Day 2
Declan Callen 18, District 9 Male
I couldn't sleep all night.
Not that I was meant to I was on watch duty. We found this little store in one of the towns, it was obvious we went across the medieval town since there were castles and war zones but we knew if we both slept we would be sitting ducks.
I knew Aurelia needed it more then me, not that she slept she acted like she did but every time I moved she would move slightly, like she was scared I was going to hurt her in her sleep.
Like I was going Kill her in her sleep.
What type of person does she think I am.
She doesn't trust me and it hurts, She should trust me I'm her brother yet at the same time I haven't been brother of the year, I haven't really been a brother at all.
Every time I feel like we are connecting and that we are making progress I panic and I say something that upsets her or I take something she does or says the wrong way and have a go at her.
Being an outlaw you are around boys like you, you have to be cruel, you have to be heartless, they understood, they didn't take it to heart and even if she tries to hide it, I know it stabs her in the heart what I say, I know it hurts her.
If we found each other back in nine, it would have been so much easier because we would have had time, we wouldn't have had 16 other tributes wanting us dead so they could live, and we wouldn't have gone in knowing one or both of us will die and that is the reality both of us can't live, one of us will need to die.
And I'm not ready to die yet after everything I did to survive, I'm not ready to die, but Aurelia makes it hard, she doesn't try to guilt trip me instead it's the opposite yet she doesn't ask me to die for her that makes me want to protect her more.
After reading what those boys did to her I wanted to torture them to make them suffer, I blamed her yet I would rather go through what I have than her, she has been broken I haven't yet, otherwise I would be a completely different person.
I have no redeeming qualities even the capital know I'm unstable, that I can become a killer, the second Aurelia was kidnapped. I changed everything started to go downhill, the outlaws moulded me to be this person.
Yet that could help me live but with every second that passes, it gets harder yet in the bloodbath my first thought was to get supplies, to help myself being a outlaw even if we are like brothers at the end of the day it's every man for themselves.
It wasn't until I grabbed a hammer, that it hit me I hadn't seen my sister, I grabbed her a weapon almost hoping she would get a bag but she didn't, it doesn't matter.
She was sponsored a backpack yesterday and I was angry at her because I wanted her to pull her weight but at the same time I knew she isn't strong enough. I just stand up as she flinches again, I just go to the window and look outside.
I'm tired I should have just woke her up since I was being generous to let her sleep but I can't blame her.
I wouldn't trust myself either I have done things, I don't even realise I have been doing and now without the medication the anger is always there, the hate hatred is always there.
It is not directed at one person but I wanted to unleash in the bloodbath. I wanted to kill someone, I wanted to kill that dork from one because even if he is a fucking dork, I have seen kids like him on the streets.
We have kids like him in the outlaws they can grow and become fighters, and winners. I wanted to take the chance and get rid of him because an underdog can always win but I knew the consequences if Levin found out, he would be going for my sister, not me, and that kid is career-trained he could have beaten me. I'm not ready to die yet because I want to fix things with Aurelia I just don't know how.
It's hard to even tell the time here Deep down I was hoping the sun would come out so I can at least know if it is daytime. I tried to read the map last night but it was too difficult so I ripped it anger, I did that in another room, so Aurelia isn't going to be happy with me I tried to hope I could find another map in here but this is a medical store and there isn't even any medicine so it looks like we need to go into the maze blind.
Things like that these decisions are decisions I make when I'm under pressure, when I feel stressed, when I feel annoyed and now I could have impacted us.
"Any cannons?" Aurelia mumbles sitting up
"Like you wouldn't have heard you didn't sleep, you could have told me, I needed the rest too," I say and again the defence mechanism.
"You didn't let me" she mumbles
"Blame me as usual" I shrug
"I tried okay but even you would struggle to sleep in these games, Every I heard a noise I got scared you wouldn't understand, you don't have people directly targeting you," she says
"Whoever targets you, targets me," I shrug
"I'm sorry," she says
"It's okay, I understand being here it's already rattling me, anyone can walk through that door any second and slaughter both of us, and it will be hard to run," I say
"What would you do" she says, I just stare at her.
