Jan ColtonFelix got him good. On his arm this time, and Jan's grin turned just a touch more feral than before. It was time to end this. Time to start circling and flanking... ...Time to get serious. He lunged, and felt himself hit home and hit home hard. If the Gamemakers weren't happy with this, then there was no way they would be happy. Blood... ...There was so much blood, even as he pulled the knife free of Felix's throat again. He didn't want to kill Felix. He knew Felix didn't want to kill him, but he had to. He had to. 2013-03-13 22:09:54 Jan Colton rolled 11 dice to "Attacking Felix (With Willpower)" 10,3,10,5,9,10,8,4,4,9,8,2,7,3 (7 successes)

Felix GraylingThis time, Felix clutched at his throat, his mouth gaping as he choked. That hurt. A lot. Felix let out a choking, pained cry as he focused on Jan again. He bit down hard on his cheek. He could feel the blood gushing down from his throat, onto his torso. Felix chose not to care. He let go of his bleeding, burning throat and held his axe with two hands. This time, Felix almost roared as he lunged forward and forced the axe into Jan’s flesh. He had seen Brass in his mind, Brass standing there with a cruel smile and his hands... His hands clutching Sassinak’s arm. His other hand the bloody langschwert that he had used to handicap the sevens. Felix cracked his neck. Rage burned through him. Felix Grayling rolled 8 dice to "attacking Jan + will" 7,6,10,6,8,4,9,8,1(4 successes)

"I understand, Felix." Sassinak said quietly. Watching Felix and Jan fight was heart wrenching. Several times Sassinak cried out in alarm and fear for her dear friend and her other friend. "I can't watch. I love you, but I can't. I have to honor..." Sassinak raises her bow and can't choose a target. An arrow launches into Sassinak's left calf. Sassinak stares across at the other archer, Isolde. Sassinak finds her fight and plants an arrow firmly in Isolde's right side. The girl from seven seemed transformed into a deadly archer in this battle, witnessing Felix and Jan's decision. The girls engage in a fiery archery battle which Sassinak dominated early on... Isolde rolled 10 dice to "Archery shooting Sassinak" 7,9,2,6,5,8,2,8,6,8 (4 successes) Sassinak rolled 10 dice to "Archery shooting Isolde" 9,2,9,8,6,7,5,9,10,9,10,7 (7 successes) Isolde rolled 10 dice to "Archery shooting Sassinak" 8,7,5,1,5,1,3,3,7,2 (1 successes) Sassinak rolled 10 dice to "Archery shooting Isolde" 4,5,6,9,8,9,3,8,1,3 (4 successes)

So this was the end of their alliance... the ruination of her family. As much as Lily hated every second, a dark voice whispered in the back of her mind that this moment was inevitable. Lily was forced to agree and that fact tore her up inside. "Love you all." the twelve year old said, her tone of voice sounding resigned to the course of action they had chosen and oddly dull. "I'm sorry..." Lily Zelle rolled 8 dice to "Slash" 6,5,7,10,2,6,8,2,4 (2 successes) Lily Zelle rolled 7 dice to "Stab" 8,10,8,2,1,2,8,1 (4 successes)
After Felix's little speech, the young Fiver couldn't bring herself to attack Sassinak. Which left one person. The knife raked across Isolde's throat, Lily sidestepping nimbly before a lunge drove the same blade into one of Isolde's lungs. "I'm sorry..." the girl muttered, sounding like a broken record.

Jan Colton[/u][/color] Felix got him good again. Jan spit blood onto the ground, flipping the knife in one hand again, and lunging at the boy's neck again. Yes, he had a one-track mind, but he's seen the damage a person could do to a limb. This was hard. So hard. Exhausting really. He wanted to end this. Wanted to end it badly. So badly.... ...Just a little more. "I hate this." He whispered it. He just hoped that Felix's helmet read it. So that the boy at least knew, at the end--however it went--that Jan hadn't enjoyed this. That this had killed something in him. Either way, a piece of Jan had died here. And someone should know that. Even if he made it, and Felix died. Someone should know. 2013-03-13 22:28:29 Jan Colton rolled 11 dice to "Attacking Felix" 3,4,4,6,8,4,9,4,4,5,5 (2 successes)

Sassinak watches as Lily also cuts Isolde. She pauses for a minute, choosing her next arrow with care. She twists it in her good hand, saying quietly. "Thank you for your help. For your protection. This is my last attack on you. Maybe you live. Maybe I will. May the odds be ever in -" Sassinak shoots. The arrow darts into Isolde's chest and the stoic girl from district nine plummets to the ground. The shot was amazing, one of Sassinak's best. Sassinak lowers her bow and stares at the destruction and loss of life. Isolde clings to life for a moment; time for one last good bye if one needed to be said. BOOM"Savannah. Isolde."Sassinak rolled 10 dice to "Archery shooting Isolde" 9,9,8,1,1,10,10,5,10,1,9,1,3 (7 successes)

