Identified
This is a story of Thresh and Foxface.
I thought of it because I think they were in the same area in the arena in the Hunger Games.
Tell me what you think, this is my first story in a while, but first on here, enjoy! :)
Everywhere I go in this moronic place, all I hear is "Foxface". No one really knows my name, Marissa, and I like that. Means I'm kinda like a secret, that barely anyone knows about, easier to hide if no one knows me, expect one. Other than the tribute I came here with, who wants nothing to do with me which is perfectly fine, is Thresh. I think of this as he approaches me.
"Come over here." He orders leading me towards the camouflage station. I notice he is covering up his left hand as I follow him to the table filled with fruit, leaves, and pictures, as if it's injured.
I take a glance around the room, the Careers are watching everyone as if we are "a meal", as I heard Katniss say to Peeta earlier in training. My auburn eyes turn back to Thresh who is squatting next to a bush, just grinning at me, as if he wants me to see something. Standing a few feet away from him, I shift my attention to his arm he was covering earlier, and it seems to have disappeared.
"Wow Thresh!" I exclaim running over to his arm. It's painted the same shade of green as the bush it lays in front of. "So you're strong, smart, and now an artist?" I smile up at him. I know from the stares and words he receives people are scared and intimidated by him, but honestly? I see him as a giant teddy bear, sweet and strong about what he believes in.
"It's easy," he exclaims. "Just put some leaves on, and done." Thresh beams at his crafty work.
"Reallyyy, well that's nothing compared to this." I skip over to the identifying plants station. As photos of plants and food appear up on the big screen, my fingers swipe the keyboard below me, pushing all the correct items. After I'm done, my score comes up; 100% correct, time; twelve seconds. Now it's my turn to grin up at Thresh.
"Let me try!" He jokes as he steps up. I stand there watching him try for what seems to be an hour. Finally he finishes with 36% correct and time, twenty nine minutes. "Well, I may not know which are edible, seeing as I spend my days in the factory, but I know which can heal, do you?" He tilts his head to the side playfully, letting me know he's not trying to come off as crude, which can be hard for him with his strong and big build.
"Nope, nope I don't." I think to myself for a moment, then I think out loud. "You are strong, I am weak, but I'm stealthy, small, smart, and can get around with no one noticing, you couldn't sneak up on someone for your life," I look up to him with laughing eyes. "I know which foods to eat and what not to, you know how to heal.. you and I, when can help each other, protect each ot-"
I'm interrupted by the Careers.
Cato, yes I've taken the time to learn their names, it may be good to know the names of the people I could be killing, pats Thresh on the back as if their pals. "Hey..uh..."
Clove kicks him and mutters "Thresh".
"Yeah Thresh, you're strong, so are we, and we thought it would be a good idea if we all became allies." Cato shows of his white teeth that hide a mouth that has probably never tasted hunger. Marvel joins in.
"Not you, Foxface." He smirks as Glimmer giggles. I just stare at the back of Thresh's head. Surely he wouldn't join the Careers, especially since just moments ago I had been asking the same thing!
But then again, this is the Hunger Games, and anything can happen.
