I jump out of the tree and land perfectly by Beatrice's body. I grab my trident and free it from her chest,then I put it down beside me. I then untangle Beatrice from the net, and sling the net across my shoulder. I pick up the trident and wipe the blood off in the grass.I look down at Beatrice's body, "One down, two to go" I say out loud.  "You know I could have killed you by now."  I quickly spin around and look at Scarlett. How did I not hear her walk up? "Then why didn't you?" I ask her.  "I think we both know why Finnick." She looks deep into my eyes,"You need me Finnick,and I need you."  I smile at her and start laughing,"Your crazy, I don't need you."  "Yes you do Finnick.We can't kill Brock singlehandedly,he's to strong.We have to both work together to kill him."  "And what happens when we both kill him?"  She looks at me then at Beatrice's body,"I think you know Finnick." I look at her then at Beatrice's body. I pick up my trident off the ground, my smile turns into a frown. "Your not going to kill me Scarlett."  "I'm not going to kill you baby,just think of it as allies for only one kill."I look at her and calculate the time for my trident to impale her and the time for her axe to go into my head. " So do we have a deal?" She says walking closer towards me, I shoot out my hand. "Stop" I tell her,"That's far enough."  "What's wrong?" She asks looking at the trident in my hand. "Where's Brock?"  "I don't know we split up to look for you, he said whoever found and killed you would live.But that's not an option for me,Beatrice is dead and we both need Brock dead for one of us to win."  "Well I hate to break this to you but.....I don't need your help." I raise my trident just as she brings down her axe above my head.The force brings me to one knee but I thrust back up,shoving her off.She flips the axe in her hand,trying to get a better grip on it for her next attack. I lash out with my trident which she blocks easily with her axe. She then pulls out a second axe and swings at my  chest.I step back so it misses and swing my trident at her legs.It catches her calf and she screams in pain,and falls to the ground. I raise my trident and try to bring it down on her head but she rolls to the right and the trident hits the dirt.She quickly gets to her feet, "Your so sexy when your mad Finnick." She swings her axe at my face, which I barely block. I grunt as I lash out again with my trident,this time instead of aiming for a kill shot I aim for her arm. The tridents blade slices her wrist perfectly and she drops her axe startled,she looks at her hand for a split second and looks back at me as I throw the net on her.She screams and falls on the ground and I pull back my trident. I throw my trident full force at her. The trident impales her midsection and she goes still. I killed her.... It's done, in all those years of living in district 4 I never knew this would happen,chosen for the games,killed and took pleasure in it,and one of the last two tributes to fight for the crown. I hear the cannon boom in the distance and smile. It's like the cannon is music.......music to my ears. I walk up next to Scarlett and remove my trident from her body.I then untangle her from the net and sling the net back over my shoulder. I realize the cameras must be all over me by now so I look up at the sky and grin, "I'm coming for you Brock."