Now there were three females left. Ember or Sassinak to attack. "I'm sorry..." Lily Zelle rolled 9 dice to "Slash" 9,1,10,7,10,4,3,3,4,4,5 (3 successes) Lily Zelle rolled 8 dice to "Stab" 4,4,9,7,8,4,4,7 (2 successes)
The focused accuracy of Lily's last attack was missing, her attacks wild and random. If the young girl was aware of the tears slowly falling from her eyes, she showed no sign in her dulled eyes as her knife laid into Sassinak. "I'm sorry..."

Felix GraylingFelix almost clawed at his neck as he felt the pain exploding again. He cringed, and his helmet picked up Jan’s words, lip read. It was a ridiculously astonishing device. “So do I.” He replied hoarsely, clutching at his throat again, “Kill me.” Felix bit down on his tongue, hard, and turned as he heard thud, and the cannon. Isolde. By Sassinak’s arrow. “Sass..?” She wouldn’t hear him, he couldn’t hear himself. But he was proud of his district partner. She could win this. She could. She could. And he in that instant he turned back to Jan and threw himself forward, crying out at the pain in his bad leg and his throat that shot through his body. He threw the axe against Jan again. “I’m sorry.” He growled. The sevens were so apologetic. Felix Grayling rolled 5 dice to "attacking Jan" 10,8,7,6,10,8,7(4 successes)

"I understand, Lily." Sassinak examined Lily's cut and removed the arrows from Isolde's attacks. She applied a bandage to the wound that bled the most, buying herself some more time. The girl hefted up her bow, clearly intending to continue. Sassinak rolled 6 dice to "Healing oneself" 10,3,7,9,9,8,4 (4 successes)

Jan Colton[/u][/color] He had to fix himself. Felix was really good. Too good. Jan applied a bandage to the worst of his wounds. It had to be done if he wanted even a ghost of a chance at winning this thing. Because Felix could fight. And Jan wanted to live. 2013-03-13 22:54:06 Jan Colton rolled 5 dice to "Applying Celox (not sure if thise requires a roll or if a roll will help but...Wits + Medicine?)" 5,5,5,10,5,10,10,4 (3 successes)

As Sassinak healed, Lily watched. If this was all the time left the two girls had then let it last. Sassinak could be the one to resume the fight. Lily is Dodging for the round with a Defence of 8.

Felix GraylingFelix was getting tired. He was panting, he was almost struggling to keep his axe in his hands. Felix wasn’t born for this, wasn’t born to fight. And he hadn’t been prepared to battle. He had just been a lumberjack, like most of the people in district seven, and Felix didn’t know how to fight. He knew he probably looked terrible, lunging forwards, crying out, but he didn’t care. Felix wanted Jan to win, but he wanted him to work for it. Because the Capitol might not hurt the pretty boy like this, but damn would they try to rip him to pieces. If Jan was going to be what Felix thought he was, what Felix wanted him to be? He needed this. And Felix wouldn’t hold back. Not for a second. Felix Grayling rolled 5 dice to "attacking Jan" 1,3,8,9,5(2successes)

Sassinak gave her focus over to watching Lily. Her bow was brought up and an arrow notched. The girl from seven stood on the balls of her feet, ready to dodge out of harms' way.
{Sassinak is dodging, [6] }

Jan Colton[/u][/color] He was getting tired. They both were. Jan could see it, and Felix got him again. Undid a lot of the work he'd done on himself, but he wasn't going to give up. Neither of them were. He was hurting. Badly. He took a deep breath, and it was shaking. Even as he lunged forward with the knife, not bothering for the throat anymore. The Capitol didn't want skill. They wanted to see two teenaged kids fighting for their lives. He wouldn't be so pretty anymore. Not after all this. Assuming he made it. "Maybe I love...Too much...too much like him..." He was breathing hard. He couldn't even get the whole sentence out. 2013-03-13 23:06:40 Jan Colton rolled 11 dice to "Attacking Felix (Not a Called Shot)" 9,2,5,2,5,1,6,5,2,3,9 (2 successes)

So be it then. The combat knife fell from Lily's right hand into her left as she pulled a throwing knife from her arsenal and hurled it through the air at the District 7 female. It wasn't poisoned or paralyzed. Lily wouldn't "cheat" her way to victory now. Let the One decree the outcome of the fighting. Lily Zelle rolled 9 dice to "Knife Throw" 4,8,8,4,6,1,9,5,3 (3 successes) This time Lily said nothing, merely waiting for Sassinak's next action.

