The Winner Takes it All

Clever Fox

Finch P.O.V

After stealing a few more supplies from the Career pack, I notice a parachute falling and quickly run over to it. Catching it before it hits the ground, I read the note on it and make my way over to the cave as silently as possible. Entering the cave, I look over the the unconscious body of the girl from District 4. I open the container and take out the needle and thread for the injury she received during the Bloodbath. Her Tracker jacker stings are so small now. Good thing I followed the girl from District 11 and saw what leaves she was using for District 12's tribute. 

A cannon firing suddenly snaps me out of my trance and makes me realize that now there's only 11 of us left. I still can't believe I've made it this far!! I could actually win this!! I take a few bites out of the dried beef that the girl left me the day I saw her fishing. Never in a million years did I ever think that I'd be helping a Career get better. I take the first-aid kit out of her bag, and remove her bandages; realizing that she did a decent job treating the wound the best she could. I sterilize the needle and begin to stitch up the laceration, thinking about when I stumbled into this cave.

I see the girl from 4 running as she's being swarmed by Tracker jackers and understandably screaming in pain then stopping at a tree and staring at it in sheer horror. Then she turns to face me and starts running again as the Tracker jackers finally leave her when a cannon fires. I watch her necklace get caught on a branch and she tries to keep free herself and eventually breaks the chain, leaving it behind. When I try to reach her, she gives me a terrified look before she falls to the ground and goes silent.

I spent the entire day dragging her to a cave that was very close to where she was, and take out a sleeping bag from her backpack and put her on top of it while I look at the sky to see the girl from District 1's face. 

I then get ready to go back to the stockpile of supplies that the remaining Careers are hoarding. Why did the most useless one have to be the one to die??? Why couldn't it be one of of the ones from District 2. I make sure the coast is clear before I sprint back to the stockpile, I have to get there before the girls from 11 and 12 put their plan in action. I notice smoke and realize that they have begun their plan and watch the Careers running towards the source, careful to avoid the landmines that the boy from District 3 somehow managed to activate.  

Once the coast is clear, I carefully run around the landmines up to the pyramid and open up my bag, taking a few more items and start running back to the cave, when I misstep and yelp; expecting an explosion. When it doesn't happen, I start running again with a new sense of relief careful to avoid the boy from District 3. Just as I get to a secluded area, I hear the explosion and not long afterwards, a cannon. I start laughing as I sit down and pick up another handful of dried beef, watching the explosion and frantic Careers looking for the culprit. Then the boy from 2 knocks the spear out of the hand of the boy from 3 and then angrily and swiftly snaps his neck.

Once I arrive at the the cave, I put the new supplies down and make sure the the girl from District 4 is still okay before taking a bite of an apple and feeling a sense of pride knowing that I made it out of there without being seen by the Careers.  I then look out at the nice view we have and hear another cannon fire. Three in one day, guess I'll see who those three are later tonight. I wonder if she'd be willing to form an alliance with me now that the Career pack must have come to an end now that we're down to the final 8. Another cannon fires. 7. 

So 4 and I are obviously still alive, that leaves the boys from 1, 2, 10, 11, and 12 and the girls from 2, 11, and 12 that could still be alive. Just then, Claudius Templesmith's voice is projected throughout the arena.

"Congratulations to our last 6 contenders! There has been a change in rules. Both from the same district may be declared victors if they are the last two alive. Good luck to all!"

Shit, so now I really have to be careful of Districts 2, 11, and 12. I then hear another voice a bit farther away. 

"Peeta!" The girl from 12 yells as she runs past the cave, looking for who I assume is her partner.

I hear groaning and turn to look at the girl from District 4 as she wakes up.
