Harvey Cropper Age: 20 Victor Of The 110th Hunger Games
Mateo gives a grunt and swings the scythe in a circle around him. Slashing two of the Careers chest. One of them collapses to the ground grasping his chest and then a cannon booms. The other cut one cries out and backs away from him. Mateo gives a grin and presses the advantage. The girl from Four holds a trident out ready, defending the girl from Two as she patches her chest up.
Mateo whirls the scythe down and is blocked by the girl. She then counter attacks and stabs through his moving leg. He screams and she rips her trident out. Falling to his knees Mateo looks up at the girl from Fours trident. Behind her the girl from Two stands and throws a spear through the back of Fours back. She collapses and a cannon booms quickly.
The girl laughs, "I've won. I have won. A wounded weakling is all that's against me. A nothing. Just like your mother and father I bet." the girl continues to rant as she takes the spear out of the girl from Fours back. On the ground the weakened Mateo's eyes glow with anger. Harvey watches from the mentor room, eyes wide.
Mateo leaps of the ground and whirls his spear in to quickly for the eye to follow. After five seconds the cannon fires. The girl from Two lies dead, wounds covering her body. Lesson learnt, don't insult Mateo's family. Harvey smiles widely, another Victor for Nine.
Kernel Bran Age: 41 Victor Of The 88th Hunger Games
Kernel picks the whistling kettle up and off the gas. She turns the gas off and as she pours the water into the teacup, already a teabag of earl grey propped in the cup. She eases her body into the wooden chair and sighs softly. A knock on the door breaks her reverie. She places the cup down and moves towards the door. She clasps the handle for a second before opening the door slowly.
A young man stands at the door, dark circles around his eyes, his dark brown hair is spiked up and he looks slightly wild. "Hey Kernel. I was wondering if I could come in." The man is Mateo and Kernel nods assent to his question. Remembering the pain she felt and still feels at the kills she made in her time. The man brushes past her into the main room of the house.
"Same as mine. Except all the decoration." Mateo looks over at her for help. Kernel smiles kindly and gestures at the kitchen. Mateo walks briskly into the kitchen and stands drinking in the mirror image of his house.
Kernel follows him and once in the kitchen takes a cup out of the cupboards and sets it down on the table. She tosses an earl grey teabag into the cup and pours the left over hot water from the kettle into the cup. "I don't drink tea." Kernel gives him a look of surprise before shrugging and gesturing to it all the same. "Drink."
Mateo hesitates for a second before he grins ruefully and takes a sip. Wincing slightly at the heat, before cooling it down with a blow of wind. He take another sip and seems to take a likening to the flavour. He nods his thanks at Kernel and sits across from her tea cup. Kernel sits down across from him and takes a sip from her tea.
"Now, what do you need? And how can I help?"
Mateo seems to freeze before he sets his cup down and begins to speak, "I can't get the images out of my mind. It was fight or flight and I chose fight every time. Every time. I took lives for what, my own survival. My own gain. It's tainted me, my soul."
"I know how hard it is, believe me. When I got out there was no one. Until I met Aspin. He took me and cared for me when no one else would. My family was already gone, so Aspin helped me build a knew one."
"I'm sorry for your loss."
Kernel smiled sadly and took a sip of tea before continuing, "Its going to be hard. And it might get harder but you will push through, I'll make sure of it. Harvey will make sure of it and your family will always be there for you as well. You have support."
Mateo seems to think on this for a few minutes before nodding, smiling and draining the last of his tea.
"Thanks Kernel. I'd better go now and cook brekkie for my mother and sister."
"Yes, go do that now and make sure to come see me again if you need to, yeah?"
"Yeah. Thanks again Kernel." Mateo smiles at her and seems to be a man with an idea as he leaves the house leaving Kernel to sip her tea in peace wondering of misfortune and luck.
