TRIGGER WARNINGS: VIOLENCE, DEATH, BLOOD, GORE
RONNI
"fuc--" ronni had begun to curse but it was too late. he had reached out to try and stop aggie -- his fingertips lingering on one of her hands -- but it was too late. he could only watch as she toppled onto nike and drove the arrow further into her neck. the silence -- save for the occasional scream coming from leon and goldie -- was deafening. he ran without thinking and, once again, attempted to close the distance between himself and aggie.
AGGIE
breathing deeply, once it was clear the girl was not going to be getting up again, aggie sat back on her heels, still on top of nike's body. ever so casually, she pulled her hair back out of her face, tying the baby hairs up with her scrunchie--that was a nice bonus the gamemakers had thrown in there before looking back at the rest of the careers.
"Now that's that." aggie said, a giggle escaping. "anyone wanna go exploring with me? maybe see what those mutts she was going on about are like?"
RONNI
ronni stopped abruptly at the sound of the cannon. It was too late. well, it had been too late the moment aggie bit off nike's cheek. his steps slowed and he eventually came to a stop about five feet away from aggie. he watched her lean back with a bloodied mouth and a crazed laugh. he could feel his body beginning to become heavy and, with a sigh, he just stared deeply into her eyes. "aggie, i--"
LEON
landon had been on the forefront of leon's mind ever since he had been told that he was the one that had ruined his bloodbath experience. but as he heard the sound of nike's cannon, it was almost as if he had realised, he was living in one of his nightmares. his chest heaved as he clutched onto the knife, he knuckles white and anger pulsing through his veins. "ronni get away from aggie right now." he growled at the boy before he launched himself on aggie. after pushing her away from nike's dead body he wrapped one of his hands around her neck and squeezed it tightly as he raised the other hand holding goldie's knife.
RONNI
what he was going to say didn't seem to matter anymore. his words had caught in his throat the moment he saw leon -- with a look of fury the likes of which ronni had not seen on him before -- advancing. he knew what was about to happen before leon said anything. for once, and perhaps one of the only times in his life, ronni did the right thing. he bit his lip, sighed, and then abruptly turned to the side. as leon's hand pressed down on aggie's neck, so, too did ronni's eyes shut themselves hard and fast. even though his relationship with aggie was a tumultuous one, he did not want to see what was about to happen.
AGGIE
again, aggie was caught off guard at the sudden movement--she knew they had just been fighting, but honest, she hadn't expected them to be mad once it was all done with. it was the hunger games; it was death and gore and blah blah blah. aggie had taken it to its natural conclusion, as far as she was concerned. and how could they blame her for what came naturally? she kicked, grabbed struggled as leon wrapped his hands around her throat, but she had been caught off guard, no question. he had the upper-hand. for a moment, she looked to ronni for her help--her newfound friend, unlikely as it was. he turned away. it didn't matter, she could still do this. she was invincible, she was going to win. she was going to win. she had this. she had this, even with leon's hands wrapped around her throat.
LEON
her strength surprised him as he continued to pin her down, but with the amount of adrenaline coursing through his body, and the fact that he was a lot stronger than her - it was safe to say that aggie o'connell was going absolutely nowhere. he struggled for a moment; the knife hovered over her face as she tried to look over at ronni. part of him wanted to gouge her eyes out, he wanted to smash her head against the tiles of until there was nothing but a mixture of brain and skull in his hands. he wanted her to suffer whilst he killed her and even as she looked him in the face, he saw no remorse and it sickened him. "nothing and no one is saving you now aggie." and although he wanted to do all of this, he knew that if he started, he would never be able to stop so instead he brought the knife and stabbed into her eye. the boy pushed the blade down until it couldn't go down further, and then he did it again and again until he was sure that she was dead.
