let the sky fall; SAA {Leisure} Day 1

“I. Hate. You. So. Much.” She ground out, jerking her sled forward and stomping through the snow. Great, just great. Snow white back there was the fuckin’ animal whisperer. Making her look like a straight up fool to everyone watching. Goddammit. Taming an animal was supposed to be her ticket into the hearts and minds of Panem. But if any jackass could just stick a hand out and tame two wolves at the drop of a hat? Amelia fumed, pursing her lips and falling silent.

How had she wound up in this situation? She’d left the bloodbath too early, she decided. Perhaps she should have watched a few people fight, get a feel for what she’d be dealing with before the week was up. Instead she was graced by Yuki and the boy from five patching each other up in a way that was oddly delicate. Wonderful. The first time they ran into tributes looking to rack up kills, perhaps they could bandage them to death.

“Just keep your mutts away from me before I decide to make a hat.”

These were the people she was trusting to watch her back. Audrey would call her an idiot. Probably was, back home safe and sound, worried sick about her. Trapped between a woodland princess and a weirdo. Whatever. There was a long week ahead of them. Hopefully. It was a sobering thought, knowing that at some point they’d be dead. She might even be the one that had to end them.

But she wouldn’t. Not unless they gave her a reason. Betraying your crew was a sure way to get killed back home. However, when the time came to break any bonds that had been forged in the heat of battle?  When it was a choice between herself and these strangers?

Getting rid of them would be a piece of cake.
