Author note: Both Ansel's and Adelyn's point if view begin at the start of the bloòdbath
Bloodbath
Adelyn Berinar 17, District 2 Female
What the fuck is this?
That's all I think when I look around, pitch black until a screen turns in and little lights on the wall switch on then I realise we are under ground but not all of us the room I'm in or section what ever this thing is mean to be
Only me and one other tribute
Beckham and his final words spin in my head 'I am sorry'
I know he means that in a way, that he will attack me and now he has the chance, I look at the screen seeing a maze of sorts with three sections to a bunch of stairs, to the real arena
Is this a pre bloodbath or just splitting everyone up and forcing fights to happens
In my section there are 6 of us, 4 section of 6
My heart sinks when I see the colours
Beckham, Edison, Asher, Miller and Noah
For fuck sake, 4 anti careers and Loony tune assassin, it's like they want me dead when I finally found the want to live, the need to fight to get back to my brother
I just wanted to run in the courntopia and hide, now I will need to fight especially since Beckham glances at me with a frazzled look but also sympathy in his eyes
I just ignore him trying to stay calm, I have three options
Try and hide
Run
Or Fight
But Beckham his muscular, his weapons is his fist he can easily beat me in a physical fight, I have a pocket knife but he can easily disarm me and I don't want to kill or hurt him, I just want to get out of here
I don't want to be here, in the games but I guess when you are different you get thrown into a killing game, a game I know I won't win
It isn't about winning, it's about surviving and even though I am the hostile career girl I am not a killer
I don't think I ever can be, I fidget with the belt, looking at the map
Jaidyn he was right about a war theme the stairs would lead us to the courntopia, which is surrounded by four section, trenches, a war torn village, mountains and mud then a area with boats, planes, trucks and memorial
It's clear that two section would be a risk, all I want is safety and maybe I should just join the anti careers but I would be more like a prisoner then anything and I will not let anyone take me as a prisoner
Knowing my luck that would happen, Ansel would believe I left, I would be dead in his eyes not that I care about him or he cares about me, joining the careers was just out of necessity
The clock is ticking slower and I wonder if everyone else starts at the same time or it's different then hopefully my allies would leave me then I am forced to join Asher's boy club
'30 seconds'
I glanced at Beckham again as confliciton fills his face and when he looks at him and I get a bad feeling "Please" I say
He bites his lip "I'm sorry" he repeats
I clench my fist in anger wanting to jump from this stupid pedestal but there is no way I'm getting blown up I'm not that stupid '10 seconds'
Breath, just stay calm that's all my brother said, I need to go with my head not my heart this is my life on line, no one elses
It's a question fight or flight?
'5,4,3,2,1'
I throw my self off my pedestal sprinting towards the exit but Beckham throws himself at me bringing me to ground as we roll on the stone, he slams my head to the ground getting on top of me as his fist hits my nose
"Fuck off I don't want to hurt you" I sneer my hand accidentally smashes into the wall a bit of rubble falling down, as I grab it pain erupting in my chin when he punches me again
But he isn't a trained career, he doesn't know how to pin someone properly as he has his whole body weight on me thinking that by punching me repeatedly I will fall under his mercy, I throw him off me as he yells in anger, he attacks me again but I smash the rock on his head, as he stumbles back a cry escaping his lip as I try to sprint for the exit but guilt spreads me as I look back but that was my mistake as he jumps up swinging his fist at me as I duck kneeing his stomach "well I do" he mumbles
"No you just want to impress your anti career leader" I scoff
He grabs my wrist twisting it as I bring my head to his, relieves I did that correctly as he flinches in pain and I get him off me, but this boy is damn determined and he grabs me by my hair flinging me to the ground as I smash into the wall bits of rubble fall on me
A wince escaping my lip as his boot collides with my stomach, he grabs a piece of rock smashing my head, as pain throbs through my head, I grab his knee tripping him to the ground "Just give up, I'm not going to kill you" he says
"Really" I say
He bites his lip "Depends if I agree with you isn't it, well fuck you, kill me" I say
I shouldn't of said that because he throws himself at me again this time trapping my wrists with his knees, I really shouldn't of said that, he grabs a piece of rubble smashing my head again and again until I really believe he will kill me
Is this how I die in the bloodbath getting my head smashed with a rock by some boy from 9
No it is not, I may break the rules, I may hate being bossed around but my life is number one "Beckham wait, what do you want" I ask
He stops staring at me "Are you willing to listen to Asher?" He asks
I nod my head and he gets off me bringing out his pocket knife and placing it by my neck as his other hand from my arm, damn was going to attack him and run but this boy must be serious
But I'm not being some pawn for the anti careers
I don't know what I want to do, stay with the careers, join the anti careers, go on my own
Jaidyn told me to choose the choice that has the least consequences now I'm not sure " Asher" He calls out hesitantly, as I struggle in his grip
A few seconds later I see two shadows, as Asher steps forward and Beckham throws me to the ground, oh fuck him
"She wants to listen to what you have to say" he says
Listen more like run, but I see Edison in the distance, blocking my exit, I am trapped unless I jump over the wall, yet I don't know where the freak is so I should be careful
He walks over to me pushing me down with his boot when I try to sit up, I don't know why I am always the one targeted, I'm not the weakest link in the alliance or the strongest
