Day 5

Declan Callen 18, District 9 Male


I fucked up again and I only have myself to blame, but I can't, maybe it's pride or maybe it's because I don't know how to feel guilt or self-hate.

I don't even know what is going on in my mind right now, it's all over the place, the stress it's getting to me at home when I had my medication everything felt numb, it felt calm.

I wasn't angry like this I wasn't rattled yet I didn't have much to lose at home because I already lost everything, I lost my sister, I lost my home, my innocence, I had nothing left to lose but I didn't lose my sanity yet right now it's hanging by a thread, every time I see blood.

I want to feel it in my hands, it's like this addiction I have never felt before.

And that's not normal I'm terrified, I'm scared and after Aurelia and I had a moment a few days ago, I thought I was getting better and that I was finally over my whirlwind of emotions, that I could be the brother she wanted but then she got me to run from who she said was Harley but I knew it was the ones and that anger towards her grew, and it wasn't her fault, she doesn't want to fight, she wants to protect me because she knows I can't control it, but that hurts me as well.

Xander says I'm on the highway of insanity and I should have done everyone a favour and jumped off my pedestal and he is right. I'm toxic yet I can't leave, I don't want to leave, she is my anchor and being with her calms and settles me, she has this endearing innocence to her that I need right now yet when I feel like we are progressing I fuck it up.

Like yesterday when she forced me to stop chasing Kylian I was pissed off and angry because it feels like she has no idea how to play this game and she just wants to be a pacifist, just wants to be the princess in distress and I have to be her knight to save her, and I'm no knight, I am no hero.

This is about surviving and leaving someone alive, that isn't surviving, that is being a coward.

Brayen might have treated her like some precious baby, comforting her, holding her hand and making her feel like she has a chance but she doesn't, if it wasn't for me she would be dead yet I know she is hell lot stronger than me yet after yesterday I just couldn't help myself I slammed her against the wall and yelled at her.

I said I wish she was dead and I hated her, I didn't mean that, she locked herself in one of the hotel rooms and I just sat outside hearing her cry.

The entire night I was so close to slitting my own wrists she doesn't deserve this yet I'm so close to switching it all off, maybe being a void, maybe being a monster is better than having a heart.

Better than having emotions.

Stellan died last night, I didn't expect that which means the heat will be on us. I agree with Aurelia in the sense I want to run and hope that we don't bump into anyone, but at the same time, I want to join in the action. I want to kill someone Xander warned me against it I know I pushed that boy away so many time in the captiol, hell we got in about 4 fist fights yet he kept trying to help me.

He is scared I'm going to be like him and if I lose Aurelia I will, I know I will but maybe I already lost her.

I came into these games hell-bent on winning, hell-bent on living. I didn't care if that meant killing my sister because she was a stranger to me, and maybe she still is, we may share the same hair and eye colour but we have nothing else in common.

Who we were as children, doesn't matter anymore, she is broken and I'm a monster. I should just walk away that would be the selfless thing to do.

I will get her killed I almost did again, if I hadn't stormed off on her yesterday Kylian wouldn't have grabbed her, she escaped him, she didn't need me.

She doesn't need me, that's what hurts and I can't handle that truth she is mine as much as she doesn't want that, she is my sister and I can't let her go, if she dies or runs I will have no one stopping me from fully losing my sanity, I won't have anyone stopping me become the next Xander, and that scares me.

I might be cold and heartless but so was he and even if he didn't spend as much time with me as Brayen spent with Aurelia I could see inside him, he would rather be dead.

But am I ready for death?

No, but am I ready to lose my sister?

No

Even if every day we fight, every day we have moments of connection, where we bond and it feels like the old times, I want to feel that with her, I want to go back to my childhood because it was the only happy time in my pathetic life, before my father's true colours shined.

The fact they didn't try to win Aurelia back, is what hurts the most, but being an outlaw, we hold prisoners, no way they would have given her back even if they coughed up the money, they wouldn't have given her back.

I was raised to almost be a monster, the villain but the Hunger Games it's a whole different ballpark, it's like I can't even breathe half the time, the paranoia has really set in.

I'm scared of dying, I always have been but is death really the better option.