"Fight them, protect you, I can't lose you, not yet" I say.
Not ever but I don't tell her that the more time we are together the more I don't want her to die. I want to die for her but at the same time I can't, it's like my mind is in two places. I hate her but love her at the same time. I hate her for leaving me even though she didn't have a choice, I hate her for not leaving the outsiders when she could have tried yet I know, none of this was her fault, she would have never wanted to have her childhood snatched away, never wanted to be treated like the way she was, I knew how cruel outlaws were we all young men who hated society and were forced to be outcasts. The outsiders were no different and if you had a pretty little girl as your prisoner I know what my boys would have done hell she is lucky my boys didn't have her.
Even when I touch her she flinches like she is worried I'm going to bash her or rip her clothes off, it breaks my heart yet I don't know how to show her sympathy or comfort her because it makes me vulnerable. Xander tells me to get over myself and grow a heart, and if the ice prince can be kind and caring, so should I.
He hasn't been kind and caring to me but I saw him around my sister, hell he spent more time with her than me I can't blame him I wasn't the nicest to him either.
"When can you lose me final 12, 10," she says
"If I wanted you dead Aurelia, I wouldn't have saved you" I say
"I don't know what he wants with me, it scares me" she says
"I don't know either but we sure aren't going to find out, how do you even kill someone like that?" I say
"You don't you, let them make the choice for you," she says.
A part of me wants to go out hunting, wants to kill, but I can't tell her that, she already doesn't trust me, she said that to my face.
I should be concerned she had her weapon on her belt the entire night, I made sure not to give her any knives not that I wanted to make her weaker but again I was worried, I'm her biggest weakness, I'm the one who can easily hold her back, if she was smart she would kill me.
But that's the thing she is smart, she just has too much of a heart, a heart that can get her killed. Unlike me, I don't have a heart, I don't have a soul, it's like I am a void but Aurelia she is starting to bring something out on me.
"Like kill themselves," I say
"Harley said I'm part of his end game, it means they don't plan to win. I just need to make sure he doesn't find me before that, it scares me, it really does but looking at the map last night, the arena is big enough to hide from him. I think we should try to move to the furthest point, put ground on the other tributes," she says
"What, so we just run, but then they will get sick of us, we can't just hide, it will be stupid," I say
"We have a few days," she says
"If you want to go hide, go hide but I'm not going to sit around waiting to be killed, I'm not a coward like you" I yell she just flinches.
"I didn't mean that," I say when I see the hurt on her face.
"You don't mean a lot of things don't you, and I didn't mean, hide but this is the closest town to where we started, the twos, the fours, even the ones, they are going to hunt the towns first if we go to the furthest town it gives us time but we can moving, keep going through the mazes," she says
"I feel like we should find somewhere safe and just hide out for a day," I say backtracking on my previous decision.
"I thought you didn't want to hide," she says
"I changed my mind you are right," I say.
I keep flip-flopping I need to let her take the lead even if she doesn't want to, even if I want to be the leader, if we just keep arguing or more of me arguing and flip-flopping, we will both be sitting ducks.
"I saw a good place on the map, can I have that back quickly," she says
I just walk over to her biting my lip when I hand her several pieces of ripped paper. I expect her to scream at me but she doesn't I can seem disappointed.
"Luckily I drew the map yesterday," she says, nodding at me and pulling out a small notebook, it's a different book to her journal, but I have seen her write in it.
"Is that one of your tokens?" I ask
"I snuck it in, I already had three," she says.
She has the black band, a black string and a charm but I haven't seen the other token. I pretty much have the same and the little straw man who I just pull out.
"Do you have one of these?" I say, she just pulls a straw girl from her pocket.
