Day 6
Caelyn Watson 16, District 2 Female
Amor caecus est
It was one of the sayings we use to follow, we had to, once you joined the sibling hood, love was almost taboo, because they say it's blind and we didn't want anything to ruin the foundation
I'm starting to realise that now, I saw the cracks appear in the bloodbath but I hoped he could control it for long, his sanity is hanging by a thread right now and like last time it can be hours or minutes before I loose him because you can't fix what's broken, as much as I wish you can
Maverick isn't broken yet but he almost is "I didn't mean it, if you didn't scream at me for breaking your car, if you didn't hurt me, I wouldn't have hurt you" he says softly, pretty much all night he had been talking to himself, when ever we made eye contact he glared at me or growled but if I looked like I was about to move he panics
His actions did shock me, the look in his eyes it wasn't like anything I have experienced, it was worse then the first games, he has said it more often how he wanted to kill me, even now he keeps dragging a knife across his hand to make himself feel human
This doesn't feel right, staying here, forcing him to have to control himself, yet if he does kill me, I know it will mentally damage him more, he finally remembered what he did to his family and I think that triggered him to the point he told me last night he enjoyed killing Rayden and he will enjoy killing me and said he feels no remorse because humanity shouldn't exist, that humanity is broken and cruel
That isn't the Maverick I know, and deep down love, I look at the poison in my hand as he just keeps whimpering to himself smearing the blood from his hand on the ground instead I throw it in the fire, I can't do that to him, after my last games betraying someone, I can't do that again or I will shatter and I'm doing everything right now to stay strong, as the little fire places turns off
"Poison kills fire" Maverick says softly
I just look at him "Does it now" I say
"Poison also turns the innocent to evil" he says
I just stare at him "If you want to kill me go ahead I don't care" he says
This isn't Maverick, maybe I have already lost him, he just whimpers for a second or maybe I haven't but I'm still cautious his mind is all over the place and all it takes is a trigger for him to completely loose it "Don't hate me, please don't hate DONT HATE ME" he yells
Stay calm, stay calm, I don't know why I'm so blanked face or maybe the fact I confessed to killing my brother has made me even more scared to show emotions, I killed him by accident, self defence yet it felt like murder that was always the main reason for joining the sibling hood they knew I wasn't just a innocent girl, I split blood, I split my own blood, but what he did, I just shut my eyes for a second as I hear footsteps and Maverick just wraps his arms around me, maybe he is okay, even though his behaviour had concerned me more then the first time
"I still want to torture you to death for over 5 hours while I hear your screams and feel your blood drench through my hands" he whispers in my ear, I just freeze I'm terrified no one can deny that, my mask is breaking to the point all the emotions will flood
He pulls away staring at me for a moment and I almost see a hollow look in his eyes the same look I see in Luca's eye, and once your hollow nothing is saving you "You scared of Me" he says
"I'm not" I say
"You heart is beating a hundred miles per hour, you promised you weren't scared of me" he says raising his voice, I knew it was a risk joining him but I hoped, I prayed he can last that he can handle a week it's the sixth day and I might need to pull the trigger but what trigger cause I don't want to hurt him, I don't want to kill him again I don't know if I could last the rest of this arena with that on my chest I broke the last games but luckily for me there was only three left there is still 11
Or I leave him, abandoned him when he needs me the most
I don't know which one would be worse
"I'm not, I'm just worried I don't want you to force me to kill you" I say
He leans closer "Don't leave me, if you leave me Caelyn you will be my enemy number one I lov- I mean I care for you, if you leave me it will just shatter me inside and I won't be able to recover that's why I killed my family, that's why I pretty much forced a boy to be a prisoner for over a month until he died, it's why I killed the mayors daughter because when I get attached to people and they see me as a monster, he takes over" he says
"What about the several hundreds you killed" I say
"It's when I sleep, it almost like I'm awake but I'm not my sub conscience takes over and I'm another person, just promise me I would rather you kill me then leave me, I don't want to hurt you but I do to" he says
I just nod as he just tilts his head staring at me as that look flashes in his eye again, his really scaring me now and it's hard to rattle my cage I should of listened to Everett once again I chose my heart, I chose to explore this bond I have with him and I have no regrets but it's not going to be a happy ending I know that and he knows that too
