~Twiff Opal~
"Why are we moving?"Rebel asks as we grab our things off the ground.
"We should move every day, we don't know if anyone is following us." I say as I sling my bag over my shoulders. I have noticed that the games have already started to affect Rebel. He's been questioning everything I say and everything Oriana and I do.
"Fine lets move then. We'll just be tired when we meet up with some tributes." Rebel grunts.
"Calm down!" Oriana yells. "Rebel it's a majority solution, Twiff and I both want to leave you can stay if you want." Rebel groans and grabs his things.
"Come on." I command as I brush past them and make my way down the dimly lit hallway. I grip my daggers in my hands as we hurry down the hall towards the unknown. My eyes dart all over the place looking for any sign of a tribute. We haven't gotten anything from sponsors yet so we doubt that we actually have any. The good thing is that if we did have sponsors we get all the money from Orianas District and all the money from mine. The thing that we have discussed the most is killing. To gain more sponsors we have to kill. But how would we get more money? A clean kill or from something gruesome? It's hard to know. When the time comes we will kill. We don't want to but we will have to.
"Twiff hallway up ahead." Oriana states. I hear her string an arrow and cock it. I tighten my grip on my daggers and trot down the hallway quietly. I reach the unknown hallway and peek around the corner ever so slightly. Smoke blocks my view of what lies beyond, maybe this is where we heard the explosion come from. I turn back to my friends and wave at them signaling the "all clear".
"There's lots of smoke I can't see a damn thing down that hall." I say. Oriana huffs and looks at me.
"We should probably go down there and see if there is, in fact, anyone there."
Rebel closes his eyes and breaths deeply. "I agree with Oriana, but there is a chance we could get hurt bad. Is it worth it?" I close my eyes and think back at what has happend to us so far in this arena.
Nothing.
"Let's go." I growl.
~Oriana Dupree~
Twiff takes off running down the hall with rebel at her tail. I'm angry, we should take this slowly. There could be tributes down there and they are risking they're lives doing something stupid. I can only hope that I don't get caught up in some skirmish. I'm probably on most of the tributes most wanted list because of my 12 in training, but I don't see how I got it. I only shot arrows.
Twiff comes to a halt and holds up her hand.
"What is it?" Rebel asks.
"I can see Tributes."
"Who?" I ask.
"I think it may be the careers. It's hard to tell, I can't hear them or see them properly." Twiff replies. She starts to move. We move inch my inch for what seems like hours until we hear a voice.
"Fel it'll be all right. Just keep that eye closed, I'm not a doctor but it may help." I hear a young girls voice say. Twiff's body cringes.
"That's Triella. She must be with Felicit from District Seven, I didn't think she was with them." Twiff explains. I grab my bow and aim my arrow tip at the young girls neck. I could end her right here but she seems very afraid. I don't think I want to kill her. Her head turns toward us and it cocks to the left.
"Help me, just for a moment please. All my allies are hurt. I promise it wont attack." She says. I stand up from my crouching position and trot over to them. I hear hints of fear rising into my allies voices.
Triella is crouched on the ground where Zanther lays in a bloodied heap. His back has a huge cut in it, he seems to be bleeding dry. I look to where Felicit is sitting with her eyes closed. Blood is pouring down her face from one of her eyes, it'll be useless now. Zanthers District partner is slumped against one of the wall dead to the world.
"What do I do to help them?" She asks us. I look her in the eyes and whisper.
"Whatever we can."
Capitol Questions of the Day!
1. Why do you think Oriana and her allies are going to help Triella and her allies?
2. Will this end up as a battle?
3. Do you think Zanther will die?
4. Is Kyla dead or just knocked out?