I stare at the knife in my hand it would be so easy, but would that really help Aurelia, there are four pairs left and Kylian, if I'm gone yes she can survive on her own but if she bumps into the pairs from one or two, that fucking saw wielding manic sadistic piece of shit so-called angel of death wants her, if he gets his hands on her I can't imagine it what he will do to her, it's why I'm so protective.

At the same time, I don't want to care about her, I shouldn't care about her but a huge part of me is selfish the main reason I won't leave is because of myself.

I need that human anchor plus she seems to be taking the brunt, they seem to be attacking her, and she is pretty much a shield when I thought it would be the other way.

I just get sick of the silence, using the bobby pin I found at one of the shops picking, the lock and walk in, she looks startled as she just sits by the wall staring into space, I just sit next to her "I hope you at least slept" I say, she shakes her head.

"I couldn't because of the pain" she shrugs

"Why didn't they send you medicine," I say, she has a stab wound from Kylian then a wound to the head caused by me.

I didn't even realise I did it until the aftermath, her blood still stains my hammer what if that killed her?

I couldn't forgive myself not after we bonded, I never loved someone, and I don't know how to love so having to show it, does scare me, it's almost foreign to me.

"I didn't get a sponsor gift until late," she says

"That's not good enough, fucking do your job Brayen," I yell

"Maybe if you didn't give me a concussion he wouldn't have had to and the mentors choose to send the gift the capitol don't have to send them straight away" she says I just turn around slamming my hand on her chest.

"If you didn't get yourself hurt then you wouldn't have had to get medicine, fucking grow a spine and stop acting like a little girl," I say

Yet she ran from him, she saved herself, I didn't save her and that's what hurts the most

"Can we just go, move someone else" she stutters. I just stare at her nodding and moving away from her, I just see her wipe her eyes when she doesn't think I'm looking.

I even made her cry.

I shouldn't as her older brother make her cry.

I just swallow that guilt, if I show too many emotions it will consume me like it already has I am poison.

"I think we are being hunted," she says softly

"And you want to keep running," I say

"I don't know Declan, I don't know because every time we bump into a tribute it starts a fight, you call me weak or I get scared of you because I know you are so close to snapping" she says

"I'm not close to snapping" I say she just tilts her head at me. I almost hit her again but I don't, she is right the thing is, I have already snapped.

"I understand and I'm sorry for being put here with you" she says

"It isn't your fault" I say

"It could be, district 9 are filled with boys with the story, we have an active serial killer who is only 17, they could have thrown him in, but no they chose they wanted the tragic long lost sibling story," she says

"It isn't your fault" I repeat but I know this is all her fault, just as much as mine.

She just stares at me, I just help her up as she keeps a grip on my hand longer than planned quickly letting go again worried I'm going to yell at her, she always is scared of that isn't she.

"You need to stop being scared of being yelled at or hurt sometimes you deserve it, you aren't perfect," I say

"I was hit and yelled at for no reason, all throughout my childhood," she says

"Don't you think there was a reason you were kidnapped, yes you had brains but you spoilt brat, you deserved it" I say

"Did I deserve to be raped every day from the age of 6 by a 16-year-old boy and later made to be a sex toy for a boy only a couple years older than me?" she says I just stare at her.

"That wasn't in your journal" I stutter

"There is a lot not in that journal, let's just move then we can just avoid each other," she says. I just grab her wrist

"I don't want to avoid each other," I say

"Then what do you want I don't know what I want. I wanted to rebuild our bond, I wanted to die for you but now I'm not sure life is very precious as much as my life was shit you're not worth dying for" she says

I just stare at her again "But you are" I say she doesn't say anything

"Where should we go," she says

"To another town, I think we should try to hunt someone today," I say

"There are five careers left," she says

"I wouldn't call Cedric a career, that kid is a loser" I say

"He is a better person than you would ever be" she says

"Then go fucking Allie with him" I yell she does set me off sometimes it's obvious she doesn't know how to keep my emotions intact and I just lose it but she shouldn't be responsible for my emotions.

