May took a deep breath. She knew the others were gone she had failed them. Right now though it was her, Jacinda, Siren, and Leon. They needed to keep eachother alive as much as possible. At first she was wary of the other two but they had helped and so long as they all held each other at arms length all would go well. After all you needed allies to get through this and what better allies to have. She heard the anthem start and she looked up towards the direction of the sky. There had been two deaths that she knew off. As the faces of the fallen began to appear she calmed herself completely. As the faces of her allies appeared she couldn't help but inwardly shake a little bit. They had found eachother and gone on without her. She had been saved but that also meant that she hadn't been able to protect. It wasn't her fault but that didn't make it any better.

She had been holding her breath and as the anthem faded she let it out. She hadn't realized she was doing that. Nocturne was still alive at least so far anyways. She wasn't sure how long he'd be alive but it kept her spirits up. They had made it past day one and past the bloodbath. That was all that they needed to do. They had proven that nine was going to at least try to stay on the grid now that they had a victor. It would be a mircle in a half if one of them managed to come out victorious. As much as she wanted Nocturne to survive, she was going to be the one to go home. She just simply had too.

Day two in the arena had started and now it was time to figure out where and who was going to try to kill them next. The group moved cautiously through the desert and back to where the chaos had begun because that was where they had decided to go. They just needed to hold on and perhaps they might find things there they could use. Though she doubted anything was left there. When she had left there were other tributes that seemed to be working together which would mean that it was possible they'd still be there. She put on the brave face and scouted just a little ahead of the group.

In the distance, May sees movement. Something big, but it's not only one of them, there's two. She squints her eyes wondering if it's tributes in the distance. Whatever it is, it's not tributes, and they are heading straight towards her. She tightens the grip on her knife before turning back towards the others hoping they are still following and not going to leave her hanging. She charges straight for the mutt eyes growing wider as it comes into view. This thing is definitely not human with it's two heads.

Where is Charlie? Has she even survived the day? Did the bloodbath take her out? What about Owen? Did he survive? It's impossible to know where one has ran after the bloodbath was over, spotting Siren after the madness was a relief. Blood caked against the delicate skin, who's blood is a mystery. It could belong to Leon, but it could belong to the other tributes who he kissed with the blade of his knife slicing open the skin. Bandages cover the wound on his arm stitched together with a needle given to him graciously by Siren. He found her, or she found him, but it doesn't matter because Leon cares about her, but staying with her hasn't brought him anywhere closer to finding his allies.

Did the three of them make out together? Aelia, Charlie, Owen? Are they running through the arena looking for him? Is Aelia looking for him for the knowledge of the ocean? Leon promised to explain the ocean to her, but he has to find her first. Knowing her location won't be easy. He hopes she's alive because the pain of knowing the possibility of her death knowing she's walking around, potentially alone, without Charlie, without Owen, without Leon. His entire time spent in the arena could be looking around for them because he wants to be with them, but he's lost away from everyone except Siren, and the two girls he helped heal earlier.

Are they alive?

Am I alive?

His heart hammers within the chest wall sending the blood pulsing throughout his veins. Leon Krigel is very much alive like so many others who have walked before him, but five of them are dead. Their hearts don't beat anymore and the blood stands still in their veins, what little is left. The ground drinks the blood shed by many consuming the lives of those who pass away here. For twenty-three this will be the last place they see alive. Leon wants to live, though, he wants to be with Owen, and Charlie, and Aelia, but finding them may never happen especially if they appear in the sky.

One by one faces fly through the sky as the anthem plays.
Cadman Gertz District 3
Charlie is still alive. Leon doesn't know if she's injured or near death, but knowing she's alive is a relief.
Luna Shim District 5
Cystine Crystal District 6
Marianna Taylor District 10
Aelia and Owen have survived the night. They are alive somewhere hidden from sight. They are alive. They have survived. We are all alive.
Eira Craft District 12
Five have died. Nineteen remain alive and Leon is one of them. Just like that the anthem stops playing and it's quiet through the arena, but the heat still exists, but for now, Leon can rest peacefully knowing they are all alive.