AGGIE
Aggie O'Connell had never been saved. out of the frying pan and into the fire, Bada McKenzie had taken her out of poverty and placed her on the road that brought her here, choking on blood and airlessness, seeking help from a boy who never helped anyone. no one is saving you now, aggie. no one is saving you now. she already knew that, she realized, just as she realized where that knife was about to go. she was sorry to see herself go, but not sorry for much else. all aggie o'connell had done was do what was allowed in the games. it was everyone else who acted so shocked about it, but she had never done anything against the rules. aggie o'connell was just playing the game.
game over was her final thought before the knife plunged into her eye.
gross.
TL;DR: after aggie kills nike she asks the squad if they want to hang out and they’re having none of it. leon then kills aggie in retaliation and in the space of like fifteen minutes the career pack was halved. this is the last part.

RONNI
he didn't hesitate. he held up a pair of open palms and let his eyes gaze upwards. "hey, man, all good here. no jokes." he put them down lazily and into the pockets of the denim -- jean? gene? whatever... -- jacket and sighed dramatically. the whole situation, albeit incredibly humorous, was starting to rub him the wrong way. now leon, of all people, was beginning to get pissy. "I just think it's funny how--" he began but stopped at goldie's verbal lashing.
NIKE
"it wasn't me, goldie!" she snapped, "how many times do i have to say it?! i dragged his body out of that goddamn store to try and save him. those mutts tore his throat out, i used my jacket to try and stop the bleeding! he was dead by the time i got out of the store." her tone was cruel, the truth was just as harsh, but nike was trying to save her own ass because it was two against three, and of the three, two of them were more than capable of taking her out. and she hated the way goldie was glaring at her.
RONNI
"huh?" he barked before he could stop himself. the call would probably go on deaf ears, but goldie's accusatory tone that was now directed at him was definitely rubbing him the wrong way. those twins were always gonna be trouble. he knew that. well, he thought as he crossed his arms over his chest, at least one of them was dead now.
LEON
leon could see this situation imploding a lot quicker than he thought, and in a way that could possibly get all of them killed, he gazed down at goldie's shaking hands hoping they weren't going to reach for a weapon any time soon. "goldie please, i know you're upset but please, it looks like his throat has been ripped out or something and nike couldn't have done it. she wouldn't do that to you." he walked towards her; his eyes concerned but ultimately sympathetic. "goldie come on, you need to calm down."
AGGIE
she laughed at ronni's joke, the weight lifting off her somewhat. "you don't need a weapon to that, goldie's one hundred percent right." for once, she shot a kind look to the girl who had forced her off the roof. "i mean, look what i did in the bloodbath. we can do amazing things with our hands."
"stop being modest and own up to it, anyway." aggie added with a shrug. "i'll know the truth when i win and watch the replays anyway!"
LEON
“shut - and i cannot stress this enough - the fuck up for one second aggie.”
NIKE
how many times could she say the same thing over and over again? it was like talking to a wall. had her hands not been stained with blood, she would have rubbed at her eyes in frustration. instead, she lowered her head and let out an exasperated sigh.
AGGIE
"who the fuck made you president snow?" aggie threw back. "stop pretending you're in charge, leon. besides, you're in the minority opinion here."
RONNI
ronni, not wanting to be a part of the verbal altercation between leon and aggie -- he owed both of them a certain amount of loyalty, see -- took a large step back and slowly walked over to where calix's corpse lay bloody and vulnerable. the others weren't paying him any attention, right? he looked to the left and saw nike with her head in her hands. leon and aggie were fighting. goldie... well, she was indisposed. he walked seemingly without a purpose closer and closer to calix. then, as quietly as he could, attempted to hock up some spit from the back of his throat. however, to keep things chill and nice, he kept it in his mouth. he would get his chance, he thought. oh, yes -- soon.
LEON
she was right, but he refused to acknowledge that. "because literally none of you are being reasonable right now. goldie is upset, no offence aggie but you're literally out of your mind and ronni has wanted calix dead since the moment he met him."
GOLDIE
"i think i'm being perfectly reasonable! my brother is dead!"
