Wonder!" she called out again but you could tell she was obviously having trouble talking.
"I'm coming!" A masculine voice shouted back, coming closer and closer from one of the exits.
Lillian quickly yanked her ax out of Lavender's chest and ran off into one of the exits. She knows Lavender will die soon from blood loss.
Wonder raced around the mouth of the Cornucopia just as Lillian ran into one of the many exits.
His eyes scanned the space ahead of him before they focused on the female figure laying out in front of a crate.
He immediately ran towards the beat up body of his ally that appears beaten up and lying in a pool of her own blood.
Lavender's eyes shifted from the ceiling to the boy hovering over her. Her vision was beginning to become blurry.
Wonder kneeled down next to her, he grabbed her hand and looked into her eyes. Both of their eyes came in contact with one another.
"Who did this to you?" he questioned her, his voice cracked a bit as if he was crying but he wasn't. He was holding it back, he cared for Lavender but he must stay strong right now.
Lavender didn't respond, she couldn't focus on that right now, instead she continued to breath heavily.
Wonder leaned in closer to her, "Lavender, don't give up on me! Please, you are so close to the finale!" he had originally planned on having her get back home safe to her family.
A slight smile came across Lavender's face and a tear fell down her cheek. Her eyes moved from his then went back.
"I'm not giv-ving u-up" she began, more tears streamed down her face, she shifted her head towards his, "I guess I was just not good enou-enough." she added.
Wonder gripped her hand harder, he wasn't going to leave her side, "No..no. no. no. You are, you are way more than good enough! You can make it to the end!" he tried to reassure her but it's futile, she knew her time was coming up fast.
The smile reappeared on her face, "I'm a supernova" she stated, Wonder looked at her in confusion, "I burn bright and die young." she finished.
With a long, painfilled moan, Lavender used her free hand to grip at her chest where the wound is.
"Goodbye." She whispered to Wonder.
Lavender laid her head down on the stone ground and closed her eyes. Wonder looked around at her body frantically.
BOOM.
Lavender's canon boomed throughout the arena.
Wonder stared at her for several seconds before releasing his grip on her hand. He pushed the baby hairs that clinged onto her face and kissed her forehead gently.
"Goodbye." He whispered back.
He grabbed his spear and walked back towards the entrance of the Cornucopia.
Review Questions and Author Note:
1. Surprised at the death?
2. Guesses on who you think will die in the Finale?
3. Guesses on a victor?
4. Overall thought on chapter?
So hey guys, we are so close to the end! After this chapter we will have the finale, where a victor shall be crowned, and then the Victor's Tour (still deciding if I wanna do it though)... I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter! Also, I feel like I made Wonder really squishy in this chapter but I kind of think it fit him... like although he is a Career and they're ruthless, it shows that they do have soft-sides like a normal human being rather than a robot only focused on destruction...

Lavender Florus: OH LAVENDER! She is one of my favorite tributes and characters that I have made up ever! It's so sad that I had to kill her off, because if I didn't that'd seen pretty biased and I don't want it to come off that way. I will miss writing about her so much. Also, I am glad a lot of you liked and were rooting for her! Thank you all so much! :D
