Bloodbath
Taryn Ranrean 16, District 2 Female
I clutch Raiden's letter in my hand like it's some sort of comfort for me and as much as I really want to hate him, he really wanted to apologise to me this morining and I pushed him away and would of ripped the letter if Callen didn't stop me
The thing was I forgave Callen, last night when he almost abandoned me, I forgave him when he came back but I can't forgive my own brother and I don't know why
My hands are shaking and I carefully put it in my pocket, I will read it eventually, that's if I survive this bloodbath, Me and Sebastian ended in very bad terms, I'm so confused on what to do, do I run in the bloodbath with the intent of letting one of the death boys kill me, do I run away like a coward leaving Ellis or Do I find my allie and try and fight to survive
All my life I have gone with my instincts, heart over head but my fear to die, the need to keep fighting the loosing battle I have for 16 years, I don't do well with stress or emotions, I need Callen, the last words he said to me was 'find someone to fight for' that's all he said, I know he has a soft spot for me and that he was talking about himself, It's nothing romantic, but he is more of a brother then Raiden has ever been but maybe I should give him a chance, maybe he was Talking about Raiden
The second our pedestal rises, I feel the rush of chilling air, no wonder we are wearing gloves, snow boots and snow jackets but I'm alone in a small dark igloo with only a few blue lights, I see a exit and a pathway, so they split us up then I read the writing on the screen 'Welcome tributes as you notice all of you are in separate igloos but your not alone, there are 12 pathways and 12 ladders to the hill which has the courntopia, each of you are paired up, but killing eachother is not compulsory, good luck and may the odds ever be in your favour"
I see then the large screen, 12 pathways, 24 igloos, 24 dots but 12 different colours with either F or M, I see mine on the far corner and when I see the dark blue M, my heart drops, there is no way Sebastian would let me run, of course Archer would do this, I don't want Sebastian to kill me anymore or Payton, So what do I do, fight, win and kill or fall by the hands of my biggest enemy or even Allie
Ellis is getting too attached, and so I am, his the closest thing to a friend I have but if I asked him to kill me he would, so know I just need to survive my manic blonde delusional district partner and not be a bloodbath "30 seconds" My hands shake more but it's not the cold, it's fear
I still have trouble controlling myself, my mouth got me in trouble, I sort of derserve to die, I made Sebastian worse, made him feel more lost but I cant let him kill me, I'm just too scared, fear does something to you, it makes you do things, things I don't think I can handle, hopefully I only have the screen but I doubt it, maybe Sebastian will just run
Who am I kidding
He wanted my blood on his hands for years, he won't take this prime opportunity for granted, will he?
No I have to be realistic, he will take this chance, so I either try and make a run for it, fight him or wait here hoping he will get impatient and leave "10 seconds"
I need more time '5,4,3,2,1'
Im expecting a cannon but nothing, I stay still and I see dots move to the ladder no one seems to be fighting, I guess Theon and Brecken are together, so are Payton and Mathias
Sebastians also moves and after a few seconds my dot is the only one left, did he really leave me, I step off my pedestal almost slipping from the ice, great, the area I use to live in was always snowing but I never had to fucking ice skate, I make it to the hallway, making my way to the ladder but I crash to the ground before I can even grip it
"Think you can fucking get away with insulting my siblings like that" Sebastian says brining his boot to my stomach I wince in pain trying to sit up but it's pretty hard with him standing over me especially with his other boot pushing hardly against my wrist
"Say something" He screams this time kneeling down and pulling me up so I'm closer to him, I can't move my hands, actually I can't move at all with him on top of me, he was always taller, stronger, I can't beat him in combat but I don't think he is here with the objective to kill
"Its the truth, they hid things from you" I say
He growls, his fist meeting my mouth, I just let him, let him take his anger out, I changed my mind, I want Sebastian to kill me "This is so fucking low Taryn, you call my sister a prostitute, my older brother a rapist who was cheating on his girlfriend and my other older brother to sell morphling, what are your trying to do here, punish me, make me hate them" He says pulling me closer
"It's the truth" I say again
He slams my head back but I don't react "You made a fool out of me the first day of training, made me this outcast, this lunatic, your brother tortures my sister on life TV, your other one burns my family to ashes but you dare make Lies up about my family and I drop any fukcing deal we made because I will torture you here and now, I will be coated in your blood until the end of the fucking games, so tell me the fucking truth are you making this shit up or did this really happen" He says
His hand grabs my chin "I have and will never lie to you" I say
His hand leaves my face and he gets off me turning around "I know when you lie and your telling the truth, I'm giving you 30 seconds to run then I'm coming after you" He says
"Are you serious" I say
"I'm down to 25 seconds" he says, I jump up sprinting and climbing up the ladder, I feel blood pour from my nose
I can hear him scream something which I know isn't actually English, the second I make it through the surface a arrow flies by my head and Brecken stumbles over me, he falls half on top of me "Bye, Bye" He screams jumping off me and running off, alright then
"Bulleyes" Brecken screams my eyes widen because he points the arrow at me but laughs switching it at the girl from 8's leg but in fear she ducks and it goes in her head, the first canon sounding, Brecken squeals accidentally hitting the girl from 11 in the head with his bow, she stumbles back and Theon walks over to him "What" He growls
Shit I forgot about Sebastian I keep moving forward Ellis was on the other side and this hill is huge filled with trees and houses but I can clearly see the large ice counrtpoia, although it's a bit difficult because it's night time, thankfully there are heaps of lights to make things seeable, I bash into someone else but this time it's the boy from 11, he looks afraid so I push him forward "Run" I say