NIKE
nike was used to the shouting, the screaming, so she kept quiet for now. she was used to anger being directed at her; fists thrown her way plenty of times. but she closed her eyes when goldie pointed out the obvious. it was justified, though, she had to give her that.
LEON
as leon got closer to goldie he decided that if nike didn't want to get murdered by the girl from one, her best bet would be to yeet out of there, leon turned his head and mouthed "run" to nike before turning back to goldie. "i know you're not i'm sorry, please goldie you know she didn't do this."
TL;DR: ronni plotting to spit on calix’s corpse whilst everybody else is too busy arguing, goldie is still in the middle of a breakdown but leon is trying to calm her down but aggie is beefing with him, nike has temporarily stopped trying to argue her case
these violent delights have violent ends // part one
PREVIOUSLY ON TTW
the events of this take place in the morning of day two. leon has just left hot topic after killing phoenix. at the front of the store he was greeted by ronni when they both heard a cannon. nike and calix had gone off in search of food and/or water when calix was attacked by mutts. after he was attacked nike dragged his body out of the store in an attempt to save him. but unfortunately he died shortly after not far from the cornucopia where they had made camp. a shit show is about to ensue.
LEON
leon was still on a high from his first kill and making small talk with ronni when he heard the sound of another cannon boom, he looked around instinctively seeing nothing alarming or suspicious, but when yells from the other side of the cornucopia sounded, he ran around to see the complete and utter chaos. calix was dead. and nike was stood over his dead body covered in what he assumed was his blood. it seemed as though a silence had come over all of them as they processed the scene in front of them, then leon took a step forward, hands raised and eyes wide. "nike what the fuck is going on?"
RONNI
ronni, having also heard the noise, accompanied leon to see what the matter was. he expected to see an outlier lying dead -- or, better yet, bleeding out -- on the ground. his brow creased as he walked briskly over. god, he thought, he really needed to push it into overdrive. at this rate, all the kills would be taken. he was contemplating the future deaths of the outliers when he, like leon, came upon the bloody scene. a silence fell over the group. then, because he simply couldn't help himself, ronni felt the corners of his mouth twitch upwards into a grin.
"Ha!" he barked at the sight of calix's body.
AGGIE
aggie was sitting on top of the cornucopia absentmindedly typing the strings from the bags together into knots (and "acting as a lookout," she had said when questioned, though mostly she just liked to be tall). when the cannon sounded and the scene made itself clear, aggie, like ronni, couldn't help herself. she let out a cackle as she slid down off the cornucopia, bounding over to stand next to the others. "just couldn't wait, huh two?"
NIKE
calix was dead. he was dead and nike was standing above his dead body, covered in his blood. she knew how this had to look to them-- it was worse with everyone coming in having no idea what happened. nike turned to face the others, lifting her hands, "i know this looks bad," she started, noticing the backs of her hands coated in drying blood. nike lowered her hands, as if that would help make anything better in this situation. "calix and i were looking through the stores. there were mutts in there," she pointed back at the store of stuffed mutts behind them, "they attacked and he... he got killed." ronni's laugh earned him a glare, but nike turned her gaze back toward leon, "i swear, i didn't--" aggie's accusation cut her off and her jaw clenched tight. "i didn't do it."
RONNI
ronni, still in a hysterical stupor at having spotted nike and calix's corpse, did not understand the gravity of the situation. he walked over to aggie, slung a loose arm over her shoulder, and bent his head over in a series of snorts and cackles. "oh, my god. he really was all talk. damn, good on you, nike," he cheered as he wiped away a stray tear from one of his ducts. then, as if a higher power had taken a dunce cap and placed it gingerly upon ronni's head, he stood at attention. "would it have killed ya' to let me have 'em?" it was miraculous just how much went through one of ronni's ear and out of the other. he hadn't heard a thing nike had said about anything -- only the sound of aggie's laughter and his own petty accusation filled his ears.
