Its not over until the Mockingjay sings - F. Odair

Chapter 15

Lea found a cave, where had stayed for the rest of the day after Louis died, she just cried the whole day and had no energy to fight. She also couldn't sleep because every time she tried closing her eyes, she saw his death over and over again. 

She spent her time just sitting in the cave, plotting how to Finish the game. Only three more left beside her. She also got a ton of sponsor gifts of which she only ate and drank the food within them. She didn't bother to look at any of the notes within the boxes cause she couldn't handle any supportive notes from Finnick at the moment. 

It was now the afternoon of the seventh day in the games and she just wanted to get out so she got out of her cave. She didn't want to kill more people but the sooner they were dead, the sooner that she could go home. That was unfortunately the harsh reality that she had to live with. 

As she was walking in the forest, she came across the girl from 7, who tried to run away from her but before she even had the chance to run away, Lea tackled her to the ground and hovered over her. "Please just do it quick, don't make me suffer anymore," The girl pleaded, this distracted Lea and before she could reply, the girl kicked her and suddenly she was sitting on top of her. "Stupid of you to underestimate me 4, you were too slow," The girl from 7 said. "And you are a bit too arrogant," Lea said as she flipped them around, making Lea sit on top of the girl and slamming her knife into her heart and stomach. And then the loud sound of the canon went off. She already knew that that sound would haunt her for a long time.

There were only 2 more left now excluding her. The girl from 9 was left and then Charles. The girl from nine wouldn't be a problem but Charles was going to be a challenge. 

She knew that towards the end of the games, the game-makers encouraged them to go to the cornucopia and if they didn't go voluntarily, they would send some kind of muts into the arena such as wolves or another kind of threatening animal. Lea didn't want to get forced out of the forest with the chance of already dying before she even got to the cornucopia. So she got up to make her way towards the cornucopia. But when she looked down and saw the pool of blood that the girl from 7 was lying in, she immediately thought back of Louis' death. How he was lying on the ground, with his own blood pooled around her, and how she was unable to help him.

"It's not Louis, It's not Louis," Lea muttered while closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. She was on the verge of a Panic attack and that couldn't happen right now. She had to focus, two more tributes to take out and she could go home, to Finnick and her Family. She played with the bracelet around her arm, the one that she got from her grandma. That was another reason why she really had to get back, Her grandma, who taught her almost everything she knew. Her grandma was her biggest inspiration in life and If she was able to win the Hunger Games, so was she. Being a victor is in her blood after all. She took one last deep breath before making her way to the cornucopia.

When she got to the Cornucopia, she was the first one there. She was patiently waiting, until the other 2 would come out of the woods. In the grass surrounding the Cornucopia, she saw a small snake. It was a blue corn snake, a friendly one. People often assumed that all snakes were dangerous but some of them would do you no harm if you treat them well. This was one of them. Even though the snake was not dangerous, she could still use it to her advantage to scare Charles cause he had no idea about which snakes were dangerous or not. She took the snake and held it in her arms when she heard howls coming from the woods. They must have released a pack of wolves into the woods to get the remaining tributes out. After about 10 minutes, she finally saw movement. Charles was running from the wolves and the District 9 girl was running behind him. Charles made it out of the woods, but the girl from District Nine was not fast enough and was bitten to death by two wolves and the canon went off. As Charles entered the grass field in the middle, the wolves stopped cause they couldn't get behind the forcefield. When he was coming her way, she hid the snake behind her back. 

"Well, well Four. I had a feeling that it would come down to us two. You were my biggest competition after all," Charles laughed. 

"I wouldn't laugh if I were you, I'm equally as strong as you are," Lea replied. 

"Don't make me laugh four, you might be skilled with your knives but you are not nearly as good as me," Charles said

Lea had to be careful cause she only had 2 knives left so couldn't miss. The two were standing about 3 meters apart. Charles was the first one to attack and threw a knife at Lea, which she caught. Charles threw another knife right after, she tried blocking it but it still hit her in her shoulder. 

"Just give up already four, you will save us both some time," Charles said as he moved closer to Lea. Lea pulled the knife out of her shoulder and threw it back at Charles, he tried jumping away but the knife still hit him in his leg. 

"You bitch, alright, I'm done playing nice, this was a nice game but it's over now," Charles said as he moved very close to Lea. 

What Charles didn't know was that this was Lea's plan after all. First, She was going to miss her shot and appear weak so he thought that he could easily win. While throwing the knives with one hand, she was still holding the snake but it was hidden in her coat. 

He grabbed her by her shoulders and slammed her into the cornucopia but before he could slam his knife into her heart, she said, "Please make it quick, you have already won, there is no use in making me suffer any longer," Lea said. 

"Well, where is the fun in that Four," Charles laughed. 

"Look at my face, this is the last face you are ever going to see, You were never going to win," Charles said as he stared down at the weak girl below him. "You thought that you could flirt your way to the top but being pretty is not going to be enough now," Charles chuckled. 

"Although it is a shame, to kill such a pretty face but I am so going to enjoy doing it. My mentor told me not to underestimate you," He snorted. "But I think that she overestimated you, everybody did, everybody saw you as the perfect little girl from 4, with the perfect score but you know what I see, I see a weak spoilt girl," Charles laughed

"You know what my mentor said about you?" Lea asked as Charles raised his eyebrow in confusion. "He said you were an arrogant fool, well I guess he was right," Lea said as she took the snake from in between her jacket and put it under his t-shirt. Charles immediately screamed, losing his grip on Lea on falling to the ground. Lea walked over to him and put herself on top of him. 

"You should have killed me when you had the chance Charles," Lea said as put her knife right in his heart, pulling it out and putting it in again. She was so filled with rage from everything that he said that she was taking it all out on him. She then got back up and the cannon sounded. 

"Ladies and Gentlemen!" Claudius' voice echoed around the arena. "May I present to you the victor of the 69th Hunger Games, The female tribute from District 4, Lea Miller,"

She had won, she had really won. She was going to see Finnick and her family again. 

After a hovercraft picks up Charles' body, another one appears and releases a ladder down to her. She climbs up the ladder, pulling her up into the hovercraft as she takes one last look at the arena. She had won because of everything that her Grandma taught her, without her knowledge of all different kinds of snakes, she probably wouldn't have won. She owed her life to her Grandma and now that the games were over, it was time to deal with her lovely Grandfather, President Snow.
