So I had originally written something up here that I felt was pretty nice, but my computer wants to be a dumbass and delete everything. Yeah. So now I'm going to be blunt and say that I'm leaving fanfiction. I'm incapable of finishing a single story, which sucks. Like, really sucks. (If you want the full story, just head over to my profile, where I explain everything.) I'm not going to say that I'm leaving forever, but... Well, I just need to get my shit together. Because right now, I'm an undisciplined mess and I just can't continue the cycle of writing and losing interest 5 chapters later.

I'll be leaving this story up because I wrote a LOT for it, and it was almost complete, and it would have been cruel to leave you guys hanging. (And a little birdy messaged me a very...inspiring message, and I couldn't bring myself to delete this anymore.) So yeah. This is what would have happened if I had actually finished the story. Hopefully you guys enjoy, at least a little bit.

Day Seven:

No Deaths.

Day Eight:

8th: Tet has been torturing Ceres for all of yesterday. She's growing weaker and weaker, and the more the torture goes on, the more she feels like just giving up. But Tet, in his crazed state, hasn't noticed the knife hidden in her pants. When the moment is right, Ceres gives it her all to shove the weapon right in the boy's chest. She doesn't stop stabbing, even when the cannon is blown and her vision starts to blur.

7th: Eventually, Ceres can do nothing more but just lay on the ground, agony going through every bone in her body. Isabel sees the girl and quickly puts her out of her misery, taking Tet's supplies as she does so.

6th: The tornado is raging and doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon. Without any food, Eion doesn't have the strength to outrun it, and his cannon goes off as the wind tears through his body.

Day Nine:

Aeliana Devrine cheerfully calls a Feast. The Games will most definitely be ending today.

5th: Isabel and Adeline meet each other before the Feast. Both of them are exhausted and are slowly losing their minds. The raging tornado in the background isn't helping. The both of them fight—but Adeline, being bigger and stronger, manages to stab Isabel in the eye.

4th: Adeline can't take the fact that she's turned into a murderer, a monster. Saying goodbye to all of her friends and family, she stabs herself in the heart.

3rd: The Finale commences. All three tributes are ready for the Games to end. None of them show it, but they're all just sick and tired. Unfortunately, Kostos more than the others. Terrance belittles the boy on volunteering to "solve the void in his heart," and Kostos realizes that killing kids won't solve his depression. Nothing will. He ends up filling the void with his own sword.

2nd: The final two. Kaya is angry and emotional. Terrance is on edge but keeps up a calm, almost haughty facade. When Kaya attacks, livid, Terrance realizes just why the girl got an 8 as her training score. He's strong, too, though, and the both of them fight for the longest time. Any mistake will cost them. And Terrance, blinded by the rain and wind, hesitates—which leaves him wide open for a stab through the chest. He doesn't go down without one last attack, though. One last opportunity. He slashes Kaya right in her left eye, blinding it.

1st: Kaya Vause of District Eight, Victor of the Fifth Hunger Games. Unfortunately, the Games not only took the vision out of her left eye, but also her burning spirit. Her plan was to win and break the Capitol from the inside, but the only one broken is herself.

Congratulations to Kaya Vause, and congratulations to her submitter! She was my Victor since Day One, and I'm glad that I at least got to write a good chunk of her. :)

I'd also like to thank all of my readers, reviewers, and friends. You know who you are. I'm so very thankful for the support that you all give me, and I just hope that there may be something else for me in the future. In the far future. Right now, I need to find out what my problem is and fix it, but maybe...there will be something more from Jalen Kun? I don't know.

I guess I'm officially signing off. Hm. It doesn't feel like it. Maybe that's a good sign? Maybe it's not? Whatever.

Bai.