"Let's just go," she says

I just nod I stay next to her this time, I know she was sore and tired yesterday. I had to chase her for miles because we were running from I don't know if it was the ones or the twos, I mean admittedly Harley and Cedric are the same height, they also have similar hair colour and in the dark, it looks the same, it's not hard to get them mixed up and even with the different district colours it's hard to tell this arena is so damn dark. I hate it I guess I'm used to it though District Nine was always dark and in the dark regions we barely had electricity.

The cold ear hits me instantly as my hand brushes against Aurelia. I want to hold it, I want that warmth yet I don't deserve it at the same time "We can just wander in the maze a little bit there hasn't been a death today though" she says that's the nerve-racking thing.

Sometimes with us, silence is better because the more we talk the more attached I get or the more we argue. We are just complete poison for each other, but it is my fault she has tried to, ask me about my life, about what I do but I just yelled at her and said it was none of her business when it is, but I didn't want to tell her I'm a monster that I enjoyed being an outlaw, that I enjoyed the power I just grab her arm.

I hear talking I hear a female voice, there is only one other female in this arena, something inside me just snaps like I can't control my actions and I lunge.

"Declan no" Aurelia says, it's too late because I wrap my arms around the little girl from 10 bringing us both to the ground, she squeals in shock and I swear I hear a crack.

I broke something of hers of course I did, I weigh like double her size and in no means I am overweight.

"Declan" Aurelia yells she is in shock I just keep a hand on Mabel's chest almost pressing down, she screeches and tries to claw at my chest, claw my face but I was so intent for some reason on killing the weakest link that I forgot about her district partner who tackles me off her.

I barely move away from his stab of the cleaver as I just push him off me swinging my hammer at him, I look around and see the little girl slumped against the wall holding onto her ribs my force clearly injuring her. I look towards my sister who stands there frozen anger filling me.

There is an easy kill right there just sitting there, fuck my sister is weak but even she can kill a little girl, a little girl who is crying over being tackled for fuck sake I didn't even stab her.

"For fuck sake Aurelia just kill her" I yell Winston swings at me, but my sister hasn't even made a move to kill her, hasn't made a move to do anything, just like last time and last time that got a knife to her throat this time she is safe, so I don't know why she isn't making a move.

"She isn't like you, she has a heart," Winston says

"Shut up" I grumble but I'm distracted so he just slices my leg with his cleaver. I get ready to swing at him but before he can he gets brought to the ground as him and Aurelia roll over each other, even I'm shocked I wanted her to kill Mabel but at the same time I wanted that kill for myself, I want my first kill in these games to be easy. Winston's full attention is now on my sister, those two going at it like how street kids do with their fists and rolling over each other.

I turn around as I see Mabel run off just leaving her partner I hesitate for a moment. Help my sister against a boy who levels her or do I hunt down the easy prey.

Come on Aurelia you aren't weak to let him kill are you, so I leave her, she just needs to hold on long enough I will kill Mabel in a second. I run into the maze and I can hear her running and panting.

I easily catch up to her I grab a fist full of her hair flinging her to the ground, she falls to the ground in a heap and I'm on her in a second, I force my entire body weight on her chest as I hear another crack.

"Please, please" she yells. I don't say anything I just can't control myself as the first time I punch her in the face I feel this power, this rage that, I do it again and again my body weight easily keeps her down as punch after punch this feeling inside me grows.

"MUMMY DADDY PLEASE HELP ME PLEASE" she yells I hesitate for one second.

"Please I have a family they love me please" she says.

Her face is already a mess of bruising, my fist caked in her blood but as I stare at her I feel nothing I just cover her mouth and punch again I don't even know how long I go on for until a cannon, I completely forget where I am because all I see is red.


Aurelia Callen 16, District 9 Female


"Look I find it really heroic of you to not kill my district partner but are you insane girl. I can kill you, I probably should since you know my district partner is as good as dead because you got me away from her and left your psychotic brother to deal with her" Winston says.

We have been rolling over each other trying to get the most dominant position for a few minutes now, neither of us really trying to kill the other.

I'm more trying to keep him from running and trying to save Mabel by hurting my brother and he is trying to get me in the position where he can run without killing me.