"When I was kidnapped, the outsiders stole all my stuff, it was to keep me happy since I was a panicked 6-year-old girl, when I got older I wanted it all burned but not this," she says
"I remember mum got even more upset because someone broke into your room," I say
"This isn't as good as the actual map but there is a clear path, just try to be careful with things okay," she says
I just nod even if I am close to snapping, she doesn't have the right to tell me how to act because I'm the older brother, but she is right. I can get us both killed, we both collect all our belongings.
She gently opens the door as I just knock into her ready to go out.
"Sorry I was just making sure the coast was clear" she says
"Oh yeah that's probably smart" I mumble.
She just looks at me biting her lip, and we start to walk towards the maze, she doesn't even look at her book again, it's like it's all stamped in her head, it is impressive how she can memorise things. I can barely memorise how to count to twenty, I just grip my hammer, nerves filling me. I make sure to stand next to her so I can understand why she is nervous and when she gets nervous she starts to stutter and panic.
I just clench my fist, as we accidentally brush against each other, she just steps away scared I'm going to tell her off but it's like that every time we walk we get close. I'm not the most affectionate guy but my little sister brings out that side. I just want to hold her hand and say it's going to be okay, I want a hug her but every time I want to ask for it I get scared.
We keep walking in silence until I hear footsteps, Aurelia just stops.
"Declan don't," she says but I just lunge at the tribute with my hammer as it just clangs into something. I meet the eyes with Levin who looks as stuns as me.
He is about to put his sword down but my first reaction, my first thought is to attack, I just swing at him again.
"Declan stop it," Aurelia yells but she doesn't come to help me, she just stays in the corner as does, Cedric who looks a little stunned and scared as well.
"Listen to her, we don't want to attack, even if I should kill the both of you," Levin says
"You are lying, you are a career," I spit.
I swing at him again but he can just block my attack again but I'm a true street kid, he isn't, I can beat him I know it.
"Walk Declan or I will kill you both and it won't be quick either," He says, when he gives Aurelia that look that's when I get angry he wants to hurt her. I just swing at him again, and when he tries to stab me with his sword I'm able to sweep him from under his feet.
"Stop or I will kill her"
I just look over my shoulder, not even realising Cedric has a knife to my sister's throat and another arm around her waist. He easily holds her, his grip is shaking, to the point, he almost drops the knife, Levin just stays on the ground knowing if he wanted me dead he would have killed me now.
"Yeah right, you are fucking coward you can't do shit," I say
Aurelia just screams in shock. as he just slams the knife into her shoulder. I see guilt and regret in his eyes but he is quick to pull the knife out, pushing it against her throat again.
"He is a lot Damn stronger than you Declan, make the right choice, keep trying to fight me and you will both die or we will let you walk, even if I shouldn't but I will but not for you," Levin says.
I just look at him then at Aurelia and Cedric, he is whispering something in her ear, he doesn't want to kill her but would he.
I almost want to test if he would but then he may actually kill her and seeing her now with a knife to the throat I can't handle it but if I kill Levin, Cedric will kill Aurelia there is really only one way out of this situation.
"You have three seconds before I slit her throat, don't make me do it, man, please don't make me do it," Cedric says.
I just throw my weapon to the side, stepping away from Levin and putting my hands up surrendering
Cedric still holds her and looks at Levin like they are deciding whether they do it or not and that's when I feel panic spread.
"Let her go," Levin says
Cedric pulls the knife away, pats her shoulder then shoves her forward.
"I said in the bloodbath that was your last chance, this time I mean it I see you two again and we won't be so generous," Levin mumbles as he and Cedric just run away.
"That was stupid, next time see who it's before you blindly attack" Aurelia says
"Me stupid, you were fucking standing there doing jack shit as usual pretty much asking yourself to be murdered" I yell
"He put a knife to my throat," she says.
I just put my hand out, as she grips her shoulder a parachute falling. I grab it before she can even if it says 9F, but it's just medicine as I throw her the note
"Thank you," she says
I just nod but she is right once again, I almost got us both killed and next time we won't be so lucky.
Cedric Lenlen 17, District 1 Male
I just stare at my hands while we run.
I actually have human blood on my hands, like actual blood and not my blood.
