Day 3
Luca Allen 18, District 1 Male
I stare at the tracker and the several broken parts next to me, even in the games the Capitol want me to be their pet, originally the tracker Markus sent me had the locations of the tributes I actually need to know about but then all of a sudden it died and I got sent another one I knew it wasn't from him
It had the tributes whose names I don't even know so I destroyed it, then another got sent so I pretty much destroy 6 until I gave up otherwise I would of probably had a complete melt down and made a fool of myself and I already have done that enough, so if the dickheads want me to kill some people I fucking will kill someone not that anyone is close to where I am
I think I'm near my charming District partner and his pet wolf but those two had the chance to kill me they didn't, I need them alive let them pick of the weaker ones, because I don't want to be seen as their killer I'm not a assassin for the captiol never was and my hatred for them has only grow by the day but I know rule number one in life is don't show rebellious nature
Rebels are runts of this earth and deserve misery like no other, even Caleyn isn't a rebel reason why I call her by her name, rebels shouldn't even be considered as human, maybe I'm spiteful they are the main reason why this fucking society is fucked up well the Capitol chose to fuck it up but they made it worse, I did deep down enjoy torturing rebels, you do it by a distance, because killing someone close by is personal, whether it's because they are on my list and I want to see there pain or fear when dying or someone like my last district partner because I have a tiny, just little little speck of something, normally I shot people who weren't real targets with a gun but there are no guns in here but with rebels we use to for example shoot them every part of their body, or use acid, or fire, or melt them
Now days only really males are rebels, the capitol or district ensure that any female rebels are dealt with because as history shows female rebels can literally change society maybe that can also be why most districts have less female and all females these days are protected and stay home not for their own sake but so they don't become a threat
The reason why the sibling hood or brotherhood wasn't all destroyed straight away because they were the reason the rouges of district 13 didn't rebel, plus they did work for their district, did better job then must still doesn't mean I will spare them, there was a reason why Caelyn and Aden were sent in because they knew if they lived or died they take away the leader of the youth group then the ground would destroy themselves
I know deep down killing is all I know deep down it's really all I enjoy, My last games I felt nothing when I killed but this time is different deep down I enjoy killing, I know I shouldn't but it's almost an addiction the Capitol forced me to become this person the second I was raised to kill, I look at the tracker I mean I'm close to some boy, might as well pick him off throw a knife in his head, less effort for me, although looking at the tribute stats it doesn't seem like Kellen or Harrison killed yesterday, maverick got one as did Camden and Maxen, means they know what needs to be done
The more Maverick kills the less attached to reality he will get and I need that it means, Caelyn will run or kill him, means she is all mine, I can finally avenge my death, it will not only make her suffer but Aden, these games coming back it's messed with me, my steel mask, my lack of care has almost been broken to the point I feel anger and hatred but I try to shield it because it can be used against me and I'm not ready to fail, I have my own goals not the capitols, not that I would fail that no one the 12 on my list will win, Harrison and Kellen don't want to win, I don't know what Harrison wants when I asked him he just said some random word that I know isn't in the English dictionary
But does any one really want to live through this, it could be a trap, yet the fact some tributes blood is almost pink and some is red, does make me wonder, a few tributes died a lot quicker this year then in past, even when I believe Harrison slit the throat of a boy it was barely even deep and he died, but when I stabbed Caelyn in a spot that probably should of killed her because I didn't concentrate her blood was the normal colour, would that mean if one of us won, any of the 12 we would live but if the others do they will die
Maybe they a actual human heart in my body or emotions, I won't lie and say I feel human and act human because I know I don't and peoples opinions of me never really concerned me I couldn't care less if I'm the villain or just some normal guy even though I know that isn't true, really the only normals one this year are the ones certain to die
The Capitol don't want ordinary they want extraordinary and the fact I was raised to be a assassin never lived a normal life makes me extraordinary even if there are multiple definitions of that word, and I don't see myself self as special, I really see myself as nothing yet arrogance killed me but I don't feel confidence, fuck humanity I just stare at my tracker again, even though I like this place, I don't want to be close to Harrison and Kellen knowing they plan to kill me get Caelyn to do and probably kill her