I just don't know what is happening with Declan, I was shocked and then when he started to fight Winston I was frozen. I couldn't move, there was no well in hell I wanted to kill Mabel that wasn't even an option that crossed my mind, a part of me wanted to run to her and help get her the fuck away from the monster.

The monster who is my brother yet I just panicked and I attacked Winston, I was hoping maybe that would give Mabel time so she can run and Declan would help me but instead he left me,

He left me to pretty much die, so he can kill a little girl that won't harm a fly, let Rory and Harley kill her or Levin, why does he have to do it?

I just wince as Winston just slams his fist on my throat I'm tired and see as he just grips my neck "Maybe she got away, there hasn't been a cannon" I say

"You know your own brother left you, just walk away Aurelia walk the opposite way and get the best chance to win for yourself, I won't chase you or I will kill you. I don't want to even I should since you are one of the reasons my partner may die but I have killed before don't make me kill you" he hisses.

I just try to push him off me but he has me secretly pinned under him I can hear a female scream and even if that hesitates Winston for a brief second his grip on my neck tightens

"I-" I'm lost for words as he stares at me for a moment.

"Don't make me kill you, please don't make me kill you" he says

"Just go help your partner," I say

"Get off you so you will attack me to give your brother more time, again I'm not stupid hell maybe you two planned this all along, maybe you are just as bad as him" he yells

"I attacked you give Mabel time to run" I yell

We are both panicking but when his grip on my neck gets tighter. I begin to really panic I claw at his hands, I want to scream for my brother but he won't help me, he showed that killing is above my life. I need to get out of this myself but how?

He has me securely under him, and his knees on my hand. I can use that to grab my weapon as I feel my throat close in.

At least if I let him kill me my two biggest fear in these games was seeing my brother become a monster and what my death could be.

I don't want to see what Declan has become and Winston is doing it as quick as he can without a weapon, so I almost let myself relax underneath him ready to face death.

"Aurelia please, don't make me do this" he says. He doesn't want to kill me but he has no choice.

"It's okay, please just do it," I whisper he hesitates for a moment but then his hands tighten even more around my throat

BOOM

Winston just stops as I just panic flinging him off with so much force and strength I didn't know I had As his head hits the maze wall and he slumps to the ground panic fills me. I quickly grab his wrist checking his watch.

79% currently unconscious

He isn't dead, I don't want to leave him like this when someone like the whack brothers can have a party with an unconscious boy but I'm not killing him either.

So I flee

I just run through the maze, I was ready to die but hearing the cannon, panic spread through out me, what if it was Declan it seems unlikely, I would be shocked but who knows Mabel wouldn't have killed him no way the twos, or the ones could have bumped it them.

I can't take the risk I don't want to die without closure, and I don't want him to die hating me which is tough because he hates me almost all of the time. All I want to hear is a I love you, then I will walk away maybe I am stupid for wanting that, maybe I am delusional but I need something to hold onto. I have so many bad memories but I want good ones too and I don't have many good memories, I want to die with one, I want to die happy but how

I just pause for a moment my throat still sore, maybe I am weak if I just done what Declan wanted, both the tributes from 10 would have been dead. The screaming we heard had stopped which made me believe the death was Mabel, as much I don't want her to die, she is too innocent for these games. I'm not my innocence was stolen when I was 6 and even if I never physically killed someone, I never stopped someone from dying either.

I stood there and watched I was just as bad as the killer, I was hoping I would find him. I turn a corner my heart sinking, I see Declan on top of someone just swinging his fist over and over again mumbling something that doesn't even sound English. A pool of blood coming from that tribute, it isn't until I walk closer that pure terror fills me.

That cannon was Mabel because her face is barely even together anymore, just a pile of flesh and bone. Declan keeps punching he doesn't even know I'm here.

"Declan," I say shocked I can't move, I can't speak.

I can't believe what I'm seeing. I know he was close to falling off the edge but I was hoping, praying I was keeping him together but this, he didn't just kill the sweet little girl from ten, he destroyed her who knows how long he has been punching her, who knows how long she was suffering for.

