Till suddenly it's all gone (Musketeers day 2)

The creatures flying at Aurora and me drop dead with the slash of our weapons, their bodies making a dull thud as they hit the ground dead. They appeared out of the blue from the cornucopia, flying at us with a low hiss. I didn’t even think as I attacked them, I just knew they were trying to kill us and I had to defend myself. My survival instincts took over and before I knew it, we had three meals. I look down at the carcass, feeling slightly guilty, I have always been an animal lover and seeing these three dead at my feet makes my stomach churn. They’re so small and, now that they aren’t attacking us, they’re actually rather cute. They look like a cross between a bat and a cat, both animals combined to make a very interesting combination. I pick up the carcass carefully, feeling the blood run over my hands and I feel like I’m going to be sick. It’s dead, I should just leave it to be decomposed naturally but I can’t do that, I need it for food. Turning to Aurora, I only then realize that she is hurt. One of the Bat/cat creatures got her. I have seen a few tributes poisoned in past games but all of them have received anti-venom. We don’t have anti-venom, this could be an issue. I approach her, holding the carcasses by their tails and fight the urge to launch myself at her with a hug. I have been so worried about her but she’s hurt, I don’t want to hurt her further.

My hands go to work, skinning the creatures and gutting them. I have to swallow back the bile that rises in my throat, the sight of the innards making me feel sick to my stomach. I look at Aurora, feeling relief fill me at the fact that she’s alive, although I shouldn’t be surprised, I didn’t see her face in the sky last night so she must be alive. (You still left her to die when you fled the bloodbath) I ignore the voice, focusing on what I am doing. I have to do a double take when I realize she’s missing an arm, or at least part of her arm. It felt so good to see her before that I must not have noticed.

"Aurora, what happened to you after the blood bath?" I can't help the question that slips through my lips and I instantly regret it because it's a little insensitive I was so worried about her, I can't even describe it. (What the hell are you doing, you were worried about her and that's the first thing you say?) Iris has a point. I sigh before noticing a sword sticking out of the side of the cornucopia. It looks like some sort of weird Japanese sword, there were a few I think in training. A Katana? My hands reach for it, thinking it might be useful.
