Philia stood in front of Ajay, kind of like a moving cover for him. Her gun was raised, but she didn't fire yet. Trying to line up a shot, any shot. These random ass fucking player motherfuckers. She's risking her life for a loan shark, and she doesn't really know why.
Philia finally lined up a shot but, firing, but the bullet missed by...quite a lot. All that skill wasted by shooting Jaxon, huh? Or, was there some other reason why she'd been slightly shifting her aim to the right every time she could've definitely hit.
"Y-Yeah!" Another shot fired off, and another miss as well.

Austin was keeping himself crouched behind the statue that was taking the brute force of the bullets and it was making it crumble to pieces behind him. He needed to take care of things as soon as possible.
No more hesitation, Austin. Come on!
The firing stopped for a brief moment.
This was his chance!
Austin peeked out into the opening and he focused more clearly on where the girl was standing. He just needed to take them both out at once.
He fired his last two shot off, hoping for the best that Ajay would get fucked as well.

Ajay and the girl began to return fire, shots careening off and missing wildly, but Jen’s body hugged the tree all the same.
“Move… just move…” And yet the girl held her ground, blocking Jen from getting a clear shot.
There was a brief pause and Jen realized that she had stopped breathing at some point. The moment held some twisted serenity. Her body tensed as Austin’s next shot pair of shots rang through the area.

Philia's peripheral vision suddenly went out. She didn't even feel herself hit the ground, falling backwards and almost hitting Ajay in the process.
What just happened? Philia tried to feel around, suddenly feeling this strange hot-warm-like water feeling stuff trickling down her lower chest and stomach. Why's this so warm?
Why is it so warm? Why is it getting hotter? Philia's hearing was muffled, like every noise was a big 'wamp' sound in her ears. The senses slowly came back to her, first the sense of tou-PAIN.
The cavities in her only grew hotter, and felt like it was more a stabbing-red hot rod in her chest and stomach kind of pain.
So, that's what happened, then..
Philia's hearing slowly came back too. But all she could muster to say, was a chilling and pain filled scream. Coming to her senses more. "Me pyrovólisan. Me pyrovólisan. Holy fucking shit!"

“Shit!”
Ajay caught Philia and began to backpedal, one arm wrapped around her as the other held the AWP. This was always the way it was going to end, one goes home. Philia made the choice for both of them.
Of course that choice wouldn’t mean a thing if he died right after. It took two hands to use the AWP, one to fire, one to rack the bolt back. There wasn’t enough time to drop Philia and fire. He had to hit this shot or this was it.
Ajay extended his arm and prepared for the recoil. If he could get rid of one of them… He eyeballed the barrel, lined it up with Austin. He hoped he wouldn’t miss.
He wouldn't risk it. He lowered his arm and continued to pull Philia back to the building, back to behind cover.

Catche thinks my squirrel is Fisk so here's my daily reminder that he is not.
Philia bled. Plain and simple. She bled, a lot, of blood. She wasn't long.
Philia tried to get as much breath in as possible, realizing her throat was filling with blood. Jesus, she was hit bad.
A gargley, ragged breath.
"F..Fucking take this, and run with it. You, fucking, boer."
Take what? Philia knows. Her breath began to slow, as did the color from her once colorful face. Her white uniform, drenched in the blood that bled from her. She took one last big breath. "I did..good, right? You did to me..at least..!"
And Philias grip on her gun loosened, her hand falling to the ground. Limp, and unmoving.
Philia Constantinou was dead, after beating many, many odds, and getting much, much too lucky.

"I'm not- there's nowhere to run." He lowered Philia against the wall, kneeling beside her. He glanced between her and back around the building. They'd close the distance on the two of them eventually and finish them off. Or finish him off, Philia wasn't lasting that long, they both knew this.
He faced her, eyes hidden behind shades, peering off to the side as he watched his corner, waited for them to arrive. She made her choice for the both of them. Philia made her choice. One person goes home. Philia chose the loan shark. The loan shark chooses himself. The tale of the scorpion and the frog, a childhood story taught to everyone, repeated to adulthood, ad infinitum. Ajay's lips pursed. "You did fine..."
It sucked, but Ajay had no time for sentimentalities, not in a gunfight. "Go to sleep girl, fight's over for you." The glazed look in her eyes told him all he needed to know. Good. It hurt, but good. No need for the guilt of leaving her to die. She didn't go alone, and hopefully, Philia found peace with her choices. Ajay took his free hand and closed her eyelids, leaving smears of her blood along her face, before backpedaling away, going behind the building.
He gripped his rifle. He would make sure her killers wouldn't find any with their choices. He owed Philia that. Rainbow too. They chose to die for their beliefs, and for that Ajay got to live. Ajay made his choice now.
Like the Scorpion, Ajay chose himself. It was in his nature.

