Starve On Pixels

Chapter 12: Final Showdown

Natalie's POV

"BLEGCH!" I violently threw up all over Valerie. I knew that soup couldn't have been good for me.

Wait! Valerie?! I thought she died! Although I hadn't exactly been watching the dead tributes slideshow at night...

"Eew! You threw up on me!" Valerie shrieked.

"That's just disgusting," Sunny stepped out of the shrubbery.

I shrugged, "I have some water that I was using for soup if you want to wash off..." I handed her the pot of Helen soup. Not like I was going to drink anymore of that.

"Thanks for the water! Why are you being so nice to me?" I burst out laughing at Valerie's question.

"I'm not! You just washed off in Helen soup! Eew!"

"Wait- you put Helen in soup? Cannibal! Gross...!" she grimaced in disgust.

"That's actually pretty cool..." Sunny trailed off, "I mean- Eew! She was bloody!"

"Can I kill you now?" I asked. I was hoping they would just lay down and admit defeat- it would make everything so much less painful.

Sunny glared, "Step aside Valerie, let me handle this one." Valerie opened her mouth as if to protest then clamped her jaw shut and nodded.

"Little Val is too weak. How cute, a knight in shining lipstick has to save her!" I was hoping to bait her, but Valerie's face was stoic and emotionless. It was like talking to a wall- she certainly had the personality of a singing wall.

Sunny lept onto one of the beds that I'd just finished cleaning. I understood the urge to seek higher ground in a fight, but seriously? It'd taken all day to scrub the blood off of the sheets! Seriously though, who knew that Diana had so much blood, all she ever did was sing!

"I just cleaned those sheets. Please come back down," I didn't even want to know what kind of mud she was tracking in on her shoes. I shuddered to think about it.

"Shivering in fear?" Sunny tried to taunt me.

"Um... I was actually just thinking about how disgusting your feet must be. Your nail polish is so chipped," I smirked, "The colour poo brown compliments your personality though... "

Sunny growled, "YOUR NAILS WERE PROBABLY UGLY BEFORE THE HUNGER GAMES!" That was seriously the best insult she had?

"That was weak sauce, man," I did a slow clap.

Sunny lunged, and I sidestepped. Her axe slammed into the wooden floorboards that Nicole had tediously polished- I could only imagine her hilarious reaction. I grabbed Sunny's wrist and viciously twisted it behind her back.

"I'm a contortionist, you idiot!" Sunny dug her nails into my arm until she drew blood, "First blood."

I dislocated her jaw with a swift kick, the impact sent her spinning across the room. She licked the blood on the corner of her mouth and snapped her jaw back in place with a grimace.

"Second blood," I wiped my wrist on Valerie, who was standing patiently nearby. I was pleasantly surprised when she didn't complain.

Sunny lunged again and caught me in a chokehold. I twisted until I was facing her and punched her in the gut; she doubled over while clutching her stomach. I massaged my sore throat and panted. Sunny smiled sadistically. She tugged a twig out of her hair and shoved some red berries down my throat.

"You owe me more berries, those were supposed to be for my hair," Sunny laughed, "Not like you'll ever be able to pick anymore berries."

"Bye Cam," I felt my knees hit the floor.

Those with blood covered hands don't deserve to walk in the light. The darkness welcomed me with open arms. Like I said, I'd always have a place in the Villain's League.

Sunny's POV

"OMG! We are amazeballs! Did you see that?" I grabbed Valerie's hands and hopped around giddily.

Valerie laughed, "You're a nitwit!"

"Excuse me?" I had just killed Natalie. What was going on?

"Literally, my life is choking nitwits with some vines!" Valerie whipped out a vine and pulled it taut against my neck. I don't know if she squeezed tightly enough to make my head pop off. I certainly hope not- it would deprive the world of my perfect face. I really hoped that my face wouldn't turn purple when I died- it wouldn't go with my nail polish.