She can try they all can but I know how street kids fight, I know how bloodthirsty insane boys fight, it doesn't mean I can beat them but I can analyse them, all of them have a weakness even Kellen has a weakness is how you kill the strong ones
Again I should know it was my own arrogance that got me killed or maybe it's because I could never handle emotions and when I started to feel them I didn't know what to do, could of been the brain damage that bomb caused me now I check the building I am in my surroundings I ensure Caelyn hasn't tried to be a little coward again
I just grab my sword making sure I have enough supplies with me, might as well find this kid, then work out what I'm doing, if the numbers don't start dropping I might need to actually hunt for people instead of reading over my notes in case the Capitol start to get bored of me but then I know they won't, they want me and Caelyn to fight the hero and the villain, I will give them one it's not like either way it will be a fair fight, she is small and weaker then me but again I can't be arrogant it's a mans biggest flaw ask aryan
I walk out seeing the trees and stones everywhere, as see blood splattered every where but it's fake, even the bones aren't actually bones, I keep walking just subtly ducking behind a rock, bingo I knew they were close maybe close then I thought, I Could attack Kellen seems more focused putting paint in his mouth knife to the head and their goes two strong contenders but it's not the right time we learnt that two in the institution someone times a target needs to be spared
"It's paint" Harrison says
"Its looks so real" Kellen says
I just wait a moment "Luca" Harrison mumbles
I just step out putting my hands out "Wasn't spying just didn't want a confrontation" I say which may shock people but I'm not the villain that causes trouble on purpose it comes do me
Harrison tilts his head and Kellen looks at me "You knew we were close" Harrison says
No shit but I keep those words from coming out of my lips, kids like them I don't truely understand how their brain works and functions ones like Harrison who are almost in their own delusional world then Kellen who I won't get started on, I just nod keeping a grip on my sword they both have their hands in their pocket I know not to attack, two against one makes the odds lower "And you didn't attack" He says
"I told you, you aren't my targets yet" I say
"We are on your list though" Kellen stutters
"Fuck that list I have my own and as long as you two don't purposely get in my way I won't attack" I say they don't look convinced, Markus wouldn't really tell me what he is planning cause he didn't understand Harrison says quotes and Latin words to confuse someone if he has something up his sleeve, and Jasper is loyal to the freak for some reason or he hates me for killing the brat last time all I know it involves Caelyn, Lucky then didn't see me attack her in the bloodbath maybe I made a mistake debut letting her live but she doesn't deserve mercy, I want her to suffer, if she wins then all these misfits if the world will start getting hope and they don't deserve that
"Where are the sheep" Harrison says, so he first knew where I was and know I have a tracker
I step closer handing him my tracker for a brief moment as Kellen just watches me "You two can try and kill me I don't care" I say
"We aren't dumb" Kellen says
"Could be dumb to not attack me when you can" I say as Harrison hands me my tracker back
"Your time will come as the red moon sets over the dark sea, but that day isn't now" Harrison says grabbing Kellen's wrist as those two go into the direction of the boy from 5 and girl from 10, guessing they are getting a little itchy with out kills, I could of thrown a knife but I didn't I know when it's okay to just step back and those are one of those times, although there is no red moon or black seas so what ever Harrison said I do not understand but I never have
I have read up on criminals and maniacs but he and Kellen are not the same, they are something else that's for sure
I just run the opposite moment pausing for a second as I don't hearing anything before running off those two are hunters like me they would know how to focus their hearing and eye sight on movement and sound, I understand that, that's why they are dangerous too, I wouldn't be shocked if Harrison has a tracker maybe his testing my loyalty not that I have any
I thought I had loyalty towards the assassin academy but that was just false as well because they were using me for the Capitol makes me angry, I wasted all my life for them, did everything like a trained pet, just to know we were all pawns in the Capitol game to make their society perfect they disgust me in a sense that's why I understand why kids like Caelyn, Camden, Cohen do what they did, even Harrison and Kellen, they weren't a loyalist like me and deep down I'm disgusted
"I know you" I say
I hear a scream "I killed your allie last games while my psychotic allie killed you" I say, Jackson I think the way one sacrificed himself which ended up gifting me his partner who I wanted in the first place
"His name was Houstan" He says just backing away, I don't normally don't tease my future victims but for some reason I find it fun, especially the scared ones the ones who don't have the guts to fight back
