Well here is the rest of day 2. You'll see fun times, and stuff. Get ready, it'll be a fun ride.
George "Heather" Chops- District 9 Female
"What the hell do you mean that you didn't draw the map correctly?!" I say irritated.
We've been walking around this maze for hours. We have yet to get to the little boy from 8, and it's getting dark. I should already be back in my castle.
"We...we didn't mean to George…" says the broken girl from District 7
"Yeah, George...you know I wouldn't fuck with you like that." says the girl from 11
"Do I minion number 1? Do I?" I say slapping her across the face as she screams in pain.
"Hey, George...let's calm down buddy." says Fernando as he stares at me shocked at the treatment that Minion number 1 just got.
"You don't tell me what to- AHHHHH" I fall to the ground and scream.
George, you've had your fun. It's my turn now.
"No Heather!"
George, be like a good hand, and get the hell out of my mind!
Heather "George" Chops- District 9 Female
"Where are we?" I ask
"George….are you ok?" ask the girl from 7
"I'm Heather?" I say confused. "We are on day 2 now right? Why aren't we heading back towards the castle?"
"You know what, I think that's exactly what we need to do." says Fernando as he smiles at me. He begins to gather the stuff, and the girls that have been traveling with me have followed suit.
Heather, you're going to get us killed.
"Shut up George. I'm not in the mood today."
Heather, you can't possibly think you can win these games?!
"I am Heather Elena Chops. I can do whatever I want to do."
I look at the alliance and see that they are packed and ready to go. I walk over to the girl from 7 and grab one of the packs on her back, because it looked like it was way to heavy for her. She smiles at me as I sling it over my back and begin to walk away.
"Friends! It's time to go back to the castle!"
They aren't your friends Heather, they're just waiting for the right time to kill you.
"George you don't know anything about being a good friend."
"Uh, who the hell you talking to little cray-cray?" ask the girl from District 11
"George. Duh." I say
"Where is he now?" ask the girl from District 7 with a quiver in her voice.
I point to my right hand, and George looks at me angrily. He then turns and looks at the two girls that are standing behind me.
"Minions!" he says in his typical low voice, "Do not try any funny business. It's easier for me to take over when she gets stressed and-"
I shove George in my pocket and we start to walk towards the castle.
"So, how long have you and George...uh...known each other?"
"He started talking to me when I was 6. I always had him though. He was just shy. When we went to school together people were mean to him...and they didn't understand him. Mom said that George was supposed to be my brother, but then something happened in her tummy and he died...now he's here." I say holding up my hand. "He likes to come out and play, but he's really bad at going back inside when it's his turn."
"Goes back where?" ask Fernando curious as to where this is going.
I point up to my noggin.
Heather, you're giving them to much information.
"Shut up George. No I'm not."
You're just mad because Mom liked me best.
"Then why did she make me wash you off?" I ask snide
Because she just doesn't understand.
I stop in my tracks, and the girl from 11 bumps into me.
"Ow what the hell are you doing?!" she says
I hold up a finger and close my eyes really tight, and grab ahold of my head. I start to sing the song that always helped me control George, ever since we were six.
"This old man, he played one.
He played knick knack on my bones
With a knick knack patty whack, give a dog a bone.
This old man came rolling home."
"Why'd you do that?"
"Because for the first time this whole games, I'm able to hear my thoughts. Not George's."
We walk in silence after that. I guess it's kind of hard to know what to say when a girl talks to her brother who also lives in her hand.
Kitana MF Striker- District 2 Female
"So truth or dare?" ask Aiden with a sly smile on his face.
"Are you actually kidding me?" ask Ashylin with an angry look on her face. "We're trapped in a room with no windows, and no way out guarded by a fucking dragon, and you want to play truth or dare?!"
"Why not?" I say to the surprise of everyone in the room.
I have no fucking interest in kissing any of these dumbasses, and let's be real with a rack and ass like mine they're all gonna want it. I want to get to the bottom of a few things that I've been worried about in our supposed peaceful alliance.
"Ashylin." I say staring at her with a smile. "Truth or dare?"
She stares off into the wall angry. Not wanting to answer.
