Maximus Kingsley,42, District 4 Victor
I take a swig from my bottle of booze as I sit in this monitoring room with most of the other mentors who still have tributes in the arena. The mentors from district 1 left recently since their only other tribute died yesterday, not that I gave a shit. All I cared about was all of the funds being sent to me to send Barbel and Vendetta some sponsors. I was keeping a vast majority of this money, but every now and then I'll send a sponsor down there just to show I was 'doing my job'.
I doubt Maria gave a shit. She's been locked in her room ever since the start of the games. I figure she must've still been recovering from a hangover or something, that kid almost drunk as much as me. I take another swig of my bottle and realize it's empty so I suck my teeth and throw the empty bottle on the floor, with shards of the glass spreading everywhere.
Some of the mentors look at me but I only get up from my seat and leave. I'm done here for today, I'll have another beer and sit back. I'm almost certain our district will have a victor this year so I'll do the bare minimum.
The elevator arrives on my floor and I enter the the dorm, to be met by peace and quiet once again. You know what? This Maria has been a little too fucking quiet, did she drink her self to death or something?
"Hey Maria! What the hell you doing in here!?" I bang on her door but get no response. I turn the knob but it's locked and start banging on the door again.
"You stupid fucking drunk! How about you do your damn job, you little wimp!" I bark through the door but once again get no answer.
I suck my teeth again and lean my head against the door and there's a very faint stench coming through the door. It's definitely something I smelt before too.
"Maria!?" I call once more and after she doesn't answer yet again, I burst through the door.
The stench is a lot stronger now and my nose curls, what in the hell?
I look around the room and nothing looks out of the ordinary at first glance. The bed is neatly made up but I look on the floor and see what looks like a blood stain.
My nose is still curled but I follow the stench and it leads me to the locked restroom. I already know know where this fucking shit is going so I take a deep breath and burst through the door and the smell is so awful that i nearly vomit.
Dirty blood soaked sheets are thrown on the bathroom floor, I see Maria's decomposing body laying in the bathtub and it looks like numerous stabs wounds are over her body, holy fucking shit!
I immediately leave the restroom, shut the door and try to process everything. That freaking Vendetta! She murdered her! She must've killed her the night before the games, tried to clean up the scene as best as she could and hid the body and evidence in the restroom!
That little bitch played it off well too. I asked the following morning where Maria was and Vendetta immediately answered saying Maria wasn't feeling well. I won't miss Maria, but I can't stand sneaky little bastards like Vendetta!
I have to call this in though, and I will make absolutely sure she dies in that arena even if it's the last thing I do!
Vendetta McClain,18, District 4 female
It's pouring down raining and I slowly walk through it already drenched and dragging my war hammer across the ground. It's been hours since Annabelle died and I haven't returned to the base yet. Xavarion killed her and I've been trying to track him down ever since to no avail.
She wasn't friendly, I didn't even like her but she was still my ally. Just seeing her laying there dead…it reminded me of Maria, the immediate aftermath of it all. My heart rapidly beating while I dragged her body into the bathroom as she left a massive trail of blood behind. Changing her bed sheets and scrubbing the floor to the best of my ability before locking the door and just pretending nothing happened. I knew it was only a matter of time before she was found…she probably already was and because of that, I doubt they'd let me win.
It didn't matter to me though, I accomplished what I set out to do, it didn't feel that way, but I did. After not being able to find Xavarion, I decided to start heading back to the base. I know the rest of my allies will have a million questions for me, but there wasn't much to say, she died before I can get to her. Simple as that.
I continue walking through this downpour of rain only gazing at the ground, but I'm suddenly grabbed and slammed against the wall of some kind of shop. I don't even have the strength to fight back and look up in the furious face of the person pressing me against the wall, Barbel.
"Where the hell were you? What the hell happened?" he barks.
"Xavarion…he killed her." I mumble and he looks at me for a moment but growls in anger as he tigthens his grip.
"I told the both of you to stay away from him didn't i? So how the hell did he manage to kill one of you!?" He yells but I begin trying to overpower him and he struggles back but I manage to shove him off of me and he slips on the ground but manages to catch his balance and continues glaring me.