The sun shines high in the morning, and Leon looks around at Siren, Jacinda, and May. Two of them may not seem like much, but all of them are fighting for the same reason, to return home alive. That's not the point right now. They are there to help one another knowing the ultimate price. It's just as hot as it was the other day, if not hotter. Sweat pours from his brow as he looks around at those he's allied with. He circles around doing a 360 looking Owen. Owen, where are you? Please tell me you're alright. Please tell me Charlie and Aelia are okay as well. Where are you? Are you near? He walks for what seems like miles before stopping in the middle where the ground became bathed with blood.

The rust-coloured ground is scuffed from two dozen feet dancing back and forth as tributes aimed to avoid an early death (and Leon shuts down the part of him that threatens the memories). No, he realizes, Not only feet. Someone's finger had danced in the deep sand, too, leaving short messages for any tribute lucky enough to notice. I guess I'm lucky.

'Dan Johnwayne better run!'

'Maiden May, you had better smile if you read this. The time for serious faces is never.'

'Grandmas juggle better than Sonja Arcopello.'

One line with his name catches his eye and Leon slows down to read it over and over and over. 'I've got more bruises, Leon. You promised to make them better.'

His throat tightens and anything he was going to say ("May, looks like you've got an admirer.") gets caught there. Leon has to swallow once, twice, sharply before his vision clears of not-tears. Oh Noct. If only I could make it all better.

He allows himself a moment of silence before clearing his throat and saying,

"Well, we're back to where we began. The bloodbath is over, but it could begin again."

Siren Baitwell

Kill and run, Kill and run, I'm one of the dirty guns

This damned arena never got any more comfortable for her. It was too hot, too dry, too unlike home. She missed the ocean, its glittering waves and gentle caress. She missed her brothers, Reef and his grim mask, Ray and his never ending desire to beat her at contests. She missed the bubbles she had tried so hard to catch without popping, and she missed the boy that had made them. Grimly she trudges on, Leon at her side and Jacinda and May carrying on behind her. It took hours of mindless wandering before they say anything recognizable, but eventually they realized they had come back to the cornucopia. It wasn't much relief to her, but at least it was something she knew. Shuffling awkwardly, she watched the others as she felt growing unease in her stomach.

That was when she saw the shapes moving towards them. Not just moving slithering. They snaked forward, and it didn't take long before they were close enough that she could see the light catch on their long fangs and watch their tongues flick in and out. She levelled her spear at them in a vain attempt to scare them off, but they took no heed. Instead they continued towards them, ready to kill and eat. She couldn't let them do that - she needed her allies in order to have any hope to get far in these Games. Hell if that wasn't the most inaccurate name ever.

With May and Leon attacking one of the beast she went after the other. It didn't take her long to realize Jacinda had held back. "C'mon, please!" She must have been frozen in fear. This is what I get for not joining with other Careers. Shaking her head, she thrust her spear at the twisting two-headed snake in front of her. "JACINDA!" Seriously, snap out of it.

She would just have to kill this thing by herself.

Jacinda Zembori

without a light

The end of the first day was marked with the anthem. As the Nation Anthem of Panem blared throughout the Arena, and the faces of the fallen tributes haunted me from the sky, I wanted to cry and scream at the Capitol that I hate them. Five innocent children died, including my friends, and five families are mourning and will be mourning over their loved one for years to come.

Cadman Gertz. Marianne Taylor. Cystine Crystal. Eira Craft. Luna Shim.

Each of their faces, blue and holographic in the sky, only kindled the fire that was growing inside. My stomach tied itself into knots as I held in my rage and my tears. I am hurt, I am angry, my friends are dead, but that's not the worst part. No, the worst part is that their killers are still out there. And they won't stop with only five dead. They will kill and kill and kill until someone kills them.