Guilt fills me if I just killed her she wouldn't have suffered, no I should I have stopped Declan but I thought me stopping Winston would have saved Mabel

I should have helped her and we both run because clearly she was only worried about her life but then Winston would have had this fate. He just stops looking at me, as blood soaks his hand, is splattered all over his face, the look in his eyes it's almost inhuman this isn't my big brother.

He doesn't even look guilty, he doesn't look happy either, he has no emotion on his face. I just run, I just flee, I can't, I can't face him, that isn't my brother.

That is a void.

My brother died 10 years ago, I feel so stupid, I put myself through mental torture, through pain to help him but you can't fix what is broken.

I should have let Winston kill me.

Hell I should have let Kylian kill me in the bloodbath, I have no idea where I'm running to, I have no idea what my next plan is all I know is I have to get away from him but before I can make my next turn I'm brought to the ground by someone, as I just scream in shock.

"Aurelia stop," Declan yells

"Stay away from me" I yell. I just kick up pushing him off me.

"Let's just talk about this," I say

"Talk about what you murdered a little girl, everyone was right about you, You are just a monster," I say. I just scream in shock when he swings at me with his hammer and if I didn't duck I would be dead or get permanent brain damage, my brother would have been my killer.

"I killed her because of you, this is all your fault everything is all your fault" he yells he lunges at me again as I just run away I just need to run and pray.

Pray for what?

I lose him, I'm still struggling to breathe after being almost choked to death, my legs are killing me, but what if I bump into someone?

No one is going to save me, they will just kill the both of us, where is my fucking freak of a knight in shining armour when I need him.

No, I'm not that desperate to get away from my brother, I would rather my brother kill me than bump into Harley.

But the ones?

They were hunting us, and a part of me wants them to find us but them too what?

Kill Declan?

Kill me?

I don't know l,I just fall over my chin hitting the concrete as my legs just give up running as I hear footsteps.

"Declan please we need to split okay, we aren't any good for each other," I say

He just stands over me his hammer back on his back. I have a sword I can kill him but I won't, I can't. I'm not a killer maybe one day but I just freeze, I had no intention of killing Winston. I just wanted to give Mabel more time to run but instead, I made things worse for her. I should have let him go after them but then I was worried about my brother, I worry about people more than I worry about myself and it's going to come back to bite me one day, big time.

"No, you aren't leaving me" he says. I just get stunned, as he drops his weight on me, no wonder he broke little Mabel's ribs even if he's not a big boy weight wise he is tall and muscular as is struggle under him.

"If you kill me, you will not forgive yourself" I say

I think he is already long gone though. Xander was right he saw it inside my brother, he knew he wasn't stable it is why he wanted him with me he thought that would give him time, but having a friend gave Xander more time before he lost it.

Then when they saw my treatment, they told me to leave but I couldn't, that really was a dumb decision wasn't it. Xander was different he showed he had a heart, he only snapped when he lost his allie, when his allie got killed.

He didn't force him away, he didn't kill a little girl for no reason, yes he tortured the girl from two but at the end of the day, that won him his games.

He brings something from his pocket and I close my eyes expecting it to be a weapon.

"I'm not killing you Aurelia but if you are going to run, if you want to leave I have no choice but to do this" he says.

I open my eyes as I feel him tie my hands up, I struggle underneath him but he is too strong.

"Taking your own sister hostage, real classy Declan," I say but it hurts because it means he needs me and I'm willing to run but seeing what he did to Mabel.

I can't be his Allie, He has taken the dark path, he is the tribute who lost his mind. Saxon he did the same thing last year and he killed Kaela, now I might be the victim of a tribute who lost his mind, the saddest thing is, this tribute is my own brother.

I just flinch when he swings his fist at his nose "Listen here you are not my allie anymore, you are not my sister, you are my hostage, listen to everything I say and I won't hurt you understood," he says

"I didn't expect my own brother to do this to me," I say another hit to my nose but he doesn't say anything, he just angrily pulls me up. He snatches the sword from my belt and the knife from my pocket, I throw my backpack to the side before I lunge at Winston so I don't even have supplies.

"Where is ten?" he says

"He ran off after the cannon" I lie he just slams me against the wall.

"You are a terrible liar where is ten" he repeats.

It is as if the second he killed Mabel, he completely changed who he was and that he became a completely different person.

