It's been a long time coming but it is the final Game chapter. Enjoy.

June Briony, 17

District Eleven Female

Paired with Ezra Alrington

Me and Frederick were the first up. Then again, I was sure Frederick hadn't slept at all. Between the Akahl and Nico situation and the fact he now had Invidia glued to his side, it was enough to make anyone uneasy.

Nico finally emerged to eat, quickly followed by Akhal who was pulling a shirt over her head. She made brief eye contact with Frederick who looked hurt. Then she quickly looked away, taking a seat beside Niko.

"Do you think I will be punished?" I asked, breaking the silence. "Y'know, if Ezra doesn't arrive?"

"He will arrive," Invidia said bluntly. "I am counting on it." She waved her spear in a way that made Frederick flinch.

"So that's why you haven't killed us?" I grumbled.

"Not really...lets just say, If I don't kill Ezra, he will kill me." I didn't know I wanted to die more. Invidia or Ezra. Both would be preferable. However, it was Niko who broke the silence.

"Frederick, can I speak to you please?" The dark haired boy gave a nod, following Niko into the woods.

I pulled Frederick into a clearing where I was sure the rest of them could not hear us and pulled him close to whisper in his ear.

"If this all goes south and we are expected to fight Ezra, I want you to stay behind with Akhal-"

"Why can't you stay behind yourself?" He asked.

"Because I am the second most skilled Tribute here, aside from Invidia. I will be wanted in the fight. I need you to stick by her side and if I am killed, win with her...you're the only Tribute here who cares for her and would want to win with her...she is the only Tribute I care about." I looked Frederick in the eye and his face softened. "If I can't be with her, I want you two to win."

A smile grew on Fredericks as he took my hand in his and shook it.

"Thank you."

"Guys!" June shouted, crashing through the undergrowth. When she found us, she was frantic. "You're needed back at camp."

When we arrived, we were met with the mangled body of Hyacinth, his skull smashed from falling out of a tree.

"He was hinding up there, tried to ambush me with a rock...I got him," Invidia said with pride. June and Akhal seemed less sure, sanding away from the scene and close to each other. While Invidia called for Frederick to check the body for supplies, I moved over to June and Akahl.

"What really happened?" I asked in a hushed voice. It was Akhal who had the courage to speak.

"Nothing, he was in the tree but he was just hiding." It was the answer I feared. Invidia was in end game now, she was only using the alliance to help her take down Ezra, then she would kill us all.

"Just stay away from her, keep close to each other and if things start to go in her favour, just run."

Invida Aurel, 18

District Two Female

Paired with Frederick Loophole

It was about two hours before Ezra arrived and we heard him before we saw him. He screamed our names out with confidence and stood in the open meadow, his arms wide and a smile on his face. I gripped my spear tightly and watched.

"He only has a dagger...I can't see Laura defending him...he should be easy to take down if all of us try-"

"Fredericks staying with the girls to defend them, they have no fighting skills," Niko said, counting his arrows. I frowned.

"It's the Hunger Games, they are meant to fight-"

"No rule says they have to fight, they want to stay behind, they are staying...as you said, he is weak, us two alone should be able to take him out." I didn't want to fight with him and risk him attacking me so I agreed, standing to my feet.

"Fine, we should get going." Niko gave a nod, walking over to Akhal and saying his teary goodbyes. I watched impatiently as they hugged and told each other to be safe, trying to ignore the emotions connected to Beckham that tried to creep up. I would have given anything for him to be with me now. However, he wanted to be with Violet.

"We haven't got all day," I snapped. Niko scowled before giving a small nod towards Frederick before joining me.

Frederick Loophole, 16

District Ten Male

Paired with Invidia Aurel

Akhal didn't speak as Niko and Invidia left and June paced in front of us, visibly stressed.

"We need to help them," she said through a grunt. "She's going to kill Niko or Ezra will kill all of them-"

"And what do you expect us to do?" I asked. "We have one weapon and I am staying with Akhal-"

"Then give it to me." June said bluntly.

"What?"