It must be my loyalty to the careers which is at about 2%, my life is more important at this current moment "Is this a cop out" he asks kneeling next to me grabbing my hands when I try and get up
"I don't know is it because I prefer not to almost get beaten to death" I sneer
He punches me in the jaw, my face is in enough pain "I can take as long as I want, no one else will come and save you" he says
I am able to at least sit up but he shuffles closer "are you going to torture me a little typical don't you think" I say
He punches me again bringing out his pocket knife "Do you want me to or do you want to live" he says
"Live" I say
"Good I was thinking about having you go back to the careers and then betray them but that is too much of a risk, I don't trust you to stay with them so I'm a bit stuck with what I should do with you" He says
"I have to betray the careers anyway" I mumble looking around where is Noah when I need him
"Oh really" Asher says
"I made a deal with Noah, Kill one of the the twins then fight for you" I say
"And he told me to take you as hostage and he will contact you later in the games so clearly he switched sides or is also concerned you will be a coward and back out" he says
I struggle again but he just leans himself on me pushing me against the wall "I'm not a killer" I say
"And neither am I, I only kill careers" he says putting his knife against my neck, my heart beats and I grab his arm but he just stares at me
Knowing damn well, he will kill me "You won't kill me, because if you do you won't have the upper hand" I say softly
"Really, it will be four against five" he says
"Where is Ryker and Miller" I say
"Miller is looking for Ryker" he says
"Yes And Ansel plans to kill Ryker, you just threw one of your soldiers under the bus for me" I say he punches me again anger spreading on his face and I grab a piece of rock pushing him away
Throwing myself over the wall I land painfully on the ground looking around seeing the stairs but the second I try and run off, a fist collides with my nose as hands shoves me done "Change of plans" Noah says jumping from the stairs and walking over to me
"Fuck off you lunatic" I say trying to sit up but he just stabs me in the shoulder with a knife
A throwing knife "Where the fuck did you get that" I say
"My backpack each tribute has one with a weapon that's why we have the key, Hey Asher I have her" Noah screams
I hear Asher and his allies run to the corner "You need to be careful with this one" he says jabbing the knife near my eye without stabbing it
Asher looks a little hesitant "My allies" he questions
"I saw Miller try and find Ryker, he must be still be getting out of his maze I was the only one out there, it's dark and cold outside as well but now I hear screaming, you should get someone to collect backpacks, each are in district colours and had a number and letter" Noah says
I try and get up but he stabs me in the shoulder again "Be careful, get her bag as well" Asher whispers to Beckham
Great, so I'm either going to die or be weaponless
I lash out at Noah who easily holds me down "that better not be a trap" Asher says to Noah
"No it isn't, I believe it's better if you have her, then by day four, force her to kill the one of the twins then let her fight with you, I'm going to try and find a control room and somewhere where I can be in her ear, that's if you trust me" he says
I shake my head at him to not trust him but Noah subtly covered my mouth "More then her" he says
Idiot
Well at least I will get to pay Asher back by stabbing him in the back
Noah unzips his polar fleece taking out a few knives from his belt, so clearly he got out quickly handing Asher a few
As he gets up to run I try to follow him but Edison grabs me as I punch him but Asher Just slashes my back shoving me to the ground, holding the knife to my chin "What did Ansel plan in the bloodbath" he asks
"To leave your alliance alone but kill who the Anti-career weakest link is, so that when you plan to attack they will have a extra number" I say
"Smart plan it really was but I have three allies out there, Ryker should be safe" he says
"Unless his already dead" I say
He sneers at me and I try and get away but he just holds me "What are you going to Do to me" I say
He pulls out the rope from his belt and I sigh "can't I just be your Allie I will join you" I say
"Shit girls are bad liars, plus like I said I don't trust you, I would prefer not to sleep with one eye open at least if your my hostage I can and will kill you if the time is right but Noah is right, we need you fighting with us honestly you are stronger then your district partner" he says
I sneer at him as I hear footsteps down the stairs "We couldn't find him, we looked every where he isn't in the bloodbath and I saw a glimpse of Ansel's watch it said 2 kills" Miller says
Asher angrily hits my jaw "I didn't kill him" I mumble
He just throws the rope at Edison so he can deal with me as he looks like his about to loose his temper "His going to pay for killing Ryker, but we have one of theirs now, we need to mourn him but also need to keep fighting" he says as Edison ties my hands up
He fiddles with my belt grabbing my key and pocket knife "Do I give her the medicine to stop the bleeding in her shoulder" Edison says
"Just half" Asher growls
Edison puts a little bit of medicine in my mouth they must of given us each a vile, I know there is no point fighting Asher is angry, his Allie must of meant something to him
They open up the backpacks each having a weapon, the chosen weapon for each tribute, A taser for Edison which I don't like the way Asher whispers in his ear looking at me, A Cestus For Beckham, A backsword for Asher and Baton for Miller
Asher opens my backpack bringing out the Gladius "You will get this when I trust you" He sneers
Trust or need me but I don't say that his angry at the moment, all of them are and I would be the one that they would use the anger towards especially Beckham and Asher