"Houstan had a little problem didn't he" I smirk
He tries to run and I just let the knife fly out of my hand
'BOOM'
And just like that last years victor Alistair's tribute is dead in a blink of a eye, I don't even bothered picking up the knife lodged in his head but when I light my torch to the body I see the pink blood flowing and blood shouldn't be pink, I just slice my palm mine is much darker I don't even feel it and it's chunky, blood clotters, maybe even more clotted then the last time would make dying a longer process, I just look at my tracker might as well find somewhere to camp out, I picked another weakling off my day is done for now not that I feel anything looking at his body I feel nothing, I just run off wanting to get away from the woods, let the animals have this territory, the rain starts to get heavier due to it being the start of the day even morning, it's hard to tell the time with the dark sky
Maybe that's what Harrison meant, the sky may turn red not that I'm concerned the fact I may die, to be honest I would rather die then be a slave for the Capitol my entire life, well for the rest of my life
Yet I won't roll over and die, I could of won my games, if I didn't tease Aden be in two minds whether I wanted to make him suffer or not I would of been victor, but do I really want that, I enjoyed being a assassin gave me a purpose in life, I doubt I would want to help other kids get out I don't care about other people
But I can't fail again, but fail what, I just throw another knife watching as it breaks through a window, my anger is growing and I can't have that because emotions, are poison they control people to do things that may end up drowning them in a pit
Fuck now I'm speaking like Harrison, maybe the inconclusive mental stability is still in my head, when I normally had a no care attitude, or maybe I'm not use to feeling this way, use to emotions, they deep down concern me, like this anger the fact I want to murder someone when I never did, I use to scoff at emotions
Scoff at the fact I was human, maybe it would save the pain, to be a robot, we were raised to think that way and I wish I did, I walk through the alley way of this town, still reminds me of one, the sections no one knew about maybe Harrison did, a lot of his victims came from there are I see writing on the wall, blood splattered on it
'You are next' in big coloured words, doesn't concern me, I don't hear anyone, I break down the back door of what I think is a abandoned car yard, what ever a car yard is seeing metal everywhere, papers, more blood like someone died here wouldn't shock me if this is what the rest of the world outside panem looks like completely abandoned
And after a few more days this arena is about to get 23 more bodies
Denver Wright 18, District 4 Male
Maybe I am becoming what I trained to be
A career
I always knew it, when I was in the games I tried to block it out, the hunting element the fact deep down I was looking for tributes that's why I attached myself to jett because he made me feel normal, he showed me you could be strong and not a killer, then when he died all those lessons, all those words about how as careers we need to do everything to win, that we need to do everything to ensure we aren't walked over it got to me
I admit my positive nature was drained out
In training I actually wanted to say sorry, to start new with Caelyn and Maverick, I hate them but I didn't want to target them well I thought I didn't but then that career mindset came back, the career leader mindset wanting to kill them, demanding Griffen to kill them, I hated myself for it but on the half I was angry at him, Cassia always said before the first time I had the qualities to be a proper career leader, in my first games I just didn't care but this year I do maybe I did change changed a lot more then I hope
The simple thing is I don't want to die again
Even now I feel like we are hunting rather then looking for a place to stay deep down I want to do something, be extraordinary or maybe it's because I'm deep down threatened by Griffen, he took my role the next year and did it better, I'm just seen as the jester which is more stupid then a clown someone who is pretty much useless or maybe because I miss Jett more then I thought or maybe because I'm scared of loosing Griffen even if I don't show it
I am scared of being alone, scared of being a monster again
Maybe it would of been safer if he walked, I over heard his conversation with Adrian I don't know if I could just stab him in the back unless his worried I will, I mean I have changed I know that he knows it too, I'm afraid of what path I'm taking, I just saw them and I flipped I wanted to make maverick suffer by hurting Caelyn yet I wanted to just make maverick suffer, if Griffen just killed her no it's not his fault I shouldn't have put that on him
I should of killed her my self, because for some reason that's what I want to do, but I can't just do it on my own I look over to Griffen who is just playing with a Rubix cube "Did you any time in your first games after you killed wanted to do it more" I say
He looks stunned then burst out laughing as I just look at him "Fuck you weren't kidding uh, no like man who is that crazy, fuck do we need to take you to a psychiatrist" he says
I just stare at him, they did something to me I know it or maybe the dumb act was just t hide my insanity I just look at him "Do you want to talk about it" he says
