Out At Sea (Open)

Naida

Naida was taken slightly by surprise, it wasn't everyday you met someone like Ryan. "You would have liked my brother, you two would've had a lot in common." Lightening flashed and the thunder rumbled. Naida looked at the dark sky through the window, she knew the waves on the ocean would be dangerous right now. She was thankful they'd gotten to the docks when they had or else they could have been out there on the dangerous waters. Even the best swimmers were struggle trying to swim to shore.

"Good thing we got into the docks when we did..." Naida grabbed the flowers she had set aside for Raiden's grave and began tying the stems into an intricate net design. She was using her fishing skills to make a net of flowers to put on her brother's grave.

Naida-

Naida smiled, "Thanks. It's just like making the fishing nets but using flowers. I figure it's been so long since I've been to his grave I should do something special. Maybe I'll bring his favorite book of songs and sing to him for a little bit." She knew she probably sounded completely out of her mind, singing to dead people. But she was crazy, she'd lost her sanity, her sanity died with Raiden and Alba. Naida finished weaving the white roses into a net before weaving the single red rose into the center. She swore when Alba's body was buried back in D4 she'd bring flowers to her grave and sing to her too. And she'd do everything she could to help Alba's poor father. Naida remembered when Ilayda was born and all four kids were together with there parents before anything had gone wrong. When Raiden died all the community had been very sympathetic but it could never bring him back. And Naida knew Alba's killer was her own district counterpart, Shanks. He seemed remorseful about the kill but that didn't stop the rage towards him. She wished he would win though, so that Alba's death wouldn't be in vain. And so that he would have to face the rest of his District after killing the beautiful girl from his District, and she'd want to have a word with him for sure. But deep down she almost, felt bad for him, being alive with that blood and guilt on him would be hell on earth. Naida froze for a moment with the thought before forcing it out of her mind.

Naida

Naida sighed, "The boy who killed Naida is from our district. I bet she never saw the attack coming. I didn't think Shanks was so cruel as to attack his District counterpart. Granted he did throw up and cry while stroking her while she died. I hope Shanks wins... So that Alba's death won't have gone in vain, and so that Shanks will have to face the people from his home after he'd killed the sweet, beautiful girl from his home." She still couldn't believe it. Raiden's killer had been another guy from another district. The death still hurt her hurt just as much of course, he was her brother. But it made his killer seem less evil than Shanks.

Naida

Naida nodded while taking a shaky breath, "He had plenty of targets to choose from with only 2 dead at that point. And he went for her. At least Alba got to die without having to have taken someone else's life first. My brother kept his District partner alive as long as possible until she was ambushed getting water and stabbed to death, my brother quickly killed her attacker. But I guess not everyone is like that." Naida shivered and moved closer to the fire, clutching the blanket.

Naida

Naida drapped her net of flowers over the back of a rocking chair until she'd bring it to her brother's grave. "It was bad. But I guess I shouldn't keep focusing on how sad their death was and more on how happy their lives were." She smiled a little. "I remeber when my fishing spear was bigger than I was and I kept insisting to Raiden I could use it just fine. I ended up knocking him into the water with it."