He nods about to run but a sword slashes his chest before he can do anything and he drops to the floor "Your not very quick" Sebastian says
I step back, Sebastian puts his sword down lunging at me and I duck down and he skids to the ground tumbling over, I try and run but his hand grasp my foot pulling me down, he rolls over so I'm on bottom, his fist makes contact with my jaw but I don't do anything "Fight back" He screams
I don't, I let him knee my stomach, or smash the back of my head to the ice, I let him painfully twist my wrist even when he just furiously begins backhanding me so I would fight back, I let him "Fight back dammit, just fight back" he screams
This place is like a maze up here, so I'm not surprised by the lack of cannons but he still found me, pain spreads across my face but he doesn't stop, he wants me to fight back and so I do, with all my strength I push up but that was a mistake since his head smashes against a sharp pieces of ice, I panic but no cannon sounds
Thankfully he moves his head up, blood coming from his mouth "Why didn't that kill me" He asks
I shrug "I fought back now what" I say
He stands up swaying to the side "I'm going to fix this concussion you caused while you should either find your allie, die or come with me, so what's your choice" He says
I take off running and he laughs, for a second I thought I killed him but he seems fine, I keep running until I see the girl from 11 getting approached by Theon, He kicks her down slamming the end of his halberd on on her stomach, I'm about to run and stop him but I get pulled from behind "Don't be the hero Taryn, they always get killed By villains" Payton says quietly
I take the risk slamming back and getting out of his grip, he swears but before I can try and run, he throws himself at me getting me to the ground, due to his height and build, he easily pins me down pressing his knees painfully by my ribs, he puts his hand on my mouth, I stay still he may have a weapon and I don't want to take the risk
He slams the end in her stomach once more then brings the blade stabbing her over and over again but she isn't dying "Sly dogs, they fucking injected us" Payton whispered
I don't know if I should be confused on what they injected us with or how he knows, Theon gets annoyed pushing his knee on her neck then a snap gets followed by a cannon "His not that creative isn't he, they are giving us the bloody chance to torture and the Dimwit snaps her neck" He mumbles, I realise he has moved one of his knees from my wrists so I use this chance to punch him in the neck pushing him off and running
I forgot he had a Allie, actually two and one of them uses a whip, I fall to the ground and Tanner pushes me down when I try to get up, thankfully he isn't as strong as Payton so it's quite easy to push him off, Mathias is a issues though he flicks his whip at me while Tanner tries to grip part of my pants, I accidentally kick him in the face making him swear while I fall on the ground trying to crawl away, Payton is just standing there leaning against one of the cabins "Really?" Mathias says
"I have done quite a lot of dirty work, just help me or leave" He says but none of them leave
"You haven't killed, not so assassin like are you" I say
He scoffs walking over to me as I stand, probably should of kept my mouth shut, this time Tanner has a grip on my waiste pulling me down while Mathias places his boot on my arm, great, I'm pretty much in top of Tanner but his holding me, I'm smart though and he isn't, I roll over making Mathias fall over and I'm able to crawl away
Mathias grips my hair though pulling me back and throwing me to the ground with a angry scream, I painfully land on the ground "Your anger both impresses and scares me" Payton says
"Like I told you, I don't know what I'm doing half the time" He says
I get up trying to run but Tanner flings himself at me, both of us crashing to the ground, although his much taller, he doesn't have much strength as Payton or Sebastian so it's easy to roll over, we go through this stage of rolling over eachother until he gets angry and smashes his head into mine, he reels back in pain and I push him of just to run straight into Mathias who turns me around wrappings his arms around me
Payton walks over taking a knife from his pocket, I struggle in Mathias grip and he plunges the knife in my stomach twisting it, I almost fall forward but Mathias holds me up and Payton puts a hand on my shoulder, he takes it out and I use this chance to throw myself out of Mathias grip accidentally stepping on Tanner, I try and make a run for it but Payton throws himself at me getting me to the ground, he falls ontop of me digging his fingers in my wound "Now I should kill you but I won't, that won't be fair, but mark my word in a few days I will be coming for you, I have just as much reason as Sebastian and don't get yourself killed before then" He says getting off me
"Your just letting me go" I ask
"I'm technically leaving you for dead like a wounded animal you have always been but yes I'm letting you, I would try and run if I was you, try and get as much of a distance away from us as possible" He says walking off
I get up the pain is bad but I never complain, it's better then being dead I try and walk through the snow hearing screaming in the background, but I stumble down knocking my head, I don't think I can do this, try and escape a large hill, in the freezing cold, during the night with only small lights, no supplies, no weapons, all alone
I should just stay here wait for the wound to kill me, give up, but I get this nagging feeling in my stomach, I never give up, I stand up once more trying to walk but I fall over once more this time, a arm catches me and I see Ellis, he holds me up, actually looking relieved I am alive
"Theon he told me you were dead" He mumbles
"That's ironic since he didn't see me but I can't be any happier too see you" I say
He smiles looking at my wound and his eyes widened "Its not that bad it's just a scratch" I say
He raises an eyebrow lifting my top up "How are you not dead, a wound that deep, should of killed you" He says
"We are injected with some medicine, Archer probably was hoping I will go through a torturous death, only a few ways can kill you instantly" I say
"Your not giving up are you?" He asks
"Well unless you have miracle medicine that can save me, I will go through a slow and painful death where I will bleed out until Payton finds me and ends me himself" I say
