Night One
Scon Lavalle, District Nine Male (18)
I wake up from the bench I am sleeping in. Clio is slapping me.
"What the-" Clio silences me. She points at the door. I can hear vague screams coming from it. I can`t guess who they are just yet, but I can do something.
Hide.
"What do we do?!"
She points under the bench. It`s our only chance.
Clio and hide under it, and then we see the chaos ensue.
Charlotte continues to push and punching Lukas more and more. Lukas tries to fight back but apparently he can`t do it anymore, because he falls next to the pool. Charlotte starts to drown him. Clio almost gasps but I put my hand on her mouth she doesn`t speak.
Charlotte continues to drown him. "Just die already!" She screams at him, even though he is too beat down to hear.
Lukas starts trying to escape Charlotte`s will, but she continues to drown him. Lukas` body shakes and if we weren`t seeing the situation and just his body, we would think his body is having a seizure. Lukas kicks and pushes away, but he can`t escape.
Finally, his body stops moving and the cannon sounds. Charlotte stands up and almost sees us, but doesn`t. She throws Lukas` body into the pool.
She is about to leave when something happens. She is thrown into the pool by Domitia.
Domitia starts choking her, but Charlotte drags her under water. We don`t see what happens there, only water moving. Constantly shaking.
We wait in silence, as we see bubbles come out of the water.
And then a cannon sounds. No one comes out of the water.
"Shall we go?" I ask.
And then, we see Domitia come out of the war, victorious of her fight.
And then she looks at us.
"SHIT RUN!" I scream and kick the sit away. Me and Clio start running into the locker area, and then a fork is thrown at us by Tia. It misses and hits the wall and we continue running.
We run into the locker room. I go into the guys toilets and Clio goes into the girls ones.
I hide in one of the shower and I roll the curtains.
Water starts running down on me.
"FU-" I shut myself up and run into one of the toilets cubicles as waters runs down my body. Hopefully she won`t see me.
The toilet cubicle has shit below it. Great.
I hear someone talking.
"Oh, guys, I don`t to want to kill you. I just want to have a chat." I hear in the bathroom. "Why would you ever ally with such a trap like Charlotte? You guys have no taste." I look down and see someone coming down into the bathroom.
Shit.
"I know you probably haven`t allied with her, but why were in the same room as her?" She opens a stall. "Like I said, I just want to talk."
Silent tears run down my face. I am gonna die. This is it.
She kicks down a stall next to me. "Where are you guys?" She steps down onto mine. This is it. I am dead.
She is gonna kick it down and I am gonna die. I am useless and that`s why I am gonna die and-
I see shit in the toilet below me.
Oh shit.
I grab it.
Domitia opens the door.
I throw it at her.
She screams.
I grab her knife.
She screams.
I stab at her.
One time.
She screams and kicks.
I stab twice.
She falls to the ground.
And then I stab again.
And Again.
And again.
She tries getting the knife out of her, but it`s useless. She is gone already.
I continue stabbing as the cannons sounds. I don`t care if she is dead. She could come back as a zombie or a mutt and kill me. I need to end her.
"DIE DIE ALREADY" She is not dead. I assure you. The cannon must have been for someone else. Her eyelid being gone is just a coincidence I assure you it`s play from her. She is not dead. She can be dead.
I have lost of the counts of the stabbings and my hand is tired, but I must continue. She will attack me at any point! I must-
I feel someone touch me from behind. I slash the knife at them.
I see Clio`s hand. It has a big slash on it now.
I turn around and continue stabbing. Then it hits me
Oh shit what I have done.
"I am sorry Clio!"
Clio is now sitting on the floor, looking at her hand.
"I-It`s okay… I saw a first aid kid while running..." She stands up. "It must be somewhere around here…"
I stand up too. I see Domitia`s body one more time. There are just so many stab holes.
What have I turned into?
Am I the monster that everyone thought I was?
I look away and follow Clio`s path.
