I'm tired. I didn't get much sleep, and all I can think about right now is finding a way to make this worth it. I don't quite know what to expect. I spent a lot of time talking to Marik, and I became really close to him. He's offered me advice that others haven't. He's helped me more than my own mentors. He's also started venting to me. He's talked about Lionel and how he's been treating him. He's talked about it so much, and maybe, maybe I can help him. Maybe I can help get Lionel off his back. But how? How can I do that? I'll have to figure it out, but I'll find the district five tributes and personally remove them from the game. Maybe then Lionel will back off. Marik deserves better so does every other victor.
I hate when they give me the VIP badge. I don't know what it's for, and I really hate it. I don't want to be a VIP. I just want to be me. And then I don't know what else to do. I rise into the arena, and I start running away when it's time to begin. I wish I could make it make sense, and I find a place to sit and hide for a moment, to gather myself. I just want to be left alone. That's when Coald approaches me. "Hey, just leave me alone." I warn him. I want him to get away. I want him to stand a chance because he's from twelve, and I don't want to do anything that will upset Marik. I want him to have somewhat of a chance, but Coald stays there. He keeps taking to me. He won't go away. And I don't even care what he has to say. "Please just go away and leave me alone."
"I just thought maybe we could ally?" His question catches me off guard, but more importantly it makes me angry. I need to find Tide. He's the one person I wanted to ally with. He's the one person that I want to find, but it doesn't matter anyway. I take a deep breath; and I feel myself losing a bit of control. This is a time to prove myself. This is a chance to show myself just what I'm made of. But it doesn't seem like it'll work out very well. "I warned you!" I growl as I get onto my feet, and I quickly crush his skull before he even has a chance to think. I'll apologize to Marik if I make it out of here. He's standing in my way, and I want to get moving. I want to do what I can, and now I know I can kill one of the tributes from five.
It hurts my heart though. I really didn't want to do it. I wanted to give him a chance, but it feels like it's too much to think of. And now as I roam around, I don't understand where I'm going to go from here. I move towards the cornucopia to see what all is around, and that's when I see someone else standing around, and maybe he's there for a reason. He doesn't know what I'm capable of. He doesn't know what I just did. But I look around, and I take a deep breath. I keep my distance. "If I were you, I'd back away and leave me alone." Hopefully he heeds my warning. Only time will tell. I'm ready to fight and do what's best for me even if it means ending another life. I take a deep breath again, and I try to relax, but it seems like it'll be hard to do. Maybe time will help me understand where I am.