"Lily, I've seen what you can do." Sassinak recalled, loosing an arrow. It lodged in Lily's left calf. "Lets decide this." A glance towards Ember. "Not that I want to fight you. Yet we made a deal." She risked a glance towards Felix, who was still battling. "District 7, clean sweep." She envisioned it in her mind. She pushed all of her will power into molding this victory; out of Lily and Jan's flesh and blood; if need be. Sassinak rolled 12 dice to "Archery shooting Lily [13- 4+ 3 wp}" 8,5,9,5,4,7,3,3,5,4,2,9 (3 successes)

Felix GraylingAs the knife cut into Felix, he could tell that Jan, too, was getting tired. And Felix couldn’t stand it. “Try harder!” Felix hissed across to the boy he was fighting. If he let up now, the Capitol would probably find some way to make Jan’s life harder if he could win. Felix wouldn’t let that happen. He pushed forward, his throat searing, his leg throbbing, and shoved the axe forward into Jan for the... He couldn’t keep down. This battle was horrifying, it was making Felix feel as though... He was a monster. Was he becoming a monster? Why wouldn’t he stop? Felix Grayling rolled 5 dice to "attacking Jan" 2,10,8,3,7,8(3successes)

Jan Colton[/u] He saw what Felix was doing. Making him earn it. Making him push and push and nearly die even if he won this. So that he would appreciate everything he threw into it. So that he'd appreciate that he'd nearly died. That Felix was a real person. That he needed to rebel for people like Felix. For people like...all of them. "I See you." He said, fingers curling around the knife. "I see you, Felix Grayling. I See you..." He lunged forward. A solid hit. I see you. Do you see me? 2013-03-13 23:19:39 Jan Colton rolled 13 dice to "Try Harder." 8,4,9,5,2,4,10,4,6,9,2,3,7,1 (4 successes)

The pain of the arrow in her calf broke the dull, despondent look in Lily's eyes, reforging it anew into something harder, sharper than before. "What else can I do?" She didn't want to die anymore than Sassinak, than any of them did. They had promised, they had been given rest and this was simply the inevitable price. The combat knife fell again from left hand to right as Lily tore across the battlefield towards Sassinak. Lily Zelle rolled 13 dice to "Slash" 7,3,1,10,4,4,10,6,5,4,4,4,6,9,1 (3 successes) Lily Zelle rolled 12 dice to "Stab" 5,1,3,6,5,3,3,2,6,1,6,6 (0 successes)
Sassinak's new found resolve seemed to be serving her well... Lily couldn't get in a second shot this time, not for lack of trying.

Felix GraylingJan’s words hit him harder than the knife. As the knife tore away at his flesh, Felix considered Jan’s words for a moment. Jan saw him. Felix felt his eyes tearing up, stinging. He clutched his axe, and he tried to hit Jan, he tried to attack him. But the axe fell short of the district nine boy. “Finish it.” Felix gasped. Felix Grayling rolled 5 dice to "attacking Jan" 2,5,3,3,6(0successes)

Jan Colton[/u][/color] He missed. Felix missed. He hadn't missed before. Jan felt tears in his own eyes, even as he shoved the knife under Felix's ribs. They were close now. Too close. He was breathing hard, and he could feel how close the two of them were to death. Could feel himself getting weak. Could feel Felix getting weak. "In this place...you were my brother." Jace had said that to Lallek in his last moments, and Jan made sure that he said it loud enough that District 9 would hear it. If Felix won, Jan knew that he'd belong to at least Two Districts. Nine would welcome him with open arms. And if Jan won... ...They'd drink a Parting Glass to Felix Grayling as though he were one of their own. 2013-03-13 23:30:10 Jan Colton rolled 13 dice to "Finish It" 3,2,8,4,6,9,4,10,10,3,2,5,4,9,2 (5 successes)

Felix Grayling“Send me to your brother.” Felix choked. He wanted to meet Jace at the gates. He wanted Jan to send him to Jace. To Marc. To Cinder. To Coral. Felix wanted to leave. And he put his everything into the final attack. But he held back. He held back just enough so that Jan could find his weakness, find the one part of Felix which would end his damned life. “Make them pay... For what they’ve done.”Felix was so close to Jan, so close. His axe bit into Jan’s flesh. And Felix dropped it to the ground once it was done. Felix was ready. Felix Grayling rolled 10 dice to "attacking Jan + all in + will" 1,5,5,6,3,6,9,6,10,8,2 (3 successes)

