Scott's POV

Kathie and I reach the mountain by dawn. Fighting has erupted in the middle, and we know Ginger has beat us to attacking.

This is definitely the last day.

No one has noticed us yet, but I can see Ginger throwing a spear. It flies at Jacob, who ducks. Unfortunately for him, Ginger had the spear aimed for his heart, and the spear buries itself into his head. He drops to his knees and the cannon fires.

Wow. I'm impressed. Not that he died, but that he made it to the last fight. He was only eleven. Not old enough for the Hunger Games.

That's when Kathie and I are noticed. Gorden and Ginger turn around. They've seen us. Gorden's has two daggers raised, and Ginger prepares her other spear. Before I can move, Gorden's throws the daggers. One hits me in the face. The other hits me in the chest.

I reach down and pull the dagger from my chest. Kathie is still safe, but I don't think I'm going to live much longer.

Gorden's POV

BOOM!

Scott's dead now. Ginger's spear missed Kathie by a few inches. Ginger is now unarmed, and Kathie has her spear.

Kathie advances on Ginger, holding up the spear teasingly. I stay back and wait.

Kathie throws the spear and Ginger drops to the ground, dead.

BOOM!

Now I advance on Kathie. I have Ginger's other spear, which I grabbed from Jacob's body.

"You thought you could kill my ally and get away with it?" she yells.

"Yes." I say, then throw the spear. It hits hear throat and the cannon fires.

I won. I'll Se my son grow up after all.
