Ali

It was me and them. It hurt to think of my friends as 'them'.

I got another Pegasus and started to head to the castle, ready to have a showdown with the two people who loved each other as lovers, and loved me as a friend.

Tears would be shed tonight by whoever won, but only one would live through the night. All I could do was hope that it was me.

My hand on the winged horse felt something ripple. I looked at the Pegasus and almost screamed. Instead of a beautiful white horse, it was a black skeletal horse with bat wings.

Its gentle demeanor quickly turned into a murderous one. A scream echoed from the castle. Seraphin.

The mutt had sharp teeth that it decided it would like to bury in my flesh. But it was designed to torture.

It bit off my fingers letting the blood rush from them and bits of bone show.

It sliced gashes all over me. I slowly bled, seeing my muscle and bits of bone.

The voices in the castle were still yelling, and hoarse sounds came with them.

The skeletal beast eventually sliced at my neck. I died quickly then, grateful for the escape form the pain.

Rigel

I shoved Phin behind me as I took the sword and dismembered the mutt.

It got me in a few places. It sliced my face and arms. Seraphin was screaming behind me, telling me that we should just run when a cannon shot off.

Ali was dead. This made Phin sob and fall to the ground while screaming. Too many emotions were falling over her.

Eventually, the thing died. I threw its body parts out the window.

I got next to Phin and held her close. Doing my best to comfort her, I felt her fear. She feared my death, I feared hers.

We were the last two. One of us had to die for the other one to live. Neither of us were prepared for this.

She calmed down slightly and met my eyes, jumping at me to kiss me. We kissed for minutes upon minutes. We didn't go near as far as we did last time we were this passionate, but the love was still strong.

When we finally broke apart, I saw my blood smeared on her face.

She was so flawless. So beautiful. I could lose myself in her eyes and die happy.

I ran my bloody hand through her red curls. She trapped my hand and smiled back at me.

She looked at me in concern and touched the blood on my face gently.

"What are the odds it wasn't venomous, and we'll make it through this?" She asked quietly.

"Close to none." I responded in a nicest way possible. More tears streamed down her face. We couldn't joke about this, or kiss it away.

"I don't want you to go." She whispered through her sobs. It broke me to see her like that. She was hurting, and I had told her I would stop her from hurting.

"You have to live," I said as strongly as I could. "You have to live for your sister, and you have to live for mine. You have to live because I love you, and because I would do anything for you."

"But I love you!" She yelled. I smiled. She loved me, and hearing that one more time, I could die in peace.

Seraphin

"NO!" I screamed at his corpse. I tried to drown out his cannon, because if I couldn't hear it, maybe it didn't happen.

But it happened. Rigel was dead. I couldn't let him stay like that. I couldn't let him go.

Instead, I laid him down and closed his silver eyes. My fingers traced over the constellations on his arms and face. I cemented all of my memories of him into a brain and I would never let them go.

A hovercraft sent a ladder down and I grabbed onto it while someone took Rigel's body into a different vehicle.

I won. I didn't want to win. This was horrible. This was wrong.

They injected something into my arm. I fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up, I heard I squeal of happiness. Kayla sat next to me with a sad smile on her face. There were a few tear tracks left on her face and I tried to smile for her.

Rigel. All I could think was Rigel. Opal may or may not hate me.

While I was in the arena, I was willing to give up being Seraphin Grace, and become Seraphin Kuiper.

Now everything was shattered and I would have to go through life alone. No one knew what I was going through now.

I would never let go of my memories, and I would never let go of my alliance.

That's the last chapter of the games. A sequel will be up very soon. Another SYOT. It's called 'The Lost Children'
