I wake up to Gage nudging me quite urgently as I remember that I'm still in the arena and that we're not at home.

"Vic.. Vic someone coming.. they're coming!" He whispers in a yell which causes me to shoot straight up on my feet as I look around. There's no where to go, no where to run. Gage makes that assessment as well as our eyes meet at each other's. We left the ropes down, which means they must have found it and made their way, we didn't have time to cut it just as Clements smirking face reaches the edge and she bounces to her feet. Her eyes wild as her dark hair sticks everywhere.

"Well well, made quite a stupid choice there didn't you, I guess you really are a blonde" she says giggling to herself as Gage glares at her and puts a protective arm around me

Clement notices and makes a fake shocked face, "oh no.. her little pretty faced lover boy here to protect the great and powerful Victoria Grace. Hmm. Can't even fight her own battles."

I look over to see Vince as he gets on his feet from climbing he gives me a pit-tied look and I look straight back at Clement who is waving her knife around.

"Ya know, I'm done with this small chat. Let's get down to business shall we." She then tilts her head to us giving us a snarl as my eyes widen, knowingly she'd go for Gage, she giggles, "ya know Viccy..." she says as she walks to the side closer to me, "that's the same face your brother made to mine.. right before he died" her evil smirk spreads across her face once more as this time she throws her knife straight at me. I sigh and take a deep breathe waiting for my fate when I hear a thud to the ground.

Gage!?? I quickly open my eyes to see Vince taking the knife right in the stomach as he chokes up blood, I bite my lip as Vince takes one more glance at me and nods in my direction. He did it again. But this time he sacrificed himself. I move my lips to say one thing, "thank you" in his direction and he eyes me once more, as he mouths, "you're our new hope."
his eyes filled with sadness, pain, sorrow, but a glimpse of hope that followed as the cannon goes off signaling his death.

I wipe a single tear away as I glare right at Clement who scuffed at his lifeless body, "what an idiot" she mutters as she looks right back at Gage and I, he takes my hand in his and I grab it squeezing. Before I take a knife from behind me on my belt and I charge Clement with it, she dodged out of the way as we tumble to the ground, I overpower her for a split second before she guts me and I Yelp in pain. I grip her throat and turn her over so she is back underneath me. I hit her head against the rock but it wasn't powerful enough to knock her as she spits blood in my face I wince back as she gets on her feet.

She's in between Gage and I now as she faces me with the knife in her hand, blood tricked down her face from her head, during this time that she was distracted Gage grabbed his arrows pointing at her from behind.

"Any last words your highness?" She spits out as the mix of blood and saliva drip down.

I slowly smirk in her direction, "go to hell."

I simply say that as she widens her eyes and screams in pain as the arrow embeds in her back. She stumbles back a bit as she glares at me she looks back at Gage then at I who are smiling at each other in relief.

"If I'm going to die..then he's going down with me." Those words ring through my head before I realize what she's doing she charges at Gage.

Slow, everything's slow, as I scream, the world around me becomes muffled as I race to stop her. But it's too late.

She grabs Gage as she lets herself fall off the cliff, my eyes widen in horror as Gage and I catch each other's eyes, his beautiful green eyes. As I watch him fall back seconds later with Clement.

I quickly take a hold of the rope that we climbed with and I reach out for Gage. I catch his arm as I wince in pain. He weighs too much.

Gages eyes meet mine as he grips my hand, the winds rush all around blowing our hair as I scan his emotions, fear, mourning, hope, but most of all love.

He sees me struggling to hold us both as I try and try again, but I fail every time, I can't give up.. I can't. It was suppose to be me. Not him. I think as We make eye contact once again, but this time his face isn't tense, it's calm, he eyes me with the most admiration and love. He then mouths out, "It's okay."

His words move me, he's giving up.. tears start to stream down my face as his grip loosens a little, I quickly re hold him in
"n-n-nO!" I scream at him, my thoughts a mess, "I-I'm scared Gage." I say as he catches it he gives me a tight squeeze on the hand. I make out a small tear in his eye as he mouths out, "I love you."

My mouth trembles and I barley make out, "I love you Gage... I love you so much...please. Please." He and I keep our eye contact for a few more seconds as he looks at me with love, like he had been waiting for a lifetime to hear those words come from me. He then releases his whole grip on me as his expression never once changing. I try to catch him again but I can't. It's too late.

He's embracing his death. We make eye contact the whole way as I only catch a bit, "it's okay" he mouths once more as his eyes close and he disappears into the fogginess of the morning.

I scream and shout, as my eyes are blinded with tears that stream down my face.

The boom of the cannon..the last one. My best friend, my partner in crime.

I thrash against the rock as my hand begins to bleed, I scream out, "BRING HIM BACK DAMN IT! YOU MONSTERS BRING HIM BACK!" I scream knowing the capital hears me.

I climb back up to the top as I see Vinces body and my hands shake, "Bring him back too! Bring them back!!" I break down as My body gets tired, I turn over to lay on my back, my hearing goes numb as the game makers voice rings out.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, This Years Victor of the 67TH hunger games, VICTORIA GRACE!" Suddenly I can hear capital people shout and scream in applause.

Them damn capital folk. What the hell. They're applauding my friends death, all their deaths.

Flash backs of the past day and so come back to me. As all the tributes faces paint themselves in my head. Then Gage..

I barley make out a hover craft as its claws pick me up, I lay there emotionless as tears dry on my cheeks. The wind blows frantically, the blurring of my eyes are too much to bare as I close them. To embrace the darkness.

I didn't 𝑤𝑖𝑛 these games, I merely 𝑆𝑢𝑟𝑣𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑑.

A/N

Okay so ngl I think I shed a few tears writing his "death". You maybe wondering why I put " but I think you'll love why once you find out. It'll take time as I'm making this book pretty long. There will have to be a sequel after this as I'm afraid it might become too long, lots of information is put into this. I'm making this match up with the actual hunger games books as well just to let you know! But you'll ofc find that out yourself. I'm not even half way in this book yet. But anyway hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoy writing all of it!
