The roots struck again, hitting the tributes in the chest.

Rhea backed away as Josh blocked her attack, but watched as a root came down and hit him. It was madness all around her, all three tributes fighting for their lives and the mutts attacking just as hard. The roots came down, whipping around in a frenzy attacking the three tributes mercilessly; the thorns slashing and tearing into flesh. Rhea watched as another root came darting towards her chest and she swung her spear up to hit the root off of its trajectory and stop it from hitting her. She then darted in between the flying plants and rushed towards Josh. She swung her spear up and side swiped Josh as she continued moving between the moving tendrils.

Skye saw the knife being thrown at him and he tried to duck and hit it away as he pulled backed another arrow, desperate for a hit. He could feel himself slipping away sometimes and somehow it increased his own urgency. But he forced himself to relax and pressed down his tensed shoulders before taking aim and letting it cut through the air in between him and Josh. Another of those roots jumped onto his torso and slashed at his chest and he didn't have any react time to that at all. He could feel the wound Rhea made from before burn up and flared of pain again. Skye gritted his teeth to prevent himself from letting out a shout and pushed the monster off of him as hard as he could. He quickly looked back to Josh before he could let him throw another knife at him when he noticed that he was getting weaker. Guilt threatened to take over but everyone's focus was being tossed around by the rampaging mutts, and Skye forced it all away. Kill or be killed, he wanted neither, yet the thought of her made the guilt manipulate into anger. Everything was just in a huge disarray, the arena, the mutts, the three of them, - and his mind was of no exception.

Joshua Faraday

Josh felt something overcome him. he knew he was about to die, he had to use his final resort. he pulled out the bottle full of water, the water that give tributes hallucinations. he steps away from it all and shows the bottle to the cameras and the capitol. he dips his knife into the water and quickly throws at skye, making sure the water stays on the blade. he throws it as accurate as he can. he then gives a small salute as he falls to his knees. he sees a light, he entered into it, seeing maria, as her hands touched to his face he fell down. josh was in a happier place. were he will never get reaped, or die, or get scared. just peace, and happiness.

OOC: i say farewell to josh, my most favorite character i have ever made. i hope you enjoyed his run, because i sure did.

A cannon sounded for Josh as his knife dug itself into his upper torso, it wasn't a lethal hit, or too damaging either, but the last stand of Josh proved useful as the hallucinogenics entered directly into Skye's bloodstream, very close to his heart.

Skye found himself seeing lots of brightness, and he couldn't feel the downpour that had begun. Megan was there, with the others, all the tributes except for him and Rhea were there as Josh appeared among them. They were watching, but were they really there?

The roots swung another attack at the tributes.

It was bittersweet as Josh fell and that cannon shot. He had been her last remaining ally, no friend, in this game and now he was gone. She hadn't killed him...but she was in a way responsible for it by attacking him. She had to push that back though, there will be plenty of time to grieve when I win and go home. First I just have to get there. She was so close, only one person stood in her way and he looked like he was barely alive. Rhea on the other hand felt fine, the only thing she could complain about right now was the tiredness that her body was screaming at her about. But the pure adrenaline that she was running on at this point would keep her going just long enough to end this. She would end this and be the one to walk away in the end, she just knew that she had to be the victor. Rhea would not let it be like last year, where the person who seemed to be in the most advantageous situation ultimately lost, she needed to keep her wits about her. She refocused herself and gripped her spears and ran forward. "Lets end this, now!" She swung upwards to try and deflect the hit from the roots, then in the same charge she brought it down onto Skye hoping for that one good hit. The one that would mean the end of the games once and for all.

Guilt was stabbing in his stomach as Skye saw Josh fall but he reminded himself, that it was for Megan. Before anything else, a knife was thrown at him in a split second and he didn't bother to suppress the shout as it dug right into his chest. He quickly pulled it out and dropped it on the floor while his eyes blurred his surroundings. He could feel his hands and hair getting wet, but why? He shut his eyes closed tightly and shook his head before opening them only to see worse. He clutched onto the fresh wound, not knowing what the hell Josh had done to him, not before his eyes were fixed onto a group of people. All of them were familiar faces. Every single one. He felt horrible for them all but somehow, he felt some sort of relief that they didn't have to suffer any longer than the last few tributes. Skye's eyes scanned through all of their faces; Chaos, Snow, Ashley, Heppa, Gemini, Brandon, Sky, Kaspar, Maria, Josh, Megan.