"Not with you" I snarl, he just flinches
"Griffen I'm sorry" I say he just nods going back to playing with his rubix cube I hate this who I become, I'm a bully, I could very well become a monster, I knew eventually my wall will crash or maybe because I'm not use to hardship I had everything on a silver platter, a care free life, people like maverick, like Caelyn they didn't yet here I am wanting to kill them for just surviving while I pretty much caused my death but then he started at the wrong moment that's also what lovely cassia said, when it come to the crunch I was too cowardly and hesitated it gets you killed
I look at my trident no what I'm doing I can't do that to Griffen he isn't Jett but he is still my friend, maybe if we kill someone I won't feel this way anymore "I know you like this place buddy but we should move" I say
"Oh damn I loved playing with these little toys can I take some" he says
"If you want mate I ain't the shop keeper" I say smile and act like nothing is wrong, I just need to get this anger out and I don't want to scare Griffen I know he senses the tension as I do, it's crumbling and if we disunite we will become sitting ducks, I know why he didn't end you leaving he doesn't want to be alone, it wasn't because he wanted to stay with me
I thought of walking, for some reason there is this tension between us and there shouldn't be, maybe we were too similar, I don't know, it wasn't like this in training, during the Capitol we goofed around and it felt like we were at home, not this where he can barely shut a eye, not when I want to kill people, and it's worrying but I can't walk because I have no where to go either, I burnt to many bridges with Caelyn and Maverick and I know when I see them again that rage will come back
Then there is Luca, yeah right even thinking about going to him is hilarious, I tried with the kid not that he is a kid wouldn't even call it human, the only others from my games that I knew are capable are Maxen and Axel and we what Griffen said Cohen seems like a loyal guy but they would hate me because my district
We just need to make things work try to ignore the building tension hope it doesn't show in a fighting situation, unless...
I just angrily kick a garden gnome "Woah bro what did Mr gnomey do to you" Griffen says as it crashes and breaks just like my sanity is trying to do
Why am I even thinking about killing him that's not who I am, who I was it isn't fair, Griffen deserves better "Memories of my last games" I lie, he just slaps me on the head skipping off I know he can see it too but that's just Griffen apart from our argument yesterday he hadn't mentioned anything, his just trying to ignore it
I guess it's refreshing, but it also annoys me that he can't think seriously but who am I to judge, I didn't take last games seriously, I fell into Luca's trapped become pawns to his games, I let jett die and when I tried to get revenge I choked at the last minute, let insanity take over and got my whole face ripped apart even now when I touch my cheek it's hard to believe it's normal because I felt his knife going into me over and over again until I finally died
I don't want to go through that again because it terrified me it's making me want to switch it off and I though it would be hard, hard to become heartless and robotic like Luca but clearly it's easier to people believe I'm okay, Griffen isn't the most selfless person his probably in his own little world, jett would of know something is wrong straight away, but Jett is dead, Griffen isn't and I shouldn't push him away because his all I have left and I don't want to die alone again
"We can talk about it I know you don't want to but" he says
"Everyone has come back like they died, Luca still the same dickhead killed, Maverick still the innocent terror toddler, Caelyn still this hero even Maxen is still wanting his morphling but here I am and my mind is all over the place to the point, I feel like a career that I want to be one" I say
We are standing out in the rain but I guess I need to get this off my chest "It's okay to feel that way, this is a killing game isn't it, I don't want to hold you back" he says
"Your not just don't freeze on me again, I don't want to have to cut a heavy weight" I say, I just flinch not even realise I see that as his lip quivers
"I see footprints over there two sets we should follow maybe a tribute we can kill" he says softly turning around, I didn't even notice them but looking I do
"You sure it isn't Caelyn and Maverick" I ask
"There are three lines not too, unless you don't want to" he says
"District 3 easy targets" I say
"I guess" he says turning off into their direction, easy targets something Luca would say, I'm almost tempted to go find him, ask him what the hell is happening to me, even someone like Harrison who may know what we were injected with Cassia was helpful in the sense there will be side effects because we would be harder to kill then the other 12, nightmares, coldness, emotions
"Do you still feel cold" I ask Griffen
He turns around "I mean this rain is like ice but you mean inside yeah, like I stood under a boiling, like I mean boiling water for half an hour which made me look like I had sunburn but I still felt cold" he says
