I looked inside the cornocopia again and while the people seemed to be staring at Joseph, I tossed the bottle of salve at Kit, hoping someone would realize what it was. I scrambled on top of the cornocopia, and settled in the bent part, listening and waiting as the rain poured on top of my jacket...

"Do you not even care that I as trying to help you? I thought you were dying!" Completely enraged, Joesph pulled back the string of his bow and without thinking, let it go. His eyes were dull as the arrow hit James in the head, killing him instantly. Immediately ashamed, his eyes clouded over and he muttered, "why did I do that..." He smashed his bow against his knee angrily and stormed off, to hide in the Cornucopia's nearly empty golden shell. Once inside, he stared at the walls, silently moping. "Let the real Games begin."

I sat there, shocked into not breathing, James dead behind me. I felt a thunk on my knee cap, startling me back into breathing. I looked up and saw Ava on the horn. I looked back down to what had fallen on my knee. I looked at it for a moment, then understood. I grabbed it and shoved it into my pants pocket, seeing as that was the only thing other than my bra I had on.
I looked over at the other careers. They were still ignoring us. I doubted they even knew what had happened.I slowly got up and made a few signs with my hands to Ava. I hoped she knew sign language, or else we would be screwed.
I slowly squatted, then worked my way into the horn where I saw Joesph. My eyes were full of sorrow, yet I said nothing, just placed my hand on Joesph's shoulder. Involuntarily I shuddered. The rain that had been falling for who knows how long had taken it's tole on my almost naked body.
"Let's go home." I said softly, the tone of wanted murder gone from my voice completely.
((Kit's message to Ava "Grab what ever you can and get the hell back to our corner. Grab daggers, bows, arrows, and backpacks. What ever! Just do it quickly!"))

I jumped off the hood of the horn and into the horn, racing around to gather things we would need. There were many backpacks and someone sleeping in the back stirred. I stabbed my dagger through him and heard the blast of the cannon. I finished packing stuff and started off towards our corner...
((I was a tad confused with where they were, so I guessed.))

Joesph pulled away, his eyes narrowed. "I know you, Kit. You wouldn't let this go. Now now-not ever. I've got a feeling that if I go home with you now, there will be an ambush waiting for me. I can't go. I'm sorry."

"Joesph, I've learned one thing while in this arena. I love you, and nothing you do to hurt me will change that. You can't tell me you're not going. I may have snapped at you earlier, but that's because it was the first time in my life I could sleep without..." I sighed. The only other person in the world that knew what I was about to say was Darek, and only him because I trusted him with my life and more.
"Without nightmares of that day, Joesph. And you know what day I'm talking about, so don't you dare try to hide it. Before you pulled me out, you don't know what it was like under there." I said softly, my voice cracking in multiple points.
((We will go soon, I think. It all depends on Joesph.))

Joesph stared off, "I...you remember? But that was...years ago and I figured...that you were...dead and...I didn't know if you still thought about that..." He stood up slowly, and half-laughed, half-had a serious tone to his voice. "So...no ambush?" |

I sighed, thankful he wouldn't press the matter of the nightmares or the day.
"No, no ambush. Just you, me, and Ava. Come on, Joe man." I said in a quiet voice. I stood up and looked at him. I slowly slipped my fingers into his, intertwining them together. I turned around and began to walk out and back to the corner, my hand still softly in Joesph's.

Joesph followed, but at careful distance. Kit was very unpredictable: She could turn around and stab him right now, and he wouldn't know it.

I looked form side to side, looking for any sign the careers would notice us. Nope. I dove into the freezing cold water and swam as if I were born to; it's not that far off, really. It didn't take me but a moment to get to the other side of the swamp, and from there I took off back into our corner. After I arrived, I sat down by the pile of ashes that was a fire, and grabbed some sticks and put it on the bed of embers. I had kept these under my bag, so they hadn't gotten wet. By now it had stopped raining, thank god.
It didn't take long for the sticks to catch fire and burn; without smoke.

((I think she just put the sticks on the still burning embers and hoped for the best. That's my guess.))

((Yes, Fey is right. Kit is an idiot when it comes to fires. She got lucky. Who knows? It may burst into smoke soon. P: ))

[[Been real busy. Sorry for no posts.]]
Vega grabbed some interesting looking sword at fingers knuckles. He jumped into a tree to be alone with his thoughts. Shyne. Where was she now? He had to get his mind off Shyne and into the game! "75 tributes are dead. Unlike usual tradition, there will 10 winning tributes. There is now a bag marked for every tribute at the horn." The horn was his only option. He needed an ally as well. Maybe he could get Shyne. She probably hadn't even noticed him. He jumped out of the tree, claws unsheathed. [Just in case.] He came to the horn to see a dead Shyne and cackling careers. [He thinks Shyne is dead.] Eyes blazing, he felt a emotion he hadn't felt since they had attacked his mother. In his right mind, he would never kill, but he was in total war mode now. No stopping until they were dead. The sharp claws slashed through bone and sinew. He had a shallow cut on his arm from a knife, but he felt no pain. WHen he was done, he knelt near Shyne. He put his hand over her heart. He felt a slow, steady beating. Shyne was alive! Quickly, he grabbed a chunk of grass and dirt from the ground. He rubbed it onto the wound, stopping the flow of blood. He stood up, fire in his eyes, no one would lay a hand on Shyne. Nobody.

Joesph stopped as Kit plunged into the water, "wait. I broke my last bow on impulse...I need a new weapon." As quietly as he could, slipped back into the Cornucopia and grabbed a solid black bow from the small pile of weapons left, and slung it over his shoulder before diving into the cold water, swimming as though he was born in the water. Actually, he almost was. He tumbled onto the shore, and sat next to Kit. "I'm still expecting that ambush to take over any second now."

I poked the fire with a stick and wrinkled my nose as I cut off a piece of the rabbit with my knife. I poked the stick into it and put it over the fire, wondering if this was how you roasted things. I wasn't really sure since in District 3, we had stoves to cook things on and ovens to put things like chicken and rabbits in. I heard a noise, but ignored it, hoping it was just the wind..
((I don't know what the noise was, someone else can pick up on that if they want.))

It was an odd dream for Shyne. She was in the Hunger Games, and there was Vega. Only, it wasn't exactly Vega. It was a misty shadow that if you reached out for it, the shadow disappeared. Everything seemed purple, like what morphling does to you. After the shadow disppeared, she was alone. No idea where she was, no weapons, bag, or anything. But she had a ravenous thirst. There, a pond. Kneeling down to scoop up water with her hands, the pond disappeared when she got close. Laying down, beaten and exhausted, a large mutt appeared out of nowhere. She let out a scream, and began running. When she tripped, the mutt came on top of her and... She woke up with a start, clutching at her heart to breathe. Then she took a deep breath and laid back down. She had stirred enough to make a stready stream of blood flowing out of her leg again. She noticed Vega. Standing near her. God maybe that wasn't a dream. She thought. Maybe I'm in that sycotic world people call death. Her tle="" href="http://www.stylebop.com/grafic/product2/123/900/123254.jpg" target="">t-shirt was bloodied and wet. Just someone snap me out of this dream.