But maybe this is the best, I am protected I won't be forced to kill yet and if Noah has my back maybe just maybe this is a blessing rather then a curse
Ansel Shenton 18, District 2 Male
I stare at my surroundings, a dark room surrounded by rocks, dripping water only a few lights, the air is thick and cold, the arena silent
Like a underground cave and sewers, that's when I glance at the screen, seeing three pathways, easy pathways, to a case of stairs, I look to my left relieved to see a Allie
Finn glances at me "Take the middle pathway run and get a weapon" I say
He nods his head as I look at the screen, I'm next to Finn, the next section is the twins, the section after that is the girl from 9 and Xavier
So no anti-careers or Adelyn
She can fend for her self I don't need to protect her, if she dies, she dies, if she runs she is my biggest enemy, the girl from 9 is a easy target I can snap her neck with my hands but it is easier to run to the courntopia, grab our weapons looking at the map, each tributes must be in the proximity
I was also told there will be no sunlight so the arena will be dark and they will need a weapon, which means easy targets, I was lucky that the Capitol agreed on the mentor swap, so Tylah is officially my mentor as my brother signed the paper clearly not concerned if I live or die
Or he knew it was for the best as I clearly wasn't going to listen or respect him, and Tylah gives proper advice, he may only be my age, but he has mentored two tributes to victory, he played a smart game
I respect the kid even though he has a thing for my district partner
I was trained for this even though I never knew it, I am a killer as much as I want to be a guard, I know I was raised as a killer and I need to be that boy if I am going to live
I can't feel guilt, regret, mercy
I need to feel nothing, I hold my belt staring at the clock as it slowly ticks down, Run, Grab a weapon and kill
Those instructions tick my head '5,4,3,2,1'
I jump off Finn running behind me as I weave through the walls up the stares, due to the light posts I can see the courntopia, in the distance, no one else is around, I need to get there first
I sprint through the mud almost slipping over but I make it and instead of pile of weapons there are 24 backpacks all in different colours, Finn follows me and I see my other two allies in the distance
I grab the dark blue pack with a M on it seeing the lock, in the distance I see Cohen sprinting in grabbing his backpack then running without a second glance, well if anything I thought he would join in but I note he goes to the trenches a odd location but maybe his waiting
I use the key to open it seeing my war hammer, as Finn opens his Torin and Merrick run in "Grab your backs, Torin stay here shoot any tribute Apart from Noah or the anti careers who try and get their back, Merrick try and target any tribute" I say
I run out and I notice quite a few tributes struggling, like they can't run properly
We all got here fine "They are wearing gum boots makes easier kills" Noah says running past me
"Thanks" I mumble his right apart from Xavier and Kaleb who run past us everyone else is struggling
I need to kill someone, I see a trident fly past me as it lands in one of the boys from 12's chest as Finn runs past me grabbing it "Finn collect his belt" I say
One of the boys from 11 throws his boots off sprinting through the mud I swing my hammer at him as he punches me in the nose shoving me away, I swing at his back grabbing him my the arm "Torin" I scream holding him
He reluctantly lets the arrow fly straight into his head, I throw his body done collecting his belt and handing it to Torin "You don't need to kill now just wait here" I say
He nods looking at the body, he obeyed and that's the main thing, Noah runs past me running back into where he came from I almost follow him but I don't bother, maybe he found a tunnel or he thinks it's safer in there
With the maniac under ground I will feel slightly better, I keep walking until someone smashes into me, the boy from 10 who sneers at me
"get out of my fucking way" he shouts
"Are you blind" I say grabbing his arm as he stares at me, hitting my arm
Cleary this kid is arrogant, suicidal or blind
"Fuck off" he shouts I let him go and he stumbles through the mud, I don't like being disrespected
I slowly walk behind him as he doesn't even realise me following him as I smash the hammer on his back, he slips down and I use my boot to turn him over placing is on his stomach "Next time buddy be scared of a career" I sneer
He doesn't beg, doesn't scream doesn't even look scared he just glares at me a fire in his eyes, I close my eyes brining the hammer onto his head smashing it, I make a face when I see a smashed up skull his face not even recognisable
At home I normally shot, but smashing a head with a hammer, I snap out of it, grabbing his belt and walking over to the cournopria, still no sight of the anti careers
Still no sign of Ryker, because his my target unless his waiting
Someone flashes in as I grab her by the hair, the girl from 9, the rich girl, she squeals kicking and clawing at me
"Merrick" I scream
"Ansel don't He isn't a killer" Torin says
I hold onto the screaming girls waist, slapping her hand away when she claws at me like a rabid cat "Elise help" She screeches, her Allie struggles through the mud as Finn chases her away with his trident towards the trenches making her a easy
Good boy, Merrick walks over, fear written in his face as I see Ryker walk in, Torin shoots his leg as he drops down
I shove Eva to the ground kicking her when she tries to crawl away "Kill her" I say
He stares at me scared "Do what he says Merrick, it will be okay" Torin says
Merrick slowly walks over to her as I see Ryker struggles in the mud crawling back towards the area he come from underground, Merrick pins her down as she screams trying to bat him away but he stares at her
His lip quivering tears flooding his eyes but then his gloves smashes into her head and after the first punch he can't stop, until Torin pulls him off her pulling him into him
