The Finale Battle

Luke Cahill-District 7

I found Gareth, throwing pebbles against a boulder or so but I really wasn't too sure about what he was doing. The very fact that he was alive still surprised me. Maybe it was because I thought he would've perished on day 1-4 but not seeing his face in the sky assuaged my fears, greatly. I knew once the careers disbanded, I could find my other alliance but I really wasn't expecting this to be soon, especially when we are in day 5 now and there are 41 tributes remaining; 40 deaths before the victor is announced. I really wanted it to be me but I wasn't arrogant to say that though. Everyone had someone awaiting for their arrival and I had to get back home for Amanda so that we could get married.

I knew marriage was a big step in my life but I think I was ready for the commitment though; I had years to prepare.

"Careers fell apart?" Gareth asked.

"Yep, with over half of us dead, we decided to break the alliance though," I told him.

Gareth nodded before continuing on, "So they allowed you to take a weapon and a bag?"

"And food... I'm guessing it's fish judging from the way the bag is like," I knew what fish looked like in plastic or wrapped bags as spending a lot of time fishing and selling fish back home. "Just don't quote me on that."

Gareth laughed, "We should get a move on before something starts up again... There's been an unusual amount of lack of deaths but I don't want to be a victim just yet."

"You're probably right."

Gareth and I walked cautiously out of the green forest, where everything looked green with a few occasional splashes of colours though but it was still green. The trees thickness started to ease up which made it clearer to see up ahead to where I didn't know where I was going until I saw a few pieces of shells; different kinds which greatly reminded me of back home at the beach where I would often pick seashells for Amanda though, sometimes she often would wear them as bracelets or necklaces. It made me love her all over again to see her smile light up whenever I gave her something. Amanda would understand why I had to do this but I promise that I would make it back to her. Even if I lost my limbs but home was more important. I saw sand the farther we walked and saw a familiar shade of blue that looked like the ocean back home.

"Look," Gareth whispered as he pointed out towards the distance, "We should wait before they leave or one of them dies."

"You're right... No use of dying just yet."

We found a spot that was concealed from prying eyes or so I hoped but it should make do for temporarily. It still had the distance to where those two tributes wouldn't notice us or perhaps anyone. We sat back and watched as something played. It was oddly disturbing but at least I wasn't there fighting whoever that person was. I would rather stay hidden until chosen to fight.

Bodhi Miller-District 2

It was an odd coincidence that I met Jasinta with her weapon drawled and a cruel smirk dancing on her lips as I came closer. I thought we wouldn't meet each other until much later; until I could probably kill Jasinta for what she has done or well payback for what her father done to my aunt. Our families were destined to hate each other after all. I couldn't wait to kill her though. She deserved it.

"Come to die?" Jasinta said in an innocent voice. The same one she gave yesterday before those careers died. She was up to something. Did she had something to do of forgetting to purify the water? "Just like you're dear dead aunt whom you'll soon be joining."

I clenched my teeth as the mention of her but it wouldn't do to lash out first. That would be irrational of me for doing so when Jasinta had were sword drawled out and ready to strike at him like a viper. Her silver sword gleamed brightly but I grabbed my sword pinned to my back because it was somewhat heavy if I carried it around everywhere.

Jasinta lunged forward, baring her teeth as she swung her sword towards me which I gracefully ducked and decided to strike her with little to no force at ball. I had to save my strength if this gone on forever until one of us went down and emerged as victor of the fight.

"You're not going to win," she mocked, her stance perfect almost like she has been waiting for this moment all her life which I knew I have; ever since I learned about her death and what role the Brooke's played apart of. "You're just as weak and disabled as she was."

Her sword caught me off guard whence she slashed it against my arm which made me gasp out in the sudden pain that felt like it was on fire. She was lucky but that was a little to quick to catch me off guard. I couldn't get distracted or she would emerge victor and I would perish along with Aunt Harriet. This is what I had to do.

This continued on for a while. Beads of sweat started forming on my forehead and made my hands all clammy but I ignored it. I had to win of us had an advantage or disadvantage; both striking at each other and blocking the opponent's attack but it felt like ten hours before Jasinta started to pant and let her stance go. That was a big mistake.

I took advantage of her weakness which made her fall down on her back on the sand with her weapon a few inches away from her, her hand trying to reach it but failing multiple times. I raised my sword up and I sneered at her pathetic form as she struggled. I brought it down to which made her gasp out in pain and started coughing on her blood. I watched as the light faded from her eyes. She was finally dead.

I felt accomplishment at this. My endeavor was too finally kill her which I thought was kinda feasible but this made me ecstatic at her death. Everything I worked for succeeded. My revenge was finally paid off.

41 Place: Jasinta Brooke sworded through the chest by Bodhi Miller

Jasinta, you were a great villain that had an endeavor to kill Bodhi with him the other way around. You were a little arrogant, I have to admit of wanting to win and follow your parents footsteps. You were from another SYOT but that SYOT was abandoned so it all works out. You would be missed by your family and friends but the Victor's crown won't be yours. You won't be able to follow your parents footsteps, maybe your siblings will? You were a cool tribute to write and I enjoyed writing your POVs immensely. Thank you Emily3THG for her.

30 more deaths than the sequel. I wasn't prepared to have the battle this chapter so it was a great surprise for me. I'm typing this on my tablet as I can't access it on my computer as it's turned off and Google docs was acting up so I don't really have a copy of this. I guess see you later today (since it's past Midnight for me). I'll leave the careers alone for while or well Shane, the triplets, Luke and Triton alone for a while.