Sadly this world isn't a fairy tale
"Why don't you murder more people" he says
"Cause it isn't right" I say I just bite my lip as he growls at me and I wince when he slams his knife in my knee, as he flinches for a moment but growls again, he once again as me cornered in a wall, as I put my hand to grab my sword
"You want to hurt me" he cries out I put my hands up, always eliminate your weakness but this time my weakness isn't mental or physical it's human, and even if there is a monster inside him, even if he isn't perfect, there is a human inside Maverick that I have fallen for that if we met outside the games I know I could go spent my entire life with him yet the other he side is what worries me and we still haven't realised what his obsession with teeth is, what he did to all those people and what event in his childhood triggered him because Everett did say Maverick was a victim as a child
"Of course not, you hurt me and I panicked" I say
"BECAUSE I HATE YOU" he says
He just throws him self away just hugging his legs in a corner, I know what Everett would want right now, what all of panem would want end him now, let him go back to peace, all my life my humanity has been tested but this, this might be the worse
"You are a sick dog, you are, Caelyn please help me" He whimpers, just covering his ears
"Are you hearing things" I say, they always say put someone out of their mercy I never did it but yet it was a code of ours if you see a injured or wounded person you ended their pain, living in two was dangerous, the quarry areas would have a death every day, even making weapons or bombs I knew, one faulty wire or one wire where it doesn't belong and you die, luckily for me that never happened
"Hearing, seeing, remembering, it's really bad and I feel the only thing to stop it is to get rid of the person making me hold onto my humanity" he says
"I can leave" I say softly
He just lunges at me with his knife and I dive out way just in time "You are mine, no else can you" he says
"No one else will but I don't want you to hurt yourself for me" I say
I jumped into the deep end I knew risks, he lost everyone that loved him, everyone else avoided him but I opened my heart to him and we connected apart from the times he had his episodes, no one else had made me feel this normal, yet with people like him he sees me as his, because he is scared of loosing me, and I'm scared of loosing him
But I think I already have lost him
"I'm doing this all for you, killing everyone, I did it for you, I'm a monster because of you" he yells
"You killed before you even knew me" I say he lunges again and I duck out of the way, we are in some preschool room, I was hoping the bright lights, and colourful decorations would soothe him but clearly not
"I'm not a monster, I don't mean it, you don't get it, I wake up covered in blood and it terrifies yet next second I have these thoughts of wanting to hurt more people, I want to be normal, that's all I wanted only you make me feel that way yet I want to hurt you physically every single possible way" he says
"I'm breaking you, it's not fair" I say
"This is your fault it's all your fault" he says I lunge again, falling into a chair as a small wince escapes my lips
I don't know how to get out of this, one second he is sobbing and distressed next second, he is trying to murder me
"Maverick we need to talk through this" I say
"What you have a problem, there is no problem" he yells
"I didn't say there was" I say now I'm panicking making him believe I believe he is insane when he isn't, well I don't think he is but I know I'm being naive letting feelings that I shouldn't have for him cloud my judgement, when in the sibling hood I would of cut him loose but I'm not that girl anymore, that girl died the second I set that bomb, that's when I started change
"You are nervous" he says
I just wince when he throws a knife at my stomach the pain making me stumble back a little as he just flinches a little bit "Maverick" I say roughly pulling it as he lunges at me again getting us both to ground
"You don't get it do you, I lost everyone, and everyone that I wanted to be friends with avoided me because they thought I was dangerous, disturbed, everyone at home looks at me and they saw the sick boy who killed his family, even you did" he says
I try to push him off but he grabs my hands, his weight keeping me down "I avoided everyone out side of my people but when I got to know you, I realised you were different" I say
He just looks at me leaning closer to the point our lips are almost touching, but then I wince again when I feel a pain burst through my hip "I don't believe I saw your face when I killed, when I killed- I killed, what was his name" he cries