I run off as Finn Patrols the area chasing off the pair form three and fighting with Miller
Ryker drags himself and I kick him down the stairs into his tunnels "Lost your allies" I mock
He stares at me grunting as he throws a punch at me, I duck down swinging my hammer, he ducks flying to the side, unlike with me his walls are metal, he trips me to the ground, stumbling over me trying to run but that was his mistake I swing my hammer, pushing him to the wall, as I grab him by the hood smashing his head into the steps, once, twice
"Look nothing personal but you joint the wrong side" I say getting on top of him and brining my hammer up, he tries to push me off but I bring the hammer into his neck, blood spraying all over my face as I blink it off my eyes, grabbing his belt
I walk back up, seeing Miller and Beckham run back towards their tunnels and when they see me they sprint faster, I run back to my allies, Merrick in the corner staring at his hands
"Everyone else left, I think the anti careers are in the tunnels as I saw Miller and Beckham run back" he says
"Doesn't matter they are one down" I say trying to wipe the blood of my face
"So are we, I don't know where Adelyn is" he says
I look around, I heard 5 cannons and I witnessed all, I walk back into the courntopia going through the backs that are gone
The pair from three, Asher's, Noah's, Caden's and Imogen's who I didn't even see run in, Edison's, Xavier's and Kaleb's, Beckham's, Cohen's, Miller's
And Adelyn's
Fucking Bitch
No one would take her bag, because they would need a key plus a gladius is a very difficult weapon to use, she must of ran
I angrily punch the wall as Finn walks over "You sure she ran" he asks
"Her bag is gone, she isn't dead, unless someone else took it I think it's unlikely" I say
"Or took her, Asher wanted her, maybe they have her as hostage" he says
That could be likely but I know Adelyn way more then him no way or hell would she be a prisoner, she would fight tooth and nail, I don't know what tunnels she was in, maybe Noah has her but...
I can't worry about her
I don't care for her
"Doesn't matter, if she left us she is a traitor I will kill her if we come across her, or if Asher has her then let him she won't last long she will get under his skin and he will kill her" I say
"I thought you wanted her for yourself" he says
"I did but I had several, chances to kill her back home it doesn't matter now" I say turning around
Torin stares at me "You two have to kill people to win" I say he just swallows while Merrick still looks at his hand
"I-I enjoyed it" he mumbles
That's why I forced him to kill that girl and I didn't really want to kill her not because I care but it wasn't worth staining my hammer with her blood "Good because you need to kill to win" I say
Torin doesn't look happy "Where is Adelyn" he says
"Gone it's fine we don't need her" I say
We do none of us got wounded but this is a heavily survival based and even I don't know all of it, he bites his lip, I know he liked her, I guess I will be in peace but I sort of wanted her here
I knew I could depend on her if needed, Finn goes through the other backpacks
"All of them apart from Ryker's bag is shit, one as a stick, a needle, scissors, a fly swatted, clearly only some tributes got good weapons" Finn says
"Like some tributes and proper shoes and some didn't" I say
"They are favouring the strong, everyone that got over a 6 who isn't from a outlier district got good shoes, the ones that got over 8 got a proper weapon" Torin says
Well that's good to hear at least, we gather all we need putting the items from if the deceased into our bags, as I look at the map
I see Noah running in the distance towards the military aircraft ""Crazy number one went to the aircraft which doesn't surprise me since he is from 6, crazy number 2 went to the trenches, there is a war shelter over we should be able to set up camp there then hunt the village tomorrow" I say they nod following me as I look at the tunnels no one comes out
I need to forget about, because she may die before I get her hands on me and it's my own fault I had a lot of chances to kill and now we only have four but so do the anti careers well I hope
We make it to the bunker which is completely empty, this should be my forte, hunting people protecting my self and others
Yet there is no one to protect, I am not just hinting I may be hunter
Merrick sits in the corner silent, even Torin looks shaken up but else are what the hunger games are about
Killing, nothing more, nothing less
"Will anyone else die today" I ask Finn since he seems a expert in the games
"I don't know Noah or Cohen didn't get a kill not that both seemed concerned not to in the bloodbath" he says
"They want time and to be alone, killing is a art to them not a necessity" I say
"What is it to you, you could of killed four tributes" he says
"I don't know, I just wanted them to taste the blood with Adelyn gone we are weaker, they need to become killers" I say
It sounds so easy but I know it isn't even killing doesn't tributes didn't feel right for me and I have done it before
Asher Summons 18, District 4 Male
I just yell swinging my fist in anger turning around
I hear footsteps and Edison runs down the stairs "Their gone" he says
Then he see's Adelyn on the ground me standing over her, I just lost it, she said some comment, I got angry punched her to hard
It wasn't her necessarily it was loosing Allie, I have gotten too attached and I know how dangerous it is "Did you kill her" Beckham asks
I kneel down "No she is alive" I say shaking her and hitting her face until she finally wakes, trying to bat me away
"Fuck off" she mumbles
My allies decided that taking Adelyn hostage would be the best thing for our alliance, it's gives me a few days to make sure she is on our side, weakens the career alliances and makes them even more divided plus her knowledge and medical skills will help us
Plus if I get to spend a few days torturing a career I will
Her mouth is the issue and while we are in the tunnels I am not tolerant, I want to find a base, where we can set up camp then I will let her speak
