"What, Rex? What are the games?"
I asked in a fake, cocky tone.
"Poison. The Games are Poison.
And you know what Poison does to you? It hurts you! It kills you!"
He pulled back the string, letting go of the arrow as it nailed me in the shoulder.
I shrieked, pulling the arrow bad out my shoulder.
He was about to shoot another between my eyes but i trident quickly got him in the face.
A cannon went off.
I grabbed medicine from my bag and put it on my throbbing shoulder. Then I realized...
I won. I actually won the games.
I couldn't help but scream out of happiness.
"Wooh! I won!!"
"And the winner of the 68th annual Hunger Games!.."
He hesitated for a while.
"Brooklynn Westbay!!
•Finnick's POV•
I was half way asleep.
I tried to stay awake but I couldn't keep my eyes off the screen.
Brook seemed glad I gave her a trident.
She was walking to the Cornucopia and Rex followed.
Here we go.
Before I know it, I'm asleep, my head hanging down when all of a sudden a loud voice woke me up.
"And the winner of the 68th Hunger Games!"
Rex was on the screen.
I started to freak out.
"Why is he on the screen?!"
I then showed Brook pulling an arrow out of her shoulder.
"No, no, no, no!" I cried in tears.
Then all of a sudden, it showed a trident make contact with Rex's face.
"Did she win? Did she win?!"
"Brooklynn Westbay!!!"
"Yes!" I screamed.
"Penia!! She won!"
Penia ran in the room.
"That's my girl!" She smiled ear-to-ear.
"I knew it, I knew she could do it!" I cheered.
The hovercraft picked her up and before I knew it, she was walking through the door. I ran to her. I had to.
•Brook's POV•
I looked up at the sky as a hovercraft lifted me.
I won. I still couldn't believe I won.
As the hovercraft got to the train, I looked around.
First thought. Where's Finnick?
I turned to my right and he was running my way. In my mind I couldn't help hit scream:
ODAIR he is!
I jumped into his arms and he grabbed me by my hair.
"You won! You won! I knew you'd win!"
He was in tears and so was I.
"I had to keep my promise. Even if it meant killing Monet and Ryder." I sobbed.
"Hey, Rex doesn't know what he's talking about. You did not kill Monet. Mavis did. You did not kill Ryder. The mutts did. Ya hear?"
I nodded and hugged me tighter.
He smelled so good. Like...like the ocean.
Penia walked up to me with open arms and I hugged her tight.
"Great job, darling!" She yelled.
I smiled.
My trident was leaned against the wall.
"When do I get to see Clayton and mom?"
"Tomorrow. And then you have the next day free. Then the next we got interviews. Next week we have the Victory Tour." Finnick said.
"Great. Wait...where's Alba?"
Someone tapped me on the shoulder.
"Alba!"
"Brooklynn, honey, you did amazing out there! I never doubted you!" She smiled.
"Thank you." I hugged her.
"So, what are we doing tonight?" I asked.
Penia looked at Finnick.
"For celebration, we were gonna go to the bar-."
"BUT! There is one condition."
Finnick interrupted.
I laughed, knowing what he was talking about.
"No more than three drinks."
We said in sync.
We both laughed.
"The thing is...we're all Victors." Alba said.
"Me, Penia, Finnick, and now you."
Said Alba.
"So...were all wearing our clothes that we wore in the arena. We got to wash that."
I laughed.
"Yeah."
In the corner of my eye, I caught Finnick staring at me.
I motioned to Alba and Penia sd they caught my eye and eft me and Finnick alone.
"So...what does your uniform look like?" I asked.
He shook his head, smiling.
I gave me a look and my dreams came true.
He kissed me.
I looked at him and brought him into another, kissing him back.
I tugged onto his bronze hair and looked deep into his sea green eyes.
"What was that for?" I asked.
He grabbed my hand.
"I've been wanting to do that since the Victory Tour. That's when I developed feelings for you."
I smiled. "I developed feelings the second your name got called in the reaping."
His eyes got wide. "Wow. I guess that makes me complete."
I smiled. "Me too."
He kissed me again and it lasted a few seconds before-
"Brook! We n-. Oh! Penia!!!"
Penia walked out as her and Alba said in sync: "about Time!"
All four of us laughed as Finnick wrapped his arm around me and walked me to Alba.
Alright! I love this chapter! Brook finally won the games and her and Finnick finally got together. Woo! Hang in there! The next chapter will most likely be the last...if not, then the next. Just get ready for the cliffhanger. And it's a big one!😉