"Ah that was why your face was all red" I say
"Not like I have any ladies to impress" he winks
"What about nightmares" I say
"Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning, your death was worse then mine it might just mean your side effects are worse" he says, or I'm more unstable then him
"Your right" I say, we run into a small broken down village, all the buildings pretty much destroyed, like there was a bomb
"What the hell are the flags" Griffen says
"Someone destroyed this place like a group or something" I say I don't know the logo, I know it wasn't one of the groups Caelyn and Aden were a part of, or the thing Luca was with, the rain starts to get a little lighter as I hear the flashing of puddles
"You sure you heard someone, I can't see anything"
Certainly a girl, fuck how many girl are left, maybe it is Caelyn "I swear let's just hide"
I sigh in relief that isn't Maverick, I know is he like Harrison and Kellen have a little bit of a stutter at times, even Caelyn is a soft talker and it isn't Luca because why would Luca hide with a girl "I don't know man, they seem innocent let someone else have them" Griffen says
I just stare at him, forcing a sword in his hands and running to their direction "Or give me a fancy sword, that's cool" I hear him say
I just grip onto mine, I threw my trident away because it once again brought to many memories not that I can't use a sword it's probably safer to have one because the stronger tributes use that or throwing knives
"Now I hear something, please let's hide don't make the same mistake as last time" she says as I hear him agree and they run into the closest shop, as I look back as Griffen comes over
"They are in there, are you going to do your role or walk away" I say
"What is my role, Denver" he says
"We have to man, you know that, if we let this two live we make a fool out of ourself more then one" I say
"You take the stronger one" he says
"And who is that" I say
"Take the boy then" He says I can hear annoyance in his voice he doesn't want to do this, but deep down I do we can't just walk every year a girl apar form the one who was put their for a reason floated and who knows they could win this year weirder things have happened we open the door as they try to run for the back door, but Griffen throws a knife into Siennas shoulder, as she stumbles down as her distinct partner runs to help her but I lunge at him as he barely ducks the swing of my sword
"Just let us go" he says ducking again I just pause for a moment looking back as Griffen once again is standing their his sword shaking in his hand as I barely dodge a swing to my face not realising Nolan had a knife as I just smash my shoulder into his chest swinging my fist at his nose
"Sienna Run" Nolan says as I just slamming my fist into his head again and she tries but the door is locked as I small smirk appears on my lip, as I just slam my sword into Nolan's stomach
"Clearly they want you two, dead I am sorry by the way" I say
I just grab him by collar slamming my sword into his chest
'BOOM'
"Nolan" Sienna says just looking at me as she just runs towards the items door and I tilt my head she can't get out either
"That's a little unfortunate isn't it" I say to her
She looks at me "Your pathetic" I say to Griffen who once again stands there, he just lunges for her as she moves out of the bashing into me as I just throw her over to him, let him do something for once
"Why can't you kill her for fuck sake Denver I'm not like you IM NOT CAREER" he says just throwing her to the ground as I just flinch
"I didn't mean that, I'm sorry uh what's her name" He says just stepping over her pushing his boot on her wrist and kneeling down
"Sienna" I say softly
"Sorry Sienna but the master has spoken" he scoffs, just slamming his sword into her neck
'BOOM'
He just gets off her body slamming into my shoulder and walking out "You coming" he says
I just stare at the two bodies, guilt flooding me as I walk out "I didn't know what I was thinking, I'm sorry" I say
He just pats me on the chest "It's okay, maybe we should just stick together for a few more days then split before we loose this friendship between us if you can even calm it that" he says
"Griffen, please don't leave" I say
"Just watch your words, I'm not as strong as you, it hurts my feelings you know" he says
I just nod not wanting to say what's on my mind, that it's annoying watching him freeze when we have to slaughter tributes because that's our role isn't it we are still careers I'd we like it or not and tributes need to die, and he does too
Rayden Sanders 16, District 5 Male
I finger my token, the last thing I touched, the last thing I had before I died, everyone is saying that when they died they felt cold, and scared, I never felt anymore happier, like I knew I was finally finding peace
Yet here I am back where it started, the place that made me grow but also the place I wanted to escape, Nelson said I didn't give up, said it was the right choice because I knew and he knew I had no hope, if I thought my death would of been slower, my killer wouldn't show mercy and my temporary allie would of had to suffer more, that's what traps are there