I see the tunnel slightly open as I grapple with her bound hands kneeing her in the stomach as a parachute falls
"It's for you" Edison says, I walk away from Adelyn as she stands up but doesn't run
I open it to see duct tape 'Keep her quiet for a little bit, I see you loosing your temper and ruining the plan-Z'
The plan I literally came up with last night and Beckham played her the whole way, I picked a good group of allies but it hurts to loose one, it will hurt to loose two if more all of them
I walk over to her ripping the duct tape as she opens her mouth slapping it on "I will take it off later" I sneer
"She is entertaining though" Edison mumbles
"Tell me about it" I say she just glares at me
Stage 1 complete, we plan to walk to the end of the village, wait there and hopefully Noah will contact Adelyn
I don't trust him but I need to at the moment at least, I grab Adelyn's arm pushing her forward as we walk up the stairs
The sky is pitch black with stairs but there are several lights in the arena that's when I see the bodies as we walk through
Aiden with his head smashed open
Tarquin with a arrow through his chest
Ari speared through the stomach
"Were you close" I ask Miller seeing his discomfort
"I mean we knew each other back home, you knew everyone in 12 but nothing more then that" he says
I see Edison sprint to the cournotopia when I see a body of a girl not too far, we walk over and Beckham laughs at a girl with her head bashed in
Since three of the girls are all shortish with long dark brown hair, they are easy to tell apart but then I see the district partner and I raise an eyebrow at my Allie confused at that reaction "Sorry it's just she said this morning that horrid people deserve to get their head smashed she was talking to me" he shrugs that makes it somewhat understandabld
Edison was worried it was Imogen "she survived" I say
Yet I can't find Ryker's body but I trust him enough to not run, I have too, I put too much trust in these boys I just met and lesser extent I will need to put trust in Adelyn who stands rigid staring at the bodies
I don't find this entertaining or acceptable, they were kids like me and two of them had their skulls caved in
"We should go" I say dragging Adelyn forward, I have seen enough death and carnage that it should be normal to me but it never is, it never feels right
I do have a heart and that would let me down I keep a eye out in case the careers know I have her, this won't end well, I need them to think she ran, Ansel will get angry then she will die in the career battle
Or I may treat her like my allies but at the moment that seems unlikely as I practically have to drag her along the dirt, I glance at Beckham who punches her in the back and she begins to walk normally "I will kill you if you don't obey and I know you don't want to die, the only reason I'm not killing you is that your not one of them" I whisper in her ear
Or that my launch room was right next to hers and I heard the conversation with her brother which made me hesitant to kill her, she is just a misunderstood teenage girl who is trying to cheat her way through the games because she knows she isn't strong enough
I can relate to that, she stares at me her eyes softer and I almost take the gag off but I just keep walking staying close to my allies, we make it to the village several run down houses and shops that you would see in a 20th century village
As I learnt history
I see a cabin at the corner of the village walking over there Adelyn stumbles on her feet tripping me over, as Edison uses his taser as she jumps "It was my fault" I tell him
She doesn't look happy and I realise she did cop a beating and I am walking fast but at least they have my back, I hand her to Edison carefully opening the door, the windows have curtains so I turn one light on, the furniture is clearly old and I see a key by the door, as I grab it, there is a kitchen with perishable food and a running tap, a bathroom and two bedrooms
This looks safe enough and I doubt the game makers would trap us any ways and all the windows can be opened, I signal them in "We stay in this room" I say
I see a vent with bars by the corner as I grab Adelyn, untying her wrist as she lashes out to me but Edison pushes his taser to her stomach as she crumbles to the ground, I tie both of her wrists to the bars doing them extra tightly as she winces, I lock the door keeping the key on me in case
"So we wait here for a few days" Beckham asks
I'm about to say something when I see the note in the Tv 'Turn on screen'
I look at the remote turning it on to see a digital map "Well we can wait now" I say smirking
It shows where each tribute is, thankfully we aren't close to many, a few tributes are in the village but since it was a long walk here we aren't close and the careers are still near the cournoptopia, Noah seems to be creeping onto the boy from 11
We can see where everyone is and how the careers are far away, how all the threats are far away they wanted us to find this place, I don't see Ryker's don't so I know
I just swallow it down, as I walk over to Adelyn taking the duct tape off "What do the careers plan to do" I ask
She just stares at me now she stays quiet, I take a knife out digging it under her chin
I know how to torture someone for information it's one of the first things you learn when becoming a rebel "To hunt once or twice a day in groups picking off the weaker tributes they want to wait for you to attack them when they had time to come up with a detail plan or more so me and Ansel" she mumbles
I took away Ansel's side kick, I smirk just tapping the knife under her chin "Pretty boy has a brain didn't think that" I say
"Don't be arrogant he is a guard, similar to what ever the fuck you are" he says
My allies begin putting our supplies together searching through the cabinets, I don't even need to tell them way to do they act "A solider don't insult me" I hiss slamming the knife into her ribs not enough to fatally wound her
She winces slightly, it seems that the clothing this year is stab resistant since there are no rips in her clothes
