Cassia stood, dropping the dying Daniel to the ground. "Why? Because I can't let you win. You're really the only one who truly stood in my way. What would've happen if we were the last two left? I'm injured now, I couldn't count on you to let me when once it was just us. You made the mistake of trusting me Daniel. I'd never feel the same way for you as you felt for me. And here's why I'm going to win: because I don't care who I hurt as long as I get me way." With a smile, she watched and waited for the cannon boom.

Joshua couldn't help but feel nervous. That girl was still out there, and she obviously wanted them dead. "W-we'll have to prepare then." Joshua said. "We.. we have to do something. We can't just wait for her to come for us..."

Daniel Hoover ~ District 1 ~ Male ~ Heterosexual ~ Age 17 ~ Forest ~ Tags: Cassia

He groaned, everything felt so painful, and that's when he realized...Everything Cassia did, was nothing but lies...Every smile, every second, every breath...There was nothing, but a murderer...Oh god, he was wrong...This was the moment when Daniel realized that murdering all those kids was the wrong decision...And now, he was to die by the only person he thought he could trust. Drowsily closing his eyes, he took his last breath, before falling still. The cannon was much louder this time, booming across the arena...

Kyra Croft ~ District 6 ~ Female ~ Bisexual ~ Age 16 ~ Forest ~ Tags: Joshua

"...I'm so tired...I can't force myself to move right now..." She rasped, hearing the cannon. For a second she was relieved thinking it was Cassia, but...Remembering there was other tributes, and how strong Cassia was, she realized that couldn't be the case at all. Hugging Joshua tighter, she just wanted nothing but comfort right now, and sleep.

Cassia couldn't help but chuckle at the stupidity of her once ally, and she felt no remorse when the cannon shot sounded. Cassia was a smart girl, it wouldn't be advised to stay here. There were 6 tributes left besides her. 2 were the pair for 7 who wold be out for her blood, and two were the pair they just came after who would also be out for her blood. And she had no idea who the other two were or where they were. And here she was sitting by the Cornucopia in a wide open field with a dead body. She was reliable, she could move camp.

Finding the backpack she used earlier, she stuffed two water bottles inside, her rolled up sleeping back, food, and the first aid kit. Then she strapped three knives to the outside, one was Kyra's that Daniel had been hit with, the other was the one she had stabbed him with, and the third a new shiny unused blade. Then she took her axe and placed the new supplies at the edge of the woods. They still had some gasoline left, and Cassia made work of dousing the rest of the Cornucopia loot with it. She couldn't take it all with her, but she wasn't going to let the other tributes get it. Throwing a match into the pile, she strode off into the woods, not looking back as the supplies erupted into a huge bonfire.

The stillness of the woods would normally have been eerie, but Cassia found it comforting. She was alone, that was truly how she liked to work, axe in her hand and full backpack protecting her. She was going to win the Hunger Games.

Joshua nodded, he understood, so all he could do was hold Kyra close and try his best to reassure her. When a cannon sounded, he was unnerved. "That makes seven..." He murmured, he had never expected to make it this far, it was quite scary actually. Hugging Kyra tightly, he told himself that he wouldn't do anything but live in the moment, he had to stop dreading what lay ahead.

Kyra felt the darkness around them, it was really late at night now, the stars shining above the two tributes. Any moment the gamemakers would make an announcement and show the dead tributes. But for now, Kyra wasn’t focused on that, she was focused on cuddling Josh. Her head laid on his chest, and she felt so sweet and fragile in his arms. She kept one eye open, looking up at him.

Cassia had set up camp in a small wooded clearing. With only six other tributes left, it was unlikely any would be in her area, as from what she had seen the forest took up most of the arena. However some of it was charred, and the forest seemed to be a good place for mousy little tributes to hide. She had set up her stuff earlier, then went about collecting deadly berries around the woods. She used two rocks to grind them into a paste, making sure that none got on her hands. Cassia then covered the blades of her weapons with the dark pulp, knowing that she now would poison whoever she came in contact with. With her back to a tree, Cassia would be staying up all night. Covering her backpack with stray bark, placing the three knives in a hollowed out log, and finding a small sinkhole to hide herself in, Cassia felt prepared. Her sleeping bag kept her warm enough for when night began to fall and the air got cooler. She also had her axe beside her, not to mention the bracelet secured to her wrist. If anyone came for her they'd be dead meat.

