I can't sleep. Each adjustment I make to feel comfortable, it hurts. Every attempt to move or get into a different position, it hurts. Everything hurts. Though, this pain is only mild considered to the pain one may face through their journey of the Games. I'm only just witnessing the beginning, getting a small taste of what is to come. How kind of them, preparing me for pain.I almost feel like I should thank them.
A laugh, light and doubtful escapes my lips at that. It's odd to think that in such a dark place you'd find someone laughing. But it's even more odd to think that my child will only know my crown of life or death. And, if they live to see me and I to see them, the crown will never be removed.
I drift in my thoughts through the night due to the unbearable idea of sleep. It's a cave where if you're not gonna look where you're going you could end up with a knife in your eye. Dead. Nothing to remain in the once filled with life. We have no difference in life or death in this place because all of the life inside of it turns to death. I think of all of the people back at home probably hoping I come home on a personal level- Marzanna, Blair, Blanche, Ike. They all care in a sense, right?
I awake from my thoughts and look over at Minos for a second, knowing he's still awake just like me. We're both in pause of the practice of sleeping, but the wave of sleepiness washes over me slowly and it causes a yawn to emit from my throat. I know he must be tired too, or at least getting close to it, so I speak.
”Hey there, bud.” I give a small smile, reassuring in a sense. ”I'm gonna sleep, I suggest you do the same. Alright?” I raise an eyebrow in his direction even though I doubt he can fully see my expression. I worry about him- the only source of humanity I feel like I can find. He sighs, looking up to the lost constellations that dance in the sky. The cave gives no stars, no stories to learn or be told during the night. It's blank. No emotion, no story. Just a damned ceiling of rock.
”In a second.” Minos says, distant in the presence. Reassuring. I place my head onto the wall that I've been resting on for the time passing, and the world seems to envelope me in it’s next dimension.
I wake up to feel a pair of arms wrapped around my torso. It feels distant but normal, like it's a regular thing to happen. It reminds me of Blanche. Days where we often woke up entangled in each other. But she's the only one that would do that, right? Was it all a dream so far? The pain, the death of two innocents? A glance down speaks otherwise, removing the idea.
Wrapped around my torso is Minos Vallanso instead of Blanche. It feels odd knowing that it's not her. But it feels nice, it reminds me of home in a sort. It feels odd knowing that this was someone that may die in the next twenty four hours. It feels nice because it reminds me of the happiness in my life. It feels nice because that normally shows a feeling of protection when you're with that person.
Though, knowing the schedule of the Games, we must get a move on due to the arrival of something soon. I move his arm off and slowly move around the best I can to gather my items. Backpack, check. Bow and arrows, check. I then move over to Minos and nudge him lightly because the other two have woken up by now and he has yet to. ”You might want to wake up, we've got to get moving soon.” I speak to him with a cautious tone placed into my words, as if I didn't want to scare him or something. Minos awakes and just as easily replies like he's been awake for the past twenty minutes, giving a small joking remark. ”But I wanted to cuddle more.” He says it with a whine in the tone of his voice and I couldn't help but give a small chuckle at that.
Soon enough, we all had made the silent agreement to start moving, and we do. Minos stays back with me as a balance of sorts due to my leg, and thank god he was so I wouldn't fall. Every other step is a grimace to flash on and off of my face, like its on a rotation of sorts.
And the pit of fire nearby is not reassuring in my eyes, looking at the red and orange flames licking the air. Though, the three little structures of bone don't seem very reassuring either. They are programmed to kill us after all, right?
I pull out and arrow and shoot a the damn things before they can take a shot at us.
