DAY 11 - THE FINAL FIGHT
Matt Marley / District 12 / POV
As I flee from the swarm into the desert, I spot Riva running towards me yelling out something. I make my way closer to her and she screams for me to stop. It's too late though. All the trees disappear from sight, the wheat field, the meadow turns into desert, the ocean water evaporates. What's left is just the four tributes, the sand, animal corpses, and the village homes.
Riva makes a halt as she reaches me and asks, "Are you ready?"
I look down in sorrow. I don't want to kill anyone. I just want to go home. "Not really.. Where are the other two?"
"I saw them discussing something in the village. I think it's 2 on 2. Wait, unless you don't want to team up."
I stutter before saying, "No, I do."
"Okay, well I'm ready now so come on."
I cease movement, but I let myself agree and I follow Riva, onwards.
It's a silent walk when we finally reach the outskirts of the village. Like Riva told me, we witness Ashlie and Sam discussing something, before Ashlie's eyes catch a glimpse of us. She stands with a forming grin on her face, and shoots the shotgun in her hand like crazy.
Me and my ally bolt behind one of the huts gasping for air, barely dodging the bullets.
"I was not expecting that." Riva says, with a slight smile and then she peeks around the corner before firing an arrow. "Shit!"
"Missed?"
"Run, Matt!"
I do as she asks and I run around the other side to see Sam coming my way. I look to my weapon, a dagger. I look to his weapon, a sword. I chuckle in anger. The odds are not in my favour today.
I turn around to see Riva has not followed and so I run back to where I was before. I run into the middle of combat with Riva swinging around a sword while gripping Ashlie's hand equipped with a throwing knife, and Ashlie trying to release the grip and is shooting at random trying to hit her opponent.
Suddenly, I remember Sam and I turn to be pushed to the sand. He gets his sword out and rises it to prepare for a mighty stab in my chest. I reach for my dagger which has been released from grip. But I can't reach.
The cannon sounds.
Riva Billion / District 6 / POV
My eyes widen when I hear the cannon. Ashlie and I have stopped fighting to look towards the boys and see who has died.
"NO! What have I done?" Ashlie screams and runs towards her ally.
By the looks of it, one of Ashlie's gunshots hit Sam Wattle in the stomach and she had caused this death. Matt is startled and runs around the second hut with Sam's sword in his hand.
Three of us left.
I reach for my bow and arrows to prepare shooting at Ashlie, but she has already run out of range and is pursuing my ally.
A squawk comes from far down the desert. There's no mistaking it. The bird muttation is coming.
I run to the closest hut door and I run inside and slam the door. I scan the room and see that it is secure.
The screech gets louder and I see the image of the birds wings flapping intensely outside the window. Like a sensor, it detects movement from inside the hut and turns to face me.
It's claws spring out to start scratching the glass windows that make these huts look so odd. Scratch after scratch causes dreadful pain in my ears, and after a few moments it stops. It turns to the left. It flies off in another direction. I'm safe.
Ashlie Anders / District 2 / POV
I've lost track of the District 12 boy when I hear the screech of the bird muttation. I run into one of the huts and slam the door shut.
I turn around to find the District 6 girl.
"Hello," I say.
She gets out her bow and arrows.
I pull out the gun.
She shoots.
I shoot.
Something crashes through the window.
Her arrow misses.
My bullet hits.
Riva Billion / District 6 / POV
"No.. no. What happened?" Matt Marley's body lies in the middle of where Ashlie & I are standing. Broken glass is scattered across the floor.
Ashlie Anders cackles. "You're turn." She lunges forward. "I think I'd better give a more entertaining ending for you." She pulls out a curved knife and it hurls right past me.
Sarcastically, I say "Nice thro-" But the knife has hit me in the back before I can finish saying it.
Ashlie Anders has won.
Suddenly, something else bursts through the window. A screech emits through the room.
"OH MY GOD, CAN THIS THING JUST PISS OFF!" Ashlie cracks it which attracts the birds attention. Screaming echoes through the room as the bird rips Ashlie's chest to shreds. She lies there in excruciating pain until the bird crunches her head. The cannon sounds, signifying her death.
From that, I notice Matt's cannon hasn't sounded yet. It's not over.
Matt is dying from the bullet.
I'm dying from the boomerang knife in my back.
I guess it's the birds choice on who wins now.
The bird sits on the hut floor, before deciding to fly away and let fate decide who will win.
"Riva. Are you okay?" I flinch on hearing his voice.
I can't speak. I'm paralysed from the pain. Matt walks over to me. It seems he was never hit from the bullet at all.
He examines my injury and lets out a sigh. "Okay, Riva. I owe you my life anyway. So here it is." He raises Ashlie's gun to his head. "Thank you for saving me."
Tears form around my eyes. I need to say something. But... I can't.
I hear a cannon before I blackout from blood loss.