Interesting none the less "A re-" I punch her in the face realising that this is live
"Say that word and I will pull your teeth out with my knife I know how to do that" I say
"Do it then" she says
I bring my knife into her mouth jamming it into one of her teeth, as she yelps and I smirk "Don't worry no one can see don't test me again" I say grabbing the drink bottle from her belt walking to the kitchen and filling it up
I go back to her putting it in front of her lips, she drinks it wanting to get the blood from her mouth and get rid of the pain and I wait and she seems to stay alive so I know the water isn't poisonous as I put it back on her belt
"Edison tell the others they can fill their drink bottles the water isn't poisonous" I say
He nods and I bring out the vile of medicine, if I show her kindness, look after her then maybe she will realise that being my Allie is better, I drop a bit in her mouth watching the wound heal, as I keep the medicine instead of giving it back
"Feel better" I say
"Why" she questions
"I'm not a monster, I look after my allies and prisoners, that's what we do, we take care of our prisoners, until we kill them or they join us you have a choice, I can cut the ropes and give you, your sword or I can cut your throat, you have 74 hours at the moment I like seeing you...helpless" I say
"I always have been" she whispers quietly
"That's why your alive" I say
I'm not afraid to show her kindness, I have become friends with my allies and they have become friends with each other
It's both real and strategy, if they trust me they won't turn against me, and now that one of strongest tributes is mine, I have a Shield if we get attacked not that we will the careers wouldn't be so stupid
She just stares at me confliction in her blue eyes like she understands, I leave her alone walking to the corner "there wasn't much but this should do, we did get the vitamins after all and we all have a vile of medicine each" Miller says
"Hopefully showing we will target the career alliance would be enough, we should get some rest, I will stay out here with Adelyn keep guard you three can go in the bedrooms and I will wake you up in the morning" I say
They all obliged "If you need to swap I can" Beckham says
"It's all good buddy, I know how to stay up long nights plus I need to get in her head" I say
He nods, they trust me and they should I won't kill them, it hurt enough loosing one Allie "You do realise you can't all win" Adelyn says when I sit next to her
"Yes but I don't see the want to win from any of them, I told them that and they agreed" I say
"It's not a want to win, it's a want to live so your saying you would slit your own throat" she says
I stare at her "Slitting my throat would be painful and messy wouldn't it, no I won't commit suicide, suicide is weak" I say
"I can kill you know if you like" she says
I just slash her knee as she growls at me "See this knife this knife can kill you, if I have to put up with you don't be a bitch to me, I could of killed you, just be thankful I didn't" I says
"Your right" she says softly
I know am, I have miss disobedience her self as my prisoner, I may have lost an Allie but we have one more number then the careers now no one else would join them, I know where they are, everything is falling into place "I'm not a monster, I don't kill innocent children for the fun of it, I don't condone this, I know I might not win, so I don't want to play the games doing things that I strongly believe against, I want a outer to win this year, I just don't want to die doing nothing" I say
"I have made my decision" she says
"Keep it until 74 hours are up, I don't trust you" I say
She sighs I mean she isn't trying to escape anymore and her personality is one that can come across mean, I know she wants to join me but she is also looks a little hesitant that my kindness may be a act
It isn't, not towards people I can understand and she isn't a career, she just has really bad luck and her connection with her brother seeing a innocent side to her, I know she isn't my enemy
She never was
Her district partner is the enemy and if I can ensure him and the careers won't win I will
"You can beat the other three but Ansel he isn't trained like I was" she says
"I know that's why I have you, you can fight him, I just haven't analysed his main weakness yet" I say
"Cut the ropes and I will tell you" she says
"Nice try" I say leaning against the wall
She tries to get comfortable as I loosen the ropes slightly, she is right next to me and I'm not falling asleep she knows she is trapped and I think she is okay with that
"Just get some rest, if I wanted to kill you I will" I say
She bites her lip nodding as I help her get in a better position, moving to the chair next Tv, one more death will happen tonight
Noah is closing in on his prey, Cohen seems to be stalking the girl from 8
The weaker ones will keep getting cut off until it's time for battle and I just hope we will be ready
Noah Alson 18, District 6 Male
I slowly drag the knife cross the wall as I hear banging and heavy breathing
Poor, poor, poor Edwin
Some How escape the arena and now he found me, I didn't find him, obviously I would be attracted to the military transport section and when I see a large control room I had to go in, sadly it is locked
Then I saw him, so I threw a through rocks and he bolted into a holding arena for trucks, a maze of trucks and I close the door so he can't get out, it's dark but I can hear his footsteps, the banging
This is my time to shine, I didn't want to kill in the bloodbath, it was risky but now I have the time in the world, I want that control room Cleary they want a show and I will give them one I am a assassin it's my job to kill a target
"Just come out" He screams fear consuming his voice
I just keep dragging the knife trying to scare him I know his north so I walk there I would turn my torch on but I like sneak attacks plus I can't be sure what his weapon was
I already took the second strongest member from the careers out, made the anti-careers stronger, I have already made a impact now I need a sweet reward, a kill to my name
