Crashing, hit a wall
Right now, I need a miracle
Stranded, reaching out,
I call your name but you're not around...
I call your name but you're not around...
Your evening is just as dull as you expected it to be. Fiona puts you to sleep and you find yourself snoring even before the anthem goes up. You're half asleep and half awake, dreaming of the days when you were still a child and your uncle came to visit you on Sundays... Then there is his grave, daddy's white face and a knife raised above your head... Cathy kicks you out of the way, your back stings, everything goes blurry...
You open your eyes when Fiona is still sleeping, with a diary lying on her knees. Your street education never taught you it's rude to read diaries, so you grab it and start looking through the pages. Again and again... You just need a distraction from every single thought in your head. One thought is about Oliver... (He wanted to leave, so what? Good riddance. But he's a good guy and you don't want to let go of him... It's too late for this, anyway.) The second thought is about Faux. About his eyes seconds before... SHUT UP, STUPID THOUGHT!) You take Fiona's pen and open the eleventh page from the end, scribbling a few sentences.
Finally, your ally is awake. You hold out your hand with the notebook.
You stare at her just like you glared at Cathy when she tried to go to work with a cold.
You sigh and let the diary drop back on her knees. She is so much like your sister... You know for sure now that if you are gone, she might crumble. You take out your weapons, putting them on the ground before you...
You smile sadly at your friend, pointing at them.
You feel like both blades in front of you radiate bad luck. Faux died with a knife in his hand, your father almost killed his own child. You slip the two weapons into your backpack and take the weird spiky thingy in your hand. Weird spiky thingy is such a long name. This calls for some nicknaming. But what should you call it? W. S. P.? That's it!
Here you are, lacking allies and friends, nicknaming your own weapon. That's what the games do to people. You get up and shake your black curls.
You don't get far before there are three shapes appearing in the distance.
You glance at Fiona and realize that she would never attack first. You want to protect her and you suspect that people in front of you won't be as merciful as her. You want to draw their attention to yourself, make them hate you. Fi has to get out alive. Just a week ago, you were not willing to fight for any of the tributes here. But you couldn't forget Cathy, shield your biggest weakness... The arena is messing with your head. Cathy is now Fiona, Fiona is Cathy. She has to live, they both have to. They are family. And family goes first. Fi must live, whatever the price.
And you raise your hand at the boy who seems most menacing of the three.
You open your eyes when Fiona is still sleeping, with a diary lying on her knees. Your street education never taught you it's rude to read diaries, so you grab it and start looking through the pages. Again and again... You just need a distraction from every single thought in your head. One thought is about Oliver... (He wanted to leave, so what? Good riddance.

You take Fiona's pen and open the eleventh page from the end, scribbling a few sentences.
"Fi, if you're reading this..."
Finally, your ally is awake. You hold out your hand with the notebook.
"We need to talk."
You stare at her just like you glared at Cathy when she tried to go to work with a cold.
"You have to understand that I am not a baby anymore. We are in this together. And we will both take care of each other while we can. You protect me and I protect you. One falls, the other goes on."
A weird spiky thingy
Faux's knife
Your knife
You smile sadly at your friend, pointing at them.
"Funny things, knives. When we cut bread, we never know how much misery they can bring. And yet, in a fight, they're so damn effective..."

"Wasp." - you whisper thoughtfully.
Here you are, lacking allies and friends, nicknaming your own weapon. That's what the games do to people. You get up and shake your black curls.
"C'mon, we better go before somebody bloodthirsty comes our way."
You don't get far before there are three shapes appearing in the distance.
"Damn. So much for avoidance tactics."
You glance at Fiona and realize that she would never attack first. You want to protect her and you suspect that people in front of you won't be as merciful as her.

"I guess I'm Olive number two now."
It's in my head, darling, I hope
That you'll be here when I need you the most,
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down...
