Opal carries on through the thick bushy environment the katana she had taken from Sophia was clutched tightly in her hands the teen did feel slightly bad for taking the item but it was better in her hands than any other tribute. Her mindset had completely changed, Opal was now determined to win the games if not for herself then for Sophia, the girl that saved her life. It had been a day since Sophia had met her fate and yet Opal still expected to turn and see the girl by her side, luckily for Opal inside Matt's bag were two large bottles of water he must have stolen them from someone. Last night three tributes had been displayed in the sky 'Matt Downtry District four' 'Sophia Ashley District six' and 'Avery Solace District eleven'. After an hour or so of aimless walking she discovers a flock of grooslings perched in the tree, she took out three before they even noticed what was happening.

Opal hoped to herself that someone watched her hit those birds with good accuracy, perhaps that could land her a few sponsors. She begins to gather sticks and makes a small fire not caring about the excessive smoke, in truth Opal was waiting for someone to find her, eager to show her skills with the throwing knives and perhaps even the katana. Claudius Templesmith's voice booms through the arena congratulating the nine people that are still alive, he began to speak that if the tributes didn't make it to the Cornucopia in the next hour then the trackers in their arms would detonate. Opal paused in her tracks rushing to gather everything into her small backpack, with a hurry she picked up her pace heading in the opposite direction she was initially going in. Her lungs burnt as the pain in her chest increased but she couldn't stop, if she was to die she wasn't going down without a fight. Two cannons boom catching her slightly off guard but atlas she continues.

Opal sits on the outskirts of the Cornucopia her eyes trained on her surroundings listening for any movement no matter how small it was, a twig snapped to her left making the girl spin her head just in time to avoid an axe that now planted itself into the tree next to her. Stepping back she threw a dagger at the district one girl's heart however the girl turned just in time to avoid the fatal hit, but the knife punctures her upper right arm. The District one girl hisses in pain and Opal seizes this opportunity rushing forward, katana in hand she slices the side of her stomach the District one girl dropped to the floor hands rushing to her stomach allowing Opal to get a clean blow on her neck. A cannon sounds off, there were only six of them left to go.

The brunette-haired girl travels closer towards the Cornucopia two figures slowly coming into sight, Opal drops to the floor using the tall grass as cover. They are the boy and girl from District two along with the boy from District one who seems to be distraught about losing his fellow tribute, his hands soon slam into the District two boy's chest who steps back and begins to yell a range of curses. Finally losing it the District one boy launches his spear into his ally making the girl next to him scream with horror, it takes her a moment to react as she attempts to stab him but ends up with a knife in her throat. Two cannons sound off, signalling that both tributes are dead.

"Liam," a male voice calls out from the bushes opposite Opal making the girl tense up, the District one boy spins around hearing his name "You killed my friend," he muttered in a low tone.

Liam laughed a devilish grin plastered onto his face "Come out and face me," he teased waving his arms in the air before taking the spear out of the other tribute's chest. Opal can't help but notice that a smaller boy sits close to the District three tribute, not making a sound she carefully watches where she places her feet making her way closer to him.

The District three boy comes out of the bushes axe in hand and lets out a small angry scream before rushing to Liam who seems unphased by the whole thing. Opal carries on getting closer inch by inch, she was now directly behind the boy who was completely oblivious the girl wondered what the people in the Capitol were reacting like now seeing that there were only four tributes left in less than five acres of land. In a quick movement, she brings one hand over his mouth while the other runs the katana across his throat, she mutters a quick sorry laying him down softly on the ground before the other cannon went off closely followed by the cannon of the boy she had just killed. Opal looks up and her eyes meet him, Liam the boy who had scored a nine, he tilted his head at her.

He grabs a tight grip on his spear swinging it harshly over his head Opal manages to dodge to the right, using her blade to slice the back of his knee causing the boy to fall. Using her knee she hit him harshly in the chin, blood sprays out of his mouth and Opal feels the need to gag as some enters her mouth. He hit the ground with a hard thud, not wanting to dirty her blade she picked up his spear almost laughing to herself before plunging it into his chest. The girl felt a wave of relief come over her as the blade dropped to the floor.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I am pleased to present the victor of the sixty-seventh Hunger Games, Opal West!" the familiar voice of Claudius Templesmith booms through the arena, Opal can't help the soft laugh of relief that escapes her "The tribute of District four!"