Ellis looks away "Well you may not have miracle medicine but you have a miracle mentor" He says
"Why did you come back for me?" I blurt out
"You remind me of a close friend of mine, I will stay with you until we are forced to fight" He says
"And your willing too?" I ask
"I don't know" He mumbles
And I don't know if I should let him
Payton Reves 17, District 6 Male
"Are you just going to stand there laughing at me all day" Theon snaps
I smirk once more after I left Taryn for dead and screamed at my allies to do something, I thought I would see how skilful Theon was but he hasn't done anything after killing that girl, poorly may I say
"Laughing, judging, questioning how creative you are, you could of tortured her instead you snapped her neck" I say
"I didn't want to waste some time on some weak girl when there are more people to kill" He says
"Do you see anyone else here" I say
"I see one" He snaps
"I don't count, see I may not even be human, I could be a spirit already dying thousands of years ago, I could be a machine built by the captiol because clearly I feel no humans, actually I could even be a mutation, did you think of that, clearly I possess abilities and personality that no human has maybe I'm supernatural, heard of those stories right, oh of course you wouldn't you spend most of your time plotting revenge on the elite instead of stealing precious captiol material, see I'm a very observant and intelligent person, they injected us since they want more slow and bloody deaths, although 3 tributes have only died which is poor if I say so myself" I say
"You haven't killed anyone" He says
I take my knife out of my pocket waving it at his face "See this beautiful sharp knife covered in fresh blood, I have been very busy, I knew we were injected so I hunted my prey leaving them as a wounded animal, clearly they wont die but this will slow them down, I'm not a really a kill, kill person, I plot each of my deaths very carefully, the people I kill need to be good or worthless, I also have ways of targeting them, none of the tributes I saw were worth my time, now I could of killed that tribute but they are very important for my game, and my plan to destroy everyone in my path coming home as Victor where I can cause terror on this entire place and be forever powerful and coated in blood, I just haven't found your purpose yet or maybe I have, so enlighten me why I shouldnt kill you right now" I say
"Because I know your main goal, I also know what happend to your brother, I can keep Sebastian occupied seering him away from Taryn so you can have her for yourself, I can even bring her to you but I need something from you" He says
I twist the knife in my hands "You really think it's a good idea to make a deal with the devil Theon" I say
"You won't kill me, if you wanted to, you would of" He says
"Fine, let's hear it" I ask
"Kill Sebastian not yet but after Taryn is dead, kill him" He says
"Getting someone to do the dirty work for you, have you grown weak, are you scared pretty boy will beat you, how adorable, look I don't kill for other people just myself, I admit Sebastian is in the way of my number one goal but I don't really want to kill him we have the same goal, we went though the same thing, I'm not saying I won't, I can't wait to burn him alive like you wish, it would be a very sentimental death for him, wouldn't it but not yet, final two maybe, but I will make you a deal bring me Taryn and I will make sure your little Sebastian problem is dealt with, or you can just kill him yourself, I know you want to but something is holding you back, so what is it Theon, Do the right thing or cowardice thing" I say
"Your drive me crazy, you know what I won't fucking help you I will find Taryn and kill her myself" He says walking off
"Go ahead, you made a mistake not killing me" I scream running down the hill before he can react
I make it to the winter wonderland area looking for my allies, but then I hear ruffling of snow in the distance and I pull out my sword blocking Sebastian's blow when he comes from my left "How?" He says
"Had a feeling, I'm physic, A very powerful individual did you know I can predict deaths and you well, you have a chance to win this, I don't know how but I have this feeling, I don't know what everyone's deal about you is, I'm use to being the one to be praised for my looks, maybe I should change that make you the monster you truley are, pretty on the outside but ugly in the inside, you really don't want to fight me Sebastian" I say
He tries to push his sword against me but I easily push him down levelling my sword to his neck, he looks taken back "How are you that strong?" He asks
"Very good question, let me see I was raised as a assassin, your training looks like a school yard game compared to the one I had to do, that's all I know, all I will ever know, my talent for killing is something special, see this knife, so easy to get the blood on this" I say
"So you don't kill but keep a bloodied knife as a trophy congratulations" He says rolling his eyes
"It's the blood of your District partner, poor girl I left her for dead, who knows where she is know, stuck in the snow, all alone, bleeding out, where anyone can hunt her down and cut her down, my allies are following her blood trial now, so you can either find her or fight me and I will kill you and steal your kill" I say
"You really want me as a enemy" He sneers
I push my sword deeper drawing blood from his shoulder "You enjoy pain don't you, the blade cutting your skin, it calms you" I say
He growls at me, and I just kick him back down "See you don't even flinch" I say cutting deeper, grinding my sword against his bone
"You won't kill me" He says
I nod putting my sword back stepping away "No I won't because Sebastian you are a very important for my end game, you are the shell of a perfect victor, good looking, strong, aggressive, a sad backstory but you lack the brain, see I'm far from a perfect victor because I'm a wild card they know that, they don't want that, I admit I love my irrational behaviour, my wierd mood changes, some days I just want to stab someone another die I want to skin someone, Yes I may only have two moods which is angry or murderous but what's the point of feeling happy when really reality is not real, it's just some sort of delusion, now about you, you understand the world, you are the one that can shock everyone, the easy to feel bad for, lovable murderer, that will steal and break hearts, now I admit you are my biggest threat apart from Taryn but I'm here to help you" I say
"If I'm your biggest threat why won't you kill me, why didn't you kill her" He says
