The Last Nexus Hunger Games|| A Fanfiction for The Pack

Lachlans POV

I clung hold of the iron sword and looked at the oppolents. A poem my mother taught me flew through my head.

All of the pain, far in the past, but echoes of screams, forever will last.

I had no clue what it meant but I loved it. It felt relevent. Thinking of home never used to bother me, but now, with the knowledge that I may loose it all, it just made me mentally break down. Mat had another arrow lined up, so I took the chance and started sprinting towards them. Teeth clenced, I struck Ryan with a hefty blow to the shoulder ((Hehe, bit like my injury right now......)) quickly followed by a stab in the legs. His leather trousers not much to get through. He flaied around, trying to hit me. "Stop trying to hit me and hit me." I gloated. He narrowed his eyes and leapt towards me. His diamond sword sparkling, he came down heavily on my scar from before. Pain spread across the area and I fell to the ground. Mat laughed. "Vikklan finally beaten, this is a good day." He cackled.
"I'm not beaten yet!" I hissed, jumping back up and picking k up the sword. I knew Ryan was weak, so I targeted him. I remembered all the training Vikk had given me and smiled. Quick as a flash, I ran behind Ryan and pushed him onto the blade of my sword, killing him on impact. I smiled. "Not so tough now, aye Robot?" I said. He narrowed his eyes and aimed at Vikk, who was drifting in between consciousness. He laughed and let the arrow fly. Suddenly, everythinv went into slow motion. I was stuck in postion ss the arrow hurtled towards him, the love of my life. I tried to yell our, but all that came put was a little squeak. It couldn't end like that? Not that quickly. The arrow embebbed itself into Vikks chest as he gasped with the sudden pain. Everyone I was close to was gone, or going. I couldn't cope. I just crumbled as I ran back over to him. He was deathly pale.
"N-n-no! This isn't real! I'm dreaming!" I stammered, holding his head. I finally saw light in that silly little rhyme.

Just like balloons, they soar on their own.
Finally free from the pain of their home.
And just like ballooons, that no one will hold
Free from the truth
That no one will hold.

Tears were streamimg down my face by now. He reached out and pulled me in closer. "Give a dying man his final wish, Lachlan. Please." He whispered. I nodded and brought him in for a final kiss, a long one that was over too quickly. He died in my arms. He died because of this. He died, because of Mat. So he needed to pay. With a new fuel to my anger, I rose up and kissed Vikks cold forehead. Ryan's diamond sword was within my reach. I grabbed it and charged towards Mat. His weak spot was his right arm, his robotic one. I just needed to deactivate it and the battle would be half won. I leapt at his arm and started to pull at it. "Hey hey! This must be foul play!" He cried.
"There is no foul play." I hissed and pulled it off.
He gasped. I looked around to make sure that it was defiantly shut down. I read a little engraving

Only for use if patient has incountered deadly amounts of poison through his arm to disconnet the blood supply.

I looked up, shocked and scared. Mats eyes were glazed with tears. "What's this about?" I questioned. He shook his head.
"I'm fudging dying Lachlan! The poison was already further than they thought. If I win this, im only gunna die a few hours later." He said. I jumped back. This was too much.
"Lachlan, if you were any kind of friend, you'd kill me." He growled. I sighed and lifted up the sword. He braced himself. I waved and brought the sword down heavily on his neck, slicing his head of in one full swoop. Immediately, fireworks exploded around me. Two men with white suits came up to me. "Well Done! Youve won." One said, cheerily. The other had a remote control. He clicked a blue button that flashed up a video of a cell. Within it, was all of my friends. Vikk, Mitch, Rob, Preston, Jerome and Ryan were there. I couldnt help but notice Mat wasn't there. "Pick one to release, the others. We keep for the next." The taller man with the remote said. "Where's Mat?" I questioned. The two looked at each other. "He didn't exactly make it. The poison was too much, we had to.....put him down." The one with the clipboard said. So he wasn't lying. But, he didn't make it... I sighed.
"So, who ya pickin?" The man with the remote said. I pointed at Vikk and they nodded and walked away, back into the darkness. Soon enough, they threw Vikk out and he fell, face first into the mud. I smiled and ran up to him. I picked him up and spun around with him. "Hey, hey, hey! Easy there!" He laughed. I smiled and put him down. We both sighed and flopped down. The poem still rung in my head.

Now the party's over, and everyone is red.
I feel sick to my stomach
Or am I sick in the head?

I spoke it out loud. Vikk smiled and laid his head in my chest and quietly fell asleep. I looked down and smiled. My thoughts spiraled to the others. Jerome and Mitch, Preston and Rob, finally reunited.

So many years
So many dark memories
So many fears
We've now put to ease.

Tears formed in the corner of my eyes. The poem was so sweet. Vikk looked up at me and smiled. "You did great, the final battle." He said, smiling. I nodded. Killing was still wrong. I felt terrible for killing Rob, Ryan and Mat but, after all, they were still alive, except Mat. I remembered his arm.
"So where's Ma-?" Vikk started. I pointed to the arm and looked down. Vikk was perplexed, but picked it up and read the engraving. "Oh..." He gulped and looked down. "You did the right thing, Lachy." I nodded and sighed. It wouldn't have been that bad if I had lost. It was just the rage. The feeling of hurt when you loose a loved one. But, alas, it was over.

Well, that's all folks
The games are over and Vikk and Lachlan walk free. The rest, well, who knows?
Maybe a sequel is in order???

This chapter was my first ever over 1000 words chapter. All cos I was bored at my grans....
Plus, I thought it would be good.

Also, earlier I mentioned I hurt my shoulder. It was only a horse riding accident.

Now I'm gonna be focusing on my Vikklan FanFic, Secrets and Lies. First chapter is out and I'm doing a thing where, as soon as, or a little after, the latest chapter has reached 20+ reads, I'll post the next one.