..Megan Megan Megan. All of their faces were blank, just staring at him. His eyes could only show a pained expression to the blank ones. But he stopped and stared directly at Megan. "..Megan?" He heard himself mutter out in a hoarse voice. Skye could no longer tell what was real or what was fake. He was losing grip to his conscience but he had to hang on. He didn't know what he was doing at all and he wanted to go up to them, it was like another chance to just meet them one last time. But something scratched him from behind and he didn't even bother to try and get away. Skye just didn't have the strength to. He fell on to his weak knees and tried to get up again. Everything else seemed to be blocked out as if it was only them. All of them with the blank stares.

He finally stood up and shouted, "What are you doing here? What are all of you doing here?! Get out of here already! The whole arena is falling apart, do you guys want to die a second time?!" What was he saying? How could someone die again? He himself didn't even what he was spouting out, but he didn't want them anywhere close to here. He didn't want Megan here. To see all of this, or to see him succumb to death sooner or later. He gripped his hair in frustration as he closed his eyes and opened them again to see the same thing. He pushed back the stupid lump in his throat as he knew that his sister was watching. She was watching him turn into something so foreign, and somehow he just wished that Amaya would stop watching any longer.

Something else pierced through the thick whiteness and this time, Skye tried to duck and grab the wooden part of the merciless spear to drag it into the whiteness he was seeing. Skye could barely hear her as she shouted out something. End? He didn't want it to end. Not like this. But somehow, parts of him begged to differ screaming for it to be over. Skye pulled out his sword and randomly swung it in her direction repeatedly, hoping to just hit whoever that said for this to end. When it seemed to stop, he looked back at the rest of them still here. The desperation in his voice bubble down to sorrow as he stared at them, managing only one word, "...why?" Why were they here? They should be getting away from here, the place that could only cause all the nightmares to every single one of them. No one in the right mind would linger around this horrible place. But what did he know? Death was near his doorstep already, strolling across his yard. Why would he himself be in the right mind for anything.

The roots swing again, as the dead tributes form a circle around Rhea and Skye, though, only Skye could see them, their whispers got into his head "kill her!" they hiss harshly, egging him on. Megan's voice was among them.

Rhea felt the spear being pulled as she gripped on tightly to it. The last thing she needed was to lose her weapon right at the end here. Even if she did have a back up, this spear was special. She backed up from Skye as he started swinging his sword, not aiming and mumbling about something. It was like he was seeing something that she wasn't. She remembered her own hallucinations and wondered if Skye was going through the same thing? It would make sense. I guess this is how Kaspar felt watching me. She said as she gripped her spear once more. She ran ahead, this time making sure to be as quiet as possible. He seemed to be alerted when he heard her speak last time so maybe she would catch him off guard this time around. She then ducked under the root that came thrashing by hoping it would miss her completely.

Skye noticed all of their movement. It was sudden since all they did before was just stare. But now they were all haunting him with their voices. Those voices he thought he'd never hear ever again. Another swipe from behind but Skye couldn't care less. His ears soothed at the sound of their familiar voices but the words they make up were killing him from the inside; Kill her. "Shut up," his voice was almost inaudible as he covered his ears and closed his eyes, trying to block out the awful noise. But instead it seemed to be playing like a broken record inside his head; Kill her. He shook his head as hard as he could, he didn't want to listen to the horrible sounds, but they kept going on and on and on; Kill her. "Shut up shut up shut up shut the hell up!" Skye shouted at them all as he opened his eyes to see a blurred spear come at him again, this time, seeing Rhea holding onto it. He tried to deflect it away with his sword and just slashed forward with nothing but frustration. He didn't want any more blood on his hands, but he wanted to go home so badly. The chaos made him forget about his numb arm. In fact, everything just felt numb.

The roots slowly retreated into the ground, leaving Josh's dead body. It was out of the way though, the two tributes were focused on one another.

Rhea's attack was blocked and soon enough she saw a sword coming towards her in a slashing motion. Rhea backed away and tried to deflect the sword hoping that maybe she could hit it away from him as well. That was when the roots started retreating, slowly slithering down the cliff side to the murky waters below. This was it, it was down to her and Skye. And if the victor was going to go home they were going to need to kill the other in order to do so. Rhea refocused herself and tried to watch Skye's very haphazard movements. She swung her spear, gaining momentum in the process and used that to bring down a hopefully strong attack on her opponent.

The voices continued to scream at him and he had to think of something else to block it out. Anything else would do, but he didn't know what. Skye backed off a few steps and clutched onto his head as it throbbed in pain with the same words. He took a moment to try and channel them out but he only had that moment before Rhea swung her spear at him again. He had to try and step back to dodge it before pulling out his bow and drew back an arrow at her. His mind wouldn't stop playing tricks with him and it was torturing to here them asking him to do it. To kill Rhea. Skye wouldn't even know if he was going to have a chance to do that even if he wanted to.

