Mirabelle Goulding

Mira winced as her stake entered the career again. She wasn't supposed to feel this bad, but she did. Fighting was something that was a part of the Hunger Games, it was necessary, and yet, the girl would do anything to avoid it. Except die, she wasn't going down without a fight. Celestia had gone down with a fight, she decided. Even as the career fell, Mira was already looking around for something to place by her dead body. Like, a flower.

"I'm sorry," she whispered, her blue eyes skirting the dead, unmoving form of the tribute. Mira hoped that the death would please the Capitol, and that it would allow them to move on, even if the death wasn't easy. Then again, nothing was in this life; that was a fact that Mirabelle was just beginning to learn. Still, she looked for flowers to place on her before she was taken away.

A cannon sounded as Celestia's body fell. Sharpie let out a wail and fled, disappearing into the hedges. In the distance, there was a faint rumbling, the earth seeming to shake. But it seemed like the gamemakers were content to allow the tributes a moment's rest.

The boy from ten smiled sadly as the girl wished them luck and he responded, "Thanks Celestia...rest in peace..." He was about to close her eyes for her, but the hedges swallowed her up. So much for that. Travis sighed and sat against a tree, looking to Mira. "Guess this is it...one last chance to talk before we start trying to murder each other again..." He looked away for a second and then looked up, thinking. "Gotta wonder what's going on back home...if they think we're monsters now for killing someone...god I hope not..." He looked back down at the girl from eight, standing up and twirled the stake in his right hand, getting into a fighting position. "Best start fighting again though...don't wanna keep our Capitol friends waiting, right?"

Mirabelle Goulding

Mira shook her head as the girl's body was consumed by the hedges. She couldn't believe that after all this time fighting, it had come to the final four. She didn't know exactly who was alive, but that her alliance made up half of the tributes that were still breathing. She had made it too far to die now. She had gone to far to give up. However, she wanted out of the forest. It was all she had seen of the arena, and she wanted to get out. "There has to be a way out," Mira muttered, her eyes scanning the hedges for any movement.

The girl knew damn well that the only thing that could let them out was the gamemakers, but she didn't care. There had to be a way to get out, without actually fighting. "You have to get home, Travis, but so do I. I'm done fighting with you, we need to get out of here," Mirabelle said softly. She slowly walked to the edge of the plant barrier, running her hand hesitantly along the leaves, as if there was a break in it. "Even if you can kill me, I don't want to kill you, I won't," the tribute explained, a pained expression on her face. "There has to be another way."

The rumbling continued as the hedges went down, and the earth beneath the tributes’ feet tilted up, sending them and their dinos tumbling down the newly formed hillside.

Travis and Mira are sent to the Maple Tree. Please post in This Topic. Welcome to the Final Four![/color]