"If you two are dead, it will take the fun out of the games, I kill Theon, Kill Mathias, I easily kill everyone and win this, see Theon came to me asking me if I can kill you I didn't give him a straight answer his threatened by you but I have a solution that will benefit both of us, you and Theon hunt tributes while I hunt Taryn, I found her, torture her a little but then me and my allies attack yours, I bring her to you, while helping you get rid of Theon and Brecken while I cut the lose rope Tanner, and me and Mathias run, you have Taryn in your hands, your biggest enemy dead and I well will start with my next plan" I say
"You know half the time I don't understand what you are saying" He mumbles
"I know, it was so funny, so I caught this girl at home and I was rambling about my life story and she was like do you speak English, so yeah it's hard to understand, so you either say yes to a temporary alliance with me bringing Taryn to you and not killing you with, you not killing me to the final 4" I say
"Final 4, why not final 12" He says
"Sure but instead of bringing you Taryn alive, I will bring her to you dead" I say
Ofcourse its lies, yes I will bring Taryn to him but he will die in the battle and I will obviously win because if she does run, I have Mathias, and I have Ellis that would bring me to her, I have all the power, plus although I seem to respect Sebastian I will take joy on ending his life, painfully might I say
He stands up "Deal" He mumbles annoyed
"By the way, how did you walk around the bloodbath not getting a single wound from my Allie" He asks
"Its called immortality, no I'm joking, I am human, I don't know ask him, I was laughing at him for about 5 minutes and he didn't attack me, I scare people, fear is a strange emotion isn't it, it can make the big bad ones, hide in fear like little children, your scared, I was scared, but I turn that into rage, so leave before I wound you more, I like what blood does in ice, it stains it, makes it a mark" I say
He nods running up the hill and I walk other to my allies "I didn't hear a cannon" I sneer
"Couldn't find anyone no foot prints not blood trials, we did enough" Tanner says
I'm about to answer when I hear screaming "Wait I can't run, his arrow hit my leg"
That's the religious girl, her allies run leaving her to fall on the floor "There you go Payton a wounded animal for you to maul" Mathias says
"I'm not a dog Mathias, I'm a assassin, not really fun killing a wounded animal is it, but might as well, I haven't gotten a kill yet" I say walking over to her my allies follow, I'm impressed by how good Mathias is acting
"Oh thank you my allies left me can you help me please" She says
Oh right it's dark, I light the torch in my face smirking "Oh my good it's you, son of satan, god forgive me for speaking to this sinner of earth"
That's a new thing "What the fuck is a sinner" Tanner asks
I ignore him pulling my sword out "For once in my life I'm not in a torturous mood mostly because your not worth my time, but I promise my self I would get a kill before the moon switches and we'll it's almost on the other side and I'm not one to break promises to myself" I say
"Please I beg you, god will reward you" She says
"I'm an atheist" I say
"oh my god mother forgive me for talking to him, please" She cries
"I don't understand what is going on normally when my victims beg, they say please don't kill me or I will give you all my money, this one girl said she will be my personal slavdfor her whole life that didn't work well with her but you, I don't want or believe what ever the fuck you believe in in my Kill list so, I either cut off your legs and make you die of infection, hand you to the careers or a goth can kill you" I say to Mathias
"Really, the second time today I have been called that" He says
I shrug fingering my blood stained knife in my hand, coated in the blood of both District two tributes, I step back next to Tanner "Or you could put our hand up" I say
"Why can't you do it, your all talk" he says
I smirk slamming my knife in the back of his shoulder making him drop to the ground "what the hell man" He screams
I ignore him looking to see Mathias already wrap his whip around the girls throat she is still wailing and with a snap, she drops and her cannon sounds, I help Tanner up "That was a arm spasm" I say
"Sure but why didn't that kill me" He says
"Because I didn't cut deep enough the force made you drop and because you thought I stabbed you deeply, you imagined the pain, it's all mental, it's barely bleeding, if you really want pain Tanner, I can make you feel pain" I say softly
He shakes his head I put my hand on his shoulder pushing him forward, there is a village taking the majority of the arena, but I can see a palace of ice sculptures and the factories, one which catches my eye "We hunt now and I think I know which alliance would divert to the toy factory" I say
"3 and 5" Mathias says
"Easy and next time don't think I'm a little kid I can kill" Tanner says walking off, I feel like letting him attack them om his own but I want a kill, I haven't gotten one yet and deserve one
"Have you gotten close to him" I ask
I notice him and Tanner seem annoyed by the cold, Mathias can't stop shaking me well, I took my gloves off and I'm still warm "yeah, his a lot of work though" He says
We make it to the entrance "you sure they would be in here" Mathias asks
"Are you really questioning me" I say
"No, just asking the question" He says
"well no but I'm a predictor" I say
I also know not to be too arrogant
Elliot Renlyn 16, District 5 Male
That wasn't so bad, I expected an actual bloodbath, blood flying everywhere, tributes fighting, people dying but only 4 cannons have gone
"Maybe they wanted a small bloodbath why else would they make the area like a maze" Cecily says
She is right "Who were you next too" Elia asks
"Tanner, I bashed into him and he tried to fight me but when he realised I wouldnt do anything ran" Cecily says
"That religious girl, she sort of started kneeling on the ground praying and asked if I can join her" Wyatt says
"Aisley" I mumble, I don't mention what happend, again I didn't mean it, I just didn't want to be in there alone so I sort of pulled her down and she knocked her head, she didn't die Atleast
I had a mental Stability of 12 but I'm killing and hurting people by accident that doesn't sound stable to me, maybe it's the survival inscint, I'm afraid to die so maybe I do things that are Normal, maybe hurting people to survive isn't a bad thing, maybe it's the Normal thing "Ellis, just ran" Elia says
