Finale

Hans knew he had to do whatever it took to survive.

He didn´t care anymore about what he should do to win. It didn´t bother him anymore. He had to do what he had to. And he was ready

Logan, on the other hand, was angry. His foot had been stumped by Maurie, and now he couldn´t move very well. But he still could.

And that´s what mattered.

Even though in Day Nine they were near the other, none of them encountered the other. Logan went west and Hans went south, from where he had come from. Even though both of them wanted this to end, none of them knew how to do it. Neither of them felt prepared to the final battle, and so they wandered for three days.

On the first, Logan saw again his previous camps. Where he had killed Athos, and now blood remained. Now, he wasn´t sure he was the one to kill Aisha. Had it been truly him who had killed Aisha? Had he been her true murderer?

Had he done the right thing?

On the second, Hans found the cabin where the event happened again. He saw it, all the blood, splattered through the floor. He thought and how this was surely gonna either become a museum, if he got out and did something about it… or probably a resort to people to go on vacations if they died.

He couldn´t let that happen. Not for Mercy´s or Xander´s memory. Not for himself. Not for Akira.

Not for anyone.

On the third day, the capitol got bored.

And when they get bored, they do something about it.

Like something with tigers maybe.

"YES!" Said a capitol small child, as tigers chased Hans and Logan with only one purpose.

A very obvious purpose, even for that child.

Death was incoming

Hans ran for all his life. He wanted to live. He wanted to do anything in his power to be someone else, to be let live a life that he would have if he got out. Maybe he would get married with a man, or a woman, someone who didn´t want children. He never wasn´t attracted to people his age. It is just that his sexual thoughts were deviant.

And he needed to prove himself that he was more than that.

Meanwhile, Logan, after unsuccessfully trying to get rid of the tigers by himself, had started running for his life. If he was gonna die this way, he wanted to say something.

That he was sorry. That he didn´t mean to do all the things he did. That he shouldn´t have killed Athos, because if he didn´t he would be helping him here getting rid of the last tribute. Someone he couldn´t believe had gotten so far. He was a nobody, 4 in score and scared most of the time.

How had he gotten so far?

The two ran and ran, and it didn´t stop. They were desperate, trying to get somewhere, a place where the madness would end.

And then Logan felt sand on his feet, and he looked back and only saw sand. The tigers weren´t there anymore.

But someone was close to him. A few feet away from him, to be exact.

His opponent. That´s the only he saw when he looked in front of him. His rival, his enemy. Someone who had to go for him to win and get his honor back, his pride returned to his natural land. A monster in his story.

At the same time, Hans saw a monster too. Someone who thrived in someone´s else murder. Someone who needed to die, not because he had to live, but for the sake of the world. A villain.

They were a long but rather too short distance from each other, near the port that they will be the place of crowning of the victor. They could see each other; they could see what they should do in their minds. But they still didn´t run and attack each other from some reason.

Logan didn´t know what was holding the District Twelve boy back. And he didn´t know what was holding him back either. Was this fear? No, it couldn´t be

Hans didn´t have any fear. He was just thinking. He was calm and processing information he had to have to win.

And he had a plan.

For a moment, they looked at each other in the eye. Then, Hans looked at the port and ran.

Logan then followed him suit, trying to catch his adversary and trying to end this a battle. Like a true man would do.

Hans, in the port now, took a large piece of wood from it and prepared himself for the upcoming drama.

Logan threw his knife to Hans, but he used the wood to cover for him. The knife, now in Hans hands, was then thrown to Logan, who barely dodged it.

Logan then grabbed the spear and prepared himself to hit Hans. Hans, who was prepared for it, avoided being killed in such a manner by rolling in the ground of the port. Then he stood up and hit Logan with wood right straight in the face. Logan fell in the ground and that´s when Hans started to hit. All over and over and over again.

But Logan what he had to do. He kicked Hans´ wood before he continued hitting him, and threw Hans off of himself. Logan, then, threw another knife, which also missed and fell in the water.

Hans prepared to hit Logan again, but then got hit straight into the face. One and two and three times. Logan wasn´t here to hold back, and he wouldn´t stop. He had to do this.

Hans ended up on the floor, on the edge of the port, almost falling into the water, with Logan above him. He was going to lower his spear and was going to kill him.

But then Hans fought back. He grabbed the spear before it could land on him and punched Logan right on the nose. He continued to punch until they were on the side on the port, and the situation had been reversed.

"What are you gonna do? Throw me into the water? HA!" Logan said while about to be on the water.

And then Hans did exactly that.

He wanted the dolphins to solve the problem for him. He didn´t want to have more blood in his hands, even though it sounded bad for a tribute to think that.

And when he was about to turn around and let him die, something grabbed him.

And he fell into the water.

There, the atmosphere was different. The sounds were quiet, even though Logan should be somewhere.

For a second, he put his head of water and breathed. And then the District One boy was in front him

"Hello" he said. And then dragged Hans´ head under the water.

Hans couldn´t see anymore. He wasn´t breathing the way he should. He was trying to get his head out, but he couldn´t because of the strength Logan had in his hands. He was gonna die, and he was gonna lose, and then Akira would be all alone, the baby would be all alone, and Mercy´s memory would be lost. Logan was gonna live and have a good laugh and be happy, with no consequences for his actions as a career. Hans was gonna be the villain, the runner-up, the second place guy. The loser.

The monster in the story.

He was about to close his eyes for good when he saw it.

His savior.

He grabbed the knife from the water, and with the few strength he had left, plunged it into Logan.

A very special part of Logan.

His face at that moment could only but be described as the mere personification of pain itself. He screamed and let go of Hans´ head, which lead him to the opportunity to get out, breath and try to swim out of the water.

Logan could only keep screaming. "AH, GET BACK HERE AND FIGHT LIKE A MAN!"

Hans only continued swimming back to the beach, as he felt various forces in the water nearing the place.

Logan was screaming, this couldn´t be happening. He was supposed to win without much effort! And it hurt a lot. He just needed to go back to the coast and finish his job.

And then the hungry-blood monsters came.

"AHH!" Logan shouted as the beasts started surrounding him.

Hans then started doing the only thing he could.

Watch.

The creatures then jumped Logan, blood erupted, and the rest was simple.

The trumpets sounded. Hans could only keep breathing

"Our victor of the Centennial Hunger Games is Hans Miner from District Twelve!"

He had a lot to do now.

Boy, was that a nice trip.

Hope you liked it and prepare for some nice epilogues!

Goodbye and see you soon