"Truth or dare or I open the door." I say more forceful
She gives me an eye like she's about to call my bluff. "You wouldn't." she says
"The difference between me and you, is I'm a crazy motherfucking bitch. I'll find a way out of here, and I don't give a rats ass if you die or live."
"Truth." she says seeing I'm serious.
"What's the deal with you and fuckboy jr?" I ask
"Glad to know I'm sr?" ask Aiden smugly.
"Don't get a big head. You're still a fuckboy." I say
Ashylin looks embarrassed as she stares at the wall again. You can tell that she is trying to know what to say to this. It's not an easy question.
"I can't tell you...he just...he just makes me feel safe. Like he's a piece of home. When I'm with him I forget I'm in the games. I'm not that irrational girl that kills people...I'm Ashylin Grace Harrison. He sees that side of me."
"I can't fucking wait until he drives his weapon through your heart." I say
"Excuse me?!" she says angry
"You're a stupid, stupid little girl if you think for one second he isn't playing you. No one is going to give up their second chance at life in order to be with some hootchie for 5 seconds before she dies again. He's playing you. He can get any hoe he wants when he gets back to District 1."
"Fuck you Kitana." she says as she flips me off.
"What the fuck ever. It's your turn."
"Aiden truth or dare?" she says mad like she's wanting to get the game over with
"Dare."
She smiles slyly.
"I dare you to pick a fight with Kitana."
I stare at him and he stares at me.
"I'm not going to fight her." he says point blank
"Scared fuckboy?" I say not wanting to back down from a challenge.
We both stand and cross over to the center of the room. We begin to circle each other, and then out of nowhere he leaps out and tries to punch me. I side step him, and trip him. He falls to the ground and gets back up. This time he's learned from his mistake however, and his fist makes contact with my stomach.
I lose my breath for a minute and then I knee him in the groin and push him into the book shelf. The shelves begin to fall, and I notice that all the books except for one are on the floor.
"Wait!" I scream as Aiden is coming back for more.
"Scared?" ask Aiden tauntingly
"No you dumbass look." I say pointing to the shelf.
Alex begins to walk over there and inspecting the book. He puts his hand on it, and tries to take it off the shelf. When he does the shelf begins to move and an open pathway begins to show inside of the wall.
"Holy shit." says Ashylin as she stares at us, and the hole in the wall.
"I told you playing truth or dare was a good idea!" screams Aiden holding up his fist triumphantly
"Shut up fuckboy." I say as I begin to walk through the hole in the wall that could possibly lead us to freedom.
Artemis Knight- District 8 Male
This boat thing really isn't so bad. I haven't had any trouble from the tributes in the other alliances, and I think I can stay here the whole time.
Suddenly the walls begin to open on the sides of the maze, and a whole lot of water begins to fill the clearing.
"It's 6 o clock. Ghost Pirate mode activated." says an automated voice on the boat.
Ghost Pirate?
The exits in the clearing close and the water begins to rise higher and higher, and suddenly I'm surrounded by skeletons wearing pirate costumes.
"Arrgh Matey!" says the Captain of the ship as he stares at me from the top of the stairs on the boat.
"Uh...hello?" I say confused
"What brings ye here to me boat?" says the Captain sounding not so friendly.
"I...I..I wasn't aware that it was yours...I'm sorry." I say
"Well now ye know. WALK THE PLANK YE LAND LUBBER."
"Wait no!" I scream
The Captain is obviously not used to this whole being told no thing.
"What did ye say?"
"I..I can be of some help." I say
"How?"
"There are more people like me, and eventually they'll be looking for me...I can help you defeat them."
"Very well...off to the brig with ye lad!"
I'm taken by my arms and taken below deck. Two ghost pirates throw me in a cage in the Captain's quarters. I look around and take my environment in. I reach into my pocket, and thank God I still have 3 fans in there.
"Lad. Ye better be telling the truth." says one of the skeletons.
"Yuh, old Red Eye doesn't handle liars very well." says the other with a chuckle.
They lock the cage and begin to go back upstairs.
Calvary Warsaw- District 10 Tribute
We still haven't found a end to the maze. It's been a long day and half as we have been walking around. Over and over and over. We both don't talk though. Her because she knows I won't and me...well because I'm me.
