there was a  roar and some whiles surrounding the both of us

"what was that" he asked

"that is the Finale" i answered there was a cannon and i looked up Thresh and Foxface were dead.

"let's go. only one too go" we carefully made our way to the cornucopia when i heard growls. i drew my arrow back ready to shoot when it all went quiet i lowered my  and looked over at Peeta who must have spotted something the next thing i knew he was being attacked by a mutt i drew and fired my arrow giving me time to pull him up and running off.

We ran and ran through trees and bushes. i looked back to see they were gaining on us and now there was more than one.

"come on Peeta" i grabbed his hand as we jumped over a log and onwards to the cornucopia he was now in front pulling me along.

"quick" i chucked my bow up and he gave me a heave up. once i was on i turned to help him and while pulling him up the mutts were trying for his ankles but i hauled him up. we stood looking down at them they were trying to get up. i screamed as i was pulled back to the floor.

Cato punched Peeta then came for me but Peeta tackled him i shuffled back trying to get my bearings before helping which i did but we were both pushed back. Cato gripped Peeta and threw him before going up and punching him. i scurried back now i was frightened but i wasn't going down without a fight i punched him then kicked him. i went to dodged a punch yet it was a ploy cause he grabbed my throat and forced me down.

 i struggled for breath i was either gonna die from strangulation or the mutts eating my brain. i was slowly slipping when i felt free and began to take large breaths before grabbing my bow and arrow threatening to shoot him. he had Peeta in a choke hold.

"go on shoot" Cato told me as Peeta tried to free himself "then we both go down and you win" he added. i was thinking of way to save Peeta and not kill him

"go on. I'm dead anyway....i always was right. i didn't know until now"  he then began to shout.

"how is that? is that what they want? huh!" i pulled further back going to shoot he laughed.

"no. no" Peeta struggled

"everything is going to be fine Peeta" i called

"oh sweet but i can still do this. i can one more kill, it's the only thing i know how to...bring pride to my district." i figure a way and i winked at Peeta who tried to nod. i aimed at Cato's hand and fired the shot it hit right on target shocking him and Peter punched him off the cornucopia. he was attacked by the mutts.

" Lilly! Lilly kill me please" that was the first time he spoke my name and it was only right for him not to suffer. i fired a arrow at his head instantly killing him. the two of us looked at one another as the Mutts backed off. There was the cannon signalling the final death.

"come here" Peeta whispered pulling me in and kissing me i sighed wrapping my arms around him as it turned into a hug. it got lighter and we slid down to the ground. we looked around wasn't somebody supposed to be collecting us?

"attention. attention tributes" i took out a arrow when i felt threatened "there has been a slight rule change the previous revision allowing two victors from the same district has been revoked. only one of you may be crowned. good luck and may the odds be ever in your favour." no. no this was not fair they can do this.  i turned round to Peeta.

"go ahead" i shook my head "one of us should  get to go home" i dropped my weapon

"no I'm not leaving without you" i went over and brought his head to mine.

"one of us has to go they need their victor" i shook my head

"no they don't" i digged into my pocket and pulled out some berries.

"no" he covered my hand

"do you trust me" he nodded i cupped his hand a let some berries onto his. he looked into my eyes.

"together?" he wondered

"together" i stated

"okay one" he stated and i moved some hair way from his face

"two" i said never leaving his eyes and he twirled a strand of my hair around his finger.

"three" we lifted up our hands

"Stop! Stop!" i stopped and looked up "ladies and gentlemen may i present the winners of the 74th Hunger Games" i dropped the berries and hugged Peeta. we're alive and we won i sighed. there was rumbling and we looked up to see our transport arrive.
