It seemed too good to be true. I was in the top two with Hydra. We could go home now! The Gamemakers would see that the top two were District partners and they would let us both win! I wanted to jump for joy.

    "We did it Hydra!" I shouted. It was perfect! We won!

    "Yeah we can go home now!" She said with a frenzied grin.

   They were growing the plants back, probably so that the Capitol citizens could see what the arena was like before the top three. I smiled up toward the sky an then heard a Gamemaker's announcement.  "This is just a reminder that only one tribute can win."

   I frowned, all the blood draining from my face. "Hydra," I said, about to cry. "only one of us can live. One of us has to kill the other." 

   "Thanks for stating the obvious." She said sarcastically as she drew her bow. "Now if you will just drop that hammer, I can make your death painless. You did get me this far after all." She smirked.

    "But Hydra," I said fearfully. "I thought that we were friends."

     "Acquaintances yes," she explained. "But anything more than that was just a figment of your imagination. After my dad, I never had any real friends. Covering up the bruises turned me into one hell of an actress though."

    Tears started falling down my face. "You pulled all that shit about everyone using you during the interviews, then what do you do?" He asked. "You use everyone who ever give a damn about you!" I exclaimed and raised my hammer. If she was going to be that way, fine she could die.

   I ran towards her and she shot an arrow at me. It flew by my head and her eyes widened with fear. Served her right. I tackled her and her shoulders drooped. She knew that she was beaten.

   "Gio," she begged, her voice cracking. "Can you use a knife instead." Her voice was shaking. "That way people can still recognize me."

   I was shaking with anger myself. This was probably one last ploy for her to escape death. If it was, I fell for it. I nodded and grabbed a knife from my back pocket. "Good bye Hydra. Maybe you will see your mother again, whatever happens." I said, my tears mixing with hers. Then I made a small slit on her jugular and blood poured out. A cannon fired.

   For the first time, in the entire Games, I was completely and utterly alone.