When a killer starts to forget their victims it's mean they are slowly loosing the remorse, it means the only thing keeping him truely human is starting to drain but who am I to judge for years I pretended that my brother's death was suicide, I barely even admitted it to myself, it wasn't until Maverick said so that the memories came back, it's like I almost believed the fact I didn't kill him but I remember everything
It was self defence yet it still feels like cold blooded murder, I need to stay calm he is pretty much on top of me right now and one anger episode his knife could enter my throat, chest or head and even with our blood clotters it's still will kill me, it took almost 4 minutes for him to finally kill Rayden, that's probably why I need to think of something but at the moment my mind is in panic mode
I wish I didn't throw that poison away
No what am I thinking I can't hurt him but I can't stay with him Either for once in my life I have to think about myself but can I really handle being alone I'm not use to it, I never was alone in my life always had someone even if I may block people I off, seem distance loneliness is one of my biggest fears and it would make me vulnerable and a ways target for Luca, Kellen, Harrison, even Denver hates me "Rayden" I say
"And you just stood there like a coward" he screams trying to brings his hands to my mouth as I grab his hands
"Maverick please, I know deep down you don't want to hurt me" I say softly
"No on the surface I don't want to hurt you but deep down I went to rip you to shreds, I hate you" he yells, he doesn't but the words still hurts I bring my knee up pushing him off as he screams in anger then stops again covering his ears
"Caelyn help me please" he says
He is having a full mental break down and I don't know what to do I'm not a doctor but even a doctor wouldn't have done anything just knock him out and lock him up maybe he can't be fixed, maybe the only way to save him is to let him go as much as it will break me inside
"Sick dog, sick dog" he whimpers
He looks at me again a screaming and lunging as I just panic throwing him away as hard as I can and I freeze when his head hits the edge of the table as I just flinch the memories of how I killed my brother coming back
"Maverick, I didn't mean that" I say I expect him to get up and lunge at me but he is completely still as I just run over to me putting my hand on his neck, he is breathing, I look at his watch sighing in relief '80%'
I just knocked him out I jump a little when a parachute hits me as I open it and see three viles, two saying medicine, one saying sleeping medicine and I know why, I can't leave him like this not when someone can walk in and kill him, but this room is safe we had to take a vent to get in cause it's barricaded but it's not right
'You have to run if you can't kill him you have to leave him, it's only hindering your chances I know you will hate your self but this gives you both the best chance to win, give him the sleeping liquid first then the medicine and try to run as far as possible your not the only tribute in your area but he will be safe and use the other medicine for your self-E'
My hands shake on the vile, what if someone comes in and hurts him but, I have to think of my self I don't want to die again and Everett is right staying with him causing him to hurt him self more, I have to set him free it's the only way for both of us to survive this or least have the chance
"I'm sorry please understand as much as this breaks we have to split, otherwise we will both die" I say, Payton told me well the only thing he actually did speak to me about was to do everything to make sure Maverick isn't my killer because he wouldn't survive it I barely did the first time and I spent years learning how to control my emotions
I just pushing the sleeping liquid in his neck then the medicine sighing in relief when the wound on his head heals as I just pause for a moment looking at my sword I can't do that it would be like slitting my own wrist, I can't kill him again I would die, I just crawl at the vent last year a tough choice ended up beignets the wring choice
This time it might end up being the right choice
Griffen Fabel 17, District 4 Male
"Why does this feel like de ca vu" I say
"Is that how you say it man, I mean you don't look French, I mean you also don't have a arm" I say to the soldier toy next to me, I mean how ever you say that word it feels like that laying here in a little kid room talking myself feeling like shit, and this time I have an allie
If I could even call him that things have gotten even more tense to the point we have barely spoken, barely been in the same room every time we did, we just argued yet I didn't have the heart to turn my back and walk away, I don't know what I did or maybe it's as usually stupid griffen who needs to get his head into gear, maybe Denver believes that too, but he use to be like me, happy, care free be a jokester yet this year he is like another person, and that's my biggest fear dying a changed man