If you run into one there is no escape, whether you are smart or not, just like life if I loose I die again, if I live I become victor, I have tried hard to find that will to live, Nelson even got me to talk to Xander yet I don't know if I want too do what he did, want to find the will to survive, when Camden died the first time I was at a lost, I wanted revenge but I wanted to kill my self too, if Aelia didn't knock sense into me I probably would of killed myself but she isn't here to come save me again, Easton isn't here either, I'm happy to sacrifice my life for Camden, i it means I can get peace again, hoping they won't bring me back, but I was the hugest placing five tribute even if I'm useless I still stood out because of it
"Were you told I gave up" I say putting my token back in my pocket as he stops ripping some book up
"Xander said you didn't fight back, it's okay to give up, it meant you had a more peaceful death I understand" he says, he didn't die alone and neither did I, Easton pretty much stayed with me the entire time made me feel like he was my friend, I'm scared that my death will be more brutal this times we don't know most of the tributes scary thing is Kellen and Harrison are back, I heard bad things about Luca and Maverick
"That's all I wanted I knew I had no choice, I was in the way of a boy and his revenge" I say
"Happy that little twat isn't back, would of given him a good beating for killing you" he says as I just smile at him, I am shocked he is so nice to me yet he literally calls his best mate names when he wants something even Xander said Camden wasn't as nice to him as he is with me, maybe I'm not always hated
I remember begging Aelia to kill me she just slapped me in the face, guess that woke me up maybe I did need it instead of being mollycoddled but in away I wasn't use to being treated nicely at home, I was avoided because I saw the dark sky instead of the sun, people thought I was some budding serial killer yet I barely held myself together when I killed someone, seeing Sienna back brought up those memories which was another reason I was scared to approach Camden worried he would hate me
"Are you going to beat Kellen" I say, I still don't understand why he didn't kill me, I didn't understand why he wanted to make me suffer when I did nothing wrong but that's how bullies work pick on the week and make them feel worse about themselves, I mean Xander did show someone like me can win yet I don't have that aggressive nature, I cried after I killed someone last time
"In a perfect world yes but I was lucky he didn't actually drink my blood or eat my heart so I might just avoid the kid for a little bit" he says
"Or for ever" I say, after we ran into the boy from 8 yesterday we didn't really run into anyone, just went into this office which Camden destroy thinking it was for the president, like how he threw the head of this little statue thing off and into the little fire place that's keep us warm, not that I feel warm, my blood feels like ice yet I don't have nightmares maybe because I wanted to die
And maybe that hasn't changed, I deep down use to wish the dead would come back, the people that actually loved me but they never did, coming back it doesn't feel right, knowing that some of us were injected correctly and some of us weren't it scares me, my blood is bright red but I know I'm the weakest of the 12 I know I can be cut, they clearly would want Camden to last longer to see how he handles it
Test the strong and see who won't crumble, that person would be the victor
"Well if the dick head would send me a tracker, that would be great" he yells
"You did speak about him more nicely before we died" I say
"That's cause he was innocent and nice like you, now he is like me, I still love the kid like a brother but it's fun to annoy him" he says
I jump when something smashes into the window, Nelson did say ask for anything I needed but we don't really need anything like with our year we have enough supplies and most buildings or houses have food and all that, wish we could have a little heating though but it's our actual body that is cold, not the outside, I guess I always felt cold like ice
Camden opens the window pulling out a canister "Love you bro" he shouts, he hasn't changed either which is good, because he does keep me amused, like how he was screaming at that clock to shut up like the last time and he broke it like the last time yet we both died the last time, I just flinch not wanting to think about it because it will bring me down and I'm trying to look on the bright side, I know I will die, I might as well try to enjoy my last moments
Well I hope, I never thought I would come back again, not that we were gifted a second chance at life, it was pretty much wake up, in train and now back in here but I hope if I do die I won't get thrown back in here again, I don't know how much I can handle it because I hate this games most do
"Fuck you" Camden says at the note as I see the tracker
"Man you must be popular" I say, Camden asks for gloves he gets it, asked for another jumper he got it, asked for a torch he got it, didn't get the machine gun though, Nelson did say that mentors can technically choose to send anything, nuclear bombs, guns, killer robot if the tributes have enough sponsor money clearly must get rejected
"Its isn't me, people love Xander, sadly this tracker doesn't give us everyone only Kellen, Harrison and Luca the tributes that are the most dangerous, we aren't close by any at the moment so hopefully it stays that way" he says