"Crap...." Austin muttered to himself.
He had accidentally fired off all of the bullets and now he was a sitting duck behind the damaged statue. He needed to get some more ammo from Jen, but it would be difficult for him to move out into the open. There was a possibility that he would have to risk his own life, but well, he had to stay in hiding. He had managed to hit the girl. He saw that before he ducked back behind his covering.
He let out a sigh of frustration.
He had been too eager to take the both of them out and now he was stuck in a bad position.
"HEY, JEN!" He yelled as he peeked out into the open and he could make out her figure just barely among the trees. "I NEED AMMO! COME OVER HERE!"

A quiet moment followed Austin’s final shot, silence only broken by shuffling and quiet voices that Jen couldn’t draw words out of, but it was clear to Jen what was happening. The way that girl had been hit, the way she went down, red from the very moment of impact. Austin had removed the only roadblock between them and Ajay.
The girl might have been a killer the the rest of them, maybe cold like her ally, maybe panicked like Austin had been back at the caves, maybe tired and sick like Jen. Perhaps she’d been completely clean, a useful idiot for Ajay. This island did not provide Jen the time to think it over much.
“Ajay’s still out there! Just stay back, I’ll handle it!” She shouted back to Austin. It would be better that way. Austin had already been made to shoot a girl that wasn’t truly involved, who remained nothing but a question mark to Jen, and so Jen would handle Leander’s killer herself.
Catching some movement at the meager cover Ajay had taken, Jen steadied her rifle and pulled the trigger.

As Ajay maneuvers behind the building he could hear one of his attackers crying out that he needed ammo. For now, that meant he was out of the fight, even more so if he got a hit. If he wasn’t the one who shot Philia, Ajay might’ve let him go, but as it stands now, that poe is FUCKED.
He peeked from the corner, only for the whizzing of bullets slide past him. He slid back. He caught a glimpse of the treeline, maybe he could move in?
Ajay quickly peeked and fired off a round, he’s sure he’d missed, but it was close enough for a scare.
Either way, it was enough, he sprinted from building to a nearby statue, sliding to a halt behind it, as he rested the barrel against it’s podium.
“Come on then… You wanna play gangsta, let’s play gangsta…”

Austin could hear both Jen and Ajay shooting at each other and he felt like he had to help out somehow. He didn't want her to end up dying at Ajay's hands and he didn't want to fail her. He needed to make up for what happened to Oscar. He couldn't have another partner dying because of him and his actions.
He didn't see Ajay moving towards another statue and he couldn't see that he was hidden behind it when he peeked back out.
Austin thought that it would be fine for him to take a bigger risk.
He then moved out into the open and he started to sprint towards the trees.

Jen had completely emptied her weapon trying to take out Ajay before ducking back into safety, but the volley of fire received a similar reply, as she saw something blast into a tree that neighbored her own cover.
She needed to focus. She needed to finish this, and fast.
Grimacing, Jen dropped to her knees and began to sift through her bag, pulling out a new clip. The process of reloading such a large weapon felt cumbersome and awkward, frustrating to do when death felt so very close. By the time Jen managed to ready her weapon again, she caught movement out of the corner of her eye.
“Austin, wait-!”

Ajay stood up, he saw movement.
He leveled his scope.
Took a breath.
Held it.
Fired.

Austin couldn't let out a sound as he felt the impact piercing his side and the momentum made his body spin from the jerk of the force through his body. The shotgun went flying from his hands but that didn't matter now. Nothing mattered anymore for him now. He was screwed. There was no way for him to escape this fate.
His body slammed against the ground with a heavy thud and the pain was torturous. He could feel the blood seeping through his clothing and it felt like something had broken inside of him. The bullet must have caught a rib or something. His vision felt like it was getting distorted and blurry.
"Uugh...!" He groaned, trying to cover up the warmth of blood with his hand.
There was only one thing that he could do now.
"J-JEN! RUN...!" He yelled, ignoring the hurt that was starting to overwhelm his body.

Again.
It happened again, but now even worse.
Jen had failed to save Leander, she had let him run off to his doom when she knew something was wrong, failed to save him from Ajay. Now, she had brought Austin into her battle and he had been the one to pay the price.
“I…” Jen started to speak as she just stared at him, laying there on the ground, but her throat was too dry, and the syllable sounded more like a croak. She could have run to him, could have tried to pull him into cover to bandage him up, but she already couldn’t move particularly fast. She was terrified, envisioning an attempted rescue that simply resulted in both of them dying.
Austin freed her of that obligation, though, barking an order to run at her. Her gaze met his and she felt tears forming in her eyes, arms shaking
Jen had messed this up horribly, her determination to see Ajay finished replaced with an overwhelming sense of fear.
And a sense of shame.
Breathing deeply and trying to hold back more tears, Jen hobbled to her feet and rushed deeper into the cover of the trees, never looking back as she retreated from the Circle, moving deeper and deeper into the cover of the jungle, until she wouldn’t have been able to see the two boys if she had wanted to.
((Jen Mara Tuiqamea continued elsewhere...))
