We are at a feast. There are three tributes left. Since both Niño and Heather have not commented, I will finish the story in 3rd person. I'm not allowed to kill anyone without the author's permission, so I'll do my best. 

It is the night before the feast, and all that Alize can think about is home, and the way that it smells in the dark of the night. The moon shines full, and though Alize knows that there is another tribute out there, she is not afraid. She has become too well acquainted with the stars after years of wandering through the woods to be afraid of the dark. She knows that Niño will most likely die before she can return with the medicine, but she must try to save him anyway. She is not afraid of Heather. She isn't afraid of anyone anymore.

In the morning, Alize silently dashes to the clearing near the cornucopia where the feast will be. Just as expected, a table with three leather pouches on it rises from the mouth of the cornucopia.  Alize looks around, then dashes towards then table. Suddenly, Heather runs from the woods and snags her pouch, without even an attempt at harming Alize. As she runs back into the woods, Alize could shoot her, but she chooses not to. No one else needs to die, no matter what the Capitol says. Alize grabs her pouch, and returns to niño as quickly as she can run. When she opens the pouch, she opens it expecting to find medicine. Instead, she finds a small ball, with a glass plate on one end. It is counting down . She has one minute left, and suddenly Alize realizes that there is someone who has been on her side the entire time. It is an electrical charge, a bomb to blow out the force field. With niño leaning heavily on her, Alize looks back at the arena. It has cost so many lives. But Panem will be free. She takes her last memory of home, a mockingjay feather necklace, from her pouch. It is her district symbol. She tosses it into the forest, and with a mighty cry, she shouts

" Remember the Mockingjay, Panem. Remember the mockingjay!"

In a split second, she tosses the ball at the force field, and she can feel the seconds ticking down in slow motion. Two. One. Zero..... Boom..

The world begins to collapse around her, and the five field is destroyed. Alize, dragging Niño with her, takes a step from the arena. She is farther than any citizen of Panem has ever been. The Capitol will try to catch her, but they will never be able to find her. She and Niño will survive, they will go on. Without another word, Alize begins to run. All around her, for thousands of miles, are uncharted woods. Finally, she is home. A trace of a smile crosses her lips as the forest fills her soul. 

" Wake up Nino! The nightmare has ended. At last, we are alive!"

Thanks for the RP Alex!!! Happy Hunger Games 22.... And may the odds be ever in your favor.