Joshua was just about to doze off, although he didn't want to. Cassia and Daniel could be back, wanting for blood. With a shiver he remembered being chased through the trees... Holding Kyra tight, it suddenly sunk in that there was almost no chance of them making it out alive. Tearing up, Joshua looked down at her. "Kyra I... I don't want to lose you..."

indentationBenji let out a deep breath to calm himself. "Y-yeah I can do it. C-can you..just wait in the shelter please. I'll be there soon and we can figure out what our next move is.." The cannon went off again and Benji jumped. He took Melanie's body from Juniper, he felt himself breaking down all over again. He looked into her face and saw that her hair was sticking to it. He gently moved it away like he use to, as a way to comfort her, but there was no comfort now, just closed eyes and dead weight. Tears started to well in his eyes once more. He nodded to Juniper and started to carry the girl down to orchard blossoms. The walk was silent, and solem. Benji got to the blossoms and he laid the girl gently down under the most beautiful tree he could find. He gathered some wild flowers and put them in her hands, as he folded them across her chest. He sat next to Melanie. A song his dad use to sing him when he was baby came to his mind. Softly he sang the words:

" Lay down your head and I'll sing you a lullaby
Back to the years of loo-li lai-lay
And I'll sing you to sleep and I'll sing you tomorrow
Bless you with love for the road that you go

May you sail far to the far fields of fortune
With diamonds and pearls at your head and your feet
And may you need never to banish misfortune
May you find kindness in all that you meet

May there always be angels to watch over you
To guide you each step of the way
To guard you and keep you safe from all harm
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay

May you bring love and may you bring happiness
Be loved in return to the end of your days
Now fall off to sleep, I'm not meaning to keep you
I'll just sit for a while and sing loo-li, lai-lay

May there always be angels to watch over you
To guide you each step of the way
To guard you and keep you safe from all harm"


As he sang, he wept. The tears just fell freely down his cheeks. When he was done singing, he sat for a moment. Letting himself cry and mourn. Benji felt like he cried all he could, as no tears fell, but he still sobbed. He quickly wiped his eyes and took deep breaths. "Juniper still needs me." He reminded himself and got up from his spot on the ground. He casted one last sorrowful look at Melanie and went back to their little camp. "Juniper?" He called out as he approached. He entered the shetler and sat next to her. "She's in a beautiful spot."

Kyra Croft ~ District 6 ~ Female ~ Bisexual ~ Age 16 ~ Forest ~ Tags: Joshua

Kyra, despite feeling incredibly weak, managed to sit herself up a bit, pressed her forehead against his and feeling her own tears gently flow down her cheeks. "...If I don't make it out alive...Then...I'll be up in the stars waiting for you Joshua." She stared into his eyes. "...I would hope you would too..."

Cassia heard the sound of the panem national anthem blaring overhead. Oh horn of plenty for us all... oh horn of plenty for us all... The Capitol emblem was replaced with the stoic face of Daniel Hoover. A cackling laugh exploded from the trees and into the night air. Oh how wonderful it felt to see her former ally's face up in the sky. Following him was his district partner Ruby, which made Cassia exhale, so all the careers were gone except herself. Then little Ridley O'Riely, who she had killed earlier this morning. Next would have been Kyra, or one of the sevens if any of them had died of battle wounds. Unfortunately, the next face in the sky was the little Melanie Lana. Another one of Cassia's kills. Not really bothering to pay attention to the rest of the death recap, Cassia began to think about the rest of the tributes left.

Juniper wiped the tears from her eyes and staggered back towards their shelter. She couldn't believe that Melanie was gone... and all because of that horrible girl from district 2. Cassia deserved to die. Hands curling into fists Juniper shook with sobs. Suddenly, a gentle singing cut through the dying night air. Was that... Benji? Slowly, Juniper crawled from their hiding place, watching as Benji laid Melanie to a patch or blossoms. She listened to the words and dancing melodies of the song and felt her heart lift. She had never heard that one. When Benji returned, Juniper nodded solemnly. "That.. that lullaby was beautiful." She said, "I had never heard it before."

Joshua started to sob, not wanting to think about the possibility of Kyra not making it out alive. "O..of course I would!" He hated the situation that they were in, it made him sick. He and Kyra had finally found each other... and now it could all be taken away. "You have to win Kyra- you know that right?"

Kyra pondered what Joshua had just said, letting out a sigh. “...Everyone here has more of a future than I have. At district 6, I’m no one...No one cared that I was reaped, not even my family. They say I’m a disgrace to their name...Joshua Deerhorn meanwhile has a whole caring family back at home. So do the other tributes. And Cassia I’m sure has all the eyes on the Capitol. Kyra Croft though...She’s...Nothing.” Kyra held back her sadness, not wanting to have a panic attack with Joshua nearby.

hailey grinned cheekily. "yeah, only took you like an hour to do it." she giggled, hopping on her toes. suddenly a thought came to her, and she stilled, her happy expression quickly fading away. "kipper, i don't know how to fight. i'm good with a slingshot but that's not helpful in close quarters." hailey dropped to the ground, sitting cross-legged. "how am i gonna survive this?" the young blonde put her head in her hands, hiding her face.