"At least I have you man, like I swear I said the same thing to mr space man, before I died shit" I say
We haven't really done much unless the Capitol enjoy our clear tension but I'm also worried if we stay in the same place for too long they will force us to turn against each other and I don't know if I'm ready for that, we haven't really be a United front or United at all but we did have good memories together, I guess his games messed with his head mode then mine but like he has told me more then once he had to face his killer, the killer of his best friend I didn't not that I have any hostility or hatred towards Alyse, it was accident we were fighting like two careers, I almost killed her and she took the chance, there was no callous
I died because I lost the fight, I didn't watch Denver's death but Cassia did say it was brutal when she screamed at me when I was whinging, you can see it in his eyes too, almost soulless, but I have to try and smile, look on the bright side it's all I have "I didn't die say 6 or 7 last time I guess fuck man I don't even know, what day it is, do you" I say
No answer I would hope not either it would creep me out, but considering Denver just threw me a packet of biscuits and a refilled drink bottle yesterday didn't say anything then locked the door, he clearly doesn't want a bar of me
Then why is he still here, why am I still here, I was in a toxic alliance last games it wasn't fun deep down it got to me but I still kept my humanity even if I ran into my own death, I just put the toy in my pocket walking out as Denver just stabs his knife on the wood over and over again "Keep your voice time next time, someone might hear" he mumbles
"Sorry man you know I don't like this silence thing your doing so I have to talk to someone" I say
"We aren't friends why should we talk" he says
I look at him shaking "I thought we were" I say that hurts it does
"We were but I can't loose someone, again you don't get it do you, if I get attached to you which is really easy since your the lovable goof ball and I loose you I will drown in insanity again" he says
"So pushing me away, treating me like shit is better, my happiness is all I have left Denver don't steal that from Me" I say
"I'm not but, fuck I don't know my head is all over the place right now" he says
"THEN LETS FUCKING TALK ABOUT IT" I scream he looks a little stunned I actually screamed cause normally I'm placid and nice in nature
He walks over to me and I just stand still for one moment "Not with you" he says just brushing against my shoulder and walking to the door
"Don't leave me bro" I say
"You wanted to leave the other day" he says
"I know you don't want to be alone, look we don't have to be friends, let's just be allies, the competition left is strong if we are alone it will make us easier targets" I say
He hands me a note 'They split you know what you need to do-C'
"Now you want to still be allies, I feel like I need to avenge myself and jett, maybe I was deep down a career, deep down prideful that loosing it made me crumble, but I need something to stand out" he says
"You do stand out, you were chosen for a reason" I say
"Then you stole my spotlight" he says, he does have a point we are similar well we were before he become all grumpy and moody but that is his problem not mine
"Why do you hate them so much" I mumble
"Like I said for the hundredth time you don't understand, your death wasn't slow be painful, you don't have to face your killer and know he is still here and he could kill you again, but you also done have the face the fact knowing you become so lost in insanity you were a different person even now I don't know who I am anymore" he says
I just put my hand on his shoulder "I want to be here with you, I know we aren't friends but I need someone" I say
He looks at me, but do I really want this, he forced me to kill, he has treated me nothing but horrible since we got in here apart from a few moments, do I want to go into a battle we may loose for him, all I really want is a drink and some chicks to dance with but this is the hunger games, not happy La la time
"Then help me, if I kill them or at least one of them maybe I will feel normal again, my thoughts are scaring me Griffen, I actually don't feel any guilt for that boy I killed" he says
I just flinch I try not to think about it, because it doesn't feel right ending a life especially of a innocent girl, especially knowing I was pretty much forced into it, that I just let him control me, it was like that in my first games, pretty much bowing down to my allies and I didn't want to do that again "It's okay we all handle things differently, but are you sure she was talking about them" I say
There are several alliances out there could be anyone "Who else would I have a problem with beside Luca" he says
Luca forgot about him, his probably just chilling knowing he hasn't had to do much, and I thought my games were intense, guess I was lucky I wasn't in Denver's games or even the one Everett won with the cannibal dude, wonder if he is eating a bunny right now
