Chapter 26
<Houston Taylor's POV>
Sparklez went out to patrol the area, leaving Cookie and I behind. I sighed. I was probably never going to get over Emily's death. I remembered Emily's words from earlier: "So even when I die, I'll still be with you, because not even death can separate us because I'm just that bad@$$ and you're just that important to me, so I'm gonna find a way to stay on this Earth and annoy you for a very long time. And just remember, we'll see each other again in heaven someday." I'm pretty sure Emily is looking over me right this instant. I look up at the holographic clouds and imagined Emily looking down at me with angel wings on her back. Yeah, she probably wouldn't have angel wings but whatever! Then I close my eyes to rest. I'm in an alleyway back at District 8. We were by the street I lived in but something wasn't right... I turn around and see the grim reaper smoking.Wait what? The grim reaper grins at me. " Hey, Houston! I'm comin' fo' that little sevvie gurl of yours, wuts hur name?" I was now really annoyed. "Hatchu be lookin' at? And my name not 'Houston', it be Haustin, and don'chu even THINK about messin' wit mah Emily, or we gon' fight, and I gon' pull out yo' weave. So you betta put out dat cigarette or Imma put it out fo' you." The grim reaper blew smoke at me and I storm out. Then I come back with a fire extinguisher and I spray the entire thing at his face,putting out the cigarette." cause we in the dun,dun dark, dark." I open my eyes and I was back at the arena.Cookie was messing around with her knife when we heard the leaves rustling across from us. We turned around and saw SkyDoesMinecraft walk out of the bushes. My heart skipped a beat. Oh no.... an older tribute with better weapons than us and more skill. I see Cookie's eyes widen. We just stare at Sky and he stares at us. I see him take a really deep breath and watch him grip tightly to his iron sword. Cookie and I stand up, Cookie with her knife and I with my fire knife. I just realized that we both have knives. Suddenly, Sky begins to scream and he runs past us and back into the forest. We watch as he disappears into the woods. "Okay then..." Cookie's voice raises as she looks in confusion at the woods. She smiles. "We scared him away! That's nice to know...right?" I nod. Yeah, it was good. Then I hear a twig snap behind me. I turn around and see TheBajanCanadian behind me, holding a sword. He stops and nearly falls down and I throw my knife at him. It missed him. I back up and from the corner of my eye I can see Bodil40 walking in front of Cookie. Mitch swings his sword at me but I manage to roll away with a cut on my cheek. It began to bleed. OH NO! I wipe the blood away and lunge for my fire knife. I grab it and hold it in defense. Mitch swings another attack at me and I catch it with my knife. We have a long struggle before I manage to push him away.
<Paranormal Cookie's POV>
Bodil40 comes out of the forest and runs at me. I hold my knife close to me and aim it at his heart. You can't do this.He has throwing knives remember? Then Bodil reveals a sword in his hand. He swings it at me and I manage to dodge it but I lose my footing and fall onto the ground. Martin raises his sword above me and I quickly roll away before he can kill me. He only managed to cut some of my hair off. I jump up and stumble back as Bodil keeps throwing attacks at me. I can barely see Houston struggling with Mitch. I take my knife and stop one of Bodil's swings. He tries hard to push his sword back but I put up a good struggle. Then, my hands gave away and I let go of the knife. It flew across the battlefield to where I can't reach it. I look back at Bodil who was grinning wildly. "I will end you..." he says as his eyes turn green. WHY DO THEY TURN GREEN?! He swings his sword at me but I manage to run away. I run into the forest and I can see a pond in the distance. Then I hear someone running behind me.
<SkyDoesMinecraft's POV>
As soon as I ran into the trees I make a sharp turn and head back to the middle. By the time I arrive, I see only Houston and Mitch. I sneak up behind Houston and ready myself. I had to do this. "I'm so sorry but I need to get home to Alesa." I whisper. Houston looks back at me, with her eyes wide in horor. I grab her by the mouth then pull her down to the ground. Mitch stumbles back and grins at me. I looked down at her and began to pity her. I saw a couple of nightlock berries a few feet away from me. I tell Mitch to make sure she stays there alive and I go out to get the berries. Then I come back and Houston growls at me. "Don't you dare..." "I'm sorry kid but I just want to thank you. I found out that you teamed up with LeeAnn and I wish things could be different." I stuffed the berries in her mouth and saw her eyes drain of any life. "I'm sorry..."
<Bodil40's POV>
I chase Cookie down to the pool of water. She looked like she was terrified and that she had run out of any options to hide. So, she dived into the water. I dive in after her, with my knife ready. She dives deep into the water but I can still see her. Cookie's swimming was growing slower by the minute. I could barely hear a cannon go off on the surface. Finally, I manage to catch up to her and I grab her arm. She screams the best she could without losing any oxygen but she knew this would all be hopeless. I stab her in the stomach with my knife and she couldn't hold in the screams. I smiled. Finally, I got my revenge. She looks at me and grabs my arm as I raise it again for another strike. What is she doing? She pushes my arm until she makes me stab myself. I yell out in pain and I try to swim up. Then I realized that we were too deep in the water to make it. Had she plan this all this time? I was halfway up before my lungs began to hurt and everything went black.
<CaptainSparklez's POV>
I turn around when I heard the first cannon go off. "Houston Taylor has fallen. One death point for SkyDoesMinecraft." My heart stopped. "NO!" I run back to camp and I see Houston lying down on the floor and Mitch and Adam standing over her. I take out my gun and aim it between the two other Youtubers, who now noticed me. Then another cannon went off. Oh no! Where's Cookie!? "Bodil40 has fallen.Two death points for Paranormal Cookie." I sigh in relief. "STOP IT!" I yell, ""We could all be friends!" Mitch laughed. "Yeah right! After what you did? I don't think so!" Mitch runs at me and I aim my gun at his head. This could only end one out of two ways. Either I'm dead or he's dead. "I'm sorry friend." I pulled the trigger.
<Emily Edgerton's POV>
I see Houston lying on the clouds. Her eyes are closed. I walk over to her with a smile on my face. She opens her eyes and stares at me before smiling again. She gets up and we hug. "I missed you," she said. "And I missed you too."
<Paranormal Cookie's POV>
My lungs hurt. My stomach hurts. Everything going white. Help me... help me...he...lp...mee....
<SkyDoesMinecraft's POV>
Immediately after Mitch died another cannon went off. "TheBajanCanadian has fallen. Three death points for CaptainSparklez." Then another one. "Paranormal Cookie has fallen. Two death points for Bodil40." CaptainSparklez aims his gun at me. I held my hands up in the air. "PLEASE!We can talk about this!" Jordan looked very sorrowful at me. "I-I'm so sorry dude." He aimed his gun at me. "Goodbye world ... goodbye."
<Jacksepticeye's POV>
Another cannon went off. Jesus! Five people died in the last five minutes?! That's insane! "SkyDoesMinecraft has fallen. Four death points for CaptainSparklez." I gulp. It's down to the last two. CaptainSparklez and me. I need to win. I need to win.
