There's a certain sense of excitement that strikes into Geigers veins, electricity and fire coursing through his fingertips as he hovers over the controls for the Combat Arena, steel and weaponry staring back at him.

It's easy to assume, to disregard, to jump the gun in an eagerness to pull the trigger. Geiger knows this, years spent patiently waiting amongst the whispers of the forest, years spent preparing for the worst and acting accordingly. It's why he's able to hold his judgements as the two fighters step into the ring, their faces appearing on the scoreboard above, health bars close behind.

Truly, if the Games could teach one anything it would be to expect the unexpected. Goliath has slain David, David has slain Goliath, one's size and stature pale in comparison to their desire to live. Just ask any of the Victors, especially the young ones. Torian Vice has a crown of thorns sewn into his head for a reason, after all.

"Fighters, at the ready." His voice sweeps across the arena, trumpeted by the speakers that dot the walls. "First to deplete the other's health wins." He says plainly, then punctuates it with a smirk almost tangible through the microphones. "And remember," The barricades between the two come down, faux-bloodshed vibrating in the air.

"- aim for the throat."

In being here for a week I'm starting to realise I'm not a fighter in the literal sense. And that sure doesn't bode well for me in the long run. Far gone are the days where you could hide away in some secret place, bide your time, wait for the last tribute to come stumbling into your trap. These days they want blood and guts and teeth.

I'm not a fighter in the literal sense, but I'm smart. Kids from Three typically are. I've figured this thing out. The Hunger Games are no place for a girl like me, of the shadows and the dark. They want fighters: heroes and villains and kids in limelight. They want main characters. I came to terms with the fact that I'm a sideline kid long ago. You've got your Victors, your favourites, your Careers. The rest of us just live here.

But I've always had a reason to stay in the dark, spine pressed against plasterboard and brick. Here the walls are cool steel, impenetrable. Out of habit, I lean against them and spend most of my days opting to watch. Curiosity killed the cat and it very well might kill me too - but what's the harm in following a peak of interest? A what if? Pretending to be one of the chosen ones for once in my life.

So unlike me, I peel myself from the wall and nod once at the man that will kill me and all twenty-three of these kids, one way or another. Another at my opponent, strong and lean and beautiful. Made to chew me up and spit me out. Blood, guts, teeth.

"I'll go."

What have I got to lose? I'm already dead.
