Jet

I arrive just in time to see Amethyst draws her blade, her emerald green focused for a change as she steps back. Isabella Spearman of Two pounces at her, a sharp glistening dagger raised in her right hand. Half a foot away, Isabella swings her hand, slashing the alive Career tributes face. A startled Amethyst lunges back after her injury, a hand held to her face as she wipes the newly formed blood from upon her face, "Oh, poo..."

Along the side of a nearby exit, Moira struggles with Topaz Nyght, backing up a little at a time as Topaz throws herself at her former ally. "I know you, Topaz. Just don't forget that..." Moira says, quietly, as she turns back and runs off in another direction. Topaz follows mercilessly behind.

"Jet," a hushed cry calls from a few inches behind me, "We need to go."

Melane grabs my hand, rushing me away from the scene. She refuses to let go, dragging into the thick darkness that surrounds us. We pass right by the lake, entering the kiddie rides section.

"Right here," Melane stops suddenly in front of a large roller coaster known as The Bug-out.

The pink and yellow tracks make it easy to see, making it an awful idea of hiding in both the nightfall and dawn.

"Where-?"

"Down here,"Melane cuts me off. She points down to small tunnel just below the ride, which must be the entry because of the lights that lead up to a cart. "You wouldn't know how to hot wire a cart, would you?"

I glare questionably at her, "Well, I'm not Phillip, but..."

"But you might?" Melane turns around quickly, finding a lock to the barred door. She clips it over, ever so relieved of a little security. "Could you?"

"Uh, I could try. I'll have to shut down the power first though."

Her eyes widen, "We have to go back out there to shut the power off, right?"

I hesitate, afraid of her reaction if I answer, "...Yes."

I can see her faith slipping, "O-oh... If I go, would you know what to do from there?"

"We're sticking together, Melane. But, I'm sure I could have gotten through the circuits anyway. It couldn't be that hard... if that makes you feel better."

She nods, stumbling over a few wires and tracks as she makes her way to the first climb. "Can you climb?"

"Yes,"

"...Could you get to the top of the first drop without the cart? We need to find a somewhat good place to hide..."

"Ah, well, that explains a bit more. I could get up there, yeah."

She smiles, "Come on."

She wraps her hand to highest bar she can reach for her short height, steps up onto the track and proceeds to pull herself up to the top. I follow, mimicking her until I'm at her side, halfway to the top.

"If this... doesn't work... do you know... where to?" She says between heaves.

I shake my head, "The only other... area that no one else... would got to would be... the Tasmanian River Rapids." I pause, wondering if I should inform her of our unknowings about it."I've only been around... there once though, but... I was just with... Obel... when we went to... fetch water."

She moves her head for what appeared to be a nod, "Alright," The edge of the climb is right in our hands now, "But..." She pulls her small body up one last time, "we have to make sure we aren't followed there."

I sit by her side when I manage to get up to the top, "...Why...?"

"Ebony or Reagan could definitely get us there. They'll hang out around any source of water."

"Right,"

"Oh... I feel like I am constantly asking you questions now..." She gives a slight and shy laugh, "But, do you know if either Fly or Obel could swim?"

"Uh... Fly hates large bodies of water. She made that clear when she refused to go anywhere near the lake. And Obel... I don't know."

"As long as neither Reagan or Ebony are near, heading toward the River Rapids should be safe..."

A thought occurs to me, "Why hide here exactly...?"

She shrugs, "Our assigned enemies can certainly climb, but there is always the fear of heights..."

"Assigned enemies?"

"The mutts," She explains, "Think about it: If there are nine tributes left, and fifteen deceased, that easily gives each tribute a mutt. We're together, right? Therefor, we have two mutts after us."

"Fly and Obel."

"Yes," Her voice grows quiet, "The Capitol loves to be ironic."

"And the other six tributes? The Capitol doesn't care for a fair game. Just an entertaining one."

"They sic them on the more skilled tributes. If they wasted muttations on the weaker tributes, that wouldn't be quite 'entertaining'."

"Amethyst, Zane, Nix..."

She nods.
