TAG: For Imo and Peanut NOTES:Peanut-Jellogirl WORDS: 381

I stand by the fence, waiting, in the chilly air, for Anxo to come. We had just met, and I'm anxious to get into wrestling... now. We've decided to team up and find Sapphire, but I know where she is. She's in the clearing, waiting to fight. Maybe even on her way, we take seperate entrances to avoid coming in contact with eachother during fights.

I breath a cloud, then walk over to the cart by the uniform station, and buy some blueberries. I snack on them, waiting for Anxo, but she's still not here. Ditcher. I give the empty bag to the man at the cart, and dip under the hole in the fence. Then, turning around to look at the man, say "If a girl comes, looking by the fence - tell her to just walk stright forward when she enters." He nods his head, and I turn back around.

I walk forward, making my way to the clearing. Hopefully she won't get lost here. It's pretty forward, no turns, and nothing in the way. Sapphire and I made sure of that, so we could find the place even in our most angered, beaten, or ecstatic conditions.

I can't climb trees, but I can sit on tall rocks. I use some ledges to make my way onto the top of a boulder, and sit there. Between the clearing and the forest, where I can watch for Sapphire and Anxo at the same time. I hum Sapphire's favorite tune in my head, wondering what the words meant. She had taught it to me, it was French, some old language, but she refused to tell me the english version for some reason.

Suddenly, I hear her singing pierce through the quietness.

"Et quand serons-nous sages?
Jamais, jamais, jamais!
Et quand serons-nous sages?
Jamais, jamais, jamais!"

Startled, I slide on the rock, but regain my my balance when she steps in. The thought passes through me again that Anxo wouldn't come, but I also hear a rustling behind me, and someone's eyes. Someone's eyes, must be Anxo, but you never know.

"La terre nourrit tout,
La terre nourrit tout
Les sages, les sages,
La terre nourrit tout,
La terre nourrit tout
Les sages et les fous."

I breath slower, and turn around to see whats behind me. Sure enough, there is someone. "Anxo, is that you?" I whisper.

She and Blueberry didn’t exactly set up a specific time to meet but, never the less, she was running late.
Her father hadn’t returned to the store after his council meeting, which was a really good thing, since she was pretty sure Caret, her coworker, was planning to rat her out. Or maybe it was Jewel-Lee. Either way it was bound to happen. Today, tomorrow, someone would let her father in on her plans. It always happened. Her entire life, Anxo had been watched, stalked, prevented from living a life other than the one her father had planned for her.
Not tonight She Promised herself as she locked the door to her room and gave herself a once over in the mirror.
Anxo didn’t exactly have what she would call ‘fighting clothes’. Her closet was probably unlike many of the other residences of the District, as it consisted of more dresses and fashions found in the capitol rather than work and outing clothes befitting to a district resident. But Anxo did her best.
She pulled out a pair of red jeans she had, that probably weren’t the best colour to wear if you were trying not to get caught, and a large white shirt with nonsense written on it. The girl in the mirror looked nothing like someone planning on watching some wrestling out in the forest but maybe that was a good thing.
whatever
It was time for her to go.
Anxo pulled up the window and carefully climbed out. With as often as she snuck out, climbing was a snitch for her. All she had to worry about was not being seen. At least until she made it out the back gate.
Once she actually made it thru, the rest of the trip was easy.
Soon enough she found herself at the fence. Alone.
damn it! She was late and Blueberry left without her.
Anxo knew she was late but she had hoped the girl would wait for her. apparently it was too much to hope.
Anxo had spotted the hole in the fence and was tempted to sneek into the forest and try to find the girl anyway. She had told Blueberry she’d be here and could only imagine what the girl would think of her if she just didn’t show up. loser, liar, pathetic…
But how was Anxo going to find her? it was a forest, a big wild forest that stretched for miles. An would most likely be mauled to death by a predator than find the girl from the shop.
As she debated with herself, Anxo wandered over to a cart where a man was packing up the fruits he was selling. “excuse me sir, are-“
”she went that way.” he said, cutting her off mid sentence.
“pardon me?” Anxo had intended to ask about the fruit, not about the girl so she was a bit startled and nervous that he would seem to know what she was thinking, what she was here for.
”the girl.” he said. ”she went there, said straight.”
uh.. Anxo glanced nervously in the direction the man pointed and back at him, wondering if he really knew or if he was just trying to get her into trouble. But why would he do that? He didn’t know her and therefore had no reason to mislead her. right?
Before she could get more information from the man, he was packed up and already moving. “uh.m.. thank you.” She called after him, but he didn’t’ not give her the courtesy of waving. In fact, he seemed as if he wanted to get out of there as soon as possible.
That made Anxo nervous. Earlier, Blueberry had made it sound like going into the woods was a normal thing, gave no hint to it being wrong or against the law. But, all her life, her father had told her exactly that; it was wrong, bad, illegal. She wanted to defy her daughter but she didn’t want to break the law.
reckless. Completely reckless. she muttered in her head, scolding herself as she made her way to the whole in the fence and slipped thru.
There was no turning back. Once she was thru the whole, Anxo darted into the cover of the trees. straight ahead she reminded herself, afraid to actually say anything aloud in this place.
She was far from comfortable here, far from. Every crunch or snap, of twigs and leaves under her boots, seemed too loud. There were odd noises in this place, sounds she wasn’t used to hearing. And then there was a sound she knew; singing. Someone was singed straight ahead of her.
Anxo moved closer to the sound. “B-Blue berry?” she called, her voice catching in her throat. “It’s Anxo?” She was not confident, not confident at all.

