Neptune Phae
You'd think she would be used to this sensation, the sensation of gambling for your death. Throwing those slips of paper into a large bowl, waiting for fate to decide. But it never became easier for her. She was just as scared each year, after the next.

The games where a game of privilege, the privilege to be born into a society where the skills you need to survive are offered by hand. She came from no such District. She has ridges down her side and back, protruding through her smooth skin. Revealing the feeling of her endless hunger, and the lack of nectar to her body. Since she remembers she has ran from this "starvation", keeping a few paces ahead day by wrecked day. Her mother always said "being thin means you are limber." this was no where near truth. Neptune was far from athletic in any, way, shape, or form. She was fast, but she had long legs, so that helped. Her father always said "your physique means the boys will drool over you." This of course was a lie, no man wanted to find himself with a women he couldn't even hug with comfort.

I don't know if I can yell any louder. How many times have I kicked you out of here? Or said something insulting?

"Neptune, don't forget your jacket". The voice of her mother calls. She grabs her worn cotton jacket off the wall, and bolts out the door. She wasn't going to be late to her work again, her boss would have her head. Her bare ankles whip through the tall wheat grass, scratching her carmel skin. The seeds of perfectly ripe wheat flys through the air with each lunge. It magnetized to her coarse main like hair. The sun beats down on her copper eyes, causing her to squint.

I can be so mean when I wanna be. I am capable of really anything.

She reaches the corner of her bosses shed, grabbing a curved blade from the shelf. She sprints from the shed back to fields. The blade brushes her bare shin, crimson blood leaks from her skin. She ignores the sting of pain. She reaches the fields, and quickly kneels down and grasps a handful of wheat. Her blade glides through the crop like a fish through water. "Neptune, don't think I didn't notice your absence! What did I say about being late" Mr.Leon, her boss yells. He grabs her forearm firmly, she feels his nail dig into her fragile skin. She can feel the bruising of his grasp. "I apologize Mr.Leon, wont happen again." she says. He stares at her expression, she remains calm. "Just get back to work." he says. He lets her arm free, and she continues her work.

I could cut you into pieces. When my heart is, broken.

"Look the little bitch was late again." It was Espa, the older girl who happens to harvest the same part of the field as Neptune. Neptune never fully understood, why Espa disliked her so much. Espa was very unappealing to the eye, maybe jealously is what drives her hatred. Its not that Neptune cares, she refuses to take shit from anyone. "Looks like the ogre can't mind her own business."Neptune snaps. This made Espa furious, she throws down her blade and stands closer to Neptune.
Don't you know that this is all just a contest? The one that wins will be the one that hits the hardest.
Neptune keeps to her work, trying to remember her breathing exercises. She couldn't afford another broken fist. "What did you say you stupid ditz?" says Espa. Neptune turns her gaze to Espa. She exhales loudly, gritting her teeth. "Get out of my face, Espa." says Neptune. Espa pushes Neptune forcefully. Neptune grunts and drops her blade. She swings at Espa, clocking her in the right eye. "Shit, you bitch." Says Espa. Espa quickly counters Neptune with a right hook so hard it causes her to fall. Blood drips from Neptune's lip. She spits out a mouthful of metallic tasting fluid.

But baby I don't mean it. I mean it, I promise.

A near by peacekeeper takes notice to the conflict. He quickly rushes over to the scene, ripping Espa off of Neptune. "Hey, stop you are committing a crime against the capitol." He was over dramatizing the situation, but of course he was, he was a peacekeeper. " A crime against the capitol, my ass." mumbles Neptune. "What was that?" says the peacekeeper. "Nothing sir, I apologize for the inconvenience." says Neptune.

I forgot to say out loud how beautiful you really are to me.

Surprisingly he let them both off of the hook. The rest of the day was full of awkward tension and sweat. She was extremely sore on her walk home. Her neck stiff and her knees shaky. When she arrived home she started to boil water over the stove. "How was work hun?" says her mother. Neptune avoided her mother seeing her cut lip. "Fine mom." says Neptune. Her mother starts to take notice to her daughters distance. "Look at me Neptune." she says. Neptune slowly turns her head to her mother. "Mom its nothing, just this bitch in the fields." she says. Her mother turns sharply. "Watch your mouth. Now come here so that I can wash your face". her mother says.

I cant live without, your my perfect little punching bag. I need you, I'm sorry.

Her mother grabs the boiling water and pours it into a large tub, really more of a bucket. She mixes it with cold water, reaching an even temperature. Neptune strips her clothes down and dips her toe in the water feeling the warmth, she seps in slowly with a calm exhale. He mother grabs a rag and begins dabbing Neptune's busted lip. It stings, but Neptune keeps a strong expression. Her mother then pours the water over her daughters mess of hair, and combs through it, pulling out wheat seeds as she strokes. "You are so much like your father use to be, strong and stubborn." her mother says. Neptune remains quiet.

I always say how I don't need you, but its always gonna come right back to this.

The bath ends quicker than Neptune would of wanted it to, but she returns to her room and dresses in a fresh set of jeans and a tank top. Her mother always treated her kindly. After all they only had each other. She lays her head on her pillow, holding some novel on adventure, and lust, and far off places, untraveled by anyone. She enjoyed disappearing in these types of novels, drifting away momentarily. She turns her body to her stomach, holding her weight with her forearm. After a few minutes her book becomes her pillow, and an endless stream of saliva runs down her pages.

Please don't leave me.
