Chapter Twenty Two: Closer To Home

I feel water splashing at my feet, as the tide sweeps past. I look around the islands, with tributes on each of them. I hold my bow tighter when I hear a voice through the arena.

"Let the deathmatch begin."

I look to my left and see Dimond lining her bow at Alexander. She shoots, but misses, and her arrow plops into the sand.

Alexander, who is busy with Nick, throws a weapon, causing a big pool of blood to form around the two.

I grab an arrow, and draw my bow carefully. Slowly, I drag my drawn bow up, and precisely aim towards Dimond.
Her leg is my target. I let go, and hear the "whoosh" of the arrow as it flies by. It then passes through her kneecap, causing her to bend over in pain.

I take this opportunity, to get a shot and be one step closer to home. I take my sharp dagger, and aim at her skull. She is still bent over, so it makes the aiming much easier. I fling the sharp object, and it goes directly through her head, causing major bloodloss and screams.

Her body falls to the ground, and a cannon echoes through the arena.

Just that much closer to home.
