Victors Interview
I'm not gonna make this too long because I doubt you'll want to spend ages reading some long interview. Enjoy the Chapter and May the Odds Be Ever in Your Favour!
Clarice finishes applying Raymond's make up and he gets on stage for the last time this year.
"Thanks Clarice. It's been a good season hasn't it" he says not looking away from his reflection.
"If you say so sir" she smiles back.
"Have a nice summer; my show comes back in the fall."
"Yes sir."
"What's with this sir thing?"
"Salem says so sir; I don't wanna get in trouble sir."
"Typical; he hasn't got cameras Clarice. Now I have a show to do. How do I look?"
"Stunning si- Mr Miles."
"Excellent."
Raymond struts onto the stage like he was about to give the show of his life. Frankly, he was glad this season was over.
"Hello Capitol! Now we all know why we're here" the audience begin to chant "Amy" and Raymond grins "Well here she is, Miss Amy-Leigh Gizmo."
The district 7 girl timidly walks out in a green baby doll dress with a light pink trim. She sits down onto the seat cautiously as if it could be covered in nails.
"Good evening Amy. How's it going?"
"Fine" she squeaks.
"Hey, don't look so worried. Think back to interview; you were so confident then remember?"
"Well… things have changed."
"Ok, I'll be more specific. On Day 1, you allowed Branwen Pritchard into your alliance. What made you do decide this?"
"It was a mutual decision between me and Terro. She seemed strong and it seemed like a waste to just kill her. But then, somewhere along the line, we became friends."
"Speaking of friends, Terro was quite a special "friend" wasn't he?"
Amy's lip trembles then she stops.
"I don't know what you're talking about" she says certainly.
"Oh come on; frankly I'm confident you were only the genuine romance in there."
"It's hard to fall in love in such an awful place; I wouldn't wish love on anyone in there."
"So you regret it?"
"I didn't say that! Don't put words in my mouth!"
"Wow; sorry. Let's move on. You shared a brief kinship with Danny Suvillian near to the end. Why did you create this bond so late?"
"I wouldn't call it a bond. I just didn't think it was right for one person to be at such a disadvantage. Everyone deserves a chance."
"Very true; now let's go back a bit. During the first half of the second week, you're friendship with Branwen was strained."
"It was just me being jealous I guess. It seemed kind of unfair at the time."
"I get it."
He looks into her eyes for a long time; seeing every inch of the unfairness of the games in those eyes. He takes both of Amy's hands.
"Ok Amy, I'm sorry to ask but, what was it like, in that moment where Terro was taken from you forever."
Amy gulps then closes her eyes and mouths something to herself.
"I- Terro was very special and he didn't deserve what happened to him" she sighs sadly "But- I'll never forget him. I need to know though; it's something that's been keeping me up. Who did it?"
"I believe it was Airmet W. Jumpneptune from district 11."
"The little girl? It must have been an accident."
"I dunno; didn't look like that to me."
"It was an accident."
"Well ok. Final question; that moment when you won, how did it feel? That you're finally getting to go home."
"I'd be lying if I said it horrific seeing that little boy and the girl lying down there like that but, yes, I'm glad to be going home."
"Enjoy it; ladies and gentleman, Miss Amy-Leigh Gizmo!"
Sorry that probably was a little draggy but the last chapter should be better. It should be up some time today so look out for it!
Death List
24th: Chime Hathaway- I killed him purely on the basis, that it makes Wonder guiltier.
23rd: Dallas Cho- Not strong enough and I struggled a bit to write for him.
22nd: Camera Jackie- No real reason other than the fact I couldn't see him winning.
21st: Sevtamira Maroon- I couldn't see her winning and I wasn't very good at writing for the character.
20th: Elliot Klemes- I was debating in my head so much as to whether to kill off this character especially after writing his interview but in the end I was choosing between him and Tansley as to who died.
19th: Alice Felsworth- I had quite a few ideas for this character but her dying made the most sense, story wise. I did like the character a lot though; she was interesting.
18th: Wolfgang Star- I must be clear I had a list of a few tributes and this wasn't an easy decision. After much deliberation I had to let Wolfgang go.
17th: Jesse Frogan- Sorry Jesse, there's only room for one arrogant arsehole in this story from now on and unfortunately it's not you.
16th: Topaz Martin- You were annoying and arrogant. Yet I will miss you quite a lot and to be honest I needed someone to die to break up the alliance and I chose you; apologies.
15th: Metro Cahidra- This guy was such a sweetie and I felt bad getting rid of him but the blood flow isn't moving fast enough so I had to kill someone else and unfortunately it was Metro.
14th: Wonder Jones- It broke my heart to kill her off. I definitely did consider her winning at a point. I adored writing for her and she only died because of her relationship with Phoenix (yes I know this was my idea and I do apologise).
13th: Glinda Odair- Loved her but had to lose her. I needed to kill off another girl as I only have 4 boys left.
12th: Baron Chrome- It was sad for you to die but you died a good man.
11th: Tansley Marie Hepperly- To be honest, she'd run her course and her story wasn't going anywhere but I still loved the character.
10th: Julie-Anne Beaker- I was actually gonna have her stick around for a little bit but in the end when I thought about it, it was her time. More's to the point, karma's a bitch.
9th: Branna Chrome- I loved her but at least she died on her own terms.
8th: Terro Madrime- I love Terro but I chose the character that was hardest to write for.
7th: Phoenix Cameroon- If anyone actually has a complaint about his death then please make it. Otherwise I just wanted his death to be in an arsehole vs. bitch fight.
6th: Brynn Kale- Just to be clear, this honey was one of my favourites; but then, so was Airmet. Hence why you guys decided. Just as a by the way, Brynn had to most with 8-6.
5.5th: Branwen Pritchard- Ok I am actually peeved that I killed her now but I just felt like I didn't have a choice. It was her or Amy and to be honest the idea for Branwen's death came first. That's the only reason why she died. Please don't think I didn't like her. I loved her to pieces and that's why she came this far.
5th: Airmet W. Jumpneptune- I didn't wanna get rid of her particularly. As a character, she was lovely and had a beautiful soul but I just couldn't see her winning. I will always have a special place in my heart for this character though. Sorry for being a little creepy and for killing her.
4th: Alice Felsworth- I didn't just kill her because I resented her returning. I'm actually quite glad she came back for a little bit. In the end, I just didn't like the idea of her coming back and then winning. Sorry; it seemed a little clichéd. But I still liked her. She was ecstatic.
2nd/3rd: Shimmer Starlight- It's hard to tell which position she really finished in but I'm afraid I did have to go with conventional ending of the bad guy losing. She was such a great character though; I've loved every minute of writing for her. It was fun.
2nd/3rd: Danny Suvillian- As stated above, it came down to him and Amy. It was basically a matter of Amy sounding like a better victor but truthfully I didn't like either of them anymore than the other one.
1st: Amy-Leigh Gizmo- What can I say? I'm a sucker for the underdog. Amy has been this tough but inwardly vulnerable character which sounds really unoriginal but she is such an original character. I've had my struggles writing for her every so often but ultimately she was a character I could really play around with and I loved that.