"Put your hands on me like that again and you'll regret it!" I stand across from him face to face but he only continues glaring me as his hands begin trembling.
"Now for your information, me and Annabelle were together. While I was checking out the library we were in though, she decided to leave without me so I found a map and checked the most sensible area tributes will be hiding at. She was dead before I reached her and Xavarion attacked me and ran off." I explain.
"Yeah? So why did it take you so long to come back to the base?" he shouts.
"Because I was looking for him, I would've dragged him all the way back here if I had to." I counter and he holds his hand stopping it from trembling.
"A map, you said you have a map?" he asks.
"Yes." i show him the rolled up drenched map and he snatches it out of my mind.
"Where was the last place you seen him at?" Barbel quickly asks looking at the map.
"He was hiding out in the factory. Annabelle found him there, he killed her and then took off. I spent these last hours trying to find him, but couldn't." I explain and he looks at the map before stuffing it in his pocket.
"Well he's here somewhere and I am going to find him!" He balls his fists and begins heading back to the clinic. I take a deep breath and just follow behind him after.
Rylee Turbin,16, District 6 female
"Here you go, Lucy." Calla says to the cub as she holds a handful of berries near it's mouth. It sniffs the berries for a moment and proceeds to gobble them down.
I didn't trust this cub at all. Calla seemed to be getting close to 'her' but why else would they put a cub mutt in the arena?
We managed to find a small body of water where Calla was able to fix up her poisons and coat our weapons with it. I felt a lot safer now but I'm still suspicious of this little cub. Calla sits on the ground, pets 'Lucy' and i examine my knife.
"S-so how potent d-do you think this'll be?" I ask Calla.
"It'll kill someone within two days, so I'll say pretty potent." She answers still rubbing Lucy but we hear a twig snap and quickly turn our heads while I raise my knife.
"Shit…" I hear a guy curse and he peeks out from behind a tree while holding his hands up.
"Ok ladies relax, me and the little sis are just passing through." Fall keeps his hands up and me and Calla just glance at him.
His sister Winter is covered in blood and follows behind him.
"Hi, we mean you harm!" Winter states and my eyes widen as I prepare to rush her.
"Whoa! Whoa! She meant we mean you no harm!" Fall quickly corrects her.
"Y-yeah that's what I meant sorry." Winter scratches her head seeming embarrassed.
"Yeah excuse her, her brain likes to crash on her whenever it feels like it, anyways good luck out here!" Fall waves as him and Winter walks by us and me and Calla only glance at each other while Lucy is growling at them.
"Aren't we suppose to be killing them?" Calla mumbles to me but I don't know how to respond, I mean I know we're in the arena and all but they seem nice and just wanted to pass through…
We suddenly hear laughing noises though causing Fall and Winter to stop in their tracks.
"Awww crap, not again…" Fall mumbles.
"What is that?" Calla quickly asks.
"Uh you two wanna make a truce, just for now?" Fall suggests and the laughing noises can be heard all around us now, I look around starting to panic a bit but I can't see anything.
"W-whats going on?" I shout way louder than I iintended.
"It's these little fucking things with big noses-" Fall begins but this small being with leaves covering it's body suddenly leaps at Fall and he quickly stabs it in the head with his knife.
"What the-" I hear Calla curse but more of these beings start emerging and charging at us with sharpened sticks.
Lucy lets out a growl, starts mauling one of them and Fall kicks one in the face. One rushes at me and I gasp aloud but Calla stabs it with her knife and I watch it crumble to the ground as a green bodily fluid begins oozing out of it's wound. Another one rushes at me and I swipe my knife at it, it lets out a pained cry and I kick it away before it crashes into a tree and goes limp.
At this point, they're completely surrounding us and me and the others pretty much have our backs against each other, trying to cover all areas. The beings form a circle around us and they're laughing, jumping and dancing around us and all I can do is look at them in shock, what the hell are these?