We ran into the toy making factory because we saw a lot of the tributes head to the village, it's still nerve racking, there are alliances that would hunt, that would kill on spot, even torture "The riddle was right when it said we don't need survival skills, look in here" Wyatt says
We follow him to see a supply room, full of blankets, food, water, change of clothes "there's even a bathroom this has got to be to good for true" Cecily says
"Maybe they want tributes fighting eachother instead of fighting for their own survival" I say
"Or they want the insane tributes to become more insane bringing in more entertainment and the tributes that hate killing to become killers it's a perfect fairytale character, oh my god they have a library" Elia says bolting off
"And a trampoline, okay I love the hunger games" Cecily says running off too
"Do you think instead of playing around we should realise where we are" I say to Wyatt
"Yep totally agree, oh wow they have mini robots this has to be a dream come true, thank you Panem" He says
I sigh watching my allies have fun, we are still in the hunger games, we still need to realise that we can die, I go into the supplies closest looking through everything when I realise the window is open, it's still cold I jump on the bench when I see three shadows outside, due to the outside light "We are not throwing a match, this has electricity Tanner, and gas, which will probably cause an explosion you idiot" Mathias sneers
"I do like the idea of burning but leave that for Sebastian, it would be too peaceful for them, let them turn against eachother, but we only kill one that will cause a rift in an alliance, Elliot will start to realise that he is meant to be something special he will probably kill one of his allies, then the other one will run then boom 4 birds with one stone in a very lengthy plan, you too are to rash and be nice to eachother" Payton says
Shit, I quickly jump down from the bench realising that there is a box with wires, that are in charge of the electricity, I pull Cecily off the trampoline dragging her with me "what the hell" she says
"please be quiet" I say I open the box taking out a knife then cutting the wires, the electricity cuts off
"Was that me" Wyatt screams
"Be quiet" I say
He mumbles something and I keep my grip on Cecily "Nice job three you even cut the electricity off here, do you know anything" Payton shouts, Cecily's grip on my hand tightens
"that wasn't me" He screams
Seriosuly?
I see light and notice they all have torches, I grab Cecily's hand pulling her along "Where is Elia" I ask
"The library I don't know where that is" She whispers
"Got to love a game of spotlight but really love birds, telling us where yout smallest Allie is isn't a good idea but A+ for effort" Payton says shining the torch on my face
"Wyatt get out here" He screams
"I can't see, oh shit" He says, he slams straight into Payton who grabs his arm flinging him to the wall, he falls next to us
I push Cecily to run but she runs straight into Mathias who keeps a grip on her arm "Elia get out of here or all three of your allies die, come out and we will decide which three leave and which one dies" Payton says
Nothing no sound, no movement, no nothing "Atleast tell us where you are" he says
Nothing "Elia please just come out" I say
Tanner then points his torch to a open window, right behind the library "Well looks like the little girl had guts, or she has been kidnapped, probably the first option, unless bogey man is real, heard that tale, all the little kids believe in it and since your allie is a book nerd she would believe in him, so your in a bit of a situation because bogey man is like a axe murderer stealing kids and killing them, maybe he leaves their dismembered limbs in his closest, I'm District 6 bogey man, I don't keep Bodies because desicated bodies are gross and I have this thing where I hate rates and maggots, so I take a personal item, sadly the careers are guarding the courntopia, so I can't steal tokens from the dead, but I did steal The girl from 12's cross, sad really, if she tried to fight I would of killed her but anyways, I haven't gotten a kill since I was busy getting my beautiful knife coated with the real blood of District two so I need someone to Kill so eachother of you are going to say a name, if you say yourself you all die, if you say the name of another tribute that isn't in this room you all die, if you don't say a name at all you all, try and Run Wyatt and you all die" he says
I notice Tanner have a grip on Wyatt "You can't make us do it" I say
"your the only one that can fight Elliot but one word and my allies can kill yours, or I can force you to kill both of them so lets go outside" He says
Mathias and Tanner drag Cecily and Wyatt out while Payton points his sword at my back forcing me to walk we make it to a lighter area when Payton points his torch at Wyatt "Name now" He says
He bites his lip and I gasp in Shock when Payton pulls me back resting his sword on my neck "I can slit his neck and slowly torture him" Payton says
"Okay Cecily" Wyatt says
Mathias grips Cecily tighter taking his whip out, why would Wyatt say her "Wyatt" Cecily says
Why aren't these too fighting back, I knew this was too good to be true "Only you left wonder boy, the deciding vote" Payton whispers
I look at Wyatt and he shakes his head but every time I wait the sword goes deeper "Wyatt I'm sorry" I scream
Payton throws me back into the arms of Tanner "District loyalty is always more important but Elia ran away and it isn't selfishness, it's the fear of dying even the most loyal alliance out choose eachother over their selves to, see this is how you kill in style" Payton says
How Can Mathias and Tanner let this happen "Atleast I have a audience after this you two can go, then if we find you tomorrow both of you will die, the careers will hunt soon" He says
He walks over to Wyatt with his sword then slams it down over and over again until literally his entire legs, arms are cut into pieces, I struggle more against Tanner but his able to hold one, while Mathias grips Cecily face forcing her to watch, how can someone bd so sinister, how isn't he dying
"Oh yesyou must be wondering why he isn't dying, blood thickener takes a lot to die" he slides his sword down Wyatts chest and stomach
Then pokes his sword and a cannon booms but I almost vomit that his heart is attached to the sword, that death that was long "nothing is better then a dead heart, get it, dead, alright you two are free to run, cry, argue and feel guilt" He says