Damn I'm about to faint right now I just touch it jumping, I want to get this shit off my hands but I'm too focused trying to keep behind Levin in case, we get lost or I fall over which has happened about 6 times already to the point Markus had to sponsor me knee pads to, put under my pants and gave me gloves which I threw off when I knew I had to attack Aurelia and now I lost those gloves.
So now I have blood on my hands and I hate it, fuck it feels sticky and dry. I feel guilty that I had to stab her in the first place but man that was literally the closest I got to a girl, I actually got to touch a girl.
I almost fainted then but I knew I had to do something, Declan was just hell-bent on attacking Levin, it was obvious Levin was stunned, he didn't expect that much anger and rage, if I didn't step in we, would have both been killed.
We both knew it wasn't the right time to fight anyone, even if Levin promised not allow, the nines to run again, we knew it wasn't the right time.
I don't want to kill them well not Aurelia anyway, but I know she has to die eventually but I would rather not witness her death or kill her.
I went from never even holding a girl's hand to now having one's blood stained my hand but I just need to block it out, we need to, I actually don't know, what we are doing, I was half asleep this morning, so whatever Levin said went through one ear and the other or I have concussion.
I think I bumped my head yesterday I do have a bit of blood coming from my skull I panicked when I touched my hair this morning and there was matted blood. Levin said I hit my head last light because I didn't duck when he told me too I thought he meant like a actual duck, the thing that goes quack and has an ugly beak and feathers, shit, not like actually duck so you don't hit your stupid head because you are a tall idiot, I don't even know how I'm so damn tall.
"Fuck" I yell when I run straight into the wall.
"Dude that wall wasn't there a second ago" I say. Levin just chuckles helping me up as I just start to wipe the blood from my hands to my pants great now my pants are stained in blood but I guess it's better than nothing.
"Use your eyes, young fella, use your eyes, you okay, you did well back there," he says
"I did fuck, I thought I made you angry at me, I could have done it if you wanted me to," I say.
I mean I don't know I felt so much guilt when I stabbed her shoulder and the feeling of it, yeah na man won't be doing that again but then again if I want to win, I will have to be a killer.
Deep down I don't want to win, I just want to live I don't want the fame or fortune of being Victor, I don't want all the attention, I don't want my family to come back kissing my ass. I don't want the kids who bullied me for years or the adults who look at me like I was trash to be nice to me, I don't want that, I don't want to give them a Victor yet I don't want to die either it's that simple.
Live or die?
Not win or lose because everyone is a loser Victor or not.
I never really planned what I wanted to do with my life. I wanted to help people, the real poor people they were nice to me they didn't care that I was some tall goof ball who might as well have two left feet. I liked drawing too but I guess I was scared of being thrown out to the wolves, I wanted to make my parents proud I doubt they are even watching me, they might have thought I would have been a bloodbath but I survived one day scary thing is I don't know how many days are left.
3 dead, 14 to go and that means losing Levin no way is he dying before me, if he did die, I would I don't know, but it would be a real curve ball, I mean if I didn't step in, he could have died it shows that anyone can die, anyone can live.
Well, sort of.
I stabbed someone but would I have slit her throat?
I really don't know, I didn't want to at least I know I'm somewhat stable that I didn't want to slit her throat but what would I have done if Levin told me to.
He didn't tell me to grab her, I was going to help him but then I knew that wasn't smart, Declan may treat her like dirt but he still loves her and love is a weird emotion.
I wonder if my parents loved me, my sister clearly didn't, a part of me is worried though my parents weren't good people, Levin told me what they did to his family who were corrupt.
My father was corrupt but I can't worry about them, I have to worry about victory I have to worry about becoming the winner, I don't want to be Victor I just don't want to die.