In unison they all raise their arms in the air and fire begins emitting from their hands. They then laugh once more before launching small fire balls at us and we're just all scrambling around trying to dodge all of it. Lucy tackles another one of these beings to the ground and mauls it, but more of them begins to gang up on Lucy and start stabbing her with their sharp sticks.
Calla is already busy trying to fight off three of them so I run to Lucy's aid and begin stabbing them one by one. I'm in a blind rage at this point, I remember how good I used to be with a knife and It turns out, I still have it in me.
Their numbers start dwindling down gradually and that's when they start retreating and jumping around while still laughing, but they're all running in one direction and l look around to see if any others are around but it's looking like they all left.
Everyone here is pretty winded and Lucy looks a bit hurt but she's still trying to stay strong.
"Lucy!" Calla kneels down next to Lucy. The cub has two stab wounds but I think she'll be ok.
"Phew that was quite the workout, you girls ok?" Fall pants.
"Yeah…guess our truce is over now." Calla states.
"Geez can we just catch our breath for a second? We'll be out of your hair in a moment." Fall assures her but an arrow suddenly lands in Winter's torso and I gasp aloud.
"What the hell, Winter!" Fall yells but Winter looks down at her torso where the arrow is sticking out of her and she looks back up at Fall and tries to say something but begins falling to the ground, Fall manages to catch her though.
"Winter! Winter!" Fall yells and I hear light footsteps nearby. Another one of those beings armed with a makeshift bow and arrows that look coated in something angrilly glares us and begins notching in another arrow. This is not like the other beings though, this one is noticeably bigger and the leaves on it's body are much more darker and older looking.
Lucy quickly rushes at this being, but it releases an arrow and it goes straight into her skull. I can only watch in horror as the poor little cub goes limp and falls to the ground.
"Lucy!" Calla cries out and I quickly rush towards this being but it sticks one of it's hands out and launches a ball of ice at me that quickly knocks me to the ground.
I'm disoriented for a moment and I can still hear Fall screaming Winter's name.
"Poison- it's poison…" I hear Winter mumble but I can't focus on that right now.
I stand back up and Calla is already racing towards it but it fire it's bow at her and she manages to stagger out of the way but it sticks out it's hand and fires more ice at her sending her to the ground.
I quickly aim my knife at it's head and throw it, the being is too distracted to notice though and it lands right into it's forehead.
It's still standing though and lets out a pained roar. Calla quickly tackles it to the ground though and screams, stabbing it in the torso over and over, green fluid spurting everywhere and continues this until it finally goes limp.
She's now panting with tears coming down her eyes as she looks at Lucy, poor little cub, I was starting to get used to her too.
Fall is still holding Winter in his arms and I see tears rolling down his eyes, things aren't looking good though…
"Fall I'm about to lose consciousness…" Winter mumbles.
"No! No you're not! You're not leaving me!" He cries.
"I don't want to…I don't. Fall, antitode…" she mumbles before her eyes close.
"Winter! Winter!" Falls yells, she's not responding but she is still breathing. It wouldn't surprise me if the same poison on those arrows was the one me and Calla coated her weapons with.
"She's still alive, not for long though…" Calla mumbles.
"She's poisoned, shit…shit! What am I going to do, what I am going to do!?" he begins panicking.
"Just relax." I try to calm him down.
"She's my fucking sister don't tell me to calm down!" he screams at me with tears running down his eyes.
"She said something about an antidote, you know how to make one?" Calla asks and he tries thinking.
"The leaves…yeah those leaves." He states and looks at us.
"I know what to look for!" he panics and prepares to pick her up.
"You shouldn't do that…" Calla suggests.
"Yeah well what other choice do I have!?" Fall snaps at her.
"We'll watch over her,ok?" she asks but Fall seems hesitant.
"How do I know I can trust you?" He questions.
"You'll both be dead right now if I wanted to kill you." She states and Fall balls his fist.
"Ok…ok fair enough, just please don't let anything happen to her ok? I'll be back as quickly as possible!" He assures us.
He looks at Winter again, mumbles something and runs off afterwards.
I guess we're on baby sitting duty for now.