The only reason why I haven't gone mad is because May is still there, and I have made an alliance with two others. They are complete strangers to me, but they bring me reassurance and a sense of security. And I am grateful that they decided not to kill me when they saw me, wounded and bloody, practically waiting for death in the desert. They have mercy—a rare thing to come across the Arena. Not only did they spare me, but Siren, the girl who stabbed me in the calf, healed me. I thought she would do the opposite when I saw her in the desert. But here we are. Allies.

I thought I wouldn't last the first night with the two tributes from District Four, but they didn't kill me in my sleep. But I'm alive and kicking on the second day. We decided that it would be safe to return to the Cornucopia, although I wasn't pleased with the decision. I agreed, but I didn't want to go back to the death place of Marianne and Cadman. I had to remind myself that their bodies would not be there. A hovercraft would have carried them away to their homes by the time we arrived at the Cornucopia.

And I was right.

We are back at the Cornucopia, and there are no bodies to remind me of my loss. I see no blood, either, probably because the sand it stuck to blew away in the wind. And if there is blood leftover, I'm not going to go out of my way to find it. I try not to think about what I saw at the Cornucopia, but the scene keeps playing over and over in my mind. Marianne falling to the ground. Cadman getting shot in the eye with an arrow. Myself, running as cold metal slices my skin. My own screams echo in my head, sending a shiver down my—

My thoughts come to a sudden halt when I realize that my alliance and I are not alone.

They have taken our shelter, our shade, our oasis.

They almost ran us over, and over, and over goes the wheel.

We have no shelter, no shade, no oasis.

We will devour again, and again, and again goes the snake.

TURQUOISE & CAICOS

It is Turquoise who unfolds herself first, slithering out of the center of their nest. Her head is leaner, her tongue sharper. A thousand nostril slits flare at the scent of the living returning. She knows, with a flick of his tongue, that there are many. Enough to call them to work. She rouses Caicos with a shudder that travels the length of their serpentine body.

Caicos hisses, coiling their body more tightly around the base of the cactus, threaded between deadly spines. The body responds for a moment, gripping the plant, and then relaxes. Turquoise has just as much will, and the power of genetic design on her side. But Caicos does not have to be kind, and she is not. She worms her way along the body, doubling back until she is up and over Turqoise's head, drawing curvy lines in the sand as she races for her target.

As ever, Turquoise is not long behind. By the time they ready themselves with arrow teeth and gleaming eyes, they attack as one.

Before May had actually slammed down the attack on the creature that was coming out them she noticed something in the sand. A smile spread across her lips. Nocturne was alive when he wrote that. He was wounded though and that worried her. She laughed at his last line to her. The time to be serious is never. Perhaps he was right about that. Though she didn't get enough time to think about it before she had attacked the creatures. After all in a game of life or death you didn't have to many chances to pause.

The slithering creature before her looked pissed. She had done damage to it and it was not happy. As she pulled her knife to make another strike, she noticed that Leon had joined her. She looked at the male and gave him a smile. "Let's finish this and help Jacinda and Siren." That was all she dared to say before the creature was lunging at them to attack them. She moved out of the way just in time and sent her knife down at the creature once more. This was not a time for small talk but she hoped that she and Leon could take care of this thing quickly cause she could see the other two fighting theirs. Her only hope is that she can deal even more damage to the creature before it deals damage to her.

The heat is dry, unlike the humid summer heat that Leon grew up with. It makes movement easier than it should be, he supposes; his arms move faster, or so he feels. Or maybe it's his imagination, the rush of adrenaline in his veins as everything moves so very fast, and he may or may not be lost in time.

The weapon is deadly, but Leon has no idea if any one of his strikes have hit. Bruises and cuts won't help much to bring him home, because home is his final destination, wherever home may be.

He only hopes that home will welcome him back with open arms.

(So many people around him, so many people wanting the same thing. He only has so much of a chance. But he has to keep trying.)

