She didn't know what she was expecting but it felt cheap that he would just poison her and run. And yet as she ran threw her options she couldn't think of many that she particularly cared for.
Calmly lowering herself to the ground she examined the wound. Too high on her leg for her to suck the poison out herself. If she could find Diana in time perhaps she would...
Her heart was still beating too fast. A few deep calming breaths to slow the burn that was already creeping up her leg. Using her fingers to rip the fabric around her wound she saw her veins were turning black just beneath the skin.
"Pathetic." She sighed and not for the first time, her heart felt heavy.
She had lost. Just as she'd feared. Years of training, preparing for an arena and she was only capable of winning one.
Well...at least she had given the city at home a good show.
Rising to her feet she began limping her way back to camp. She wanted to be sure Diana was aware of her oncoming death.
And when she returned home? She would take great pleasure in watching that scruffy little newcomers eventual death. Perhaps she would greet him when he finally returned to the Capitol.
Imagining the look on his face the next time he saw her gave her the smallest of pleasures to sooth her heavy heart.