Amos Walton,17, District 2 male
"You heard that?" I ask as I step on a dead leaf causing it to crunch. Victoria tightly holds onto her spear and looks ahead of her for a moment but nods.
"Yeah, it sounded like screaming, seemed pretty far though." she states.
"Well not like we got anything better to do, let's check it out." I tell her and she lets out a nod before we begin walking towards where the noise came from.
Annabelle died yesterday, I can't say I was surprised. That arrogance was going to catch up to her. Xavarion knocked her out cold in the bloodbath, yet she chose to pursue him and fight him again. He made sure to finish her off this time around though.
He's a smart guy, he knows how to stay hidden and he's obviously very capable as well.
Barbel stayed in today while Vladimir and Vendetta are scouting the town. Vendetta found a map yesterday and it looks like Barbel wanted to stay in so he can go over it and determine the best places that Xavarion can be hiding at.
He ordered everyone to not engage with him but I mean if Xavarion was to attack me then I will defend myself.
"It still feels weird, knowing Anabelle is dead…" Victoria mumbles.
"Yup, I was almost starting to get used to her." I admit.
"Yeah, good one." She mumbles.
"How are you though?" I ask.
"Better I guess. It's just starting to dawn on me. One of us are going to die, probably even both of us…does that scare you?" she asks.
"I try not to think about it much, but when I do yeah. It worries me. It's less about me dying though and more about just, letting everyone down that's counting on me, know what I mean?" I ask
"Kinda…I doubt my parents give a crap what happens to me but I have a bestfriend back at home, and it's her I'm fighting for." She states.
"That's good, you're a lot stronger when you have something to fight for, why wouldn't your parents care though?" I ask.
"They never wanted me doing this, you know like being a career. I only started because they told me not to. I'm a knucklehead if you haven't already figured that out. I was training and stuff just to piss them off but, I actually started to like it. Right after I volunteered, they didn't even come to visit me…" she laments.
"That's tough, I'm sorry to hear that." I state.
"All I can really do now is just keep pushing on right?" she does a faint smile but I can see how much pain she's in.
I start to answer but I feel something wrap around my leg and it immediately pulls me upside down..
"Whoa!" I blurt out.
"Amos!" I hear Victoria yell but my body slams against a tree and a sharpened branch on the tree pierces me through my torso as I grunt in pain, dammit!
I'm now upside down hanging from a tree and Victoria only looks at me in concern.
"Amos! You ok?" she asks.
"Been better." I grunt.
"I'm going to try and get you down from there!" Victoria answers me but I hear a female cackling and I see the very small girl from 3 poke her head out from the bushes.
"Already got a catch I see, I didn't expect one to stumble into it so quickly. Let alone a career!" she cackles.
"You little brat!" Victoria throws her spear but the small girl jumps out of the bushes dodging the spear and grabs it.
"Hmm nice weapon, now I'm pretty sure you got poked by that branch did you?" She looks up at me and grins.
"Victoria, take my sword!" I point to it on the ground but Zananova points the spear at me.
"Unless you want your friend here to resemble swiss cheese, I wouldn't take another step!" She cackles and Victoria only stays frozen in her tracks.
My life is in this little kid's hands, crap...
"Now you have a special toxin flowing through your blood, one that I just happened to brew up myself. There's no cure for it, well not one you muscleheads will be able to find anyways. Enjoy the time you have left though!" Zananova cackles.
"You fucking-" Victoria rushes at her but the small girl jumps into the field of bushes and scurries away.
"Victoria, just let her go, get me down from here!" I state.
"Right." she has some worry on her face but cuts the rope holding me until it snaps and I land on the ground. Dammit, am I actually poisoned?
"Amos!" Victoria holds her hand out and I grab onto it for her to help me up.
"Amos you ok?" She asks and I lift up my shirt to see small puncture that already looks like it's starting to swell.
"Yeah, that kid is most likely bluffing." I state and she hands me my sword.
"Just to make sure, we should head back to the base and get it treated." She suggests.