Siren Baitwell

Kill and run, Kill and run, A bullet through your heart

The snake was faster than she expected, blocking her spear and casting it off target with ease. Leon and May seemed to be having better luck with their snake and she watched as they both managed to not only land their blows but block those of their opponent. In her distractions she wasn't as quick as she should have been and a sharp prick in her shoulder told her she had been bitten. Hopefully the beast wasn't poisonous, but it seemed more of the type to devour something whole while it's still alive rather than watch it die of toxins. That was some of the only comfort she could feel right now, though the vest she was wearing did give her the security that it might at least stop the fangs for a time. Who knew though, the fangs on it were almost as long as her forearm it seemed.

When it attacked Jacinda she knew she really had to kill it. Even if Jacinda wasn't doing anything in this fight she couldn't leave her ally to be killed by a giant snake. "Bastard," she muttered, eyes dark. She hefted her spear again and went in for another attack. "Jacinda, wake the fuck up or you'll be eaten!" I'm not going to be happy if I just have to babysit. She came around one side of the giant dual-headed snake, trying to avoid both heads as she did so. There was no sneaking up behind this thing. "Get your fucking act together." It almost made her laugh when she realized she didn't know if she was talking to Jacinda or herself. With some sort of grim happiness she swung the point of her spear at the Kantutzan.

You better die, bitch.

Jacinda Zembori

i fear that i will stumble in the dark

The snake's fangs slice the skin of my back. It feels like I got cut with a recently sharpened knife, and if I'm lucky, there is no poison in my bloodstream. I don't scream or cry; it's not anywhere close to what I felt after the Bloodbath, but I yell, "Son of a!" (I refuse to say the curse word.)

Fear and anger is jumbled up inside me, so much that I'm not sure which is stronger. The snakes are huge, with a head on each side. I can only pray to Ripred that they're not poisonous. If they are, I'm a goner. But at least I'll go down fighting. But I won't let a mutt take me down. I'm not ready to die yet; the darkness isn't calling my name for now. The call will come someday, maybe tomorrow or the next day, or maybe even when I'm eighty years old. All I know is that it's not my time right now.

But it is the snakes' time.

So I swing my weapon with intentions to destroy the monstrous muttations. There is still the gentle part of me buried under the bitterness that has built up inside that whispers, "Just run and leave them alone. Let them live, they deserve a life, too." But I can't. There isn't a time for mercy in the Arena, not even for me. If I was still the same Jacinda that I was a week and two days ago, I would have mercy on the muttations although they are evil abominations, created for malicious intent.

But I am not the same Jacinda that I was a week and two days ago. The old Jacinda was a dreamer; I am a warrior.

ARROW & ZAD

They do not hiss with their open mouths, grotesque with square teeth and pointed jaws.

They moan like lesser beasts, creatures who have only one purpose.

But we have many.

We will eat, eat, eat until we burst, burst, burst.

And we are hungry.

TURQUOISE & CAICOS

Caicos gives them a taste, and they want more of it. She is fast, so fast, her fangs so sharp. She is proud, and it radiates from head to head, an endless loop. This blood, this inner life, is precious, delicious. She wants to soak in it, have it fill her belly and coat her beautiful skin.

Turquoise agrees. The one she chose was the best, the tastiest, the one most in need of devouring. She is eager to save her own skin, tasty as it is, and yes, it hurts when the chain slaps their belly. But they are used to the abuse, at the hands of faceless men. At least this girl has eyes almost to match their beautiful turquoise skin.

May slashed he knife through her opponent and a switch went off inside the sixteen year old girl. She didn't see the blood of the creature soak her blade. All she knew was she had to fight and it was something she had done all her life. She pulled the blade back to her getting ready for another go at the creature. The creatures head she was dealing with turned and both attacked Leon. A growl escaped her lips. They would pay for that.

It was now was May's turn again and she attacked praying all the while.