The first aid resulted to be no more than medical alcohol and some bandages. That should do.
"Are you okay?" I ask her. "Even due with what happened?"
Clio looks away. "Yeah, I am fine."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"I mean, are you really-"
"JUST SHUT UP SCON!"
I am shocked at the shout, but accept it anyways.
"I understand why you are-"
"Oh yeah, do you?"
I stay silent.
"Because it didn`t seem like that back there. You were just stabbing and stabbing. You were turned into something else Scon. Like you had no control over yourself."
"You are right."
"And then you slashed my hand!"
"Yeah, I know."
"I get that you had to kill her, but why like that? Why turn into a machine?"
"I-I don`t know" I sigh. "I guess it sometimes happens and I don`t like it when it does, but I do things involuntarily"
"Oh yeah, like stab a person a thousand times and then slash your friend?!"
Friend.
"I am sorry." It`s the only thing I can say. "I will try to be better."
"Let`s just go slee-"
Beep
The window next to us open and a sponsor gift falls into us next to us.
"Let me examine it." I see that there are two sponsor gifts in the parachute. One it`s for Clio and one it`s for me. But both some related.
One is a map. I then read on it "Fabian Hale Honor High School" I see that the president was bit overzealous with the name.
It`s a map of the arena, you idiot.
I smile. This is a great opportunity.
"it`s science book." Clio says grabbing the other sponsor gift. "With recipes for poisons and such."
"I sure hope these kind of books weren`t sold in the pre-Panem era." I joke.
But she doesn`t smile this time.
"Let`s just go back to sleep."
I accommodate myself in the floor. But for some reason, sleep is being deprived of me.
Just close your eyes and don`t think of her dead body!
Oh yeah, what a great thought!
Just think of food!
I imagine a field full of scones. I walk around it and eat some.
And that makes me fall sleep soon enough.
I walk around the field of Scones. I slowly eat some. They are delicious.
"Oh, obviously they are delicious." I hear someone say behind me.
I turn around, falling to the ground, and i see it´s Wels.
"Do you think seriously think i wouldn´t find you for what you did." Now´s it´s Kasha.
I start to crawl away, but the field gets longer and longer and they are getting closer.
She throws a knife at me and it hits my leg. "Oh, poor little guy, who thinks he is so much better than anyone else here."
Now i turn my face to her and she is Tiano. "Oh poor butter hands, is your life going to fall from them too?"
He throws another knife at me. It lands in my other leg.
I fall to the ground. The pain is to much.
I turn around one last time, and it´s Domitia.
"You are going to pay for what you did!"
I scream
I scream as i wake up.
I try seeing if everything i have is here.
Clothes, checked. Floor, checked. Clio, unchecked.
Wait what?
Where is she?!
12th - Lukas Slade, 17 (D2M) (Tyquavis) - Killed by Charlotte Haddox (D1F) - Beaten and drowned to death - Lukas was a pretty normal career. He was intelligent but courageous and athletic. We didn't have too much of a plot for him and that was why his time ended here but we appreciate characters like these. I'm sorry that your time had to end here. RIP - James
11th - Charlotte Haddox, 17 (D1F) (timesphobic) - Killed by Domitia Haymes (D2F) - Stabbed with a fork and drowned - Charlotte! She was definitely one of my favorites out of the bunch and I loved her so much, her relationship with Wels was really fun to write and she was just overall a killer character. Sadly, we finalised the decision to end you here. You could have made it a lot further but somebody had to take 11th place and that somebody was you. I'm going to miss writing you. RIP. - James
10th - Domitia Haymes, 18 (D2F) (Juud108) - Killed by Scon Lavalle (D9M) - Stabbed uncountable times with knife - Domitia! I love writing her. She was a strong character with a will and reason to do what she did, so obviously she wasn´t going to stop. Sadly, a shit was thrown at her to the face and that is enough to distract anyone from what they are doing. And she died. RIP - Santiago