"Yeah…alright." I agree with her and I look up at the sky for a moment. If this it, I would've never imagined going out this way…
Fall Baromet,17, District 9 male
"Got it, got it!" I tell myself as I pick off some leaves that I'll need to complete the antidote. I have everything I need now, I just need to brew it up, hopefully Winter will have enough strength to drink this down.
I need to create a fire though, I might as well just do it here. I'm not nearly as skilled as Winter at this sort of stuff, but I know some of the basics. We grew up on nature afterall, so it only makes sense.
It doesn't take me long to start the fire, and after putting the leaves in the canteen of water, I sit it over the fire so it can brew.
My heart just cannot stop pounding, every second that goes by, it just feels like I'll be a second too late once I get back over there, I need to hurry this up.
After waiting a couple of minutes for the brew to finish I pull it off from the fire and put it out. It's probably not completely done yet, but this'll do. After attaching the canteen to my belt I jump up to my feet and prepare to make a run for it but a hand quickly bursts from the ground and grabs my foot.
"What the hell!" I curse and begin slicing the hand over and over until it releases my foot. More hands however begin rising from the dirt though and I only gasp trying to run away but I slam headfirst into a tree since I was too busy looking at these hands and it stuns me, knocking me to the ground momentarily.
"Shit,shit." I groan in pain trying to make my way back to my feet and I hear low moans with slow footsteps coming towards me. I manage to roll back to my feet and that's when I see what looks like a naked grey skinned human with sharp nails who looks badly malnourished moaning and plodding towards me. He's slow though, I can out run him but I see others starting to surround me and I look around for a moment, trying to secure an escape route.
One of these things swipes at me but I dodge it and stab it in the neck watching as it falls to the ground. I duck under another swipe from these things and stab it in the body before pushing it to the ground. I prepare to run away but another one of these things plods towards me and slashes me across the arm with it's claws. I grunt in pain and push it towards the ground before running off before even more of them show up.
I look at my arm and see three slashes as blood is starting to run down it but that doesn't concern me right now, I need to get to Winter! I run nonstop trying to ignore just how much pain this scratch is causing, I didn't think it'd hurt this much honestly, but I continue running and make it to Winter and the others, gasping for air.
"You're bleeding…" Calla states.
"It's nothing." I quickly say and sit next to Winter who's resting against the tree still looking unconscious.
"Winter…hey Winter?" I calmly say and she lets out a weak groan. This must be real fast acting poison.
"Hey Winter. I need you to drink this, c'mon." I tell her putting the canteen next to her mouth and she starts taking weak sips of it.
"Good, just a few more sips and you'll be fine." I assure her and she takes a few more before I sit the canteen down and rest her head on my lap, taking a deep breath.
"I owe you guys so much, thank you." I pant and Rylee nods but Calla has a serious look on her face.
"I've lost people close to me, I wouldn't want my worst enemy to feel that kind of pain, we may have to fight if we see each other again though, take care." Calla gives her farewell and they walk away afterwards.
I take another deep breath as Winter rests on my lap and I look at my arm again but it looks like pus is starting to ooze out of it already and the pain is almost unbearable, dammit, I just hope this isn't anything serious.
Lykrie Ellisman,15, District 7 female
My eyes slowly open into a dim light and I close my eyes again, letting out a yawn before opening my eyes again. A dim light, That doesn't look familiar. I open my eyes a little wider and when i see I'm tucked in a comfortable bed, that's when I sit up. Where am i? I look around the room seeing the white walls with the dim light flickering over it.
"Thomas? Mercedes?" I call but I get no answer and that's when the door starts to slowly creak open.
"Hello?" I call but get no asnwer.
The door then creaks open more before a shadowly figure with red eyes walks in. It's eyes pulse as it begins staring at me.
"Who are you? Where am i?" I ask this thing? It however only walks back out of the room leaving the door wide open. I quickly get out of the bed and begin following it though. After exiting the room, I realize I'm…home. I'm home and I can hear laughing downstairs. it sounds like my parents and brother but aren't they…
I hesitantly walk down the stairs and that's when I see my parents and brother laughing together eating dinner.