"Which one do we go for, I mean we don't even know where they-" he pulls out a compass
"Oh, could be Maverick he scared Me" I say
"I almost killed him would of, if you stopped Caelyn from stopping me" he says
"I was uh stuck on the ground" I say
"Don't care about your excuses if your going to just freeze again turn around now, I don't need to carry a Dead weight" he says
"You would of made a good career if you put effort into it" I say
He just steps closer and I bite my lip "Let's just go then we work out what we do after this if we stay together or split" he says
"Who are we actually going for" I ask
"I don't know, does it matter" he says
"There is a big difference between the two yeah" I say
One is insane one and unpredictable another is a youth group leader both of them will probably need two of us to take them down
"Caelyn can't fight physically, Maverick is too irrational when he gets set off" he says
"I mean I can hide and throw a knife in their skull" I say even if I don't actually think I would but he doesn't need to know that
"They are mine to kill you just help me" he says
Yep he certainly took some of the crazy water, I wonder why I haven't gone completely bonkers yet people like me are the most vulnerable to crumbling under the pressure in these games yet here I am still the same smiling goof ball, even if I feel like I'm crumbling inside, I know if I start to think negatively, start to look at the dark side of life I will for ever be lost, I just nod but when we walk outside this sick feeling fills my stomach and all I want to do is turn around and run, leave him but I don't have the heart too
Because even if we never shared the closest bond he was still my friend back home, he still enjoyed me for me, and didn't care about our popularity, I guess beside Theon he was my best friend, yet like theon he is betraying me too, and it hurts like a thousand needles piercing into my skin, the rain hits heavily on us as I just grip my sword, a weapon I can barely use "Why aren't you using a trident" I mumble
"Bad memories plus it's a stupid weapon" he says
"You said you loved them back home remember" I say
"Things change" he grumbles
Clearly they have in more ways then one, even I feel different, I just nod "Why would they split though" I say
"Could you really blame Caelyn from running, she is the girl who threw her original allie in a hole under a building that got blown up she isn't the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to choosing between her head and heart" he says
"I wouldn't know wouldn't I, my games Cleary weren't the most important" I say
"Some victors chose" he shrugs, he didn't really answer my question but I mean Maverick is a bit of a rapid pit bull when he feels like he hurts his paw goes all cray cray and I mean I'm not really fond of chasing a loony tune so hopefully it is Caelyn but I do need to remember I was killed by a District two girl so maybe either wouldn't be good for me
"Were we chosen" I say
"I think the Capitol chose" he says I mean that makes me happy, we keep running as I stop when I hear splashing in the distance
"Throw your knife" Griffen says
I look at him and he just grunts throwing it as it lodges into something as a few more lights turn on but they are too far to actually make out, but they just keep running as Denver looks at the compass "It's Caelyn" he says taking off
"How do you know" I say running after him he doesn't say anything, as we make it into a small clearing of broken down buildings as snow starts to fall inside of rain
"Because Maverick wouldn't have ran, now when then fuck she go" he mumbles
"Maybe you saw things buddy you have been a-" "FUCK" I say when a knife lodges on my shoulder, as Caelyn peers out from ontop of a small building
I shove Denver out the way as she throws another, jumping down and taking of running again "YOU ARE A COWARD CAELYN" Denver screams and even in the moment, there is so much callous and hate in his voice towards a girl that just wants to survive, we both take off again, as I take a knife out throwing it as it lodges into her thigh and she slips over quickly pulling it out
"We don't want a fight" Denver says softly, I just hold my shoulder as she looks at me with remorse in her eyes, why aren't we going for the crazy one
"Cut the bullshit, all you want to do is make us suffer for retribution, I get it but don't lead him astray" she says look at me
"Don't get him into this, this is between you and me and will be between Maverick and myself when you die, where is he anyways" Denver asks
She shrugs "Don't get in my way" Denver says just shoving me out the side, as he lunges for her
I don't know what to do as I watch her duck his swing with his sword as she ducks again, but she is a lot more skilled then he made it out to be and she easily blocks then ducks tripping him to ground as she looks at me for a split moment and I put my hands up I don't know what the fuck to do, fuck I need a drink but I just stand still as he lunges again cutting her shoulder open as she swings his fist to his nose as he slams his shoulder into her chest growling slightly when her sword cuts his chin open