Jan Colton[/u][/color]
He winced as the axe bit in. So close..he was dying. He could feel it. Even as he shoved the knife under Felix's ribs, and felt...hearts blood.
Felix was dying.
Felix was going to die.
HE followed him down, pulling the knife out of Felix's chest but not letting him go. Giving him that gentle send off. Felix wouldn't fall to the ground and die.
He felt his throat close, and he sobbed. "I promise..." He'd make them pay for taking Felix Grayling. Jaspar Thorne. Boomer.
Felix Grayling. Glory Mithras. Boomer.
Jan choked again. "I promise. He's there. Can you hear him...?" Jan could feel the wind. It might have been his imagination, but he could feel the wind on his face. The West Wind. The Warm Wind.
Could smell Barley.
"Can you hear him...? Can you see him? He was beautiful, wasn't he?" Jan was sobbing, holding Felix even as hurt as he was. He wouldn't leave him alone. Not yet.
Not until he was gone.
"I promise. I promise, Felix..."

Sassinak spoke quietly. "Neither of us wants this. Its what we agreed. We respect each other. Jan and Felix aren't holding back. Are you holding back on me?" The girl loosed an arrow, a superficial arrow that barely hurt. Sassinak rolled 12 dice to "Archery shooting Lily [13- 4+ 3 wp}" 4,7,1,7,5,5,5,2,4,4,2,10,2 (1 successes) "I owe you that much and more." Lily said, a tone of respect for Sassinak evident in her voice. She wasn't holding back, or at least, not on any conscious level she was aware of. Lily Zelle rolled 17 dice to "Slash/Stab [9/8]" 1,6,9,8,9,7,4,1,4,1,9,5,6,6,7,5,9 (5 successes) "Ah," Sassinak hissed in pain. " - now I know that for sure." A smile, a bittersweet one. She wanted no pity here; for she wasn't giving any quarter. The girl was battling with two deaths weighing on her conscience. She pitches mentally, watching Lily carefully to study the other girls weaknesses. (dodging, {6}) Lily Zelle rolled 13 dice to "Slash/Stab [7/6]" 4,1,3,9,6,4,10,3,8,2,7,2,5,8 (4 successes) "Whatever happens Sass, it was an honor to know you." Lily said. Sassinak's emotional turmoil and considering Lily's words caused Sass's arrow to fly loose. It crashes harmlessly behind Lily. The momentary lull in Sassinak's offense allowed Lily to keep up her own barrage of attacks against her. Lily Zelle rolled 17 dice to "Slash/Stab [9/8]" 5,2,1,6,9,6,9,1,10,6,4,2,2,8,9,10,3,3,4 (6 successes)
Sassinak opens a packet of Celox and applies it to the worst of the wounds that she received from Lily. The girl quickly placed a bandage over the deepest wound with a hiss of pain. The girl hefted her bow up, ready to continue the fight. [Sassinak rolled 6 dice to "Healing oneself" 10,2,1,5,4,7,6 (1 successes) & Celox (1 hp) ] Lily watched, giving Sassinak time to heal and renew the battle. (Dodging of 8] As Lily did not attack immediately. Sassinak drew her bow up. She watched the other girl closely. Sassinak was choosing where to place her arrow with great care... Sassinak is aiming

As Sassinak drew up the bow, Lily's knife again danced between her hands, a flash of metal flying across the arena as yet another throwing knife cut across the distance between them. Lily Zelle rolled 12 dice to "Knife Throw" 1,7,9,4,6,4,7,10,3,10,6,3,6,9 (4 successes) Sassinak gasped with the effort needed to pull the bow. Her sides ached and burned from her wounds. Fresh blood pumped as her muscles pulled to release the arrow towards Lily. The arrow shot into Lily's left thigh. A decent shot, but far from Sassinak's best. Color was draining from Sassinak's face, her dark hair a stark contrast to her paling skin. Sassinak rolled 10 dice to "Archery shooting Lily [13- 4 + 1]" 9,3,1,4,8,5,6,1,9,7 (3 successes) Despite the two arrows decorating her leg, Lily mustered up enough energy to drive forward with her combat knife once more, A slash. A stab... Lily just wanted this nightmare to end... Lily Zelle rolled 19 dice to "Slash/Stab [10/9]" 7,1,5,5,1,5,4,7,9,4,10,9,2,9,3,5,1,5,3,9 (5 successes) Sassinak coughs as the knife skitters across her ribs. She pitches forward, coughing up blood. Something vital within her has been destroyed and the girl hovers on the brink of death. She rolls onto her left side, her good hand holding tight to her fine bow. Those lovely district seven eyes seek out Lily and hold her. Sassinak opens her mouth to speak, but the girl exhales her last breath. The tributes of district seven have been sent far from the Hunger Games in their spirits. Boom! Boom!
