Cyrus Redick, 18, D7M
No more words are exchanged, we don't look each other in the eye anymore, we simply charge and start attacking each other. I am dual wielding my knife in my left hand and my crosscut saw in my right. I lunge towards his stomach with my knife but he expertly dodges it, I then swing my saw towards his neck but raises his harpoon and the metals clash into each other, making a loud clinging noise, he grunts and steps back, using my own momentum against me so I fall forwards, he stabs forwards with his harpoon but the blow is a bit off, what was originally meant to be a stab to the eye simply turns into a deep gash on the right side of my cheek.
I groan and fall to the floor, he chuckles slightly and stabs the harpoon towards my face, lucky for me I roll out of the way, ending up on my knees. "Bow to me Cyrus! Bow to me before I make you scream!" He orders and kicks his foot out at me. I raise my saw and his foot collides with the flat end, which surprises him, I use my knife and slash his calf, he grits his teeth and quickly dance back, giving me time to stand on my feet.
This is frustrating, his years of training against my inexperience shows, I've simply been fighting on gut instinct this whole time but he just knows what he's doing. The slash to his calf didn't even do anything, we're still circling each other in this deadly circle of death. "I'll never bow to you, you're nothing but a spoiled brat who thinks this is all easy cos his daddy has done this before. Even if you torture me I'll never bow to you cos he don't deserve my respect." I spit out at him.
This simply angers the career. "You will bow as I destroy your very being Cyrus Redick!" He spits back. He then comes at me again, using his harpoons and stabbing at me, I block one blow but then he spins, spinning on his heel and ending up behind me, I spin around and try to block but I can't. The harpoons finds its mark on my shoulder and I drop my knife and yell out in pain, stumbling away as the hole in my shoulder allows blood to pour out.

He's not talking so big now, I made him scream, he's dropped one of his weapons while I still have two. I take this opportunity to make another stab at him, he stupidly raises his forearm on the arm I stabbed and the harpoons sinks into his forearm this time, he cries out in pain again, stumbling back even more, it hurts, I'm making him scream. I then stab my harpoon towards his face, aiming for his eye but this time he uses his saw and deflects the blow, he kicks his left foot out, it sinks into my chest and I'm thrown back onto the ground.
"I won't bow!" He screams and suddenly a sharp pain explodes through my nose, followed by a sickening crunching sound and trickles of warm, sticky blood running down my face, over my lips and down my chin. I groan and he swings the saw, slicing my stomach and I yell out in pain and kick his ankle, he falls to the ground almost immediately, groaning as well. Now we're both on the floor, both taken injuries, his arm and my stomach and nose. I'm slightly dazed as well, it was a really strong kick.
I must get up.
I slowly but surely begin to get up but he also has the same idea, we're both trying to get up. I stab my harpoon towards him, however Cyrus managed to dive to the ground, avoiding my lunge, he uses his saw to slash at me chest, I scream out as I feel the blood pouring out of the gash. At this rate we'll both die! I manage to slowly get up, seeing straight again. "I-I won't d-die." I say drowsily, still very slightly drowsy. However before I can attack he suddenly tackles me by the waist and we're back on the ground, he's taking the fight up close and personal now. He's trying to drag the saw across my skin but I won't let him, I refuse to.
Using my strength I manage to roll us so I'm on top, I let go of one harpoon and use my fist to start punching him, in the face, eye. After about four hard punches I roll off. His nose is bleeding, his eye is black and he has two bruises on his face. However I'm pretty hurt as well, the slash to the chest. I'm practically struggling to get up and so is he, he's bleeding in one arm and has a bruised up face, but I have a broken nose and a gash on my chest.
He slowly gets up and I have my harpoon in my hand, and for one final hit we both run in, at the moment I make the mistake of stumbling and trying to stab him in the eye again, he's stumbling as well and manages to avoid my blow, just barely missing his face. With his saw he swings at me face, the saw drags across my forehead, opening up such a deep wound I feel like my skull will split open. I yell out as I feel the blood dripping onto the floor and down my face, blinding my vision, I can't see.

I don't know how I got that lucky hit in on him. But he can't see now, it's time to finish this. I put my saw against the side of his neck, where many arteries are located. And then I drag the saw towards be, opening a very deep wound on his neck, severing arteries that I know he needs to life. He gasps and chokes as the blood flows from the wound like a mountain and he collapses to his knees. He just can't believe it, a strong career like him, losing to a lower district fighter like me? The underdog has won. I grin to myself as I sinks to his knees, dropping all of his weapons.
"You lose Percy, looks like you're bowing to me today." I say coldly, I falls face down onto the ground and then his canon fires, signalling his death. I collapse to me knees, the pain, it hurts too much, I don't know how I'll be able to fight the other tributes now, bandages, I need them, I look at my bleeding arm. I look through his backpack, he has bandages and medical equipment, good.
I then begin to slowly limp away, using the wall as support. I need to rest because right now I feel like I'm going to drop dead.
Percy Thames: Hands down my favorite career in the arena. A strong leader who everyone fears and is ruthless to any and all tributes. Honestly I regret killing you off a lot. When I wrote this fight I could honestly see you winning but I'm just a sucker for an underdog. You'll always be my favorite career in this arena. R.I.P.
