I watched from the entrance of our hollow tree. Sometime during the night it changed from a cave back to this tree. It was weird but I prefer it this way. Hydra told me to wake her at sunrise. It was just four of us left. Me, Hydra, the girl from 2 Panther and the boy from 6. We just needed to kill one more person wire one of us would win no matter what. I shake Hydra awake and then the voice of one of the Gamemakers yells over the arena.

   "Attention top four tributes. All of you have been paired up. If your partner does not die within 48 hours then we will randomly kill one of the members of the membership. Your partners will be kept secret. Happy Hunger Games and may the odd be ever in your favor!" A lump grew in my throat. I had to hope that Hydra and I weren't partners.

   "Giovanni, what will happen if we are partners up?" Hydra asks me worriedly.

   "Then one of us will get randomly killed." I say with a stony face. I couldn't kill Hydra. I could kill anyone in this arena if I had to except for her.

    "Come out, come out wherever you are." A voice called from outside our base. "I know you two are hiding here somewhere so get out and fight you little coward." I recognize the voice as Panther. She is the only one who is that sadistic.

   Hydra and I walk out, her holding we bow and me holding my hammer. "Panther you do realize that you can't beat the two of us." I yell.

    "That doesn't mean that I can't kill one of you." She says with a smile. "One more kill."

   She leaps towards us with her knives. I instinctively lash out with my hammer but she leaps to the side. Hydra realizes that her bow will be useless so she takes out a packet of knives. Panther tackles Hydra to the ground and drags a knife up her arm and Hydra cries in pain. I swing my hammer down and it hits Panther on the head. Her head bursts into a million pieces and brains splatter everywhere.

   "Damn it Gio!" Hydra yells up at me "Ugh I have useless career Brains all over me!" Her yelling almost is louder than the cannon.

   "These are the Hunger Games Hydra!" I laugh "Go wash off in that stream if you want to. Just take your bow and I will guard the camp."

   She leaves and walks away. I laugh inwardly. Now that Panther is dead, at least one of us is assured to win. I am so caught up in my thoughts that I almost miss Hydra's scream. I rush through the vegetation to find Hydra bathing in the lake with her arms clasped in frog of her chest while Sam had his sword held up against Hydra's neck.

   "Get off of her!" I scream. He tries to run but I catch up to him quickly. I put my sword against his throat and he squirms, leaving small nicks on his neck. Hydra shoots him through the eye first though.

"He didn't deserve to have to go through the anticipation of waiting to die. He was going to die no matter what." She states calmly.

   She dries herself off and we wait. Tomorrow would be the end of the Games.