AGGIE
it took a moment to pin down the emotion aggie was feeling--she was still laughing, but as soon as nike claimed innocence, she got it. anger, resentment, jealousy. she had wanted to be the one to kill calix, to kill all of them. she had wanted to take them down all in one go, if she had gotten her way. it wasn't fair that she hadn't, nike had gone and done him in on the second day. she didn't even get a chance with calix. crossing her arms as she looked the girl up and down, she spit out her words in an accusatory manner. "what kind of mutts?"
GOLDIE
goldie emerged from the store where she'd been looking around for outlying tributes, and when she saw the blood, she assumed nike had found one. but — but. it was calix's blood lying on the ground, and it was nike covered in calix's blood.
she covered her mouth with her hand. "oh my god..." she muttered. she couldn't believe this. she'd known he would die — hell, she'd been prepared to kill him herself — but she hadn't thought it'd be this soon. her head was spinning. she wanted to sit down.
"how could you do this?" she asked, her voice low and accusatory. "i liked you." of all the careers goldie had expected to turn tail, nike wasn't on the top three. she didn't know why the fact that she'd liked nike was so important, but it felt like it was. it felt like a betrayal, a real one, not the fake one they were going to put on for the show. goldie's stomach turned. she hadn't expected it to happen like this, for it to feel like this, for it hurt like this.
LEON
leon decided to ignore the cackles and words from ronni and aggie because they were after all helping quite literally nobody at this point. “this looks fucked up nike," but he had just seen mutts in hot topic when he had killed phoenix, so if they were there, the chances of them lurking in other stores was likely. he put his hands down and walked closer towards nike,” i know you didn't do it." standing in between nike and the rest of the careers, he spoke again. “let’s be reasonable guys.”
GOLDIE
"how can i be reasonable?" goldie half-screeched. her nails were digging into her palms at this point and she was trying to keep her lip from quivering. "she just killed my brother! and i liked her!"
NIKE
"i didn't do it!" she snapped again, glaring at the duo from four. she looked toward aggie in particular, brow furrowed deeply. "go in there and see for your fucking self," she spat, throwing a thumb back at the make-a-mutt store. obviously neither of them was going to listen to her. at least ronni wasn't as envious as aggie seemed to be-- not that nike had killed calix to begin with. "i don't even have a weapon to do that to him," she added, briefly glancing back at calix's body. as soon as she saw goldie, the stern mask she had faltered, resorting to shaking her head again, "goldie, i didn't, i swear, i didn't do this." outside of leon, the twins had been the next people she had been most loyal to. the only other people she tolerated-- hell, maybe even liked. she looked back toward leon, her shoulders relaxing when he literally stepped in and stood up for her. with another deep breath, she recovered her stern expression, looking toward the others.
RONNI
"ooh, she liked her" ronni mumbled under his breath to aggie. the serious tone which leon had adopted -- or, rather, which ronni was just now picking up on -- sobered him up only slightly. the whole thing was funny to him for some reason. calix had been his enemy from that very fateful rooftop encounter. he had dreamt of spilling his blood himself. but now... this? it was just too much.
LEON
the boy rubbed his forehead in annoyance, this wasn’t the drama he had signed up for. “goldie i know your brother just died but if you had more than three fucking brain cells, you’d ask yourself how she managed to kill him. he had a weapon, he wasn’t injured and even if she did kill him why would she drag his dead body back here instead of running for the hills?” leon looked at ronni and pointed at him, "now isn't the time for jokes ronni!"
GOLDIE
goldie's hands were shaking. there were traces of blood on her palms in half moon crescents. "you don't need a weapon to kill people! fuck, look at our mentors, leon. this is all a set up. it has to be. she's got to be turning on us. we knew this would happen. i've been thinking about the way the pack was going to split since i met all of you." her voice shook as she turned to nike. "i just didn't think it'd be you."
