CH 14: Victory
I rise as the sun shines down on the arena. Shimer must have left the Cornucopia because I don't see her there when I look down at it.
I eat all my berries and drink the last of my water. I grab my mace and climb down the mountain.
I look in the forest section first. There are no signs anyone has inhabited here. She must be in the plains. I know she can't swim because she is from 1, so she can't be in the Island section. She would have found me if she was in the Tundra section, so that leaves the plains.
I walk into the plains, mace held high, ready to bash anything that moves.
After a futile effort, u stop to rest on a hill. I then smell something that in District 5 means your circuit over loaded, smoke. I jump up and turn around to she fire rapidly spearing towards the middle. I run towards the Cornicopia and see that it's not only the plains section.
The Gamemakers have made a circle of fire around he Cornicopia.
Shimer comes running out with a sword in hand, looking murderous. I grab my mace and swing at her stomach. She rolls out of the way and I end up hitting her foot. She swings
Her sword cutting my leg. U bash my mace into her stomach.
I raise my mace to finish her but before I can, a knife hits
My abdomen. I fall to the ground clutching my stomach. Shimer stands up and kicks me in the mouth.
"Any last words little girl".
She says arrogantly. "Yeah, this is for Valina".
I grab my mace and swing at her head. She falls over and her breathing is messed up, so I know she will die but I know why Valina would do for me. I hit my mace into her head long after I hear her cannon. I step away from her headless corpse and drop my mace.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the victor of the 23rd Hunger Games, Amber Pine!" Hollers Augie.
The Hover craft materializes over head and as I climb in I look out at the arena. The hovercraft door closes and it rises. I've one the Hunger Games. I'm going home.