"He got knocked out, I just left him I was worried about you," I say and that worry got me tied up and stripped of anything to defend myself by my own brother.

"Worried I couldn't kill a little girl, your faith in me is pathetic Aurelia. Lead the way" he says just pushing a knife on my back. I just stumble on my feet trying to not cry, trying to not break down, I can't believe he is doing this to me.

"Hurry up," he says

"I'm in fucking pain Declan," I yell he just shrugs and I just shake my head, we make it to where I believe I left Winston.

"I don't see him," he says

"He was here, I promise, there is even blood I don't know where, he went I promise" I stutter

He just stares at me "He wouldn't have gotten far, he probably went to the east town, we go there, rest for the night then hunt him in the morning," he says

"Then what," I say

"Hunt the rest of them, I keep you with me, use you as bait, kill you, I haven't decided that yet," he says

"Or you can let me go," I say. I put my hands up to shield my face before he can slice my cheek.

"You are not leaving me," he says, it sounded so vulnerable he thinks I wanted to leave him I didn't want to, but I had no choice he lost it and I was completely terrified.

He grabs my arm leading me away, as I bite my lip fear eating me alive. I feel sorry for him I really do and I feel like this is partially my fault, I shouldn't have ran, it makes him feel like I don't care about him, but I don't know how to help him anymore. We make it back to the town, thankfully no one is in sight, as he just roughly pulls me through the town, it's like I'm not even his sister anymore and I'm scared of what's going to happen at the end. What if we bump into the freak brothers will he hand me over.

That's the saddest thing is those two evil maniacs, that kill so many people treat each other like brothers.

They care for each other meanwhile my own brother is treating me like a hostage he has become a void like Kylian, the scary thing is he still feels every bit of emotion.

He is still scared, he just pushes me into a small diner, which is completely empty and trashed just pushing me on the ground, grabbing another piece of rope and tying my already tied hands to the table leg, just sitting next to me.

"What if I need to go to the bathroom," I ask

"Ask," he shrugs.

"Just like I'm back at home," I say, he just stares at me like he's about to open his mouth but a parachute drops before he can, he just opens it taking out a pair of clothes for himself and walking over to me with a vile. I try and move my head as he just roughly grabs my mouth forcing it down my throat the wounds healing.

Yet nothing will hear the mental wounds.


Harley Tandley 16, District 2 Male


I just stare at the body almost fascinated. I was busy praying with a statue of a dead nun at some outdoor church, we found until the banshee started screaming but then I realised it wasn't a banshee it was a girl.

At first I panicked worried it was my girl but then when I heard the girl scream for her mummy and daddy. I knew it was the little girl, wasn't it Beautiful though, the screeching, the pure agony. I could replay it like a melody, we were allowed music players in district two. I had recordings of my victims something about the sound of of screaming put me to sleep with a smile on my place, it was like my own endless lullaby.

We wanted to run and witness it, it was odd, who would make her scream so loud for so long, normally that's a Rory and I thing.

Means that we have a reaper slaughtering the innocent little lambs that is not good, instead of being sent to nice happy place, little Mabel might have been sent to hell, it really doesn't matter if you are a good or bad person, it depends who kills you.

I am a angel of death everyone I kill, gets sent to heaven unless I kill them with Stanley he is my devils knife, then they get sent to hell.

I just kneel down fingering her broken and bloody skull, whoever did this. He did a number on her, I know it wasn't my girl, she is an angel, she wouldn't do this too such a precious little soul.

Poor little Mabel she should have come to us we would have taken care of her, but I'm so fascinated by the bones sticking out you can barely recognise her face at the start I was worried it was Aurelia.

They are both blonde but I remember the District colours and a 14 year old bones are a lot more fragile than 16 year old I can tell by her jaw, she is still growing a tooth not that she has teeth anymore that's all destroyed her, entire face is destroyed. I am quite impressed by whoever did this, a little concerned too, that is the work of a madman even I have more self-control and according to my now deceased psychiatrist I am clinically insane.

"No Lucifer we didn't do this, I wish we did," Rory says

"We let her go we knew what would happen, it's obvious who did this, the ice king struck her down but we didn't know he was a reaper that isn't good," I say, it is obvious who this is.