TL;DR: calix is dead, goldie is freaking out, ronni is happy that calix is dead, nike and leon are stressed™ and aggie is acting like a crackhead as per usual
these violent delights have violent ends // part three
TRIGGER WARNINGS: VIOLENCE, BLOOD, GORE
AGGIE
"I take offense to that!" aggie shouted in annoyance to leon, still remaining where she was standing, still with the arms crossed. but she was watching, she wasn't that gone, not yet. she saw what leon did. fucking cheater. why did he care so much if she lived or died? the moment he mouthed the words to the girl, aggie rushed over to the girl, grabbing her hard by the back of her collar. "oh, not so fast over here, we're having a discussion."
RONNI
ronni, with his full attention focused on calix's corpse and not the trouble that was quickly beginning to brew around him, leaned over slightly and let a long and thick trail of spit -- or a loogie, as the bros from four would call it -- slowly descend onto the boy from one's face. he was paying attention, though; he was just paying attention only to the fact that nobody was watching him and nothing more.
NIKE
nike noticed someone shift and she lifted her head in time to catch leon looking at her and mouthing the word run. she gave a small nod, stepping to the side to try and get away from the group, but then she felt someone pull back on her shirt. her teeth clenched tightly, twisting to try and jerk out of aggie's hold. the urge to swing back and hit her was strong, but nike knew better than to encourage aggie and give her a reason to lash out-- whether it was to hit her or flat out kill her where she stood. "let me go!"
GOLDIE
"i don't know. how do i know?" goldie half-screamed, half sobbed. she was breaking down and she knew it. "how do i know she didn't kill him leon?" she took a step closer towards him.
AGGIE
the moment nike began to twist, aggie clenched down harder, gnashing her teeth together and standing firm, digging her nails past the collar into nike's flesh. as she gripped, her other hand reached into her back pocket, where aggie had stashed the arrows she had stowed away and placed the pointy end against nike's flesh, only just pricking the skin. "i'll let you go once we get this figured out, promise."
LEON
he reached out to her and placed his hand on her arm. "because if she killed him, she wouldn't have come back. she was trying to save him goldie. she wouldn't do that to you, okay?" leon turned around and saw nike still there but with aggie holding an arrow to nike. the boy narrowed his eyes at the girl from four unsure about what to do next. "aggie, let her go."
NIKE
the finger nails digging into her body stung, nike reaching up to grip at aggie's wrist tightly. but before she could wretch her arm away, she felt the tip of metal poke against her neck and she froze, looking from aggie's arm over to leon at his command.
AGGIE
"i just want to make sure no one checks out early, that's all. we're just talking, what's wrong with talking?" aggie's eyes were wide, she could hear her heart beating--or was that nike's? she couldn't tell. she pushed the arrow ever so closer. "i won't hurt her, not unless i have reason to. we're allies, right?" she laughed. "i just want this figured out."
LEON
leon looked from nike to aggie, and it was easy to see the fear in his eyes. "aggie i swear, let her go. if you're not going to hurt her, then you'll let her go." he had turned around completely from goldie and was now slowly walking towards the both of them.
NIKE
aggie's focus was on leon. there was a wild look in the girl's eyes, more wild than normal. the tip of the arrow poked at her neck and nike reacted before she thought. her other hand swung up, her body twisting so her hand connected hard with the side of aggie's face. she tried to twist away after the punch, knowing that if she didn't move, the girl was going to kill her.
RONNI
even ronni couldn't be deaf to all of the commotion that was surrounding him now. calix's head was, at this point, almost soaked more with spit than it was blood. satisfied and with tilted head (he was still letting that loogie stream run low and beautiful) he gazed to the side to see what was happening.
