The Last Night

Sunny Ackerman-District 9

I heard whimpering coming from the cave that was only a few feet away. I investigated it as I was curious but wasn't too curious for my own damn good and I saw a girl that was tied up tightly with her wrists and ankles bound with a boy looming over her with a knife or something in his hands. It actually kind of looked like he was going to kill her from the pool of a dark substance, it kinda looked like blood from here but then again it could look like anything.

I stepped forward, tightly gripping the knife in my hand as I headed towards his back and ready to kill him if prepared to me because that was wrong. The girl looked at me curiously and opened her mouth to say something before she screamed in pain no doubt. I slit his neck once the girl started screaming and watched as he dropped dead with me staring in horror of I've done. I didn't mean to kill anyone but I guess it was noble for me for the girl to be saved.

"Thank you," She whispered once I began to untie her.

"How long have you been here?" I inquired, backing up slowly just in case she had a weapon on her once I untied the rope around her ankles and the her wrists.

"Don't know, since the feast probably," The girl spoke in a soft manner. "Who knows how long that has been."

"It's been roughly about two to three days possibly but time is meaningless here," I told her, helping her up and she casted me a small smile in return.

"I'm Livia," she held out her hand as she said that which I gladly accepted.

"Sunny…" I said, "Before you leave can you kill me because I killed him because he was hurting you and I don't want to suffer from the nightmares if I return home a victor."

"Of course," She said. "Painful or quick?"

"Quick would be fine," I murmured and didn't flinch when she put my knife at the base of my neck and dragged it quickly. I'm sorry mom and dad for this but maybe you could understand why I had to do this.

Tatter Ruch-District 8

I wasn't a strategic nor was I a master manipulator which didn't really help if I was in the arena. It was like I was able to do math equations to help me survive in the arena but it was worth the shot. Judging from the two cannons that just sounded, there would be about 11 more deaths before one of us good go back home.

If I get back in eight, I would be able to study some of the Capitol textbooks and at least don't have to worry about my intelligence going to waste back home and somehow my intelligence was getting put to the test. I often wondered if I was born in the wrong district as I was supposed to be good with sewing and such.

"Who are you?" I asked, quickly hiding my notebook and a pencil which really wasn't all that handy inside my pocket and clenching my fists in annoyance of being disturbed. "What do you want?"

"I'm Flint and well there's a guy from 2 about to kill me so it would be best if you want to survive," Flint said a little quickly which I understood of what he meant though so that was a good thing.

I grabbed everything I had and hid in a pointy bush that was in thorns and kept stabbing me repeatedly but I paid no mind to it only covering my eyes once I heard a small scream and the sound of metal dropped and held my breath until a cannon sounded which I came out.

A male that looked older stared at space as Flint kinda started crying over the dead body which I assumed he had killed and tricked him.

"You okay?" I inquired, placing a hand on his shoulder which he stared at me before he declined. His hand was around his stomach protectively which he slowly moved and blood was pooling out of him. He was hopeless.

"Tell my family I loved them," Flint murmured, his breathing getting shallower and shallower before his chest stopped moving. He was dead.

I moved away once the hovercraft appeared but it didn't like any of the Capitol's which made it odd and picked me up even though I wasn't dead.

Was I the victor? But that couldn't be right according to my calculations there was about now nine more deaths but maybe I missed some.

I saw three girls and another boy lying in beds, looking relaxed and sleeping. Something was wrong.

Eulogies:

14 Place: Cyrus Tormius slitted neck by Sunny Ackerman

Cyrus was a great villain who lasted a while but sadly he didn't notice that there was someone behind him and slit his neck as he was torturing Livia but he kinda served it. Thank you Norbus95 for him.

13 Place: Sunny Ackerman slitted neck by Livia Valor

Sunny was a cool tribute though and I really loved her a lot. Sadly, she didn't want to win because she knew the cost if she ever would win and she didn't want to suffer the rest of her life in vain, afraid to go sleep so she asked Livia to kill her which she did and she was amazing. Thank you LCS for her.

12 Place: Bodhi Miller sworded by Flint Sallow

Bodhi was a cool person and had detail to him, I really liked him that he won his fight against Jasinta but sadly died before he could reach the crown. Thank you Emily3THG for him who was a cool tribute.

11 Place: Flint Sallow bled out from his stomach wound which Bodhi managed to do before he went down

Flint was really close to surviving but sadly I debated to either have Tatter or him to survive which I chose Tatter because I liked him and didn't do his POVs justice but he really was a cool tribute and the fact that he lasted until 11th Place was really excellent for him but sadly he bled out. Thank you BubblesOfTheNine for him who was a good tribute.

It's been a wild ride for this and now there's going to be an epilogue for this story and that's it out of this book. Thank you for sticking with me and I'm glad I was able to properly finish this story. I hope you read the next book in the series called Revenge but I'm going to rewrite the first chapter but that's where it would be a lot of action going on.
