DANNY'S POV

23:49, day 8

I knew that time was running out before we would've turned on each other, career vs career, yet still I did nothing. It had been over a week since we entered the arena, and we were all still standing, every last career, not one of us was dead, but that was about to change. I was about to change everything, the weakest would have to go first, then all the girls, then Hamish.

It was dark, very late at night, and I knew it was time. I grabbed my knife, along with one of the many spears, and crept over to where maddy and Josh were sleeping, then, without making a sound, stabbed them both in the back, then I crept back to where I slept, then the canons went off, everyone awoke and jumped out of their sleeping bags, then Ellie screamed, she was shaking from head to toe, pointing a quivering finger at the two dead bodies that once belonged to our allies in District 6, we moved them out to by the river so they could be collected by the hovercrafts, then we returned to dreamless, quiet sleep.