We both get dropped and I grab Cecily hand running, he was telling the truth Atleast and he doesn't pursue us, we run until we enter a cabin near a lake"I'm sorry" she says
I hold onto her afraid that she will be cut apart "it's okay, he said your name first it was a feared reaction but Elia I can't believe her" I say
"You can't blame her she must of been scared" She says
I Let go looking out the window to see the bright full moon, she has a point but still "He would of killed her, She is nice and weak, he doesn't like little kids"
"I know, but Wyatt shouldn't of died, I just choked up maybe having fun is less important" she says
No shit but I just let her be positive because we are different, I'm use to being ignored, being insulted and I have a negative outlook on life, Cecily she tries to live at the moment, Im not and will never been like that "This is real now, seeing that, how can he be so inhuman" I say
I feel anger towards Payton he did it so easily like he enjoyed it "he was raised like that, raised to hunt, raised to kill, raised to have no emotions, we are different, you were raised to survive in the streets I was raised to be polite, my parents would be screaming at me" she says
"why?" I ask
"They said I can use my manners, look and wealth to get out of life and death situations, I just stood there and watched him die because I was afraid I was afraid Mathias would kill me, or you will die" she says
"if it was you I don't think I could of stood there, but Elia, what do you think she will do when she finds out" I say
"cry we should find her, help her, we can't blame her she is young, naive and scared, maybe she thought we would leave her" she says
"Tomorrow" I say
Altough I don't want to find Elia, she left us, she made Wyatt die a horrible way, we could of sorted things out if she didn't abandond us like that, so maybe I do want to punish her, maybe Payton is right, I have opened my eyes up to reality and that cruelty is needed to win
She nods turning the lights on it's a small cabin with two beds, a fire place, bathroom and supplie packs, although it's getting colder "it must be night since it's windy" she says
"We need to light the fire and keep as warm as possible, although I don't know how the hell Payton can walk out with no gloves my hands are still cold" I say
"Might be use to it, 6 is one of the coldest districts like 2, these jackets are quite thick" she says
"Do you think we should of joined them" I ask
"our alliance didn't last a day, the girl alliance wasn't even set in stone and they broke apart, I guess having a large alliance in a arena with a lot of pairs and groups of threes aren't safe, I didn't think we would see one of our alllies get slowly killed" She says
"What happen to your positivity" I ask
"I guess I realised where I really am, you have a level head on you, but what are you thinking" she asks
"I don't know I feel guilt, fear, anger, this is just too real and everyday may be a fight for survival which means you need to realise that this is a time to be serious, I wanted to warn you guys" I say
"your right, I just wanted so bad for it too feel like a dream and when the end comes one or both of us will die" she says
"your a good friend I owe your for protecting and standing up for me" I say
"I owe your for giving me the life I never thought I had" she says
This isn't some goodbye message but a time for both of us to realise where we truley are but I still wish this wasn't real, I still wish there is a easy way out
Sebastian Arymen 17, District 2 Male
I'm in a mood
Not my I hate life mood where I dwell on the past, not my violent, angry and snappy mood, I am not a happy camper because this fucking arena makes feel like I'm at a fucking camp, I don't care that I let Taryn go, I wanted her too, Yes Im annoyed that I let Payton walk over me but I'm pissed off
I am made out as a fool again plus I am mad at my family, at my life, knowing it was all a lie, Callen gave me the files this morning, the proof, I didn't want to believe it but when I heard the truth in Taryn's voice I knew, how could they do this, I thought I had a perfect family, that loved and cared for eachother but they were lying
They hid the dirty truth from me and it makes me feel disgusted, my family made me feel whole and now I'm not sure what they are, my sister selling her body and using Raiden, I still hate him, Im still going to get revenge to him by killing Taryn because of what was true, the only reason she did it was for money
My brother I can't forgive him, I feel some smpathy towards Theon because sexual assault is low, I can forget my other brother's drug selling but not what he did, my parents Im going to find the truth, find if they were my real family, I have another purpose now, once Taryn is tortured by my hands I won't stop till I find the truth
I was always wondering, and Taryn just made me realise that I may not be their son, but then why am I in the family, I guess if my father had an affair with another woman that I could look like her, that would make me a bastard child, I could of even been adopted, Callen didn't tell me he didn't know
Archer does, it does break me, it does make me angry at Taryn, why would she tell me now, why would she tell me before the games, was it a way for me to looose focus, is the little blonde sinister like her brother but I forget that idea when I realise that she let me beat her and she didn't fight back until she knew she was going to die
A part of me wants to run, be alone, I can't stand being bossed around, it makes me feel like I'm chained up and the truth is I have been on invisible chains almost my entire life, I feel my hands shaking and I try and calm my breathing, Callen told me to win I need to try and not lapse but the pain that Payton gave me didn't hurt enough I want more I need more, I take off one of my gloves, and in instant it feels like my hand are frozen I quickly put my glove back on, these clothes have some sort of temperature thing that it makes you feel mildly cold but it's freezing no wonder my teeth are clattering
No how am I going to relieve my self I don't really want to cut my neck or face, since my looks seem to be the only thing going for me at the moment, I guess Im going to have to try and beat it, it's a addiction that keeps bringing me down
I slowly walk up the hill, 5 cannons have boomed but I don't really care about killing all I want is Taryn and I know hunting her would better but I don't know if I should trust Payton, would he bring her to me alive or as a bloodied corpse, will he bring her to me at all?