The arrow flew through the air and Rhea tried ducking and running towards Skye while he was busy with his bow. She ran up close to him and jabbed her spear forward. "Just die already!" She screamed at Skye in his drunken haze. Rhea just needed to hold on, she was so close to the end that she could taste it. Skye was weak and he was on his last leg, she just needed to keep up her attacks and try to block any attack he had towards her. She could do this, she just needed to remind herself that.

Skye didn't like those voices anymore than before. They are turning from the familiar voices he knew to something awful and ugly as they continued their chants. He pulled out another arrow and clung onto the notch while he kept is eye on Rhea. Among the chants of kill came out a word die. Skye looked up to see Rhea screaming those words at him. Between those two words, he'd rather not die. He tried thinking about his district, his sisters, the sea, anything but what the voices pressed on. He didn't reply to Rhea, he couldn't find his voice to do so, so he could only show and expression of pain but along with determination. The last arrow finally hit her, and it hit to him as well that, he could actually go home, back to the district of the sea. Skye tried to jump over the spear that swung towards his legs, praying hard that he could dodge it, and leaped backwards before pulling the notch of the arrow back and launched it at Rhea again. He wanted to see his sister once more, and when there's a chance, even if it was micro small, he had to take it with everything he got.

Skye dropped, the visions of tributes fading from his mind as he slipped into the light.

A hovercraft appeared over Rhea, picking up Skye and Josh's bodies and extending a ladder to her. "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I GIVE YOU THE VICTOR OF THE 28TH ANNUAL HUNGER GAMES, RHEA GLASS!"

The spear connected and Skye fell, his lifeless body slumped over in front of her. Rhea was speechless, unsure of whether or not he was really dead or if he would pop up and take her by surprise. She took her index and middle fingers and put them on his neck searching for a sign of life. She felt no pulse and that only meant one thing, he was gone. Rhea's first reaction was extreme happiness. She couldn't help but break into a little jig in celebration. She could hardly contain how she felt. It was as if that last hit also broke open the door to every emotion Rhea had felt and everything started to pour out of her. Happiness, sadness, regret and guilt overwhelmed her. She then looked to Skye, knowing that she should at least give a farewell to her last opponent. She knelt next to him, "I'm sorry Skye, we started as allies and somehow it came to this. I wish everything was different, that maybe neither of us got reaped and forced to participate in these games." She stood up as the hovercrafts started moving in to claim the bodies and pick her up. The wind blew underneath her picking up dust and soon a ladder dropped down in front of her. The loud booming voice announced that she was the winner and she took one last look at the dreadful arena that had somehow become so familiar to her. Not much was left of it, but it was like she could still see it perfectly. She turned around before grabbing it, saying one last piece "This was for you Kaspar. And Roe....I'm coming home." She smiled as she grabbed the ladder and soon was swept away, back to the Capitol and all that awaited her there.

Subject: Re: There's a divinity that shapes our ends Sat Sep 01, 2012 4:25 am

He felt the spear head slash across his calf and Skye fell onto the ground, with absolutely no more power to get up. The voices disappeared as quickly as they came and everything became clear. He was dying. Skye's breathing became low and he looked up at the clouds that pelted rain onto him. "You win, now get your ass back home and live your life like you should," he could only make out a whisper to Rhea as he let the rain pour down on him. He was never going to see the sea, the boats, the district nor his sister ever again. How long has it been since it all started? He couldn't even remember the last time he was at the beach. He was so close to going home, but still so far at the same time.

His vision was soon blurred by the tears he held in for so long. He was dying, who cares if he cried? No one ever remembers second place. He didn't have to kill anyone anymore, he didn't have to live this nightmare any longer, and he wouldn't need to go through the pain anymore. But it all didn't compensate to the fact that he'll never see his sister. What was she doing now? Was she taking care of herself? Was she watching this? "Amaya," Skye looked up to the sky again, bringing out his most genuine smile even through the tears and muttered louder than before, "I'm sorry." He broke his promise to her to stay alive and he wanted to get that out. He gave her so much hope for so long only to destroy it all at the very end. Maybe he should've just died from the very start, then she wouldn't be suffering so much now. But he was glad that he gave it his all. She'd be able to do it, to pick herself up again, to be strong. He knew that she could do it, because she was him, his other half. He held on to the smile before he took his last breath and let go of the pain.

Rest In Peace Skye Walker, you were awesome from beginning to end. I'll miss you. Love ya, <3
