It is time. We have been walking for hours, all of us ready to fight the careers. A cannon boomed this morning and I am hoping that is was Micro, because this could be the finale and if I make it out alive, I don't want to have to kill her. "Is everyone ready?" Alex asks.

"I am" I reply.

"Me to" Chip and Thorn reply at the same time. Chip has chosen the daggers because he is pretty fast and Thorn has chosen the spear, mainly because he is stronger than Chip.

I see the edge of the forest and can see the crater. As I am about to step out I see a silver parachute fly down. Attached to it is another axe. I am shocked when it does come down and can't move. So Thorn picks it up and reads the little note attached. "You will need all the help you can get. A" Thorn says. He hands it to me and I grip it in my left hand.

"Let's get going" I say, feeling a boost of confidence from the axe. I have a good chance at winning now. I no longer doubt myself. We get closer and closer to the hill that surrounds the crater, when a thought crosses my mind. "Stop" I tell them.

"Why?" Alex asks.

"Because, if we are at the top of the hill, we have a god chance at getting killed off by them. We need to bring them towards us" I tell them.

"So we need to make some noise, that easy enough" Alex said. Her face changes from her usual smile to an evil look, "You bitch" she screams and startles me. She tackles me to the ground and I am too shocked to respond. "Play along" she whispers. Now I get it, she is causing a commotion so the careers will catch us.

"Get the hell off of me" I shout my loudest.

"Just stop it" Chip shouts as he too clocks onto what we are doing. He grabs Alex by her arms and drags her of me. I jump and slap her across the face. She is stunned by then she smiles at me.

"Nice touch" she says and winks. I smile before going to tackle her, but then Thorn grabs me and holds me back.

"You killed him" I shout again. She knows what I am talking about and shakes her head.

"No, it was that bitch career" she screams back. I see in my corner on top of the hill. All the careers are standing there, minus Barian from 2. The boy from 8 seems to be leading them, which is strange, and he has a mace in his hand. Glitz has another axe which she must have found inside the cornucopia. Knives Chow from district 2 has a katana which is stained with blood. The final career, Glamour, from district 1 is holding a giant sword in his hand. All of them look like they are ready to kill us.

"They are here" I whisper and I do one last thing to draw their attention. I get loose and grab Alex by the hair, "I am so sorry" I whisper into her ear. She screams but nods the same time.

"Let's get them" I hear the guy from 8 yell. I let go of Alex and see them charging at us. I see Chip hold out his knives and Thorn holds up his spear. I pick up my axes that fell on the floor when Alex tackled me and Alex holds out her sword.

It is the 4 careers vs us 4 anti-careers. When they reach us, all hell breaks loose as we start fighting. I swing my axe at Knives head, but she ducks and cuts my arm with her katana. The adrenaline in me causes me to forget about the pain and just fight.

I am after Glitz and I see her fighting with Chip who is having a hard time against the blonde bitch. I run, duck under a swing of the district 8 boy's mace and then grab Glitz by her hair. She screams but I don't let go. I pull out my dagger from my belt and cut of her ponytail. She squeals this time.

"No!" she screams as her hands go to the back of her head. She swings her fist and I hear a crack as her fist connects with my nose. I let out a cry of pain as I feel blood gushing out of my now, broken nose. She smirks before tackling me to the ground

She pins down my arms with her legs and then smirks at me even more, "Looks like district 7 will be out of the running this year" she says as she pulls a knife from her belt. My eyes widen in horror, because this is how I am going to die. She killed Oak and now she is going to kill me.

"Maple!" I hear Chip shout as Glitz gets ready to kill me. I close my eyes, knowing this is the end. Pain radiates through me as her knife enters my left arm. The cold metal, digging deeper and deeper into my flesh. The cold comes and goes quickly and when I open my eyes I see Chip holding back Glitz.

She kicks and thrashes, but Oak is strong and she doesn't seem to be able to escape. I react quickly, I grab an axe and charge towards Glitz. I swing for her head, but she ducks and then kicks Chip in the groin. Chip lets out a moan and lets her go before falling backwards.

Glitz turns and throws her own axe. It is over in seconds. One second Chip is just getting up and the next he is on the floor with an axe in his head. Both pain and rage fill my body as I let out a scream and run full force into Glitz, tackling her to the ground.

I drop the axe and grab the knife. She doesn't have time to react as I pierce her flesh over and over again with the knife. Opening holes all over her beautifull body. She screeches, but this just gets me more excited. She deserves this. She killed Oak and Chip and now she is going to pay.

Her body jolts in all directions, making me fall off of her. I look to her body, all the holes leaking blood over the grass. I grab my axe and walk over to her. "This is for Oak" I whisper before raising the axe, aiming for her throat. With a thud, her head roles along the grass. And her cannon sound's off in the distance.

I look up to the rest who are still fighting. Alex is fighting Glamour, with a dead Knives lying face down on the grass with a deep gash in the back of her head. Alex looks pretty damaged, but so does Glamour. Both of their swords clash together, creating sparks.

I turn to see Thorn fighting the district 8 guy. 8 seems to be winning this, and I know I need to help out. I pull out my knife and run up behind 8 and jump onto his back. He is startled and starts thrashing around, but I hold on and dig the knife into his arm. Her lets out a cry before managing to throw me off. I fall onto the grass with a thud, knocking the wind out of me.

As I do this I see 8 come up to me and his foot connects with my jaw. He then starts throwing punches and my body becomes numb. Black dots fill my vision and before I know it, I am out. The last thing I hear is a cannon. I am dead.

A/N: OMG! Is this is? Is Maple dead? You will have to see in the next chapter.

Also, big thanks to 'CyanideMuffins7' who gave me a lot of help with this chapter. And thanks to all you reviewers who have kept me going through this story. What did you guys think about this chapter? Was the death of Glitz good enough for ya'll? Tell me what you think.

Until next time~