I'm a little bit hemmed in
A little bit isolated
A little bit hopeful
A little bit cold

The strange thing about missing people is that it leaves a wound on one's soul, not unlike the physical gashes Leon has had to deal with since the start of this fucking fight - or so Leon is led to believe anyway, his mind flicking casually through images of sobbing girls in his arms and stoically glowering boys with heartbroken eyes, the features flying by so fast that all he can see in the end is Owen.

(Sometimes he sees others: Aelia, maybe, her large dreamy eyes so unnervingly focused on Leon's face like she's trying to peer into his soul. Charlotte, beautiful, sassy Charlotte with her smirks and deliberately pushy demeanor. Michel, his sneer almost successfully taking up enough space on his stupid, sulky little face that the bruises almost don't matter so much as the fact that his brother is being an annoying lil' shit. Arissa, his twin, his better half, his better everything.

It doesn't make it hurt any less.)

But the thing is, for all the people that Leon has missed he doesn't feel any more hurt, per se - not in the sense that he expects, anyway (gross sobbing and broken pieces of hysterical misery). It just... leaves him hollow, empty like there's a hole in his chest that he can't reach in deep enough to fill.

Like he wasn't lost to begin with.

(That was a different sort of loss.)

The fact of the matter is that Leon misses them but he doesn't know if he misses them as much as he should, because if he truly loves them shouldn't he be catatonic on the ground where he lies? Shouldn't his heart beat fast and slow in equal parts, shouldn't all his - how did that boy put it? Oh yes - shouldn't all his internal misery swirl up in him like a goddamn tornado of emotion, shouldn't the feelings bleed out with the gash on his arm; shouldn't he love the feeling of pain over the destruction his sadness wreaks on his unsuspecting body? Leon has been privy to so much negative emotion throughout his life that he no longer knows what part of what they say is truth and what part is only their inner drama queen speaking - and isn't that funny, because with the number of people Leon speaks to he expects by now to be some sort of fucking expert.

Except, of course, that he isn't.

(And Leon staggers to his feet from where he's been thrown back into the sand by a giant two-headed snake, his hand tightening on the handle of his trusty knife; willing some energy into his body, Leon makes a lunge with a bloody grin that matches the one his weapon wears.)

Age 8
Finally she went with Ray to the training center, finally things were fair. He was still older, but at least they could do the same things. Well, almost. He used bigger weapons but still they could show off against each other. She learned faster too, everyone said so. Albeit "everyone" comprised of her trainer and her parents, but that was still enough. Ray was going to be no match against her once she was as old as him. Why did he have to age faster than her. She wanted to be ten too. Reef didn't seem happy for her, in fact he would cover his ears when she tried to talk about training. He still didn't watch the Games too. Was there something wrong with him?

i fear that i will stumble in the dark

My allies strike at the snakes, only to be struck back by lethal fangs. Without them, I would be vulture's food by now, or maybe a mass of flesh and bones in the snakes' stomachs. The two Careers fight better than I but I blaze with fury, which drives my arm to swing my weapon and fight the giant snakes.

One of the heads tries to sink its fangs into my skin, but I am able to swerve out of the way before I can be injured. For all I know, the mutt could have taken off my arm. The other side of the same snake launches at me and leaves a shallow red line on my thigh. It doesn't phase me this time - I was ready to get hurt - and I brush it off instead of wincing.

I look my enemy in the eye as I swing my ball and chain. I am afraid, but I don't let my fear drag me down. I am afraid that it will sink its fangs into my skin once more and that it will take my life away from me, and I am afraid that one of the mutts will do the same to my allies. I won't allow them to breathe another breath if they kill any of my allies - especially May. But I admit, I am more afraid for myself.

Because I want to live.

Because I want to have my adventure.

That's what I'm fighting for.

TURQUOISE & CAICOS

Turquoise and Caicos do not appreciate that their prey is being so difficult. Yes, the dead bodies are putrid, but they slide down the gullet so easily. This one will not be easy, but they are willing to try.
