Day 17

*Warning, SexyBonBon's writing got a bit...Sexy* it honestly ain't that bad, trust me but hey, warning if you need it.

Also, enjoy this chapter while it lasts. Next time you get a chapter without death, it will be about our victor. Yeah, it's about to go down.

Ashton Khell POV:

Me and Ezra ran into a small, hollowed tree and dived inside. The entrance was small but we managed to squeeze in, it was better than being outside. The sky grumbled as the bright sun was blocked out and replaced with darkness. The wind started off as a slight breeze but it became more violent with each second. Soon, the branches in the tree were had sheltered in were falling down around us. The tree was so large that even the smallest branches were the size of a normal tree trunk. Me and Ezra backed as far away from the entrance as we could.

The air became cooler and when the train came, the high winds forced it into our shelter.

"It's a monsoon!" Ezra shouted, pulling out some tarp from his bag and attempting to cover the hole. In the end, he gave up and covered us instead.

By the time it was finished, we were both dripping wet and shivering.

Finch Maylor POV:

Lavina sat a few feet in front of me, watching the storm that roared on outside. She laughed and moved backward when a small tree fell down. She was a lot better than she was a few hours ago but both her and Atlas' voices were raspy and they kept coughing.

I was trapped behind a corner a few meters away from them. I wasn't hidden, I was just quiet. I wanted to run deeper into the cave but I was worried they would hear me but it was only a matter of time before they found me like this.

"I am off for a pee" Atlas sighed, standing up and brushing down his pants. Lavina gave a small nod as she continued to watch the storm. The older girls seemed fascinated by it.

Atlas walked so he was in front of me but his back was turned. He undid his pants and the sound liquid hitting the floor reminded me that even killers were human too. What the blonde haired boy did see was was Lavina taking a sneaky look at him, going red and turning away. I would have found it funny if I wasn't looking at my possible killer peeing.

Atlas zipped up his pants and then walked back to Lavina who shifted awkwardly when he sat down next to her. The wind outside tore through the trees to the point I couldn't hear the careers speaking anymore.

I saw my chance and took it. I grabbed my bag and ran down the dark tunnel, taking myself deeper into the cave. The further I got, the closer I was to victory. I didn't stop until I felt safe.

Day 18

Atlas Geo POV:

"Ashton and Finch should be easy, they are strong but they don't have the training we do. Ezra is our biggest threat now but if we both attack him, two against one should be easy," I said, drawing stick figures and crossing them out on the cave floor.

Lavina sat next to me, her eyes wide and full of tears. We had both been avoiding a topic but as the numbers dropped, it was becoming something we needed to discuss.

"If we are the final two we will just have to fight-" I was cut off when Lavina grabbed my hair, turning my head and placing her lips on mine. I didn't even have to think about it, I welcomed her soft lips after days of suppressing my feelings. But as quickly as it started, I pulled away.

"we can't," I sighed, turning away from Lavina. She shifted and leaned in close.

"if I am going to die, I want to have no regrets," She said quietly.

"you won't die-"

"One of us has to," She was right and I hated it. I turned back to her, she opened her mouth to speak again but I didn't let her. I pulled her head towards mine and moved my lips against hers. I leaned forward, pushing Lavina down to the ground. My arms held my weight as I continued to kiss. Lavina's hands started to move down my bare chest, I was fine with that, but then she started to unbutton my pants. I yelped and leaped off her, backing away and holding my hand over my opened buttons. Lavina looked hurt as she sat up and watched me.

"I am sorry, I thought we both...wanted it...I guess," she mumbled, looking away from me with embarrassment on her face.

"No, it's my fault, I have never, you know, done it before," I said, my voice trailing off towards the end. I rubbed the back of my neck nervously. It wasn't very manly of me to admit but I had never been with a woman or even had feelings for one. Until Lavina, that is. Although I refused to admit it, she was the first woman I cared for romanticly. She understood the way my mind worked and supported me in anything I had done. I was certain that I would have already tried to make it serious and ask her out if I had met her back home. However, in some cruel twist, the one girl I cared for, could be dead in a matter of days.

"Same, I never really had the chance to be with a man," she said with embarrassment, hiding her face. It was the way of most careers, so busy trying to become the best, they missed out of being normal human beings. I was sure Consus has something to do with Lavina's lack of suitors.

I seemed cruel but this statement made me smile, she couldn't judge me as she knew no different. I was swift in my movement, pulling her head towards mine and kissing her once more. She seemed shocked but quickly got used to it.

I pushed her down once more and started to kiss up her neck. When I reached her ears, I wanted nothing more to utter some certain words. I bit my lip with frustration, using all my self-control. Lavina shifted awkwardly under me, taking my moment of weakness to flip me over onto my back. She straddled me and continued to kiss me. I pulled her top over her shoulders and looked at the body, I was slightly embarrassed to say, I had wanted to see since I met her.

Lavina sat up and smiled, starting to undo her sports bra. I ran my hands down her curvy, toned frame and to her pants, starting to undo the buttons. I had never felt so content and happy in my life. I almost forgot I was in a death Game. I was so over the moon that I didn't even see the spear until it was too late.

Ah, I am so sorry I left you guys on a cliffhanger like this. What do you think happened?
