Nessa Anastasia Tayler POV
The careers and I found base camp at a strip of stores which supplied us with new clothing, better blankets and a few couches. We put two of them onto the top of one for look out; currently Wisp and I are up there.
"Why do we have to do this?" I muttered, Wisp shrugged her shoulders and continued sketching the arena, "Why can't Savory and they boys get up here instead?!" I yelled,
"Well, he was stabbed in the stomach today." I blew it of its just details,
she continues sketching I start to find myself agitated at her not caring; I stamp on her map and scream,
"Let me give you some information, we are careers I can easily get us a map so don't waste your time on this crap and pay attention something way more important." I grab the paper and chuck it away, Wisp look down on the ground a single tear fell down onto the ground. I realised what I have done, I was a monster to her,
"Look Wisp I'm sorry alright." Wisp looked up at me and mumbled,
"No, you're right Nessa. I don't need to waste my time something as useless." She walks to the open door that leads down to the store,
"Well aren't you coming?" I quickly follow her and when we walk in we see all of the careers hovering around Savory,
"Are you sure there is nothing in those bags to help my wound?" Savory asked impatiently,
"Nothing at all, you were lucky to at least have some bandages in those bags in the first place, most of the Cornucopia is filled with weapons."Flake pointed out, Savory looked him like he was ready to kill him, Flake sighed and suggested,
"I saw a hospital a few streets away, maybe a few of us could go and check to see if they have some supplies?" We all looked at each other to see who would volunteer, it's starting to get dark out and everyone knows that Careers form in a pack it either all in or all out,
"I will do it." Wisp calmly states, everyone looks at her with a mix of terror and appreciation.
"Will you seriously do this for me Wisp?"Savory asked gently it's the first time I have seen him this kind before,
"Of course, I know what Hospital he is talking about I also saw a small food store as well so maybe I could find some food as well." Wisp adds, my stomach starts to churn at the idea of food,
"Don't you want anyone else to go with you Wisp?" Flake asks, Wisp shakes her head and grabs two swords and places them carefully into her belt,
"No. I can get in and out of there as quickly as possible, beside I know if I take another I will have to wait for you and take into consideration of you as well. So it is better to be on my own." Wisp has everything under control and she is finally taking responsibility, just as she is about to Savory stops Wisp and thank her, another human moment for Savory but it didn't last long just as the door closed he added,
"Don't take forever all right; I still want to kill a few more tributes." And he is back.
Wisp Ivory POV
I walk down the empty cold street; a powerful gust of wind pushes my hair into my face. I brush my hair out of my face and continue walking, damn if only I had that map, I start to doubt myself maybe I didn't know the way maybe I should have bought Flake but I know how loud he can be at times. I look around and I see nothing dangerous, I continue until I hear a sickening bark.
I turn around instantly seeing a wild pack of mutts about six or seven of them. I ready both my swords. Dribble falls out of their mouths, their eyes hunger for blood, the first on jumps at me I make a clean cut to his head until the next three come at me. I jump on top of one and spear another, the other tries to bite me, I jump off it and it bites the mutt instead. It lets out a boisterous howl before it collapsing to the ground; I stab another two in the eyes before leaving me with one mutt left. He makes a gruesome growl before running towards me, I expect the dog to jump at me so I hold my swords high but instead it bites deeply in to my upper thigh. I scream as loudly as possible as it digs into my flesh, I slice the mutt head of leaving its sharp teeth digging into my flesh, I try to unlatched it from my upper thigh. I hobble the rest of the way as blood pours from my leg. I stumble into the Hospital and my eye wonders to a medical kit, I grab onto to and start to bandage myself up. When I finish I lie down and think about everything that has happened to me, about every that has happened. My thoughts were interrupted by a crashing noise; my thought erupted with more mutts or bloodthirsty tributes. I shoot up and I only saw a boy around my age hug his knee and repeated over and over again,
"Ow, ow,ow,ow." I stumble over to him and ask,
"Are you all right?" he shoots up knowing that I'm a Career,
"Relax; I'm not going to hurt you." He was still was cautious around me, he hesitated at my touch. If I was going to help him I have to seem kind,
"Hello, my name is Wisp." I put out my hand; he shakes my hand hesitantly,
"My name is Ollie, nice to meet you." I always learned to never trust no one but for some strange reason, I start to find myself trusting him. I don't know if it was his soft hazel eyes or his freckles across his nose but something about him was like something I have never seen before.
"Do you need a hand with anything?" I asked, wanting for him to be in my presents a little longer.
"Yeah, that would be great I think I sprain my ankle." I help to a bed where I start to apply some cream onto his ankle,
"You look pretty beaten up, what happened?" Ollie asked, I shrugged my shoulders,
"I just ran into a pack of mutts, it wasn't hard until on bit me." I answered, Ollie's eyes went wide, he placed his hand onto mine, and a small sensation shot up my arm.
"I'm so sorry, I know that it wasn't my fault but I also had a pack of mutts go after my group and we survived barely. Which by the way I was supposed to get some medicine and I was sidetracked by you." I try to hide my blushing and my weak smile that is creeping up on me,
"Umm... so was I and I was going down to the store and gets some food as well. Would you like to come with me and pick some food with me?" I ask him, he reluctantly agrees, we hobble to the store and grab some food. Every moment I spend with him it like a breath of fresh air in this closed defined space known as the Hunger Games. When we finish we walk out of the store, I don't want to leave him but I know that if I leave the Careers they would want my head on a silver platter, I look at Ollie. His eyes seem to glow in the moonlight, a piece of his brown hair feel on his face. As I pushed it out of the way he pulled me towards him and kissed me. The sensation goes through my body leaving me paralysed; as I pull away a smile plays on both of our lips. We both leave and walk to our areas; I'm left wondering more about Ollie.