TAG: for who? NOTES: notes WORDS: xxx

I look, and there, looking very frightened, is Anxo. Perfect timing. Sapphire stops singing and looks around. "Just attack when I say attack." I tell Anxo, and gain footing on the boulder. "3...2..1.. attack!" I whisper, then jump forward.

I know for certain I land about a meter away from Sapphire, and she's taken by surprise. "Gotcha!" I yell at her, and she takes out her knife. "Thought I'd come unarmed?" She asks, and I pull out mine. "Nope." I say. Lunging at her, she takes a hit on the head before stopping me.

She points at the rock, "Someone's here." She says. I look back at Anxo, "Anxo come out." I yell. I hear some shuffling, and Sapphire looks at me suspicously. "Who's Anxo?" She asks, and I roll my eyes. "A girl." I say, and she just raises an eyebrow. She makes her way to the rock, with her knife out. "Come out, come out, wherever you are... Little Anxo.... you scared?" She taunts, and I let out a small laugh.

Attack? Anxo was confused, for a moment, and when Blueberry started counting, she started panicking. Attack who? What? Where??
She glanced around frantically, not daring to make a sound or move, for fear that someone or something was out there.
As Blueberry leaped, tackling someone or something else, and drew a blade of some sort, Anxo gasped and pulled herself behind the closest boulder. She was hiding, covering her face with her hands, wanting to be out of there.
Blueberry had told her there would be wrestling but attacking? With weapons? i knew i shouldn't have come!! she repeated over and over, afraid and very much regretting breaking her father's rule this time. What was she doing there? She did not belong in a place like that, in that kind of situation.
When she heard Blueberry call her name, Anxo gulped and almost did not come out from behind the rock. It was not until the other one asked, taunted her for being afraid that she responded at all. "She didn't tell me you would have weapons." she told the girl she didn't know.
Despite the unknown girl's mockery, Anxo was not ashamed to be afraid.
As the two laughed, she peered out from behind the rock. "Is it always like this?"
She must have looked funny to them, being as scared as she was but An was not raised like many of the other district kids. She didn't know how to fight at all, apart from what her brother had taught her to defend herself. And even then she was sure it would do little good with these two girls.

"Of course it is, duh." I say, rolling my eyes, and drag her from behind the boulder. "Come on, wuss." Sapphire says tauntingly, and I smile. "Yes, lets fight." I tell her, handing her my extra knife.

