I am numb. My feet glide across the ground, a sick squelching reverberating about the arena from last night's rain as my alliance approaches. My hand sways idly by my side, the girl, Magenta's, fan clutched tightly within. The anthem last night was nothing less of painful. To see the face of the girl I'd killed broadcasted in the sky as my alliance huddled together attempting to coax ourselves into an uneasy sleep.
"How do you deal with it?" I turn to Soap, my voice cracking. "I... mean." I shake my head, eyes darting away from the boy who was only a year my elder. The guilt was eating me alive. The feeling of Magenta going limp under my blade still caused my hand to quiver in cruel anticipation. I didn't want more death. I didn't want to kill anyone else.
I don't regret what I did. Throwing myself so willingly into the arena. What I did was not for the girl, who I knew nearly nothing about, apart from her name. I did it for me.
I killed that district nine girl for me.
The wave had taken us all by surprise. A once peaceful sleep interrupted by a harsh torrent of water. It filled my nose and throat, wrapping around me like death itself. I was sure karma had come back to bite me in the ass. That my canon would thunder across the sky for something as utterly stupid as drowning.
But here I am.
Lyric Woulf has lived to see another day.
"You again." I see them approaching, gliding through the air like lazy kites. They bore a close resemblance to the one in which we had fought so long ago.
Only my second day in the arena.
The Lyric then seems like a blissful dream. Concerned only with what horror lies ahead of her, and not the horror that haunts her in her dreams. She hadn't seen what I've seen, and done what I've done. I don't envy her, nor pity her. I simply cannot feel anything for the girl who threw herself into the arena on a whim. Because she felt as though the life she had was not worth living.
"We've got company guys." I grimace and lunge out at the first one I see.