"Hey look who's finally awake!" my father happily greets me.
"Haha it's about time that little punk woke up!" my brother laughs.
"Good evening my love, you had a good sleep?" my mom smiles.
"I'm ok, how long was I asleep?" I ask.
"Some hours, you had a long day at work so it's understandable you slept for so long!" she continues.
Was this all a dream? Did I dream about my parents dying, about me in the arena?
"Where's Avè?" I ask and everyone at the table laughs.
"Did you forget she works overnights?" my father laughs.
"Oh I must've forgotten." I mumble.
"Why don't you make a plate? Mom made your favorite, curry!" my brother Jordan speaks with his mouth full.
"Yeah, ok." I answer and proceed to add some curry to my plate and taste it, yeah this is mom's curry alright.
My family continues to chatter around me and I gradually eat my food but my mom looks over at me.
"You're a lot more quiet than usual dear, something on your mind?" she asks.
"I uh, I had a dream well a nightmare really. It was that you guys died…you were all executed right in the middle of the street. I lived with Avè after but not long after that, I volunteered for the hunger games." I explain and they look at each other for a moment before laughing hysterically.
"Oh my goodness, good one Lykrie, but what if I told you, that's actually what happened?" He speaks in a darker tone and suddenly lashes at me with a knife but I use my plate to block the strike and kick a chair into him as he tries to stand but gets knocked down.
I stand up from the table and back up but my mom and Jordan grabs a knife from the table and begin walking towards me.
"What are you guys doing?" I ask still backing up.
"We're going to kill you of course dear, don't you want to be with us?" My mom smiles and Jordan tries to tackle me but I stagger out of the way and run into the kitchen.
"Cut her off on the other side!" I hear my mom demand.
I grab a pan off of the stove and I can hear my mom behind me and my father tries to cut me off on the other end but I whack him in the face with the pan and duck under my moms strike before kicking her into the fridge. I run out of the kitchen though and Jordan tackles me, slams me through the dinner table and pain shoots through my body as I groan in pain.
"Stupid little sister! How dare you hit mom and dad!" he yells and tries to strangle me but I kick him in the torso and scramble to my feet. My mom tries to charge at me but I duck under her and race up the stairs with them chasing behind me. I quickly run into my room and lock the door but they're already banging on the door and it's on the verge of being knocked down.
I figure I can try and escape from my window and I look out the window and see that same shadowy figure with red eyes glaring me from my porch, what is thing? Am i…trapped in a nightmare?
I try to open my window but it doesn't budge, I even try breaking it but to no avail and that's when my family bursts through the door. I grab my lamp and it at them but Jordan quickly tackles me to the bed and I try wrestling him but he quickly overpowers me and snaps my arm causing me to scream in pain.
My mother and father are only smiling and holding hands while Jordan starts strangling me and I try fighting it off with my one arm but it's no use. I feel the life being choked out of me and my vision starts to blur.
"Look at our little girl, ready to join us!" my father cackles.
"It's so beautiful isn't it!" I hear my mom exclaim.
The last bit of oxygen is squeezed out of me and the last thing I see is the pulsing red eyes of this shadow…
Mercedes Swift,17, District 8 female
A loud cannon fire offs and my eyes shoot open. Oh someone else died, now I'm even closer to returning home to my daddy and all of the amazing gifts he bought for me! I was pretty sad to see that Annabelle died. We understood each other and we were both pretty and rich, but if I wanted to win then she would've had to die anyways. I'm still a bit sad but I'll get better. I look over at Thomas and Lykrie but they both appear to be asleep and I sigh, this is so boring, like I want to go shopping! Why couldn't they put us in a populated city with malls that rich and pretty people like me belong in!?
Lykrie is finally not snoring for once and that's such a relief like oh my gawd her snoring is so annoying! I start humming a tune cause I'm so bored and I pull out a candy bar and begin eating.
"Oh what did you say your name was? Oh sorry you just taste so good!" I say to the candy bar before gobbling it down and the phone starts ringing. Thomas immediately jumps up though and has a nervous look on his face.
"Don't answer!" he instructs me.