GOLDIE
goldie unclenched her fists. "okay. yeah. you're right." she sighed. she'd just shown how weak she was, and she was going to have to deal with that, but not now. now she had to mourn her brother. the brother she hadn't had since she was six. see? it was getting easier already
AGGIE
for a moment after she was hit, aggie stood completely still, holding her jaw like a wounded animal, the only noise coming from her a slight whimper. nike had a strong left hook, she had, at the very least, dislocated something. with a shuddering sigh, aggie forced her jaw back into place, fixing the girl with cold eyes. "ohhhhh," she groaned, the sound of frustration eventually turning into a delighted laugh. "oh, you're going to wish you hadn't done that." with that, aggie leaped at the girl, her entire body weight connecting with her's as she grabbed onto anything she could find with her hands, gripping onto the girl's ponytail to keep her still. with her hands occupied, aggie only stopped for a moment, unsure of what to do for just a moment. she went in for a headbutt, but at the last minute realized she had a better weapon, sinking her teeth into the fleshy part of nike's cheek.
RONNI
ronni's jaw dropped open and a stream of built up saliva (reminiscent of the dam burst from annie cresta's arena) unleashed itself upon calix's face. in a voice deepened by horror, he straightened his posture and took a step forward -- really, one would think that it would be a step back, right? no, not for him; the ruiz men loved conflict. "dude, wh-- man, what the fuck?! woah, woah, woah! o-oh, my god."
LEON
"nike ru-!" leon began to shout but his words were cut off at the sight of aggie and nike fighting. he didn't know what had gotten over him, but he stood completely still and watched in horror as aggie bit down on nike's face. leon looked over at ronni who was closer to the girls than he was just to make sure he wasn't imagining what he had just seen. when ronni told leon that aggie wasn't all there in the head he took it with a pinch of salt, but now he wished he taken his words a lot more seriously.
NIKE
nike's eyes widened, her feet carrying her faster than her mind was going. she hit aggie, she hit aggie. leon's silent demand to run flashed across her mind's eye, but just as she was about to turn, aggie had thrown her body at her, knocking them both to the tiles. nike let out a loud cry, hands shoving at aggie's body in an attempt to force her off. aggie's face quickly darted toward hers and nike braced herself for the headbutt, but she moved past her nose, teeth scraping against her cheek and then pain. nike screamed, fingers gripping tightly at aggie's jacket and trying to shove her back off of her. but that only caused more pain searing through her cheek, the taste of blood all over her tongue.
RONNI
acting on instinct, ronni took off into a full-fledged sprint. he closed the distance between himself and the warring girls in no time. though the boy from four was small -- he would never admit that, though -- he was mighty. he tossed aggie off of nike with ease and placed himself between the two. as nike screamed, ronni looked at aggie with a different pair of eyes. all the bonding that they had done over the course of the games had evaporated. there, standing before him, was the demon of four that everybody in the academy was wary of. "aggie, what the-- why?! oh, my god." as he yelled, he took the liberty to look back at nike. what he saw was enough to make a bit of bile rise up in his throat. without a second thought, he turned his attention back to aggie.
TL;DR: ronni has finally spat on calix enough to notice everything has gone south very quickly, goldie has calmed down and seen sense, aggie has stopped nike from running off and after nike tries to escape, aggie bites her cheek off but ronni pulls her away before she can do more damage.
these violent delights have violent ends // part four
TRIGGER WARNING: VIOLENCE, GORE, BLOOD
RONNI
"man, what the fuck is wrong with you?! why are you biting her cheek? man, it's gone. like, man, it's gone, gone. what the hell?!"
GOLDIE
"what the fuck?" goldie screamed. "aggie, come on, calm down! i mean, we all thought you were crazy already! you don't need to prove it or anthing, come on. get off her," she pleaded. the emotions still stirring in her from nike's supposed betrayal and calix's death were bubbling back up to the surface.
NIKE
when aggie was shoved off of her, nike felt a burning tear on her cheek that made her scream again, writhing on her side. she reached up, hand hovering over the bloody mess of missing flesh on her face where her cheek once was. her eyes were shut tight, her entire body trembling on the floor. she barely caught the yelling from-- was it ronni? had he knocked aggie off of her? the pain was too much for her to get back on her feet, but she started to slowly drag herself across the floor, attempting to keep moving to just get away from that crazy bitch from four.