"No there is a reason, why I didn't full-on attack him, maybe I was stunned he came at me but I didn't want them dead, you saved my life, you're a lot smarter and stronger than you think," he says
"I'm like a head taller them her" I shrug
"I mean some would have panicked, you could have ran, you could have attacked Declan, but you didn't, you were calm under pressure you found the best course of action for that situation, you know how much strength that shows, hell I would have probably killed him or died if you didn't step in, but you also didn't kill her, you stayed calm" he says
"Holding a knife to a girl's throat is easier than fighting than killing even having her blood on my hands didn't feel right," I say
"I know but once you end your first life, it gets easier, but as long as we are together I will protect you from that okay," he says.
I just smirk at him I can't believe a stone-hearted hitman is probably the best friend I have ever had. He understands me and we can talk about random shit and laugh and have fun, which I didn't expect from a guy like Levin but his one of the boys you know.
"I felt this weird power when I had the knife to her throat yet when I stabbed her it didn't feel right, is that what it's like you get power but then feel numb," I say
"Yeah I guess, I wish I could tell you what it's like but to be honest ending a life is different for every person, let's just you know not speak about it, we dodged a bullet now we just need to try and move," he says
I just nod as we begin to move. I make sure to look at the ground the last thing I want is to slip over another head like Jesus Christ I expect fucking whacko blow torch freak or the loony tune wannabe doctor who to walk around with a head.
I'm so scared right now. I just jump when I hear something as I just hit Levin on the chest when he hits the wall "Don't do that man I have a small heart, I should be on heart tablets" I say
He just chuckles, as we keep following the map, we want to move to the furthest town but it seems like the nines have the same idea and we don't want to bump into them again because I don't think everyone will be walking away with their life. The thing about this maze though, is that it is easy to hear that's how Declan heard us, we were both too busy in our little words to realise bam bam zoom was coming towards us, and now we are completely focused.
That's why when I hear footsteps I just pull my bow out my hands are still shaking but Levin and I know our roles I stop if it is one of the random draws he kills but if it's anyone else we run, we don't have any conflict again.
"It's only one tribute it would have to be a random draw" he whispers he is right everyone else is in pairs unless the fours already split, but if we see a single hand chosen unless it's the pair from two, we are going to take a shot, even letting the pair from 9 go, could bite us in the ass because every situation is different.
I had reasons to not want to kill them, well Aurelia anyway but I am surprised Levin didn't but it's too early.
I just pull my string back, it's all about using the sound I'm not the smartest guy but spending almost all my time alone, I learned how to get used to the silence, so when you can hear things it does alert you, I hear a grunt as I just bite my lip as I just follow Levin as the boy from 3 is on the ground an arrow to his leg even that makes me feel guilty.
I don't even know the boy's name maybe I don't want to but I am more shocked it hit the target I used to never hit a target at home, maybe it's because of the technique or because I was trying too hard trying too hard to fit in, trying too hard to please everyone around me.
Even Markus said that he said if I stop thinking about what others think if I stop worrying and just be myself I might surprise myself, he did still say I have no chance but I think the old man was growing to me, he did take time to help me.
I have a thing with the elderly I mean before Levin my best friend was an old man, the saddest thing is Kenzo was the only one that visited me after I was reaped, he lied and said he was my grandfather. I still have the little badge he gave me, one he got years ago for his services of helping the district, he said it means a lot to him and if I don't come back to give it back to him, he will kick my ass.
"Look away," Levin says to me
"It's okay I can't be shaded from the truth" I say he just smiles at me and then bites his lip as the boy from 3 tries to crawl away. Levin just slams his boots on his back flipping him over and presses his boot on his stomach even if I don't want to watch, I need to see what Levin does, I need to take notes.
If by some miracle I survive more days we aren't going to be together forever, we have to split eventually and I will be on my own. I will need to be a big boy and I have always been scared to grow up, it's why I never wanted to be kicked out of home I was scared.
I am still scared
"I am sorry" Levin says.
So am I kid, so am I since I am just standing here doing nothing but I don't say that as I watch Levin just grab him by the end of the jumper and end him quick with a stab to the heart as a cannon booms. He just stares at the body for a moment, nods then grabs his knife like that.
Like it is that easy.
Maybe it is.
