DAY 6
Fay Ross district Eleven Female
Fay Ross woke up in her makeshift shelter, trembling with fear. Oakley's betrayal from a couple days ago was still fresh in her mind. She got up, grabbed her knife and walked into the woods to find some breakfast. A deer crossed her path and Fay threw her knife, embedding it in the animals side. Swiftly, she chopped off the deer's head and carried the body back to her shelter.
"Nice deer", Fay heard. She whirled around to see Topaz Lancaster standing across from her, looking extremely smug. "This should be easy!"
"Don't count on it", Fay snarled. Topaz thrust her energy sword and Fay parried with her knife, following with a slash toward Topaz's hand. Topaz deflected the slash and aimed a punch at Fay's cheek. A silver parachute fell from the sky as Fay blocked the punch. Topaz dashed toward the silver parachute and pulled out a spear with a point crackling with electricity. She thrust the spear at Fay who just barely blocked with her knife. Topaz raised the spear and a bolt of electricity shot from the tip. The bolt struck Fay's hand, vaporizing it.
Fay screamed in pain. Topaz grinned in anticipation as she raised her sword for the kill. A bolt of fire shot from the sky striking Topaz in the back and engulfing her entire body in flames. All that remained was a scorch mark. Fay collapsed, sobbing with terror. Another silver parachute fell from the sky. Fay reached into the parachute to find a box labeled heal. She placed the box on the spot where her hand used to be. Instantly, it grew back.
Sardonyx Greystone District One Female
That night, Sardonyx and the remaining careers sat in their campsite on the mountain, eating roasted grooslings with some bread that a sponsor sent. "Why hasn't Topaz came back?", Latte asked, "she said she'll be here by nightfall. Do you think she's dead?"
"I can't picture Topaz dying", Sardonyx said, "I hope she's OK." The Panem national anthem played as Topaz's face appeared in the sky. The careers took a moment of silence for Topaz's death. "There's only eight of us left now", Sardonyx said to herself, "I wonder how our family's are feeling?"