What if she died by the wounds?
I can't keep questioning myself, her and Ellis ran to the village Payton ran to the factory area, I don't know why I care wether she dies by my hands so bad, no I owe my sister, she tried to help our family, she knew me plus Taryn broke me, opened up all the scars I have been trying to hide, she deserves suffering and I deserve relief
"Where the Fuck were you I was worried you got killed like a pathetic waste of space" Theon screams
I ignore him walking into the counrtopia "Im talking to you pretty boy"
I ignore him once more and he grabs my arm "what the fuck happend to your shoulder" he says
"I was stabbed by a blonde maniac, should of let him stab me more, its a nice feeling now don't fucking anger me I can't cut myself and it's hard to stay calm" I say
"Here I was thinking you were in a mood because your can't look in the mirror" he says
I scowl at him shrugging his arm off "by the way there is actually bathrooms in the cabins" I say
Brecken Runs in screaming looking at us like he has seen something "What?" I bark
He falls down laughing and I roll my eyes looking at my sword "I'm in a mood because you two are intolerable humans that deserve death" I say
"here I was thinking we were friend, I still have you around my finger Sebastian wouldn't want once of these to fall on you with a flame would we" He says throwing a match at me, I dodge it still seeing the image of the flame that ended my family, or what I thought was my family if they were alive I could get the truth
"Stop this you son of a bitch, how would you like it if I insult your sister saying she was weak, that she enjoyed it" I scream
He grips the top of my shirt slamming me back "I don't like you trying to be better then me" he says calmly
"is this what this is about, I don't fucking care if your stronger then me, or if your leader, I only care about killing Taryn and finding out if my entire life was a lie, so can you please stop this top dog act, I will listen to you, I will let you kill, if you just let me get one thing" I say
He tilts his head "Your District has always done better then mine, you made us look like fools" he says
"I have been a fool all of my life but I have embraced it, do you think me and Taryn care about beating your District, I don't know what the hell she wants but victory isn't my first goal, so you can go around being this dictator" I say
"You don't understand what it's like, in my district, your feared, I had to fake my death" he says
"you faked your death because you were scared, now your trying to act tough when really you are unstable inside" I say
"And what about your Im not weak enough to turn to self harm" he says
I push him back "Never question me again, you really don't understand, so fucking back off" I scream walking out
Its night since there is almost a blizzard outside ad I start shaking, my lips start to feel numb "Sebastian stop this tantrum and come back inside" he says
The courntopia feels like it's heated but I can't stay in that allaince, I step once more then I realise the next cabin is far from here I need to surrender I walk back in "only because I didn't want to freeze to death" I say
"Look I don't want to fight with you, we need eachother" he says
"Let's just not use personal traumas to hurt eachother, never mention my family or my self harm and we will be good" I say sitting down
"Hello" Brecken screams
"Yes" Theon says
"I want to shoot someone" he says
"Unless you want to freeze to death go ahdead, gives me peace" Theon says
"Can you come with me" He asks me
He so much like my little brother that it pains me, him and my little sister were the only innocent ones, the ones that didn't keep secrets from me, but I can't show weakness "Tomorrow Brecken" I say
"I don't like it out here it is cold" he says
It's warm near the walls but we really shouldn't be please in the middle of the courntopia "that's because your standing in the middle" Theon says
"I don't think we should be in here wouldn't a cabin or somewhere in the village be helpful, there is no survival supplies here just weapons, the cabins are filled with Food, Water, warmth, clothes and a bathroom, all we have here is weapons which we can easily carrry, I'm just saying, it's night, that means more snow will fall the colder it will get, you two aren't use to the cold if we run now into an actual building it will be better, we can hunt once the snow stops falling, what's the point of staying here, no tributes would come back, they probably have all they need, Payton and his alliance have enough weapons, so why" I say
"Okay let's go" Brecken screams
"So you have a brain but what happend about no questioning my leadership" Theon says
"It's a idea not a order" I say
"Fine, take what ever weapons you need and we will run to the closest Cabin" Theon says standing
I make sure my sword is attached and my knives are in my pocket Breckrn skips out and begins running that's the most serious I see him, I take off after him although the snow is getting in my eyes and when we make the Cabin I notice Theon isn't behind us, so I let him freeze to death or help him
Act nice then betray later, I run back seeing that he fell to the floor, I grab his arm helping him in then locking the door "I didn't need your help" He says
I roll my eyes, this is what's what happens when I be nice "would you rather freeze or be a open target, Payton doesn't seem the slighest bit effected by the cold, so his probably out here and if he sees you he may just end your life"
"I'm not scared of him and you really should fix that shoulder of yours" he says