As I can see the insanity in his eyes, he wants to kill her, wants to murder her and here I am standing like a idiot, my hands shake on my knife, this isn't right, none of this, revenge is what made me die the first time, they swing again both blocking each other's blow, as Denver pushing his weight forward making Caelyn stumble into the mud "Denver stop" I yell
He just kicks her hardly in the chin turning around and growling at me "Shut up" he growls
"Why are you treating your own allie like this" Caelyn says lunging for him as he just punches her in the nose
"You shut up two" he growls swinging at her as it slices her wrist a small whimper escaping her lips as the sword flies through her hands, Denver takes that as a chance to throw his sword to the side, throwing his arms around her and getting her to ground as he slams his fist into her nose, once twice as I flinch at the cracking sound and just clamps his hands around her neck, having easily pinned her arms with his knees
"Maybe I shouldn't do it quick, make him suffer, you suffer for killing jett, maybe drag out your death, you wouldn't want that wouldn't you" he says just pulling a knife from his pocket but having a hand still on her neck as Caelyn panics tries to move but his too strong for her
"Please just kill me" she says, I flinch again as the grip on my knife shakes
I don't condone this anything of this, torture, bullying, he just slams his knife into her shoulder, I have to do something, I'm not the clown, I'm not the bystander, I know this is the hunger games but Denver is too far gone, Even if Caelyn does try to convince him other wise to not torture her but he just clamps his hand over her mouth as I just close my eyes, no longer the bystander, no longer the clown, I let the knife fly from my grasp
As I open the, just inside as it lodged into Denver's skull
BOOM
He falls of Caelyn as she just freezes for a moment, as I just freeze too looking at the body face down in the mud, as I walk over to her putting my hand out, she hesitantly grabs it as I pull her up
"Thank you" she says softly, I just nod as we stare at each other for a moment both not knowing what to do, my whole body is frozen yet I killed my allie, my district partner, my friend, for a girl I don't even know
I wince when I feel a searing pain explode in my back all the way to my chest as Caelyn looks at me with shock in her eyes as my first thought is she betrayed me but it wasn't by her when I slip into her and she grabs me and looks back to meet eyes with Harrison holding a bloodied knife
"I'm sorry but we need her" he says as Caelyn just holds me tighter but I already feel the life drain out of me, as I fall into never ending darkness
BOOM
Harrison Miller 18, District 1 Male
And just like that sacrificial blood gets spilt as I watch the blood from the knife slowly drop onto the ground, as Caelyn just stares at me stunned then she stares at the body in her arms, as her human inscints take over and she gently puts the body down stepping back
He killed his own allie just to get the stabbed in the back, quite poetic actually, I mean he didn't really have to die but neither Kellen and I could guess what would happen when both over came their shock, would they fight, run away, it's probably just easier to get rid of one to ensure, he can't stand in our way of the end game
Maverick and Caelyn have split
The stronger tributes are starting to die, while some are starting to crumble, and we need to ensure the one who can murder the ones who seem almost untouchable is protected until we don't need her anymore, I barely register Caelyn as she lunges for her sword then lunges for me as I just duck out of the way, I see fear in her eyes I mean the poor girl was about to be tortured just to be saved just to have the boy who saved her die in her arms
Should be a episode of a TV show
Hero's are sacred in these games and she is one, even more so then Aelia and that makes her very important and valuable, she just swings again as I duck and she doesn't realise Kellen come from behind wrapping his arm around her neck grabbing her other hand as she tries to swing her sword at him but he is just to strong "We aren't going to kill you yet" he says as she just looks at me and I put my hands up showing I'm completely weaponless
"Drop your weapon Caelyn" I say softly she just stares at me shock still in her eyes, probably the most rattled I have seen her, she wasn't from my games but I rewatched all of them to decide the good from bad, the sheep to wolves
The fact she didn't kill Griffen when she could of showed she is one of the genuine ones, that she still holds her self to a moralistic code
Kellen just strengthens his grip and she does what I say "Now kick it away" I say