I don't want to get close to Solaria. It's not that she isn't a nice person..but I feel like if I get to know her..if I start to develope a friendship with her I won't be able to kill her.
Not that I want to kill her. I don't want the misconception of me being bloodthirsty to happen. I'm not. It's just my whole life I've always looked out for number one. When my brother was alive, he would take care of me, and I would take care of him...but now he's not here. I feel like that part of me, that humanity part of me was ripped out of me. Like coming back to life was deadening for me in a way. How ironic.
"I think I hear something up ahead." says Solaria
I perk my attention up and listen, and sure enough I hear talking from a big group of people.
"We should turn around." I say
We start to turn, when the maze begins to close. I've seen what it does to someone when you get trapped inside the walls. We begin to run towards the people we hear, and know the GameMakers are leading us to a big group. It must have been boring today. The audience needs blood.
We stop just a little ways away from the group of four careers as they walk throughout the maze.
"Where's the rest of them?" ask Solaria
The question is soon answered when another group comes out of the wall and begins to talk with each other.
Star Fire- District 4 Tribute
We've been walking in what feels like circles for hours. This sucks. I always hated mazes. I was good at pretty much anything in school, but put one of those find your way out things in front of me, and I was screwed. I mean I couldn't even trace my way from the end of the maze to the start.
"Where do you think we are?" ask Stella for the 6000th time.
"I'm not sure. If I knew where I was going do you think I wouldn't be in a clearing right now?" snapped Dean as he is tired of being talked to with this.
"No fuckboy! To close!"
Kitana?
"Wait is that-"
As if answering the question, Ashylin, Kitana, Aiden, and Alex walk out of a hole in the maze that appeared out of literally nowhere.
"Star?" ask Kitana surprised as she sees me
I smile and nod and she runs up and hugs me.
"Thank you!" she screams up at the sky "I couldn't take one more minute by myself with these fuckwits!"
I chuckle as I stare at the four out of five people we sent into the maze yesterday morning.
"What happened to Kate?"
"1 killed her." says Aiden
We all look at her wide eyed and surprised.
"It wasn't like I just did it!" says Ashylin pissed off. "We were in a battle royale type shit, and one of us had to die before we could move on. She just had the unfortunate pleasure of pissing me off."
"That's kind of hot…" says Dean as he smirks at her.
"I think I'm about to see what little I ate come back up." says Calico
"Well this is awkward." says a voice from behind us.
We all turn to see the girl from District 9, Fernando, and the girls from 7 and 11 staring at us.
"Well well well. If it isn't Peddy." says Kitana with a smile. "We've been waiting for you." she says with an emphasis on the word you.
"Heather now would be a really good time to let George back." says Fernando.
Heather closes her eyes and she falls to the floor screaming and clutching her head.
"I don't want to fuck with that." says Kitana as she nudges Ashylin forward. "She's all yours."
The girl from District 9 stands up, and she has a different look in her eyes. A angry one.
"Well. Looks like it's going to be another bloodbath." she says
Kitana levels her eyes to the girl from District 11.
"Bitch I know you remember the training day." says Kitana.
The girl merely flips her off and stares at her angry.
"Well. I think we should just get this thing started shouldn't we." says the District 9 girl in a weird low voice. She's swinging a sword in her hand.
As if seeing these four wasn't enough, the boys from 7 and 3 walk up and stare at all of us. The try to turn around and walk away but the maze closes up behind them. The girls from 10 and 5 shortly follow after them. Upon seeing all of us the girl from 10 tenses up.
"Well." I say "Looks like the Capitol has us right where they want us."
I'm really happy with how this chapter turned out. I'm really proud of it, and I hope you like it as much as I liked writing it.
Go look at the new poll. You DEFINITELY want to vote in it.
What did you think of Heather's background?
What would you do if you were trapped in a room with a dragon guarding the door?
Do you like the Ashylin/Dean thing?
Bloodbath 2.0 up next. I promise not as many deaths..you'll see. Who do you want to die?
I got critiqued last time that my character development wasn't strong...I tried to change that this story. Have I been doing a good job?
Keep it classy,
Caleb
