Onyx yawned loudly as she woke, stretching and rubbing her eyes as she tried to rid her eyes of the sleep that had gathered, she looked around her; tiredly taking in her surroundings; she cocked her head to the side curiously before shaikng her head when she noticed that Cato had fallen back asleep while leaning against a tree, his neck was bent at an angle which couldn't have been comfortable for him especially when he woke up.
Looking around, she noticed that everyone was slowly waking up as well, Marvel was barely awake sitting at the edge of their clearing acting as their last watch guard for that evening, it was usually Marvel who took watch last since he was an early riser and the others slept like the dead.
Climbing up from the floor with a groan, Onyx began stretching so that the joints and bones in her back and neck clicked back into place, sleeping on the floor wasn't comfortable at all but it was much better than a fitful danger filled sleep within the arena that they had all gotten a lucky escape from.
Hearing the groan coming from inside the camp jolts Marvel awake as he watches his little sister climb up from the floor tiredly, he smiles at her tiredly before he also climbs up from the floor and does his usual post-wake up check over of Onyx and then the others who were all still asleep.
"You alright?" Marvel asked her tiredly as he followed her lead and rubbed the sleep from his eyes to wake himself up more before pulling her into a light hug when she was in arms length, Onyx smiled as he hugged her and closed her eyes at embrace, unlike before the reaping, she had started getting more physical touches from people she started to care about and she liked it but missed her father's hugs.
"Sleepy" she answered him tiredly as she hesitantly pulled away from him with a small light smile.
Frowning lightly at her answer, Marvel runs his hand through her hair only to flinch a little when he caught hs fingers in the knots that had formed in her hair; he pulled away carefully so that he didn't hurt her. "You didn't get much sleep did you?"
The answer was plain to see but Onyx shrugged anyway before shaking her head, she ran her fingers through her hair and decided that maybe she would ask Glimmer for help before the older girl could take over.
"Can you wake Rue, Rissa, Coral, Link and Thresh up?" Marvel asked her as they both looked around at their small group of friends who were still fast asleep, they needed to keep going to try and hopefully make it to civilisation sooner than later.
Cocking her head to the side lightly at the list of people that she was being sent to wake up, she was unsure about the fact that she was waking those who weren't the careers other than Coral and Link. "Are you waking Cato up?"
The idea didn't sound too good to the boy from One, he knew that his friend was dangerous, but he also knew that last night wasn't Cato's fault because of the night terrors that plagued whoever had killed another tribute in the games; he glanced over at his friend before snorting at the way the boy had managed to fall asleep.
"I don't know yet" His friends reaction last night was a little terrifying to the older boy, it was like when they were back in the arena and he was worried about every passing moment when Cato was a threat to his ongoing survival; but it wasn't just his survival he worried about now, he was scared for the relationship that was forming between his new little sister and his best friend.
"I'll wake him" Onyx decided as she patted him on the arm lightly in reassurance before moving away from him before he could protest like she knew he would, she bypassed the ones that Marvel originally asked her to wake before heading towards the sleeping danger.
Onyx sent a small reassuring smile over her shoulder at him as she moved over to the sleeping Cato, she would wake the other four up after she had been able to wake up Cato because that way they would miss it if the older boy once again acted violently.
As she reached the older boy, she couldn't help but smile a little at how peaceful he looked without being upset by nightmares and terror; she takes a small mental picture of the moment before kneeling down beside him and presses her hand gently on his shoulder.
She takes a deep breath before shaking his shoulder lightly, this was either going to go wrong or she'd be able to wake him without any trouble from him. "Cato"
As her voices begins to get to a level of sound that could be heard properly in his dreams, Cato jolted awake and looked around him frantically, his hands automatically going to the sword that was laying on the ground next to him but as soon as he noticed Onyx beside him, he calmed down and scowled at her and then over at Marvel who was watching the both of them cautiously.
"Why the hell did you let her wake me after what happened last night?" Cato demanded angrily at Marvel before moving his scowl over to Onyx, he climbed up from the floor and stormed past her over to the edge of the fire pit.
Onyx frowned at the floor and then climbed up fom where she had knelt to wake the boy, thankfully she didn't need to wake up the others since Cato's anger had woken everyone else up.
Huffing out in annoyance at the turn of events, Onyx marched away from where she stood and went to her pack before grabbing it, and the bow she had been working on, and leaving the rest of them behind as she continued on the path that they had been walking for a week solid.
She didn't want to deal with Cato and his unresolved anger today, she also didn't want to have looks of pity from the others either, none of them wanted to deal with Cato and his anger so she did and now she was facing the brunt of the negativity and she hated it.
"Onyx hold it!" Marvel shouted after her startled as she walked further than they could see her, he quickly grabbed his own items and began moving to catch up with her.
Rolling her eyes at his overreactions, the young girl kept moving forward towards what looked like an opening in the forest that had kept the safe for a week; she was annoyed at everyone this morning, even though the only people she had talked to properly was Marvel and Cato, she didn't know if the others would annoy her even more and she really needed sleep, otherwise she would probably say something she would regret.
"Onyx I said stop!" Marvel shouted angrily at his little sister as he started to pick up the pace, followed groggily by the others who weren't fully aware of what was happening, he couldn't believe how stupid she was being, walking off on her own.
Cato was right beside Marvel in his thoughts of annoyance as well as his pace to try and reach the girl before she could further away from them and the safety that they could provide with her.
"Onyx get back here!" Cato growled out in annoyance and worry for the young girl who was being the most stubborn person ever at the moment, he knew that they were all going to have to deal with her stubbornness during the journey but he didn't really want to have to deal with it half asleep.
"Clove why isn't Onyx listening to Cato or Marvel?" Rue yawned from Thresh's arms as they tried to keep up with the three arguing tributes.
Marvel growls as he notices Onyx picking up the pace to get away from thr group "It's because she's being a brat Rue"
Onyx lets out a noise of annoyance as she spins on her heel to face her surrogate older brother and his friend, the group slowing to a stop as they realised that the one they were following had finally paused in her storming off; she glares at the two older boys in anger.
Opening her mouth to let out an angry rant aimed at the boys for their overprotective nature and stubborness but is interrupted by an almighty crack that echoed throughout the forest.
