The silence was overwhelming. All alone… Only a short time ago had Jana met Killian, and then watched him die. She watched someone else die, and didn’t do much of anything to stop it from happening. That guilt is what had kept her up all night. Seeing his face in the sky haunted her. It was as if the Capitol was broadcasting her own failure back at her. Why hadn’t she done anything? Because she was useless. In these Games her only talent was avoiding death at the cost of others. Not once during the Blood Bath had she been attacked. Not once during the fight from yesterday had a weapon touched her. Only the healing wound on her arm reminded her that she’d been in any danger at all. None of the other tributes seemed to even realize she was alive and well. Despite having little in the way of injuries, and a decent supply of things, the redhead was still not a challenger for the title of victor. She’d known it all along. Quite honestly how she’d even made it this far was beyond her comprehension. The sleepless night had been completely unproductive. Not even leaving the cornucopia. Not enough energy to care about what waiting around here could bring. Try to sleep in the mouth of the golden horn had brought little in the way comfort. The sand scratched and irritated Jana to no end. There wasn’t anything like this sand back home. It was dry and constantly shifting. Then there was that strange shock wave. It hadn’t hurt so much as it scared her. The seventeen year old probably leaped four feet straight into the air when it hit. Some sort of comic relief for the Capitol…

The dryness of the sand left her mouth feeling the same way. It had taken Jana a moment to remember that she had boiled water back before Killian was dead… All of the memories before today Jana tried to dump out of her mind. They meant nothing now. Carefully brining the jug up to her mouth she began to drink slowly, only to end up gulping the whole thing down in a matter of moments. Really she had not realized how thirsty she was. Other things had taken priority over worrying about herself. Every move she made she had to consciously think about it. Time to eat. Your need to drink now. It’s time to rest. Things she would normally say to a small child like Ayane, she was now saying in her own mind just to get through the day. The thought of the small girl yanked viciously on her heart strings. Was she watching the Games? Had she seen her caretaker fail to do anything to help a dying friend? What was going to happen to her when Jana died? All these question she had no answer to. Would most likely never have an answer to. Looking up at the sky a vague thought popped into her head. Were the cameras watching her now? Most likely no. There was bound to be something more exciting than a single girl sitting in the sand, looking terribly confused.

How she didn’t see it coming with nothing but sand all around Jana didn’t know. But she could hear a distinct growling sound from behind her. Flailing desperately, she grabbed her knife and struggled to her feet. Sand flew in all directions. Forest green eyes widened at the sight of the mutt. It was a cat of some sort. Only bigger, stronger, more terrifying, and with a distinct desire to kill her. The little knife in her hand seemed to be a joke compared to the claws and teeth that adorned the big cat. ”Nice kitty… You’re a good kitty cat.” Reasoning with a mutt would have no effect, but treating it like a common house cat somehow made the task of fighting it seem a little more manageable. Only difference was if it was a house cat she could drown it or break its neck with no trouble. This beast would not take kindly to either of those ideas. She would need a miracle to be able to kill it even with a weapon like a sword. Fighting with a knife seemed hopeless. But then again, her situation in these Games had always been hopeless. Lacking all finesse of a seasoned fighter the small framed girl closed her eyes and lashed out at the mutt with her feeble blade.

Raja had been prowling. She was one of the few hellcats who lived alone - most traveled with one other partner, at least - but she still defended her territory viciously with tooth and claw, and part of that job meant patrolling her borders to make sure there were no intruders. Over the past few days, this had become difficult, for suddenly there were humans everywhere, as if suddenly someone had let them out of their cages to infest territory that didn't belong to them. Well, didn't that happen a lot? Of course it did. But Raja had never expected it would happen to her.

The golden horn was hers, her den, her hideaway, and the lithe feline was tired of it being disturbed. It had all started two sunrises ago, when she'd been rudely awakened by a number of strange humans loading her den full of all sorts of assorted items that did not belong there. Furious, she'd tried to attack, but they'd injected some alien substance into her posterior and the hellcat had awoken hours later somewhere in the sands a few hundred yards away, just in time to watch as a swarm of humans - young ones - ran towards her den and began to claw at each other fiercely. Raja watched the duration of the scene with narrowed eyes and claws itching to jump in, but she knew better than that; a battle against this many humans was not one she could win. She could, however, wait, biding her time until there was merely a human or two that she could take down alone easily. And then she'd leave the corpse, mangled on the ground, and all the others would know never to set foot here again.

Waiting had taken longer than expected. Two sunrises later she was installed back in her golden den, but still patrolling regularly for humans. There had been plenty passing by, but none had been alone; that was what she was waiting for. They all fought each other, but only one would have the privilege of fighting her. And losing. It would happen soon, she knew it.

And then, all of the sudden it happened. A human female, solo, unaware. Raja charged. The human flailed at her with its own claw, making contact - but no matter. She'd soon pay. They all would pay.

Filler because I have Regents tomorrow and Wednesday, as well as a horse show coming up and want to keep this thread moving along.

Jana is terrified of Raja. Continues to try to talk to her like a house cat because Jana is clueless. Mean kitty cat bites her with huge mutt teeth. Ouch. Flail at that mutt! Flailing is always the answer.

Although she didn't like to admit it, the second hit sent spine-tingling pain through the feline's compact body, and she howled and hissed and spat in frustration and anguish, livid with this human thing for inflicting pain she had not thought it capable of. How was it that this little thing, clearly scared out of its wits, was making a fool out of a muttation so clearly built to kill? Well, not for much longer. Newly determined, Raja shook it off, ignoring the blood - in fact, only letting it fuel her more - and pounced once again.