She does what I said "Good girl, now can we trust you not to run or fight" I say
"No because your both sick in the head" she says
What's up with District two girls and a snappy tongue but I appreciate her honesty so Kellen keeps restraining her "We don't want to kill you yet remember my offer" I say
"That sounds like killing me doesn't it plus I split from him anyways" she says
"Oh that's sad" Kellen says sarcastically, she just tries to kick at him but he doesn't react
"I can snap your neck in a second be careful sweetheart" he scoffs
We knew once the dominos started to fall the target will be moved to us, whether it's Luca, Maverick, the boy group, Satan's law was that it's always handy to have a pawn, a protector, I don't want to use Kellen, I bonded with him to the point I can say the C word when describing how I feel yet we know our connection, won't get in our way since becoming victor is the one thing we don't want, I don't want to be victor, there is no point suffering in this earth yet I don't want to just kill my self in case my souls gets into the wrong hands at least if I die at the right time I will go back into my peaceful after life
"I didn't mean that confliction, we always knew you would run from Maverick but there is one person in here who makes you nervous" I say pausing for a second as too many words came from my mouth "And when your nervous you do stupid things" I say
"I get it you two want me to kill Luca" she says
"You kill Luca, and we will protect you before then" I say, Denver could of killed her Kellen was about to jump out and save her but I knew what Griffen will do it was that moment he was asked whether he wanted to join the dark side or the bright side, but he chose the bright side and as a gift for it and got sent back to heaven but her being alone isn't safe, if she dies then we need to kill him and I don't want to do that, and if she dies trying to kill him she dies
Yet she is the chosen one for the reason, we tested it, there is always a way to test who is the one one can kill pure evil that's how I knew before I died, that I was the demon hunter, that's how I knew Aelia was the one to kill Kellen
You put names on the stones of the ones who could be the special one then you put their stone in the fire and the stone last to burn is the one, because fire can predict and look into the future more then a fortune teller can not that they tell the future they are fakes, one day I went by the small witchcraft shop that I thought I burnt but clealry the owners kept building one and met this young lady, she said she can tell my future, I knew straight away she was just reading the first card that a six year old can read, she choked on those cards
"I think the people I need protecting is from you two" she says
"I never once laid a hand on you" I say
"Talking about blood sucker" she says as he just growls still holding onto her
"Your welcome to offer me some of your blood" he sneers
I let him be, like he lets me be it's why we never once have fought or disagreed on something, in some cases similarities clash like Denver and Griffen which lead to both their bodies being on the ground but in some cases they thrive "So what you take me hostage just kill me now" she says
"Your not our hostage, you join us as a temporary allie when we know the time is right we will set you free into Luca's hands hope you don't get killed then I kill you simple" Kellen says
I just flinch not the right words "And if I run or fight" she says looking at me
"He kills you" I say
"Just kill me now I don't really have anything else to live for" she mumbles
"You help us and we won't touch Maverick he isn't our target" I say
Kellen just throws her to the ground as I signal her to pick up her sword "You can either join us or Kellen will put your on a rope like your his dog and gag you" I say, she may have done some questionable actions in both games but out of all the three District two girls that have competed she is the most rational
She picks it looking at Kellen who tilts his head I see fear in her eyes and fear is dangerous "How long for" she says softly
"When the time is right, could be a day, could be five" Kellen says just stepping closer to her
"And if he dies before then" she says, let Kellen play the villain role, I'm just the brains trust, he has committed more sins then me while I have joint the dark side but I know I need to follow their orders to get prolonged peace
Kellen just tilts his head as she looks into the distance "Was killing Griffen Necessary" she says, as she attaches her sword back in her belt it is gambling with fate putting trust in her, but with Kellen if he doesn't feel like someone Trusts him understands him he will react it's same not that they are similar
"Necessary evil" I say
She just looks at me then her sword "What if Maverick comes looking for me" she says
"Let's hope he doesn't get in the way, so yes or no" I say
"How do you know I can beat him" she says
