"Go ahead," Phox says. "Kill me." "You know I can't," I say. We run into each other's embrace. He gently kisses me. A loud voice comes over the trees. "I am happy to present the victors of the 76th Hunger Games." Phox and I hug and I start crying tears of happiness. We run over and step on the platform I entered on. We are so close that we fit in the tube perfectly. Waiting for us are Alto, Atlas, and Fannia. "I knew you could do it, my beauty," Atlas says. I give him a huge hug. The next day we travel back to District 11. Phox walks in my house with me. "Sagitarria!" Hammil yells. He runs up to me and I hug him. Then, I hug Mom and Saffra. We sit down on the couch. Hammil tugs on my shirt. "Why did Phox volunteer?" Hammil asks. "It doesn't matter anymore, Hammil." And then, he walks in. Untouched, not how I last saw him. I want to say his name so bad. It is on the tip of my tongue, and then it comes out. "Leonis."