He yells and I hear a large crash that hurts my head I just climb the vechile, I'm have been able to adjust my eyes to see in complete darkness
Unlike him, I see him trying to pick him self up as I take a knife from my vest "District 11 right" I say
"What, where, who are you, show yourself" he says
Oh cute they gave him a butter knife, I can snap butter knives in my hands, I throw my knife which lands in his spines as one of the lights turn on and he crumbles to the ground, I jump in front of him
"What the hell" he says
"Hi" I smirk
He tried to move but his paralysed, that's the great with about a knife in the back, I kick him in the stomach "Your the one that they spoke about, crazy number one or something" he says
"That's insulting call me death" I say unzipping my polar fleece and letting him stare at the beautiful knives in my vest
"Look I just want to be alone, you can have this place" he says
"You were stupid, clearly I am the villain this year since I am not insane like Cohen well not clinically anyway and yet, you came here where the vehicles are where a boy from 6 would take comfort in, so why are you here" I aks sitting in front of him as he tries to back away but I just jam my knife into his knee pinning it to the ground as he screams
The sweet sound of a scream, wait what district is this kid from again?
"Hiding please I won't tell anyone" he says
"Mate This isn't a murder mystery I don't give a damn if you tell anyone I want to give them a show so they will give me power did you know I am a evil genius, like Einstein but like I'm not a good guy like him, you know who Einstein is right" I say
He shakes his head whimpering as I just tease him when he tries to pull the knife out, I can pin him down but I'm wearing light grey and until I find the change if clothes I would prefer not to look red or have try blood stain my clothes, District 8 wears red and I don't want the careers to think I'm district 8 and shoot me with a bow and arrow
Although that would be a fun death having a arrow be shot through you, I wonder if it can go through a brain and out again "Just Relax man I'm not going to kill you yet, I want to get to know you" I say
He was one of the weak tributes this year little was known about him but the careers did pretty shit this year
Him, Fairy Lalala girl from 8 and dorks from three are still alive
And so am I, they are dickheads killing me would of been the smartest thing now both me and Cohen are prowling around
"What do you want to know" he swallows as I stab his other leg
Smart boy pleasing me, he may think I will be kinder, I don't know if I will, I'm am curious about how a tributes brain looks like but I never really excelled at the art of skelping and honestly I don't want to
I'm not that insane I prefer pulling eyes or teeth out
Or liver
A liver is good but I need to taunt him I have time, if they wanted me dead, they would of killed me, Asher or Ansel but Asher thinks I'm the key to beating the careers when really I'm the reason he will die
Shame I like him but his a threat as I need Adelyn to become a killer, so she will be killed by either Beckham or Edison then those two will loose sanity and win that's how I want this story to end
Ansel won't win anyways, he isn't up to it
Me well I'm the poster boy for mental institution and I would prefer to be burning demons in hell or sleeping and killing people in my sweet dreams
Such a fantasy
"First off what district you are from" I ask carving numbers into his leg as he tries to look but I just cut open his chest and he hisses in pain
The clothing isn't ripping, good I would prefer not to look like a freak, I'm into girls anyway, they have better bodies not that I would do that sort of thing on life TV then I will certainly be killed because sexual assult is a big no,no
"11" he mumbles
He yells when I cut his foot off desperately trying to grabs it, I kick his lost limb away
I wonder if it will walk away it's self, I laugh to myself yep I am the poster boy for the crazy physcotic boy, what did go wrong in my life
Oh yes, my job
Oh well "What the hell" he says I crawl next to him now grabbing his hand
"Did your mum use to sing you lullabies when you were younger" I ask
"Songs were illegal in my home" he says
"Well when we were learning the art of torture we learnt the little train song it's a song you sing when your fingers are about to be cut off" he says
He panics know but his paralysed I grab his pinky "This little train went to railways" I say squeezing it
"This little train stayed home" I grab his next finger
"This little Train had petroleum" As I grab his middle finger
"This little Train had none" I say grabbing the next finger
I grab his thumb "And This little Train cried "vroom, Vroom, Vroom"
"All the way home"
I say slamming my knife into his thumb as he screams, music to my ears
"Noah stop this" he whispers
"No, no, no, it's only the first finger silly, so what was your industry" I ask
"Agriculture" he mumbles as I finger his finger and he panics
"All the way home" I whisper cutting off his his middle finger
Tears flood is eyes and I do feel bad for him
Actually no I don't
"Plants and shit what a useless district" I say cutting off his next finger
"and yours was transport right" he asks
"Yeah but I was a assassin, I kill people"
All the way home
I cut off his last two fingers
He screams again
Damn I wished I caught the girl form 8 her screams would of been better, girls in general are better to kill
Like back home I wasn't this, let's say crazy but that's what happens when you drug a guy to act not this crazy and now I don't have those drugs
I wonder if blood turns back
I hit my head, stay focus Noah, I have a control building to open, I draw the number 0 on his hand "Hey look 0 for zero fingers, get it" I says
"Now this song I heard little kids sing all the time because well we are the transport district" I say jumping over him to his left side and kneeling down, placing my hand on his hand
"The wheels on the bus go round and round,
round and round,
round and round.