We don't but we have to put faith in someone, I don't want to sacrifice myself to be killed by a sinner and Kellen knows he can't be Luca, let someone else risk their life and if she fails, she fails
That's the way life works if someone else wins they win as long as it isn't me I couldn't care less "We Don't, so yes or no" Kellen says pulling out his cleaver, I watch tilting my head, it's always interesting to see how humans react when their life is handing by a thread do they choose extra time or take the easy way out, not that the fate he has for her is quick and painless, he wants blood, and she has special blood as long as he doesn't realise that we should be fine
That's the only thing I have kept from him, but I don't need history to repeats its self, and my only fri-
My only allie become my biggest rival
"Yes, I can't promise anything though" she says
"You love Maverick don't you" I say
She just nods "Then you won't break your promise because people who break promises during a read moon suffer their biggest nightmare" I say
She looks at the sky raising an eyebrow but nods, as Kellen just grabs her wrist dragging her with him "Do you both have a tracker" she mumbles
"He hasn't moved, what did you do throw him in a hole" Kellen says as Caelyn looks at him
"The hunger games fascinate me as Blood is spilled like a never ending blood fountain" he says
"It's only showing a few, I don't know where Luca is" I say as Caelyn just looks confused as hell
"I don't know why you two are so scared of him, I let it get it my head last time it got me killed" she says
"You aren't black listed, neither of us want to win, we want to do something else" I say
Kellen just whispers it in her ear "You promise that's what you want" she says
I nod "Then I will certainly help, I don't know if I want to live through this either" she says
I just smirk but I still keep a knife in my hand, you can't trust misfits of this world because they don't follow traditions, rules and protocols we both would know, we both went against humanity mine is more warranted since I did do everything to make sure I won't be forever haunted by the devil and now I feel free but I know my souls has been possessed since I barely feel human not that I ever had
We make it deeper in the forest as the rain starts to fall "Did you have woods in your arena" I ask
"Winter forest" she mumbles, being with Kellen, being able to talk more even if I still stutter or flinch has made me feel more confident to use my words at home I had to hide my true identity try to stay out of the spot light in case I said something wrong, knowing one mis-sentence, one disturbing word and alarm bells would ring and normally, that person ended up buried in dirt as a unnecessary sacrifice but it was all their fault not mine they didn't just happen to stumble in my sight
Like my two last victims but that's how you make the world a better place you cut down the numbers until no one else is left living sadly a whole panem massacre is out of my hands and it could of been better if I did let evil roam this earth
I just double check the tracker, at least Caelyn isn't fighting back we knew she may have done dumb things before but she does have a stable head on her shoulders and those are the most dangerous but also the ones you know will choose the right path is they are save, as long as Kellen keeps his hands to his self, we should be okay but if he doesn't and he needs to kill her means she was not the one and we go onto Plan B
Because if you are seen as special and die before your life missions means you weren't the one, we make it back to the cabin as I open the door and Kellen drags Caelyn in throwing her to the corner "Be gentle" I say softly he just looks at me nodding, he does tend to listen to me, those are the times it's easy to take advantage of someone but I wouldn't
Because I do deep deep down have a heart, I always knew it reason why I kept onto tokens from my family, why any time I see a doll I can't help but grab it like the small one of have in my pocket and I didn't even realise it and the reason why I wouldn't be the one to kill Caelyn
Kellen just makes sure he locks the door, there isn't much in here just a few bits if furniture but it does have security Cameras outside, yet we didn't realise Luca was so close, and we didn't realise we were close to where the fours were staying until we heard them arguing but I have no fear of dying and clearly Kellen doesn't either, he walks over to me "You sure we trust her" He says
I look at him "Take her sword just in case" I mumble
A sword is just as sharp as any blade, can cut the head off a snake, but neither of us have trained with it, every time I use one I pictured slender man so I use throwing knives as I can shoot from a distance, he walks over to her "I want your sword" he says she just gives it to him without any argument as he just puts it on his belt
Maybe she is loyal but trusting a hero is like trusting a villain they will do anything for their cause