Cedric isn't physically strong enough to do this much damage with his bare hands hell even I'm not. This is filled with pure hatred and rage and I'm a very gentle and placid person. Levin he physically could have this but he wouldn't, only a heartless monster could have even I wouldn't .

Not that I'm heartless I send people to a better place not to hell but we can save her, save her soul.

"She was even holding onto this" Rory says pulling out a pink horse from her pocket if had emotions I would feel sorry for her, but I don't instead I wish I witnessed it, little girls are the best victims after all my favourite victims. I don't kill them as much as Rory but when I do I salvage every minute of it, my most memorable kill was this little 7-year-old girl, her name was Rose. She used to sing at the church she was such a sweet little girl, she used to pick flowers and hand them to people to make their day, and she used to bake cookies and give them to the poor.

One day, I was at the grave hard mourning someone's death because that is a duty of mine she thought I was crying, she held my hand and said it would be okay. I asked her if she wanted to go for a walk and she held my hand and followed me like she trusted me.

I didn't take her to my lair it was too scary for a little girl instead I slaughter her in a flower bed, I slit her throat as she started screeching for her parents, then I cut her stomach open, then ripped out her heart it was very hearty wrenching.

I hope she enjoys heaven, the poor little angel.

"I have a box," I say bringing out a gift box we saw it at some store and I wanted to give someone a gift. I already have a gift for Aurelia I hope she likes it I put a lot of effort into getting it ready for her, and the time is ticking for her, a few more days and she will be mine forever.

I have so many plans, I have always been curious, always wanted to feel love, and now I can do that, then I will set her free, she deserves happiness then once I die we can get married and have children in heaven, it's perfect.

Rory smirks "Winston is alone, can give him a gift" He says

This means the nines are close, oh wait it doesn't matter we have a tracker, we know where everyone is.

For some reason, everyone is within close proximity to endothermic, it's clear Kylian has a tracker due to his movements, the ones seem to know where they are going, so we need to split them up.

Cedric can't get to her first, I would kill him but the ones, one of them needs to win we can't kill them yet, I just hate how she looked at Cedric it was like she liked him too or found him cute and when she looked at me it was like she was worried I was going to bite her or something.

I do bite but not on the first date that's like a second date thing, but with the numbers dropping we need the pairs to start splitting. Now only three pairs are together but if Declan killed Mabel, where was Aurelia.

I just looked at my tracker, they are still together though.

"I like your thinking, my friend," I say just slicing her chest open. I almost pretend to picture her screaming, while I do this. It is boring that she is dead and has a well-destroyed face, if there were more dead females around I would have cut that head off and attached it to Mabel's body so at least her family can have a proper burial that's what I do with my victims.

Yes the bodies are all cut open and sometimes missing limbs but I make sure the face is never touched, Even if I had to I just stick another head-on sometimes if I can't find a human head I find a dead wolf and attach a dead wolves head, it actually works pretty well.

It's quite easy to stick limbs together, to be honest, a lot easier than I thought.

I just rip her heart out feeling it in my hand I do like the feeling of our Hearst they are soft but also hard I did try to eat one today it was disgusting I never hate flesh ir drank blood after that as I just put if in the box tying it up with a cute little ribbon as I just wipe her blood back on her body as we just walk off

"Should I burn her" Rory says

"We don't want tributes knowing we are close by, there are five in the same town" I say I want to kidnap Aurelia now but it's about patience it's not the right time and I'm worried Rory will get jealous we want to spend as much time together before I bring her, because then my sole attention will be on my forever girl and I don't want my best friend getting jealous because he is always my number one I would kill a million people for him

We just slowly walk through the maze I'm shocked no one has attack us yet we haven't really tried to be quiet or try to hid, if anything we be loud so people can hear us, we want to test them see how stupid they are but none of them are stupid we scared them, I don't like being feared, I try to be a good person yes my methods are different but this world it isn't a nice world to live in being at peace or in heaven it's a lot better then living