"If we don't help them, Ezra wins and he gains two weapons." I thought about her words as I looked at my crossbow. With a sigh, I offered it to her.

"Thank you," she said with a wide grin. She then turned to Akhal. "You two stay safe." and with that we watched her run towards the fight.

"Why did you give her your weapon?" Akhal asked when she was out of earshot. Her voice was shaky and uneasy. "You gave away our only protection-" I cut her off by pulling her close to me, so she was looking me in the eye.

"Forget that, we need to run. Whoever wins that stupid fight will be injured. If it is Niko, he will find us but everyone else will want to kill us. But they will be weak if we can hide long enough, they will die and-"

"You get to win with me," Akhal sighed. I couldn't find a way to answer so Instead I pulled her in close and kissed her on the lips. She pulled away quickly, startled. "What-"

"If I didn't do that before I die, I'd be an idiot,"

Laura Hope, 16

District Twelve Female

I stayed behind the tree line and watched as the fight continued. No one had shot at me but that was only because I didn't pose a threat. Invidia had ordered Niko not to shoot at Ezra incase he hit her so the boy sat at the side and waited. Invidia had managed to keep Ezra at arm's length with her spear but I knew someone had to give.

I turned out it was Invidia after Ezra lead her to a small rocky slope. Her eyes so trained on Ezra that she stumbled. That was all he needed as he pulled away her spear and turned it on. It happened quickly and within seconds, Invidia was on the ground wounded.

Then Niko started his attack, firing arrow after arrow at Ezra. The boy clearly was not trained with them as they all missed. When June joined, it did little but confuse Ezra, one of her bolts scaring his face.

With a cry of pain, Ezra threw his spear at the girl, lodging it in her chest and sending her to the ground. Between the two, Ezra found enough time to run across to June's body and grabbed the crossbow. Niko shot another arrow at Ezra, lodging it in his thigh which earned a scream from the boy.

Ezra quickly loaded a bolt in the weapon and shot at Niko, hitting him in the stomach and causing him to drop his bow.

Rage was visible on Ezra's face as he dropped the crossbow and replaced it for Niko's, looking the struggling boy in the eyes as he pulled the quiver off of his back. Ezra then turned his attention to me, placing an arrow in his bow and letting it fly long before I could even react.

District 10 Female

Paired with Nicholas Davenport

A second cannon sounded and me and Frederick looked to the sky in time to see Laura's face flash in sixth place.

"We need to go-"

"But Niko is still out there, he is still alive-" An arrow interrupted me, lodging in the tree close to my head. We wasted little time after that, turning and running away from a limping Ezra that came crashing through the undergrowth after us.

The arrow in his leg meant he was unable to catch up with us and he was unable to steady himself enough to get a good aim on us. However, someone needed to die so he continued after us.

As we ran, another cannon sounded but none of us had time to look who it was, I just prayed it was not Niko.

For a while, it seemed like the odds were on our side until Frederick, who had been running behind me fell to the ground, pushing me over. I caught a quick glimpse of an arrow in his back as I feel down a steep ditch.

Ezra Arlington, 18

District 1 Male

I limped past Frederick as I got another arrow ready for Akhal. I found the girl crawling away from the base of the ditch. Her leg was twisted and looked broken, leaving her unable to climb the other side. She turned to look at me, tears in her eyes as another cannon sounded. I let another arrow fly, this time hitting her in the abdomen and gaining a cry from her. I shot again, this time hitting her in the face, breaking her jaw and cheek bones. This time she started to weep.

I loaded up another arrow when something large hit me in the head, knocking me down. As I hit the ground, hitting a rock on the way, another cannon sounded and everything went black.

7th Place: June Briony, District 11 Female- Killed By Ezra, District One Male

6th Place: Laura Hope, District 12 Female- Killed by Ezra, District One Male

We have our Victors but who will it be? Invidia, Frederick, Niko, Akhal or Ezra? These two have been the victors since the first Capitol chapter and I have hinted through the story who it will be.

Who do you think it will be? I'll post the reveal chapter in a few days. I'm interested to see if you guess it.
