"Yes!" I jump into the air as soon as the drones knock the boy off of the stands.
Circ would be proud of the hack working... I think to myself. Ever since our time in the arena, we got really close, but to see him die in front of me, to see the snakes swarm him, it was just too much. It was his idea to hack the sponsor drones, I was just there to help him execute it. Since the beginning of the games, I always kept track of the remaining tributes, by using the boy from 11's tribute grave. There should be only three tributes left, maybe two. I'm so close to getting back home, so close to finally make it back to my family. I need to first check out if the boy the drones knocked over was actually dead. Maybe he survived the impact, maybe he didn't.
Just when I was about to walk over to his dead body, I felt a shadow creep behind me, then suddenly a painful pressure weighs down on my skull. Blood gushes down to my face like a waterfall- no, like a volcanic eruption. My jaw opened from the pain and I let out a scream of agony. I didn't have the life power to turn around to see my killer. Then suddenly everything went bright, like a white light, then everything darkens. Looks like District 3 won't be going home this year.