The wheels on the bus go round and round,
all through the town" I say brining my knife up and cutting half of his hand off, he screams again and I smirk
"Hey you got some blood on my jacket" I say when he tries to grab me
"I wear light grey don't want it to be stained you know, not with your blood anyways your not important at all" I say
He just stares at me blood coming from his fingers, and missing foot
"The wipers on the bus go Swish, swish, swish;
Swish, swish, swish;
Swish, swish, swish.
The wipers on the bus go Swish, swish, swish,
all through the town"
The cut of his wrist and I smirk another scream, another cheer from the Capitol
"The horn on the bus goes Beep, beep, beep;
Beep, beep, beep;
Beep, beep, beep.
The horn on the bus goes Beep, beep, beep,
all through the town"
He screams when I bring the knife down on his elbow, picking of half of his hand waving it in front of him "Hey look a flying hand, you get it, flying" I laugh
See I didn't feel this powerful at home, but I did get sick of kids singing this song, that I rammed their head into the train, not that I'm singing it to him I'm just telling him the words
I don't sing
"The doors on the bus go open and shut;
Open and shut;
Open and shut.
The doors on the bus go open and shut;
all through the town"
I cut another part of his arm off, his scream is more choked this time
"One more verse yeah" I say
He just glares at me but I see the pain on his face, his white pale to be from 11, maybe he just didn't like the outdoors or all the dark people are dying because for the past few years 11 have had light tributes
"The Driver on the bus says "Move on back,
move on back, move on back;"
The Driver on the bus says "Move on back",
all through the town"
He screeches and it even hurts my ears as I cut the bone from the shoulder
"That hurt" I sneer at him jamming my knife into his ear
"Pay back" I growl
He looks barely alive, as I look to the sky seeing the soft jingle of a parachute "Hey look umm what was your name again" I ask speaking into his right ear, since well his the rest is stabbed
"Edwin" he sad
"I got a gift thanks mate, I appreciate you being a dummy I can torture to get the gift, like I feel bad for you, you know because even though you escaped you were ever going last long because you'd not important, but You were very brave" I say craving '567' onto his forehead
He just looks at me "So since you have no arm, and I really want to get into my control room, I'm going to have to cut this short, so I can cut your body up and inflict even more pain on your family, so do you want your throat slit or chest stabbed" I ask
He points to his chest as I slash his neck the cannon booming
Taking my jacket and sweater off putting the gloves on as I take his token form his pocket, oh a grassed bracelet cute
He must have a sister
I repeat stab his face and body until he can't be reignited, I take the gloves off putting my sweater and jacket in not much blood on my clothes as I open the parachute 'For a crazy homicidal freak they love you-K'
I just wave at the camera, when I see the key and head set, as I quickly run to the control room opening it, I see several screens, a map, a screen which each tributes, whether they are alive dead and status
Then the screens of what is currently going on, I switch the head set on, clicking a button as I can listen to the conversation going on between my district partner and his Allie
This is perfect, even better I see more throwing knifes and a change of clothes in the corner, light gray this was for me
I walk over to the tap washing my hands, now I just watch listen and wait, my next target the blonde boy from three is arguing with his district partner, they will split and he will be a loose deer chase
And murder
Brutally murder
I glance at the screens, no one else is injured even Adelyn but I do love how she has a prisoner status
In actual fact I will be loyal to the girl, I will save her life twice for helping me, Asher though well he is dead, his just not the puppet I want
But if things go my way, no careers will win, I could try and win but since I showed how murderous I was before I doubt they would want me, because I need to kill a lot to feel relaxed unless I can keep being a assassin but then the secretive weapon is gone
For some reason no would see me as a killer, people ,would approach me since I am as muscular or low life prostitutes would see me as attractive, would flirt with me as I normally made sure they can never do there job again
And no I didn't kill them
I listen in to the careers the tension is clear, they are divided no
Two on two, they think Adelyn ran
But they will get a rude awakening once the anti careers attack and I just get to watch the show
