I don't wait and fight. I grab Aqua and run.
Canon shots go off in the distance but I don't look up. I have Aqua's hand in my own and that all that mattered.
I stop. Standing in front of us is a bloody Adrian.
"Leo's dead. So is Sage and Austin" he says.
"Sage killed Leo and Austin then I killed him" Adrian walks towards us, limping.
"Austin..." I hear Aqua whisper.
Suddenly Adrian pulls out a gun. "My sponsors love me!" He says pointing the gun at Aqua.
"Should of killed you when I had the chance" Adrian says, pulling the trigger.
I don't know what came over me but I jump in front of Aqua, the bullet striking me in the shoulder.
The last thing I see before I black out is Taria setting Adrian of fire with a Molotov. Aqua would be safe.

"Do you think he'll be okay?" I hear Aqua say.
"Its only a small wound" Taria explains.
I open my eyes and look up at the two girls staring down at me.
Aqua sighs. "Thank god you're alive."
I smile, but I have to tell Taria about Sage. They were close friends.
"Taria... Sage is dead" I say.
"I know" she sighs "I watch the Leo Sage battle unfold. Sage had barely won against him and didn't have much time before Austin and Adrian came storming in" Taria explains.
"That's when I saw you on fire and people rescue you. But I couldn't leave Sage. He managed to kill Austin, but Adrian was too powerful. I followed Adrian in hopes to kill him. He led me to you" Taria explained.
"Thanks" I say. "Who else is left?" I ask.
"Well Adrian, Aria, Tori, Cance, Candy, Leo, Leah, Lee, Sage, Capri, Cade, Austin and Peter are dead" Taria
"That leaves:"
~Ian (District 3 Male/Taurus)
~Gem (District 5 Male/Gemini)
~Mini (District 5 Female/Gemini)
~Val (District 7 Male/Virgo)
~Vivi (District 7 Female/Virgo)
~Libby (District 8 Female/Libra)
~Sam (District 9 Male/Scorpio)
~Sky (District 9 Female/Scorpio)
~Taria (District 10 Female/Sagittarius)
~Aqua (District 4 Female/Aquarius)
~Penny (District 11 Female/Pisces)"Okay so the 3 of us are here. That leave 8 of them out of there. I know how to kill some of them" I say.
Now that Sage was gone, I was left to come up with the plans.
"Later tonight we head back to the cornucopia and dig out the explosives. We then surround the cornucopia with them. Anyone who approaches the Cornucopia will be blown to shreds" I say.
"Why we wait, I want to have a funeral" Taria says.
"For Sage and Tori" She smiles.
"What a great idea!" Aqua giggles.
