He'd been holding his insides in for the final moments of the fight, convinced the girl from District One would outlast him with ease, despite the bleeding hole in her face where he'd jammed his knife into her eye. It was a stroke of luck, in truth, that his legs gave up at just the right moment, his body dodging of its own accord as the Career grew impatient and hurled an axe in his direction. But she, unlike him, had no knowledge of the forcefield over the edge of the cliff he'd staggered to in his desperate attempt at finding some form of safety -- the only weapon he could think of to use once he'd dropped his knife as she landed a blow to his stomach with that lethal axe -- and in a moment of arrogance the girl had assumed her axe would hit its mark. It was at just the perfect moment he'd begun to convulse on the ground. He'd watched her with what little amusement he could muster, then; that smug, indifferent, arrogant look on her face as she assumed she could simply stand there and wait for the boy from Twelve to bleed out on the floor. It'd been her fatal mistake -- being arrogant enough to simply stand there and wait -- and when the axe he'd been waiting for returned from the bottom of the cliff with the help of his secret forcefield and buried itself in the girl's head, he could manage only one short burst of hysterical, relieved laughter as his vision began to fade to black. He'd passed out before he could hear the cannon.
