Edgar POV

"Shoot-shoot-shoot..." I murmured as I forged a path through the thick forest--now that there were only six people left in the arena, the poison clouds were speeding up, and I was running away from it.

I halted immediately as I thought I heard someone nearby--but when no sound came blasting towards me , I moved forward warily.

Then, I screamed as a hand clamped around my mouth and a dagger was pressed to my back. But with the training I had done with Colette, I flipped backwards and kicked the dagger away, forcing the attacker to stagger back.

Taking advantage of their distraction, I lobbed a whole series of ninja stars at the person before I finally saw their face. Bonnie.

She growled before a loud boom resounded through the clearing, and her body disintegrated into nothing. She was dead.

I moved forward silently, and all was fine for one more second before the ground below me sunk in and a red beep flashed into my eyes.

A trap. Bonnie's revenge...

I shut my eyes as I was deafened by another boom, and I melted away into nothing just like the young girl...

I had failed my team...

Belle POV

I trudged through the dark, eerie forest as I wielded my rifle in preparation, hoping I wasn't going to get suddenly ambushed. Then, I halted my steps as I heard a crunch nearby--someone had broken a twig. I looked around, and finally I eyed a man making his way through a forested path nearby...hidden by a few trees.

Buster.

I lined up my rifle and aimed carefully, praying that I would strike him and kill him on the first hit.

I fired, and the bullet whizzed towards Buster. He was too near to have enough time to react, and the bullet hit him in the arm, making it bleed profusely. But he wasn't finished yet.

He whipped around and spotted me, hurling three daggers in quick succession, forcing me to roll away to dodge. From behind a tree, I eyed him as he scanned the clearing, firing bullets into the midst of the forest.

I needed one more hit, directly to the head. I lined up my rifle again before he spotted me, and deciding not to lose the moment, I fired twice. One of the bullets thudded into its target, and I watched as blood spurted from his wound before he completely disappeared.

I breathed a sigh of relief as I headed towards the centre of the arena, my rifle still in hand. The last ones left had to be Amber and Meg...and they were very dangerous, with their weird enhanced equipment.

I finally reached the centre, eyeing the Cornucopia as I settled down, watching for the two remaining enemies.

Then I screamed as a figure swung towards me from above on a tree, thundering bullets towards me. Meg.

I rolled away and fired back, but before I could do anything more, I felt metal wrap around my wrist and waist.

I whirled around. Amber.

I couldn't win this.

So I accepted my fate as the fire slowly consumed me, and I too disintegrated.

Amber POV

"WOO!" I cheered as Meg and I walked out of the arena, the final champions of the championship. Every other tribute who had participated in the battle was outside, waiting and clapping. Things had been quite difficult for me, but in the end it was so worth it to have the sweet taste of victory...something I would never forget.
