She had closed her eyes.
It was only for a minute she could swear.
But by the time she opened her eyes, the sun had began to peak atop the horizon, and worst of all-
Elise was gone.
Panic began to take over her body as she whipped her head around frantically searching for the only ally, and friend, she had left. Elise wouldn't just leave her there to die, would she? No, just last night the two were painting each other's nails. Leonora hadn't even realized that they had begun chipping, but Elise was always noticing even the smallest details. She took the time and patience to teach her how to dye her nails with the blueberries. And she was right - they did smell like blueberries. Leo had only wanted to rest her eyes for a minute, but as if by magic she had her best sleep in the arena so far.
And now her friend was nowhere to be found.
She managed to fuck something up again.
Typical.
Pixies flutter around her face as she begins to search for her ally.
"Elise? Elise!?" She called out as she looked behind every tree and bush in sight. The pixies crept closer and she took the back of her hand and attempted to swat them away. "Can you all-" she began, but then she decided to listen.
"Come. Come with us, we can take you to her."
And without another word she followed them blindly.
They were her last hope.
And she cared enough to take a chance.
A few minutes later the familiar shapes of the Cornucopia began to appear. Most notedly, the mysterious portal that whispered the closer she got. The green grove was covered in red flowers, a field now filled with its own blood. Leo was so focused on her goal that she almost didn't notice the other tributes that entered, she tried to turn on her heel, but it was too late. Thorns sprout from the ground, trapping them inside. A large, heavenly figure, covered in patches of luscious green grass with flowers sprouting, a crown of brambles intertwined with sunflower petals, and eyes as bright as the sun. Leonora stares in awe.
Until she finally speaks.
"Pay your price." Her hand motions at the three bags under the archway, and Leo understands what they must do.
"Well, four minus one is three. That's very unfortunate for one of you,"
She doesn't care about what might be in the bag, hell she doesn't even care if she barely makes it out alive. All she knew was that she needed to get out of this cage, she needed to find Elise.
And she would promise her she would never close her eyes again.