"What about the twos" I say
"They aren't on here but if worse comes to worse I think they could be swayed to spare us but luckily I haven't really gotten into a fight with anyone, so we should be cool and I made a deal with Cohen" he says
I just nod "It's okay buddy it will be over soon" he says ruffling my hair, as long as I die first this time, he can handle it, he is stronger always was, deep down I feel like I disappointed him, he gave me a chance to live I doubt Kellen was going to target him, I don't know what Kellen planned yet I lived and I pretty much rolled over and died but looking back at it I had no hope
Kellen and Harrison no way I could of killed either of them, Same with Aelia and Everett even this year I'm one of the weaker ones, I haven't trained, I haven't lived in the street and had to fight my entire life "What if they bring us back again" I say
"I will murder them, I don't think they can, clearly there were side effects, who knows if that actual victor will live, you know about science this is almost impossible" he says
"It isn't just science, they must of used chemicals, medicine, technology, I have done experiments before but the access they have to equipment and everything was a lot more then I had for example" I say
"You can make electricity like that's sick" he says I look at my taser, they had a kit there already was a built one but I enjoy making them, Camden asked me to make him a laser gun but I didn't have the stuff plus I don't actually know what he wanted with a laser gun they can't actually kill someone unless they have some sort of heat in it but even then they are hard to make, Hard to find the part for it I use to work with them and one would take over a year to actually make yet the Capitol had machines that would make them in a second, just like how they would have the technology to cut grain, one to make weapons, to cut down trees, to mind coal
They technically don't really need all us but they can't be bothered pushing a button so they make the districts do the hard labour
Make them suffer
"I don't make it but yeah, I wonder if our district have changed much" I ask
"Mine has thanks to Emo kid but yeah it would be weird wouldn't it, going back it's been what 5 years and we haven't even grown or changed, which is annoying since I had huge plans for my 19th was going to destroy the church" he says
"Churches were scary" I say like that relgious girl, but she died, and maybe a few more have I hope Cillian is alive I was hanging with him but when Mia came I got a little scared because she sort of reminded me of Sienna and I panicked plus I can't really talk to girls, Aelia was different and even Caelyn seems different because she is pretty much a boy in a girls body
"And annoying, shit I wonder who killed Mary or what ever her name was" he says
"Who is Mary" I say
Camden chuckles as I jump a little when I hear the familiar sound of the athem and we both peek outside and I flinch "At least she didn't have to suffer for long" Camden says softly as I look at him
"There are only two left who weren't bolded means the strong ones need to start dying" I say softly
Means the weakest will die first and that's mean "You made it far the last time and you said the same thing" he says
He has a point but the competition was weaker last time, and all the strong ones the favourites they made the final 5 I was just lucky, and luck does run out for people for the ordinary ones and I am ordinary
And maybe that's better then being one of the extraordinary ones being in the spotlight for the world to see "This time feels different, I mean I'm predicted 12th even if I came sixth last time meant it was a fluke" I say
"Predictions mean shit, when has anyone predicted one, win, I don't remember have some hope" he says yet I know his only being like this because he knows I won't get in his way of living and I understand that he wants to live through this wants a better life
I know if I win I get that but I also know I'm bit mentally strong enough to handle it, the emotions, I will just roll over and give up and I don't want to do that considering that everyone else has to die
"I will" I say
He just pats my back helping me up "Let's just get a little further from the psychotic freaks, wish maverick was in this too, kid is a little not all there" he says
"He did tell me that when fire turns purple it has this acidic power to boil someone from a far" I say
"Exactly, jeez what's up with these districts spitting out crazy boys, should be a movie" he says I just laugh
"Never met a crazy girl" I say
"You don't want to we had one, she didn't last long" he says as we walk outside the rain not as heavy if anything just spitting from the sky as its night mean it's almost the next day
"You feel like these games are going slower or quicker" he says
"I don't know, I mean don't they tend to drop quick then slow down, obviously it will go a little quicker with the four who are actually known serial killers or what ever Luca is" I say
"An all mighty assassin freak head apparently" Camden says
We aren't on his list, not that he seems to have one but I died before his games and I didn't want to watch the replays in case I started to become mentally scarred again and at the moment I have the willingness to fight even if I know it's a loosing battle but I don't know how long I will for