Or maybe he just makes it look easy and maybe it's because he is fucked in the head. I was still paranoid I was being played and that one day I will wake up and Levin would be some maniac and was drawing on me with a knife or something but he isn't. He is a really nice guy who has a family who needs him, deep down I am jealous.
I have nothing.
Levin just gently nudges to snap out of my day dream, me it's the first cannon all day it's been quiet, too quiet and that scares me. We have Harley who runs around with a saw, We have a fucking pyromaniac and now we have some psychopath who was carrying a head yet only four have died that's the scary thing maybe that's why the arena is a maze, they don't want a full out massacre, they want it to be slow hs drawn out.
"Where should we go" I ask as he pulls out his map
"He wasn't running so he wasn't being chased maybe just to this town, do what we did, get some rest, maybe just hang for a day or two then make our next move, we killed so that will give us a little time shows we aren't just doing nothing," he says
"You killed," I correct
"And you could have," he says
"Why do I feel like keeping the nines alive will bite us in the ass," I say
"Because you are Mr negative," he says
"No, I am not, you are normally the negative one, fuck what is that" I yell when I step on something slipping over again
"Your laces," he chuckles
"Oh look man after tripping over a head like twice I'm a little paranoid" I say
He just smirks "Another thing I don't actually know is how to tie my laces, I'm used to Velcro" I say luckily I got an avox to tie them for me each morning.
He just kneels down tying them for me "Thanks" I say
"Hey don't be embarrassed" he says
I just shrug it is embarrassing though but I mean he couldn't tie a tie so we aren't too dissimilar but then again we are so different it ain't funny but we have some similarities and we have a similar motive, it's why we work so well together we are one, but at the end of the day we will have to split or even worse turn against each other and I'm not ready for that.
Winston Connors 17, District 10 Male
I could really use some viper scratch right now that's for sure, being in these games I'm already stressed out, every little noise, every movement it makes me jumpy, paranoid, we has a somewhat easy road out of the bloodbath
I was next to one of the boy from 3, so I easily got a bag, I was still stunned and relieved that Mabel made it out as she was paired with Rory like honestly I'm still expecting for her to come out she is some ghost because the fact that maniac let her go is still tripping me out, like I mean if I was a serial killer and I had a easy target next to me I would have killed her too but no
All Mabel said is he said something about about how good little girls are too play with them just started to go for the bag and didn't touch her, or maybe she is lying but I can't doubt my district partner, I can't doubt my allies, none of us knew how to read a map so we spent all night walking through it until we finally found a town now we are just hiding out in some theatre which has some dead body hanging on the roof which isn't creepy and I thought it was one of the twos leaving a trophy but I don't think it is, so we just stayed right away from the body
But being in here, I just want to block it out, it's day 2 and I'm already starting to feel the paranoia the fear, I'm worried someone will come in and attack us all, or I will loose my allies I have tried to distance myself to Dash, but it's hard not to get attached to Mabel she is like the little sister I never had, a want to protect her but I don't want to die I'm just hoping the choice will get taken out of my hands, that she will die and it wouldn't be my fault, I just finger my cleaver, I'm not ready to fight even if I might seem tense I care for my allies, even if dash and I haven't really had a one on one his one if the boys
I always would respect someone with a black band it's a bond, it's why I offered Aurelia a last minute alliance, I don't blame her for rejecting it, I don't understand her situation and I don't really want to be in it, I'm lucky I never have had people mis treat me, I have never felt trapped well besides when I was high and whoopy on drugs but other then that life has been fine it hasn't been easy but that's panem for you nothing in this world is easy
I was shocked I survived the bloodbath I was worried my dark horse role would have painted me a target but it was clear the careers had other motives and that's a bit a scaring thing, the twos fuck knows what they are planning the fuck Rory just let Mabel go I don't know if that's a good thing or the little girl will end up regretting it, a part of me almost wants to kill her now to ensure she doesn't have to suffer but I can't do that, I won't have the heart to do that she is too innocent she is my sunshine fuck I have gotten way to attached to the little girl and that could be the death of me but I know deep down in my heart
