I shoot right up at the sound of a bird, the sun is high in the sky, and my eyes hurt, my body hurts, my heart hurts.

I wonder where Bonnie is right now; honestly, she could have just killed me and won. I doubt I would have put up a fight. I remember my dream from the night before with Jonah.....I can win this or die trying.

I sit there, look at the damage on my body; the deep slash on my arm from Aurora has closed up a bit, but I am still in pain. I am bruised from Titus still, and I feel like several bones are broken, but I don't care. Today this will end. I pull the last of the bread out of the bag and eat it; my last fucking meal in the arena will be stale bread.

I sit and wait. Maybe Bonnie is close by, and they are just waiting for one of us to make a move. Suddenly I hear Claudius Templesmith booming across the arena, "Attention Tributes. Congratulations on making it to the final 2. In 10 minutes, an earthquake will start on the arena's perimeter, moving inwards to the cornucopia. I highly recommend you both make your way to the center of the arena. There will be no other messages."

I get up and grab my pitchfork, and Aurora's knife and walk to the mouth of the cornucopia and crouch down and hide and wait. At first, it's a distant rumble, but it starts to build and grow. I feel like grounds begin to tremble, and I know it's coming. The trees are shaking, and I hear the monkeys running and screaming, so they are coming this way.

It's been about 5 minutes since the start of the earthquake when Bonnie comes running out and sees me.

I shake my head and pull up my pitchfork, "you made it. I wasn't sure," I say sadly.

She pulls out a spear, "I don't know who I wanted to see here," she says, and I know it's the truth.

"Well, let's give them a show, I guess," I say, and throw the pitchfork as hard as I can.

She dodges it and runs back to the tree line, but the monkeys are there now, and she turns back, shrugs and runs towards me with the spear, and throws it with all her strength. I fail to dodge it and hits my thigh, and I dropdown and scream in pain. Bonnie pulls out a knife and starts running towards me. I push up on to my wounded legs. I ready the knife. Bonnie gasps as she tries to stop herself but we collide. I feel her knife go into my side and push mine into her stomach. Her own weight pushing it deeper into herself. She coughs and her mouth is bloody as she pushes off of me. It wasn't painless but it was quick and that's the best I can do for her. The capital won't love it, but fuck them. The monkeys run back, And the earthquake stops.

I hear Claudius Templesmith's voice again, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the Victor of 68th Hunger Games from District 10...Kyle Martins."

I hear the cheers and shouts from the Capital. I collapse and close my eyes as the hovercraft appears to collect me.

I did it.

I won.

I kept one promise to Ally.

Jonah was right.

I did it.