"Oh my gawd but why?" I whine.
"Just don't answer it!" he raises his voice and looks over at Lyrkie who's still silently sleeping. Almost too silent, like is she even breathing?
"We might need to wake her up." Thomas suggests.
"That sounds like a lot of work though! You do it by yourself!" I whine and pull out another candy bar but the phone continues ringing and it's getting like so annoying!
"Goodness you're just beyond useless." Thomas grumbles.
"You're eating very well because of me! How about you show some appreciation, I'm rich, pretty and don't have to be nice to you!" I fire back at him but he gives me a glare and crawls over to Lykrie.
"Lykrie." He calls but she obviously doesn't answer.
"Lykrie!" Thomas says louder as he taps her shoulder but still no answer.
"Lykrie?" Thomas calls again but this time in a concerned tone.
"Leave her alone! She's trying to sleep! Gosh you're such a rude nasty man!" I bark.
"SHUT UP!" Thomas yells at me and I only give him a shocked look.
"Lykrie! Lykrie!" he shakes her but she still doesn't respond.
"Throw some water on her, that'll wake her up!" I state but Thomas ignores me and begins feeling her wrist.
"What are you doing?" I ask.
"She has no pulse, she's-she's not breathing!" He panics.
"What?" I question and walk over to them but he's right, she isn't breathing.
"No…no." he mumbles and he gives me an angry look.
"What happened? What did you do!? What did you do to her!?" He shouts.
"W-what! I-I didn't do anything! I was sleeping and a loud cannon woke me up!" I protest but he doesn't seem fully convinced.
"She's dead…we were the only other two here so what did you do?" He shouts.
"Thomas i-i I really didn't do anything!" I protest but he looks back at her and starts examining her body.
"She's still warm…this just hapoened." he mumbles.
"Maybe she had a heart condition or something?" I suggest but he ignores me and lifts up her arm.
"Her arm, it's broken." He states.
"What?" I ask.
"We were all sleeping, could someone have snuck in here?" he asks.
"N-no surely we would've heard a struggle right?" I respond.
"Somethings not adding up here." he mumbles and starts looking at her neck.
"There's bruising around her neck, like someone strangled her." He adds.
"it wasn't me!" I protest again.
"Damn…Lykrie." Thomas gazes at the floor for a moment.
"I, I don't understand what could've happened. If someone sneaked in, we would've heard it right?" I ask.
"I don't know...i don't know whats going on anymore." Thomas wipes his eyes, he's actually crying? They must've been like a lot closer than I intially thought.
"Thomas…" a voice suddenly sounds from the phone as it stops ringing and we both gasp before looking at it.
"Are you ready to die?" The voice sounds and I hear a loud bang in the back of the station causing me to jump.
"Oh my gawd! He's in here! We have to go!" I tell Thomas.
"Go then…" Thomas grabs a baton stick.
"What, you're not coming?" I ask.
"No…I'm going to avenge Lykrie." he sniffs.
"Well uhmm, ok. Incase you survive I'll leave these bags here for you, I'll be getting more anyways." I state and run towards the door beginning to unbarricade it.
I don't know what's going on, but I need to get out of here.
I hear another bang followed by Thomas letting out an angry yell but I quickly run through the door and leave him there, I just hope he survives.
15th place-Lykrie Ellisman-Killed by Nightmare: Lykrie I'll be honest, you were one of the most difficult characters for me to write. You were a very complex character and even though i got more comfortable writing you and showing your layers, i just never felt i fully grasped you. Maybe it's just all in my head, but i feel i could've done alot better. Anyways Lykrie, you were always strong, level headed and you inspired Thomas to become a braver person for better and worse. You were initially supposed to die in the bloodbath, but i became intrigued by this unlikely alliance between you and Thomas and decided to keep you around for longer. Rest in peace Lykrie!
This concludes day 4. As you can see, alot happened and like i said before the action is only going to be picking up from here. Day 5 will pick up right where we left off since it's the start of a new day. Thank you all for your reviews and it really does mean so much to me! See you all soon, till next time!