It doesn't even hurt, I hear a parachute outside and Theon quickly runs out "Instead of calling you pretty boy, I should be calling you golden boy" he says throwing it at me
I open it to see a few things fall out, first some cream which must be for the wound, a pair of water proof gloves that look just as warm and a packet of tablets, I look at the packet and notice they are phycosis tablets I took these before my family died they take away the urge to hurt myself 'you need to take those, don't let him get to you and keep your mind on what you need to do, just be careful on how much you give away- R'
I smear the cream on my shoulder putting it in my pocket then I take the gloves off quickly changing them, and I can't believe how much warmer they are "why do you get a sponsor gift so early" Theon says
I shrug taking the tablet, I don't want to but he is right they will make me much more focused "I don't like sleeping on the floor" Brecken said
This is a empty caving apart from boxes of supplies and a bathroom "Just make a bed out of the bunch of blankets we have" Theon says throwing me a sleeping bag and blanket
"No" Brecken says
"Please brecken" I say
"Okay" He says lying down
"How do you talk so well with kids" Theon asks
"I had two younger siblings, kids make you want to talk to them, try and pull you out of the bad mood your in, it's something I miss" I mumble
"My sister was like that" He says
Maybe we aren't so different "What do we do tomorrow, only 5 have died" I say
Just like my words have been heard, I hear the anthem music and Theon stand to look out the window
Dyson Fining, District 11- Placed 23rd Killed By Sebastian Arymen
Fenna Arron, District 11- Placed 22nd Killed By Theon Ayne
We both look at eachother, when the anthem finshes "There were 5 cannons, but only two shown in the anthem" he says
"I know Brecken killed the girl from 8, those two were only shown because they are District partners must be each district" I say
"So our partners could be dead and we wouldn't know till we die" he says
"Exactly at least it states the killer" I say
Although it's still annoying that we don't know who dies, until thier partner is dead, Payton could of very well killed Taryn after he left me "I think the girl from 12 would be dead too, Brecken did wound her badly" I say
"We will just have to keep a better eye out, this is annoying as fuck, plus we can't betray anyone because we will find out who the killer is" He says
I raise an eyebrow crossing my arms "I'm talking about other tributes, look if we for example kill Payton his allies might retaliate, same if you kill Taryn, Payton will be hunting for you, plus I'm sort of getting sick of him" He says
Brecken seems fast asleep but I'm still nervous he will hear us, but I still don't believe him "you have a point" I mumble I know he wants to kill Taryn, I sort of believe Payton when he said Theon was planning to betray me
Im just hoping Payton will attack as soon as possible then I will be rid of him and Brecken and I can start probably plotting how I'm going to kill Taryn for once and all
"We hunt tomorrow, try and get rid of some of the numbers it will be a bit hard since the tributes will be spaced out, thankfully we can just stay in any building there isnt much else we can do"
I know one thing but I will leave that for later
Deaths-
24th: Verla Hastings, District 8 Female- Killed By Brecken Kerridge, District 1 Male
23rd: Dyson Fining, District 11 Male- Killed By Sebastian Arymen, District 2 Male
22nd: Fenna Arron, District 11 Female- Killed By Theon Ayne, District 4 Male
21st: Celina Vagan, District 12 Female- Killed By Mathias Zain, District 10 Male
20th: Wyatt Gerin, District 3 Male- Killed By Payton Reves, District 6 Male
Verla: Writing 24 characters on my own was diffult so I had to make a few bloodbaths, I didn't write much of Verla but she was one of the positive ones within all the drama, what she truley wanted was to dream and escape the life in panem, I wish I could of written more of her but she was one that I would of struggled to find a story line for
Dyson: I didn't really want to kill him here since I had an idea of a story line for him, the guy that was made as a joke that just wanted to show people that he can be serious and that he can survive, but I had to put him here and take out two i was going to kill since, I don't want to Kill to much Females, but Dyson had a simple personality, A awkward guy trying to find his feet in one of the most uncomfortable situations
Fenna: She was another one who I didn't write but I did have an idea of what she would turn out like, she was te typical oppressed tribute who wanted to find more but was too afraid, she just got over shadowed by the ones that weren't afraid to fight the system, I wrote her death quite quick but the deaths after the bloodbath would be in much more detail
Celina: I found it hard writining about a truley religious tribute that I didn't have a point of view for germ I wanted unique tributes but she got over shadowed by a mile, I had to leave half of her alliance alive and at first I had her surviving but I didn't want to make the bloodbath too obvious even if it would
Wyatt: I had to kill a tribute who did have a point of view and sadly that was Wyatt, I almost changed my plans by killing Elia or Carys and Adelyn but I changed for two reason I would of only had one male die and none of the tributes who would of had a point of view would die, I enjoyed writing him, he tried to keep positive and was a bit comical in the way he did things, I didn't want to go into too much detail of his death, since I didn't want to run out of ideas but his death will open up a new story Line for Elliot and Cecily