The ones who don't understand that get burned, Rory just grabs me as we hear footsteps, as the ones just run past, Cedric falling over I just roll my eyes, I should kill him he wants my girl but I can't, he or levin need to be Victor and if something does happen to me because it still can I want him to look after her

"I'm sorry dude, I'm sorry" Cedric murmurs

"Don't stress, let's just get back into the town" Levin says, they are getting warmer to the nines, everyone is bit who is the next to fall probably Winston we should kill bom, but I don't feel like it I think I'm going to retire from being a doctor, it's been a very hard job this past few years and I believe I deserve a break, u have done well, I have been almost a Nobel citizen I would have won the Nobel peace prize if wasn't reaped but for not I'm just going to be a killer no more helping people, but maybe I won't kill anyone let the others do that

Rory still keeps a hold on me "Which one should win" he asks

"I don't know yet, one's a knight and one's a fool, it's obvious which one can win but who should that's another question" I say, I really couldn't give a fuck robe honest as long as Kylian and Declan suffer, as long as I get my forever girl and we go to peace together and Rory and I die together it doesn't matter who wins, it doesn't matter what happens fuck panem and fuck this life

I just wanted a world where me hs my best friend can just help the world together but then they thought they would throw us in here they would have expected more bloodshed but we don't kill for people, we kill for ourselves I don't kill it killing I call it helping, we just slowly start walking again as I make sure I have junior in a hand in case we get ambushed Dashy gave us a fight no one else did I respect him for that bit it now means we have to be on high alert in case someone else goes to attack us, I don't know why they haven't

Declan would if he did kill Mabel he lost it maybe before I kill him I should give him my number in case he even wanted to talk I am a psychologist after all I know how to fix people, it's sad his so unstable he could have fun bur insane people deserve ti die lucky I am sane, we make it to the town as we just be careful which our movement, Kylian would be willing to kill us but what his planning I don't know he is the one one not currently in this town I hope he drowned in the swap I know a banshee was hiding under there I heard her sing this morning when ever the banshee sings it means someone will die

Rory just stops me when we get ready to walk into the door

"Locked" I whisper

He just nods, I just bring out a I piece of thing metal easily picking the lock it's a talent of mine I go into victims houses sometimes, I like kidnapping people when they are sleeping nothing more interesting then hearing them scream when they wake up tied to a cold table in a dark room, I just gently open the door

"OH FUCK" Winston shouts jumping up

"Calm down we aren't here to kill you" I say

"You freaks killed Dash" he yells but his smart not to attack there isn't a back door so us blocking the front as him caged in

"We helped Dash, we treated him so much better then poor little Mabel" Rory says

"I thought Declan killed her" he says

"He did, but we found her body, but it doesn't matter here I have a gift for you" I say softly walking over to him he tenses

"It's okay see we just wanted to give you a present nor hurt you" I say just rubbing his shoulder he looks creeped out my my gesture but I smirk I like creepy people out it's a talent of me

He takes the box opening it "You freaks" he yells as he just throws her heart away but creeps onto rhe bourse as Rory stands behind me

"That's rude to throw her heart like that but see this as a gesture of good will you are one of the chosen ones don't ruin it one and I would try revenge if I was you, he beat your little partners face in so bad nothing was left they are at the diner down the road wait until tomorrow, you have a nice night now" I say he just stands there stunned as Rory waves at him and we walk out his quick to lock the door again I'm surprised he didn't attack us bit his smart or his scared of us either way he made the smart move we look around the town finding a dark cabe at the end I like dark caves

There is something peaceful about it

The best thing about our plan is even if everyone is here, this town is huge the ones they are on the opposite side of where Winston and the nines are so when we try to burn them to ash they hopefully eith see the fire

"You think he will take the bait" Rory says

"Maybe it not someone else will pick him off and we will just be waiting to pick up the pieces" I smirk

"I am getting scared about our end game what if it doesn't go as plan what if one of us die before hand" he says we feel so invincible that it never really crossed my mind that one of us can die before we plan if

"We won't" I say

"You don't know that though" he says I just grab his hand

"I promise you it's us to the end us until we die no one can break that and if they did they will suffer in so many ways" I say he just wraps his arm around me as I just replay the favour, he can die before me and I can die before him, and that terrifies me.
