Chapter 7

Sunshine

An announcement boomed through the huge jungle arena, the remaining participants turning their heads toward the source of the sound.

"The survivors so far are: Yasmin, with three kills, David, with no kills, Lauren, zero kills, Aven and the Waters siblings. Seems like Yasmin is the favourite to win. Good luck."

The voice faded out, leaving the remaining tributes in a gloomy silence.

Yasmin's p.o.v

I smiled as the announcer said Lauren was alive. I was going to win, but I was gonna make sure that Lauren was going to as well. I'm not a soft person- not at all. But, after what Tommy or whatever his name is did, I feel like I need to protect someone.

I sighed. This was the last time I was going to protect someone, after this I was never going to fight again...

 David's p.o.v

I sat up, sighing. Closing my eyes, I listened to the fake breeze, the rustles of the branches- then hushed voices. My eyes snapped opened. I had a chance to take someone out! I grabbed my mace and shuffled towards the sound.

It was Aven, and a boy her age. Who is he? I know he isn't a participant. I gritted my teeth. Winning wasn't even important now but, I didn't really want to die.

I took aim and lobbed my weapon. It was a risk, but one I was willing to take. I heard it collide with it's target and breathed out. So far so good. Another thud indicated that the target had fell from the tree.

I strolled over and surveyed the body. It was the small YouTube girl, Aven. I sighed and pulled my mace from her fragile body.

I felt dull inside. Like I had died a long time ago and was only going through the motions of living. I blinked, realizing I wasn't alone.

Someone had swung down from the branch and the boy from before appeared. His little fists were clenched and he stared hard at the ground, eyes dark. He was really angry at what I had done, wasn't he?

"Why?" he demanded in a small voice.

I shook my head and almost laugh, "I don't know, Sonny."

He pierced me with a glare. A glare that hurt my eyes. HE wasn't angry- he was livid.

"DON'T SAY MY NAME," he screamed.

A circle of yellow flames jumped and surrounded me. Who was this boy? Was this a result of his rage?

I didn't even feel anything as the painful flames licked at me, bringing me the best blessing of all.

Death.

Sunny's p.o.v

I fell to my knees and sobbed. I had done it again. I went and did what I tried desperately not to. I lost control again and killed someone. He smiled as he died, like he was free of everything. Sometimes I wish I could die, get over the people I killed when I lost it- but of course I can't.

Aven can't either, but I know she hurts. She has to play dead and Scarlett- sama will rescue her and the Fifth Flame. It we be alright in the end.

I turned away and teleported back to base. I had done way toomuch damage already.