Sapphire and I back up so there are four meters between us all. It's a perfect triangle. It's a split second before I realize whats happening. I'm aiming for Anxo! I turn my position away from her, mouthing to myself, "Oops" and prepare for Sapphire. I do notice though, that Sapphire isn't going for me. She's going for Anxo....

When she says go, I shuffle around, I can either prove I have feelings or let Sapphire attack. It's only about three seconds before I make my decision. Positioning for Anxo, I take off, knocking Sapphire to the ground. I'm on top of her. "Whats wrong with you?!" She shrieks at me, and I pin her down with my knees, and jam on knee into her stomache. "Just like you," I jab my knee farther, "To attack the defensless." My knee goes higher, and she shrieks. "You do it to! To children!" She screams at me, I jab it still further, "I threaten, I never harm." Turning to Anxo, I realize Sapphire and I are in the middle of a long needed fight.

"I'm sorry you had to see this, Anxo." I say softly, and grab my knife. Sapphire's eyes glow in terror, but I don't kill her as I could, perfectly easy in my position. No, instead I stick the knife in the tree above us, and stand up. "Next time I'll be 'dead' serious." I mutter, and go to Anxo. "Sorry I brought you." I say.

Anxo stared at the knife in her hand, barely able to make herself hold the thing. It was a real knife, to cut and harm people. That was clearly what Blueberry intended for her to do. Was she serious? Anxo had never held a knife like this in her life!
Though there were some pieces in the store that were knives, those were decorative and commemorative pieces, not anything to use in a fight! What was Anxo supposed to do?
“I-I..” I can’t fight! She wanted to say, to protest. I don’t know how!! But she couldn’t seem to form the words.
An stared, like a deer caught in the headlights, at the two girls as they got ready for their attack. And they were going to attack her! Anxo was terribly afraid.
Though she managed to close her hand around the hilt of the blade, her hand was shaking so bad she had to use two hands so the thing would not fall out of her grasp.
But as she was worrying about herself, her safety, her life, Blueberry launched herself at the other girl and took her down quick.
Anxo gasped and dropped the knife. She had never seen such violence like this outside the Games, and even then, it was on tv. The fight between the two girls was real life, right in front of her.
“I-” Anxo shook her head. She couldn’t manage to speak just yet. It was just all so intensely shocking. She had thought these two girls were friends, but they were fighting like enemies. Why was she here? Why had she come?
This was far from anything she had expected and yet she had no idea what she had expected to begin with. “I... I think I should get home.” She managed, meekly.

A bigger frown crosses my face. Yep, just like I should've known from the very start of our meeting. A pure scaredy-cat. Just like Nettie. I nod my head full of annoyance, "Okay, lets go." I put my hand on her back and lead her away. After taking a few steps, I hear some moving around. Rolling my eyes I get my knife ready for an attack. I push Anxo harder. Hard enough to make her stumble. When I see something out of the corner of my eye run out, I push Anxo completely forward and dash to Sapphire.

"Oh you made a huge mistake," I say through gritted teeth, looking for her, as she had concealed herself somewhere, "I'd almost think you were more scared than Anxo." I smile, and talking to Anxo, but looking for Sapphire, I say, "Yes Anxo, I've noticed your expressions." I find Sapphire, but pretend to not notice her. "Oh Sapphire, I bet you wouldn't even be willing to try for a real fight."

I know I've hit a weak spot, because even she can't hold back from something as exciting as a real fight. "I am." She says, accepting the challenge. A humongous grin spreads across my face, "If Anxo joins." The grin melts away. Anxo would never join in on a true fight. One where she'd be expected to use a weapon on either Sapphire or me. "It's okay Blue," She says, "You two team up and I'll use an axe. It's pretty fair, you two with either swords or knives and me with a powerful axe." I know where this is headed, she looks to bash both our heads in. I won't let her.

