[Caine Winchester D10M | Intro]
Cigarette ash like wildfireBurning holes in the night time
Open scars cut like barbed wire
White lies flying high like a ceasefireCaine Winchester wakes to the sound of a gunshot ringing in his ear.
Cold sweat along his forehead as he feels his heart pounding like hooves against the dusty ground of District Ten. The dream of Jed volunteering for him fading into the background of his mind as he clambers out of bed, poking his head out to get an avox to fetch him water. Throat dry with the rapid breath that comes from his chest as he leans against a door. The day had come upon him. No more ceasefires of words that won't come from his throat. The unknown land waiting before him and the others to begin the slaughter of lives upon weapons of a different color.
An avox appears at the door with a pitcher of water and a glass, carefully she pours it in a cup as he holds his breath. The soothing liquid falls down his dry throat as he hands the glass back to her. Breakfast was being prepared. A last meal for the twenty four kids who will inevitably fight for life or death in a place where nothing but broken bodies lay. All they tell him is good luck and to try and survive as long as possible. Home was no longer with him, unless he counted the hat upon his head or Bella who must be rising just like him.
The morning sun glittering through his window, basking in sunlight, he waits for the inevitable call of breakfast and hell to begin.
Mercy for his already broken form.
The outfit fits like a glove, tight to his skin. The material is thin, but the boots and jeans that he ends up in remind him of something people would wear in the cold. Cold, like the ice that was surely to be upon the arena. A groan comes from his throat, stylist smacking his chest hard as he lets out a sigh. Hands moving ever so gently to make sure the top layer looks good upon him. Her hands reminding him of the soft hugs that Ma used to give him as a small boy before ranching took over his mind. She's pleased with her work as he groans at the rather glittering stones upon the shirt.
Blue like the sky or his eyes or the water. The blue seems to be deep in color like the night sky with glittering stars that he had wished to never come the night before. All of the color drains from his face as he feels the nerves coating under his skin to his stomach. All he can do is let the feeling stay where it is. She places his hat upon his head, fixing it in a way that it won't fly away in a cold breeze, if the arena was cold like he was getting. District Ten wasn't cold like other districts could get.
The most he's seen is a hail that came from the sky, melting before it hits the ground. The sun's glimmer shines in from somewhere, but he moves away from it knowing that if he looks at it one more time, he'll panic about the possibility of dying in a unfamiliar place. Instead, he moves away from his stylist with a small smile as he moves away to where ever they would take him. Time to joint he twenty three others in an unfamiliar place where death waits for them.
The platform rises up to a hell that was unknown to him. The whiteness of cold shines brightly into his blue eyes blinding him for a moment. Silence fills his ears as the rush of hooves in his ears begin. Heart racing as he can see others there now as the glint of white fades away from his eyes. They were all there with chills in their bodies as the snowy ground comes in strong. The thin layers doing nothing for him. A chattering of his teeth as he stands, preparing his mind for the hellish cold that stands before him.
A stone building lays before him, holes scorched of where windows would be. A rough, rustic look that makes his chest burst with anxiety because anything could be behind the door that swings gently with the small cold breeze. There's both silence and noise pounding in his ears as the white comes back to him. Soon red would coat the ground, the sight would be horrendous. Eyeing up the field, he can see a weapon somewhere glittering or maybe it was the snow. He couldn't tell.
All he knew is he needed to go once the timer finished.
Too late.
It already finished while he was looking up the scene before him.
May heaven have mercy upon them.Dropping flags on the shoreline
This is as far as I can feel right
'Cause what you don't know
Can haunt you