For a mutt as fearsome as the one that stood before her, Jana was pleasantly surprised at how well she was fairing against it. Sure it wasn't close to dead yet, but it had to leg wounds that were bound to slow it down. If she could just stay out of the way of it's claws and teeth than just maybe she could come out of this alive. Blood trickled down her left arm from the mark the cat had left with its huge teeth. That could wait until later. Jana had received more painful injuries working in the lumber yard than from this kitty. Slowly a sense of confidence in her ability to survive was coming back. The forests of District Seven were crawling with fearsome beasts as well. Only difference was that this one was genetically altered to be a blood thirsty child killer.

The lithe feline leaped at her again. Terror over took her as white teeth drew close to her face. So close that despite trying to duck away a razor sharp tooth skimmed across her cheek. Hissing in pain she held a hand to her face for a moment, before pulling it away with her blood on it. If those teeth had been a little closer, or she had been any slower in response than her whole skull could have ended up being crushed in the beast's jaws. "Now now kitty. Was that really necessarily? I mean you could just let me go on my merry way and then drink a bowl of milk or do whatever felines here do..." To anyone listening and watching the idea seemed insane. Reasoning with a mutt? Unheard of. But needless to say Jana had a few loose screws at this point.

Well if the kitty wasn't going to leave her alone the easy way then she'd have to keep fighting. Keep pushing her luck. She took a firm grip on her knife and got the best running start at the mutt that the sand would allow. Still she couldn't seem to attack properly, and instead her eyes shut once more and her arm followed with a random slashing motion.

Raja was not doing as well as she should have been, and this irritated her to no end. The hellcat was used to pouncing on her prey and tearing it limb from limb, ripping in to shreds, not being subject to the wrath of its own claws. Granted, the human's last hit hadn't been anything to be proud of - just a tiny cut on the feline's bicep - but neither had any of her own. You can do better than this. Come on! This is your territory, now defend it. Raja reminded herself once again of why she'd attacked: to ensure that no humans ever set foot on her territory again. She had to succeed. She simply had to. So once again, she pounced.

Her knife barely broke the mutts skin. Jana cringed. That attack was going to do little more than piss off the creature that stood before her. Still, there was no reason to panic yet. The mutt hadn't landed any solid hits either. Weren't the Capitols beasts supposed to be the strongest and most furious in all of Panem. Quite honestly the redhead knew if this were one of the bears from back home she would have been dead long ago. Perhaps the mutt was purposely drawing this out, playing with its dinner... Could mutts even think that way? Did they make conscious decisions, or were they preset to do whatever the Gamemakers wanted? A pang of sorrow hit Jana in the chest. The mutant feline that stood before her was a pawn in these Games just like all the remaining tributes. Its life meant nothing to its creators.

The fleeting moment of sadness was brought to and end when teeth grazed her left arm. Did everyone really have to attack her arms? She would be lucky if she still had both arms by the end of this fight. A lost limb out here was basically a death sentence. If another tribute or mutt didn't take advantage of your weakened state and kill you, then infection would. Every little thing brought you centimeters closer to death in this arena. The scratches she'd received were minimal. But they would build on each other. If she received enough wounds like these then it would be almost the same as one giant gash. This had to end quickly before things got to that point. This next attack had to have a little more strength behind it and a little less 'hope for the best' attitude. Slashing her blade in the direction of the mutt Jana managed to keep her eyes open this time, still the attack was hardly focused and deliberate.

To the feline's credit, the human was certainly losing some of her initial fervor, a fact proven by her weaker attacks as the fight went on. Raja could taste her blood - little traces of it, not enough to satisfy her, but certainly enough to taunt her into wanting more. Because to a hellcat, the taste of blood was the precise taste of revenge, the perfect punishment for trespassing on territory that did not belong to you. Raja fought for blood, and she fought hard. And she would most definitely continue on fighting as long as it took.

Now things were looking bad. The mutt's last to attacks on her were deep and excruciatingly painful. Just as she seemed to be losing her strength, the mutt was finally beginning to go in for the killer. It wouldn't be much longer now. There was no feeling of surprise or panic. Jana knew. She had known all along that she was no mutt for something engineered to kill. But the seventeen year old wasn't one to give in without a fight. The least she could do is to keep beating on this beast until she died. Make it suffer as much she was, as much as other tributes were bound to. "You know what kitty. I think you've won. We both know I can't keep this up much longer..." The confession of defeat feel on nobody's ears but her own and the creature who didn't care what she said or didn't say.

Blood poured from her arm and back, soaking through her clothing. The fabric was turning red and clinging to her pale skin. The crimson on ivory was a lovely contrast though... Her knife was coated in the mutt's blood. Turning it over in her hand a few times, a small sense of pride helped distract her from the pain. No matter where the fight went from here, she hadn't just laid down and let the monster kill her. It would leave with wounds as well. And that was more than she could have hoped for. Glancing up she locked eyes with the mutt. This was something you should never do to a wild animal. But Jana didn't care. Not any more. Maybe blood lose had something to do with it, but a calmness seemed to set in. The world slowed just a fraction."Alright. Let's get this over with. I'm sick of looking at your ugly face." There was no closing of her eyes this time either, no halfhearted strike. It was a deliberate attack, both hands on the hilt of the knife.

Stabbed in Eye -- 40 damage

Her blade drove directly into the eye of the mutt, sinking into the brain. That would do it. That would finally bring this whole nightmare to an end. Hands shaking, Jana yanked the knife from her opponents eye socket. The actually eye was no longer recognizable as such. Little Jana, the tiny girl from Seven had actually killed the formidable creature before her. When she needed it most a second burst of strength had come. Laughter erupted from her throat. "Take that you stupid kitty cat! I win!" The sheer joy of being alive while this mutt wasn't only temporarily made her forget her pain. Then it crept back up on her. Her back and arm hurt like hell. Plopping down on the sand she went to work fixing herself up.