I am a coward, I would run and I hate myself for it, but I know I have too, even if he wasn't my mentor Aden told me not to save her, that's it's better for her to go quickly rather then suffer, I would say anyone can win but would a 14 year old really beat the others hell even I can't beat the others really the only hand chosen tribute I think I have a chance to beat in a fight is Aurelia and even then I wouldn't be confident she is a street kid after all, we fight dirty, fight rough I loved the fights even if I was a coward at time sometimes I ran fade first into a fight I loved the thrill of it all
I just jump when I hear footsteps "Relax bro it's just me" Dash says
"Fuck sorry I have been so on edge" I admit, it's not that I distrust these two well I mean no way Mabel would try to kill me and even if she tried I would destroy her and Dash I wanted him as a allie ne his a cool dude, I don't entirely trust him but at the end of the day the only person in these games you can trust is yourself and even that is a on and off relationship but anything can happen we got lucky in the bloodbath but being the biggest group once the weaker tributes die and four of them already have we will be the next targets because we have the weakest tribute and I'm not going myself strong either
"Hey I can't blame you this arena is creepy as fuck we heard singing last night" he says
"I did too I thought I was hearing things" I say god please don't tell me that dead body was singing I wanted to get rid of it but I ain't going to that much effort to get rid of it plus I'm worried it's not actually dead that's why we should move in case it is a mutt and it ends up being a zombie
"We should move soon, Mabel finally feel asleep I don't want to wake her" he says yet he left her alone but I can't worry about her too much, we are a alliance he is important too
"I hope I haven't been neglecting or showing my sides or anything" I say I don't want him to think I won't have his back because if I had to choice who I would rather take further as much as I care for Mabel as much as I want to protect her I know if I want to get further it's with dash it's so conflicting right now, head or heart, back at ten I always went with my head, I cared for my mates but I know they could protect themselves, here it's different
"No of course not I get it you guys are close, she is a sweet kid" he says
"I don't know how I got this protective so I use to be a ex drug addict being a nice person wasn't really in my nature" I say
"It's like a street thing, I would bash anyone that is a threat to me but I a,so was protective over my people, it's like that with kids like us, it's like that with the nines too" he says
"How long do you think we have before the tides turn, that we are forced to fight, forced to even split" I say
"14 left year, we may have another day or two, tributes seem to get extra time but doing something maybe if we move and be I don't know entertaining they might keep us, your funny as hell and Mabel is the little sweetheart, we give them some entertainment, hopefully that would be enough for now, have you planned what you will do if we bump into someone" he says
"I don't know we are allies so we are a team, we fight or at least us too fight I don't know man I feel like there is a huge elephant in the room right now" I say
"A what" he says
"It's just a saying that there is a obvious concern and we can really know talk about it" I say
"Yeah but I wanted to be with the both of you, you are right we are a team right, you are my boy and I care for Mabel, if we stick together fight together or like you said at least us two maybe we will shock people, we haven't really planned if" he says
"Yeah sorry planning isn't really my thing and I didn't warn to take lead" I say
"No I wanted your input" he says
"You idea of starting to move around is a good idea, hopefully we don't bump into soemone but if we do somehow bump into one of the stronger groups and we get away we escaped shows we have done something unless you wanted to fight" I say
"The ones no, even if the younger boys seems weak as shit I feel like his a lot stronger then we think, the twos hell no we run, the fours the same I saw the older one behead the first tribute he saw, the nines I don't know I mean you and I could probably level them in a fight" he shrugs that's the thing even if we have a extra number it's still going to be two on two we wouldn't want Mabel to fight and I know she will be too scared she is too soft, to gentle
Dash and I have both killed before we know what to do "If we do have to fight what about Mabel, do we tell her to run then find her later" I say
"Yeah" he says
"And if we bumped into a weaker tribute" I say
"I'm willing to do it" he says
"Let's hope we don't let's hope the arena just opens and we can fly away" I say yeah right maybe on viper scratch I would believe that oh viper scratch I need it right now that's for sure
