Day Seven: Screams

Acacia "Ace" March POV (District Seven)

The gamemakers must think that rain helps add a dramatic effect to the games, because it's still pouring. I'm hunting throughout the rain, searching for Aden or Beth. I can kill them both with one blow. I received a new axe from my sponsoring a little while ago, and it will probably be my last gift for the rest of the games. When it reaches the final two, tributes receive no more sponsor gifts.

I see a figure moving up ahead of me. I race forward, jumping over rocks and slipping on a few. I'm gaining on the figure now, who turns out to be Beth Bray. I fall forward but catch myself. I hold onto my axe tighter and swing. Beth must have seen me swinging, as she screams and falls to the ground. I stand up and swing the axe over my head. She rolls out of the way in time and down the mountain. I pull my axe out of the ground and race after her tumbling figure.

Aden Starr POV (District Ten)

Someone has just screamed. I can hear more screams coming from the conricupa. Ace and Beth are battling down there. Only one will make it out of that battle. Then it will be two of us. The games will be ending today or tomorrow. I grab my new sword that was sent and head down towards the Cornucopia, ready to end this once and for all.

Bethany "Beth" Bray POV (District Four)

Ace and I are rolling around on the ground, both fighting for the top position. She dropped her axe a little while back. Now I'm just fighting to get on top so I can run away. I need a knife to win this battle. Ace can beat me at hand to hand combat.

Ace gets on top of me and throws a punch. I'm lucky I receive medicine a little awhile ago for my wounds from my battle with Skye. I throw Ace off of me and she rolls off to the side a little bit. She lands by her axe and rips it out of the ground. I grab a knife off my belt. I stand up and ready myself in a fighting position.

"Bring it." I say.

Ace charges at me so quickly that if I blinked I would have died. I duck and stab her in the leg. She stumbles back a bit but charges forward again. She swings and her axe grazes my arm. I can feel the blade cut open my skin. I scream and fall down. A tiny cut like that…oh how it hurts. I scream again as pain rockets up and down my arm. I scream and arch my back. The pain is spreading all throughout my body now Ace looms over me.

"That pain you're feeling Beth? That's poison. Found some plants that turns out are super deadly. Watched a couple wolves die just by biting one tiny leaf of the plant. I was able to safely remove some of that poison and use it on the blade of my baby." Ace takes a moment to examine her axe. "Beautiful, isn't it?" Ace leans down a little towards me. I scream again as I feel the poison make it way into my leg. "Do you want me to end it now? I think the audience is loving this, don't you? Nobody has screamed like that for the entire time we have been in here." Ave brings her axe by my wounded arm and cuts a small line. I feel the blood dripping down and the poison seeping its way into my skin. I scream in agony at the fiery sensation inside of me.

Ace stands up from me and backs away. "You're going to die, and the audience wants a show. Enjoy it while you can Beth. Oh, and I will tell your brother, what's his name, Zack? It doesn't matter. But I will make sure to tell him how you begged for death. How weak you were. Have fun dying"

Even though this agony and the pounding rain, I can hear Ace's manic laughter as she leaves the conricupa. I scream again as the poison makes its way into my toes. Now both my arms and legs are on fire. The pain is going back up my legs and is going to make its way into my torso. From there, it will probably make its way to my heart. And with that, the poison will be the death of me.

Even though my hand is on fire, I can feel someone squeezing it. I turn my head a little to see Aden Starr's grass green eyes staring at me. He's probably going to end it now for me. Thank God. But before he does that, I need him to something for me.

"Aden." I say.

"Don't worry Beth. I'm here."

"I need you to do something for me."

"Tell me."

"Kill Ace. I'm not going to live through this. But you need to tell Skye Windell's sister, Glade…" I scream again as the poison makes it way into my stomach. "Tell Glade that Skye loves her. I told Skye I would do it, but I'm going to die. Please, do it for Skye and me?"

"I will do all that and more."

"And tell my brother Zack." I scream again. My body arches into the air from the pain. It's making its way quickly up to my lungs. "Tell Zack I love him most in this world."

For a moment, I see Zack instead of Aden. That smiling fourteen year old boy who loves life and the beach. That fourteen year old boy who has the same hazel eyes as mine. That fourteen year old boy who could break through my sarcastic barrier. Zack, the only person I love.

That's the last thing I see. My brother's smiling face before the darkness takes me.