AGGIE
she didn't process the movement much--one minute she was on nike, then ronni was on her, tossing her through the air until she landed with a thud. after propping herself up on her hands and spitting out blood and bits of skin, aggie tilted her head as ronni yelled, thoroughly confused by his words. why was he mad? her expression eerily similar to that of a puppy's, aggie's voice came out small and clear "it's the games, ronni. what else would i do?" this started to become funny. she laughed, just a little, though her body was still sore from the short fight. "that's the whole point of all this." she waved her arms around frantically, motioning towards the whole arena. she hadn't expected it to happen so soon, though. but eventually. goldie's words just aggravated her more, but she knew if she were to move a muscle ronni would pounce. the girl was dragging herself away, like a coward. she rolled her eyes.
RONNI
"the games?! aggie, what-- man, you can play the games without biting someone's cheek off. god... nah, that's not the whole point of all of this." he matched her wild gestures with wild and furious ones of her own. "the games are not about doing all of this, aggie. the games are about proving your worth. the games are about showing the capitol and all of fuckin' panem what you're capable of. it's being the best, man! all you've shown us, the capitol, and panem is that you're a psycho, man! a fuckin' psycho!"
LEON
"y'all never heard the saying that you should never tell a crazy person they're crazy?" he frantically looked between ronni, aggie, nike and goldie. he had to do something, and he had to do something quickly. he had no weapons, and to his complete annoyance aggie was in position of the only bow. he turned around to goldie, and in desperation he pleaded, keeping his voice as low as possible. "goldie i need one of your knives, aggie is out of her mind she can't be near us anymore."
GOLDIE
goldie was having a hard time catching her breath. "how do i know you won't use it on me?" she gasped. she was weak and she knew it. she was breaking down for all of panem to see. she was weak, and she knew it. fuck! it wasn't supposed to be like this! fuck. "i'm still not convinced this isn't all a set up by you and nike to kill us all!" she gasped out.
AGGIE
aggie o'connell was getting tired with all this moralizing--from ronni ruiz, of all people. she squinted at her district partner, making it clear she thought his outburst was the peak of stupidity, then, she twisted her head back and forth for a moment before throwing her body again, this time barrel rolling across the tiles until she arrived at a close enough distance to nike to throw a leg over her back, pinning her down. grabbing her by the hair again and tugging, hard. hard enough to force nike to bare her throat, her free hand reaching for another one of the arrows and forcing it into the girl's throat, right above her collarbone. in one fluid motion, aggie jerks her wrist to slam the girl into the ground, forcing the arrow further in.
LEON
leon grabbed goldie by the shoulders and shook her body, "give me the knife goldie! don't you get it aggie is the one that will kill us all!" but by then, it was too late. aggie had left ronni's side and when she stuck the arrow through nike's neck, leon's blood ran cold. he stood there in abject silence - unable to believe what he had just seen. "no-"
GOLDIE
goldie hands him the knife, silent tears running down her cheeks as she watched what nike was going through. "i'm sorry," she murmurs quietly. "i'm so sorry."
NIKE
she had to get away. she could still move, she could still fight and win this-- who the fuck was she kidding? she got her ass handed to her on day one, and now part of her face was bitten off. everyone in the pack except leon was against her and she was literally crawling to get away. she wasn't making it out of this. as soon as the realization hit her, she felt a body weighing her down again. "no--" she started, but she knew as soon as her head was pulled back with a sharp jerk, looking up at aggie, that it was over. the sharp prick of the arrow head in her neck forced a straggled gasp out of her, coughing and sputtering up more blood as the point had pierced her throat. then she was thrown down to the tiles, the arrow burying deeper into her body and she couldn't breathe. she writhed on the floor for another moment before her body finally stilled, her wide gaze blank and lifeless. the boom of a cannon echoed in the halls of the mall as nike aurelius's body finally lay still.
TL;DR: the careers react to aggie biting off nike’s cheek and after being called psychotic by everyone aggie decides to just kill nike and prove everybody right
