District 10 Female Tribute

73rd Hunger Games

Bailey Truus

There is nothing to fear if you don't fear death.

Sweat and grime clean to Bailey's skin like flies to a freshly butchered corpse. Any feeling of life that once flowed through the rivers of Bailey's blood is all but gone. Any beating sensation in her chest that reminded her of another day was killed. Although even before departing for the blood stained city had Bailey's emotions become numb, only now did her body physical take on the same response. She felt no urge to breathe or to preserve the functions that kept her moving. On a biological level her cells were dividing and thriving, but on an psychic stance she was deteriorating into a walking version of death. Her eyes fluttered in response to things but her synapses did snap. One by one her systems were shutting down all from the place they stem. Her brain. No longer was it just Esme who was dead, but internally so was Bailey. Perhaps in the end it would be easier that way, then it wouldn't hurt as badly to leave those who still some what mattered behind to the suffering of life.

As the steaming streams of scalding water raced across Bailey's beaten body, broken thoughts continued to berate her mind. Darkness invaded her from all entrances leaving only the bleakest of thoughts surviving its purge. Bailey was only 18 years old yet she felt as though she had been fighting and 18 year long war. Deaths riddled every corner of her memory followed by waves of sorrow. People died all around her and she watched with her mouth wide. But that was no longer the case. Now it was her turn, her time to face the final judgement day. No one could save her from this challenge, and she didn't want anyone too anyway.

Eventually all the sweat and the grime ran off of Bailey's body leaving a dark pool around her drain as her hand switched the water off. Bailey's bare body was welcomed by an embrace of cool air when she emerged from the shower. Bailey didn't spend too long freely unclothed before wrapping a towel around her body and brushing her wet tangled hair. However it was just as she was setting down her brush that she heard the slightest of creaking just outside her door.

Raising an eyebrow Bailey swiftly pulled the door open as clouds of steam rolled into her room. A gasp nearly slipped out of Bailey's mouth as she saw the boy from District Five standing before her with red covering his cheeks. At first Bailey didn't know what to say or how to react but she figured it was better to show bravery than fear. So taking a leap of faith and an attempt at avoiding embarrassment Bailey walked forward to the boy. Then in a swift second she opened her towel before re-wrapping it around both him and herself. It was only in this position with her exposed body against his clothes tightly wrapped in a towel that she looked him straight in the eyes and spoke.

"If you wanted to take a shower with me you could have just asked instead of sneaking through my room."
