Jamee Holcombe, 17, D8F
I spent most of the night with Scout, he just doesn't seem to be himself anymore. Ever since he shot that arrow into Olive's throat, he didn't say a word to anyone the rest of the day and he just stayed in the cornucopia, he slept the latest out of everyone else, long after the anthem passed. I woke up late at night and he was still awake but I decided not to disturb him and now he's just sitting on top of the cornucopia, he really likes to climb things so he's just spent his time at the cornucopia, obviously something's on his mind. Is killing someone really that bad? I broke Victor's knees with my club and I couldn't finish him off, I don't know why I hesitated, I saw the pain on his face and just couldn't bring myself to crush his skull with the club so I left him and let Diamond finish him off.
Suddenly I see Diamond emerge from the cornucopia, with a stupid grin on her face and holding a sword with a fresh backpack full of things. "Alright losers we need to stop sitting on our asses all day, those tributes ain't gonna kill themselves y'know." She announces. This time Mason nor Ziana says anything, they're both just standing next to each other, they can't exactly sit down without getting soaking wet so standing (or leaning) will have to do. "C'mon Scout, get down from there, you've been up there all day, what's wrong anyway?" She says to him. Scout doesn't answer. "He's sad because he killed that girl from twelve yesterday." I say with a sigh. A wide grin appears on Diamond's face and before I know it's she's actually laughing. "Awww Scout you little bitch boy, sad because you made yourself useful for once?" She taunts but Scout doesn't say anything back. "Maybe you should give those arrows to me Scout if they make you cry like a little girl." She jeers even more.
She's making my blood boil, taunting a boy who's clearly not in a good place, she needs to shut her stupid mouth. I get up and stride towards that spoiled brat from one. "You know what Diamond? Shut up, just shut the fuck up because I'm pretty sure everyone here has had enough of your wannabe ruthless attitude okay? You're not strong, you're not cool so just fuck off you spoiled brat!" I snarl. And then there's a chilling silence in the air, almost as if Diamond's shock and anger is tangible in the air. She takes a strong but chilling step towards me. "What did you just say to me outsider?" She spits at me, her knuckles are almost white from gripping the hilt of her sword so tightly and her eyes show off an almost evil quality, like a snake ready to strike at it's prey. "You wanna repeat that? Go on then, say that whole little speech again." She challenges. I don't say anything, I won't do what she tells me to do. She raises the sword and lightly rests the flat end on my shoulder, the bladed bit pressing ever so slightly on the side of my neck. The cool and deadly steel makes my hairs on the back of my neck stand up straight. "If you ever try to disrespect me again, I will chop you up and send your ugly, bloody remains to your brother do you hear me?" She spits at me.
What do I do? Do I swing at her? Do I just nod?
"Leave her alone." I hear and Diamond instantly turns her head around and I look at the cornucopia and see Scout, his arrow is notched and aiming at Diamond, probably somewhere vital; his expression is cold with a hint of anger, his eyes narrowed in on Diamond. Is he seriously threatening to kill his own district partner? "Little baby Scout come out to play has he? You wanna try and kill your own district partner Scout? Go on, I dare you." She snarls.
However before any further threats can be fired I hear splashing followed by the booming voice of shouting. "Shut up, the three of you." Mason says, stepping in Scout's line of fire. "You three are like fucking six year olds, you guys are allies! It's only day two and you two are already threatening to kill each other. You three sicken me..." Mason says, he's clearly scowling and his anger appears to radiate from his body, the three of us are instantly silenced by his words, Scout even lowers his arrows. "I-I'm sorry Mason." Diamond says, her tone dropping from upbeat and threatening to low and ashamed. However Mason simply brushes off the apology, taking no notice of it. "Now we're going to hunt, the same teams as last time, we'll meet back here at sunset," he says, his battle axe ready in his hands, "we'll each cover the same areas as last time, I'm not concerned if we don't kill anyone today, it's only day two anyway." He says and then he walks off. Diamond shoots me a dirty look and walks away with Cedric and Scout climbs down the cornucopia. "Well, let's go then." He says and leads the way to the stream and this time I follow him.
