Chapter 8: The Morning
(Elly's POV)
"He's dead, Elly," Darkfield says reassuringly.
"GOOD!" I shout.
"It's not like he killed you," he points out.
"He could've."
"It was just a Psybeam!"
'How does he know anything about Pokémon?' I think angrily.
"Well, I've been to the Pokémon world," he said. "My girlfriend, Luna, was Knocked Out." I then remember my habit to say things out loud.
'Dang it, he has a girlfriend,' I think.
"Oh, so you're interested?" he says.
"Whaaaat?" I lie unconvincingly.
A white wolf with black markings suddenly leaps through the cave mouth. "Shut up and back up," she says, pushing me away from Darkfield.
"Who are you?!" I yell, using Hydro Pump on her.
She dodges it easily and says, "I'm Luna, Darkfield's GIRLFRIEND."
I stand in front of Darkfield. "No way!" I yell, then jump at her, claws glowing bright white.
"Hey!" she yells.
My Slash attack is a direct hit to her head, smashing her down to the ground.
She jumps up and tackles me, slamming me against the wall. She pins me back with her paws. "Mine!" she yells, then slashes at me.
(Luna's POV)
I slash at the Vaporeon with my claws angrily. "He likes me!" I shout angrily.
(Darkfield's POV)
"Holy crap," I muttered. Two girls are fighting. OVER ME! At first, I was excited to tell Prince, but then I remember that he died in the bloodbath.
(Luna's POV)
"Have a nice death!" I yell, throwing the bloody Vaporeon out of the cave, then tackling her. She mutters something. "I can't hear you!" I say tauntingly. "What'd you say?"
She croaks, "I'm sorry. He's yours."
I have had bad experiences with betrayal. "Sure," I say sarcastically. I proceed to crush her skull mercilessly.
The scream that emits from her mangled body remains in the forest for mere seconds. The cannon's shot explodes, its loud boom lasting much longer in my ears than the Vaporeon's scream. The shrillness of that scream had pierced the air.
I walk back into the cave to the awed face of Darkfield.
"You did that... for me?" he asked.
"She would have turned on you anyway," I say in an explaining tone.
He jumps in front of me, holds up herbs.
"What's that for?" I ask, then everything goes black.

(Aqua's POV)
Luna had suddenly sprinted off. "What is she doing?" I muttered.
Whatever. As I look at where Leliana's body had been the night before, I find myself wondering what they did with the dead tributes...