"Oh Sapphire, you've always been so conditional." I say, apparing in a way that she'll know I can see her. I see a look of alarm on her face, but only for an instant. A small, ridiculous instant. A laugh escapes my lips, "It's up to Anxo, if she doesn't want to fight I won't force her. And, with the assumption she's new to this, she gets any weapon she's comfortable with. And two days with me so she can at least know a little." I turn to Anxo, "What do you say? I'll teach you as much as I can, and maybe you'll actually prove to us you aren't a pure wimp." It's cold, I know, and highly unlikely she'll accept, but there is always the hope of a change in character.

[OOC: Goodness, Peanut is getting so frusterated about the computer. She'll be back on soon because she's nearly ungrounded, and begged for a battle. I've only ever done one, and it was in just-for-fun. I think we should do that one in just-for-fun as well, because I don't like dead charries. XD Anyways, reaction and then we wait and see. If you don't want to continue go ahead, and I'll console Peanut into making HER reaction post. BTW: She wants to start. -sigh- We roleplay so much, but your such a good roleplayer]

Anxo let out a small grunt as she stumbled. The force in which Blueberry pushed her was harder than she’d been handled by anyone other than her father. Though her father no longer beat her when she misbehaved, because she rarely did and when she did they were so minor it wasn’t worth his effort to punish, An still remembered how hard and rough he was.
Before she could even recover, though, Blueberry pushed her again, sending her to the ground, scraping the palm of her hand against a rock or a twig, something. Anxo let out a whimper and tried to push herself up. The two girls were crazy and the longer she was out there, the more regret she felt for ever agreeing to come.
Even when Blueberry started accusing her of being scared, Anxo didn’t deny it. Who wouldn’t be scared of tow dangerous girls with knives, going at it in the middle of the woods!!! She did her best to ignore the berating and inspected her scratch. It was nothing grotesque or even note worthy, aside from the fact that it stung a bit.
Only when Blueberry challenged Sapphire, the second girl, to a ‘real’ fight, did Anxo show interest, and shock. real fight? Wasn’t it already a real fight? How much more real can you get? They had knives!
what is going on?? She stared at Blueberry, not even able to see the other crazy girl. What is happening? “you..” she stuttered. “You want-Why do you want me to fight?” An looked toward the place she assumed stood the other girl, her voice shaking with a mix of fear and anger. Anxo was actually a lot angrier than she was afraid. These girls were picking on her and she didn’t know why! “Why do you want to fight me?- I don’t even know you!”
Why do you want to kill me!!
Anxo was shaking, she was so upset, but it did little good considering she was still sitting on the ground, clutching her scarped hand, looking rather pathetic.

I watch as Sapphire stumbles with her words, I myself didn't actually feel like hurting Anxo. I liked her a bit, if only a small bit. "Because you came." Sapphire says. I rub my forehead and roll my eyes. "Sapphire, Anxo doesn't want to fight, don't make her." I say, and take Anxo's arm as to lead her away. I try not to shove her as hard as I did before, even though I feel like bursting with anger at Sapphire. She runs behind us and I turn around, ready to ward her off. "Go away." I say, and she holds up her hands. "Hey, hey, no harm meant!" She says. She stands next o Anxo, and I keep an eye on her.

"You know, Anxo, you remind me a lot of Blue's sister." Sapphire says, looking at me with a smirk. It is true, Anxo is like Nettie. "Don't say that," I say, "Anxo wouldn't even care to meet Nettie, while she would run right up to her and hsake her hand." I mimick Nettie, "Oh hi there! I'm Nettie! Wanna be my friend?" I laugh a bit with Sapphire. I'm trying to loosen the mood for Anxo before she goes. I don't want to leave her on an off note. Reaching the end of the forest, I turn to her, "Well, it was very interesting being with you for now. If you ever want to do something - without Sapphire - just ask." I say. "Hey!" Sapphire yells, annoyed.

[OOC: Alrightsee, guesssss whattt? Peanut is ungrounded and I can stop posting for her! Wipee! Hopefully she'll be getting on later tonight (my time) to post! No telling how crazy she'll be XD So you can either post now or wait until she does, up to you]
