Victory
Now, it´s just me, the boy of 4 and Justin.
I will win.
I have to win.
For my mother. For the girl of 10. For Benjamin. For Eric.
I´m pretty sure the boy of 4 will die and it´s going to be a final between Justin and me.
How do I know that? Please, 4 is pathetic, I don´t know how he made to the top 3 anyway.
Probably hiding. But now ends the hide-and-seek game. If he gets in my way he´ll be dead within 5 seconds. I have to kill.
I close my eyes for a moment. Tomorrow I´ll be out of the Arena as a victor. A grin spreads about my face.
Suddenly it begins to darken. I snort. Of course the gamesmakers have to make the final so "dramatically".
Probably I should be frightened but I think I lost my feelings completely in the Games.
I grip my axe and keep waiting. What will happen?
At the left I notice a white field of … skeletons? At the first I have to admit I´m a bit shocked.
Every of these things has a sword in his right hand at they walk as they would live.
I think. What can I do? I can´t beat around 20 opponents – alive or not.
It seems the best opportunity is to climb up and go from tree to tree. So I hurry up because the skeletons have come closer. Some of them try to get me but to my luck they don´t have the abilities to climb.
Up in the tree I let out a sigh. My thoughts wander to the other tributes. Where are they? Why hasn´t died anyone yet?
Just at this a cannon booms and the picture of 4 is shown at the sky.
Ha, I knew it!
I grin broadly. Yep, I have gotten completely crazy.
So, only Justin and me. I laugh quietly.
Oh, poor boy. He hasn´t any idea what my strengths are. Probably he even doesn´t know I´m the only one who is still alive. I bet he´s somewhere wondering who his last opponent is.
Okay Johanna, keep thinking, you don´t want to be a figure of the Gamemakers, make these games to yours.
A plan sets in my mind but I´ll have to kill the skeletons so it is able to work. But how can I destroy them?
Then I think Fuck it!
I´m strong and they can´t see me they only know where I am circa – not exactly.
I get down and swing my axe.
While I walk I destroy all skeletons which cross my way. I don´t feel anything: I´m not scared, I´m not triumphantly, I´m not even angry at the Capitol. After a while there are everywhere bones on the ground.
I blink. That wasn´t as hard as I thought it would be. Now my plan...
In 7 I learned some traps in school . Although I found it kind of boring I was always pretty good.
Taking the rope I head to the Cornucopia. A perfect place to end the Games. I smirk evilly while setting the trap.
I just hope it´ll go as I have planned. Stop it, Johanna! You´re going to win. No doubts!
After I finished setting the trap I cover it with leaves which lay around the apple trees on the meadow.
"Now I just have to wait until Justin comes and plays with me" I think to myself.
He hasn´t come although I have been waiting around an hour, little by little I become impatient.
Then I see him walking out of the forest. Between him and me I can see my trap glinting through the leaves. He´s around 20 metres away. And he isn´t the best with knifes, he can only win with his stupid sword which he is holding in his hand.
"Finally" I snort.
He looks shocked at me. "You?" he asks dumbfounded.
"Yes, me" I answer.
He doesn´t move and then nearly shouts "But you got a 3 in training!"
I snort. "It seems you are really as stupid as you look like" I see how he gets angry. Good. When I provoke him he´ll step directly in my sweet trap which I made only for him.
"Care to explain?" he asks after taking 2 steps in my direction.
I roll my eyes. He´smuch more dumb than I thought. "It was an act" I answer simply. "Who would hunt little, stupid, weak Johanna when there is the bitch Chrystall or the boy of 12?"
"It was an act" he repeats my words slowly. I sigh, does he really need so much time to get it?
"Yes" I answer impatiently and take some steps back. He follows automatically and doesn´t notice anything. This is just so easy. Only a few steps and he will be trapped.
"But how did you survive?" he asks "What are your abilities?"
"Don´t worry, honey" I answer him walking slowly backwards with him coming closer "You are going to find out soon"
After these words he makes his final move. The trap snaps and he is hanging in the air with his head looking to the ground.
I take my axe look at him one last time.
"Say goodbye to your life" I say heartless. Then I swing my axe and behead him.
The cannon goes off. Boom!
Emotionless I look at the dead body of Justin.
Then I hear the voice of Claudius Tempelsmith saying:
"Ladies and Gentlemen I´m honoured to present you the victor of the 68th annual Hungergames!"
Finally I fully realize that I won. I´m alive. I´m going home.
A smirk crosses my faces but seconds later I feel so tired that the smile fades.
Numb I am taken by Peacekeepers who bring me into the Hovercraft which just arrived during the announcement. The last thing I see is a woman in white clothing then all goes black.
Yes! I made it. The chapter is complete. Sorry again for updating so late. HungerGamesOwl
