Game Arena: The Underwater Grotto
The water drained down, fish flapped on the ground, but the deep lakes stayed.

Gaby gets up and bolts! She swims as fast as she can looking for anything to protect her from both the rising sea level and the shark. As she clutched her knife in her hands, she slowly swims backwards untill she hits a rock. It isn't big enough to hide, but enough to protect herself from the shark. She puts her knife away and grabs her bow and arrow. She has almost no talent with this weapon, so in her shaking hands, she aims and fires, hitting the shark. As it dies, she knows she can't be picky. She needs more food. She gets her knife and slices a chunck of shark meat off. She finds high ground and rests. Until she realizes something. When she ripped off the meat, the blood poured into the water. Not only will it attract more sharks, but tributes too! She runs to nowhere to flee the dangers awaiting her. She had no one, no allies, no one to protect her. As she ran, she couldn't help it. She started to cry silently.

Gaby approches some tribute high on a cliff. She aims at Fade with her bow and arrow and hits her thumb. She hides from view. She can't let Fade and the others see her. She runs again.

((thumb means what? Bc u can't kill me w/ out challenging.))
((Adena, we need to fight. Bc pols are attacking us now.))
((Adena, we need to fight. Bc pols are attacking us now.))
((It means u drew blood and i suck at aiming))
((okay. It hits Fade in her right shoulder. Painful but not deadly. Also, she's left handed.))
((Fade))
Cedar and I are just chilling out on the rocks on our ledge, relaxed a bit, but still on our guard. I'm fiddling around with my throwing daggers when I hear a whoosh. Somebody has thrown a knife at Cedar. He ducks, hearing the noise, just as I do. A large boy jumps obhim seconds later. ((Adena, you can change your fight as you see fit, but some sort of reaction was in order so i could write my part.)) I start to run to Cedar, trying to help but, then in the commotion, I stand up, loose track of Cedar and hear another sound. Before I can really place it, my right shoulder has exploded into pain. I scream, in frustration and hurt, then hurl a knife in my attackers direction. I can only hope it sticks, but I don't think it will. Lettting out a stream of curses, I pull the arrow out of my arm. Whirling around, wincing in pain, and holding my throwing arm steady, I look around. I see a boy battling Cedar to my left and a wisp of hair around a rock near us. Seeing I have a moment, I won't be mych help gushing blood, I flip my pack off my arm, find a small strip of cloth, and start to bind my shoulder. In a minute, I'm well practiced, the arrow is gone and the cut covered, but still aching. I can still feel blood seeping out of it, but there isn't anything else I can do right now. Standing up, pulling on my pack and arming my self as much as I can with an injured shoulder, I turn, looking for Cedar. Preparing to fight.
((Can we take out that boy? Adena if she wants or if I do when Fade try's to help Cedar.))

As Gaby run, in the bushes, she catches a glimps of Cedar, Fade, and a boy she didn't know the name of, fighting. She couldn't watch, she wouldn't. She's learned from home how to move in the forest without noise. And she runs
((SORRY NOT FOREST! WHERE EVER WE ARE!))
((Cedar))Relaxing in our newfound home, Fade fiddles with her knives as i sit polishing Brent's sward. It's a fine piece of weaponry and i get lost in it easily. a rustle in the vines causes me to whirl around to face it, but i hear a knife wizzing at me! so i duck to the ground, the blade missing me by inches. My attacker comes into veiw, it was that stupid cocky boy from district two! I weild my sward with strength as the boy charges at me, knives in hand, screaming a battle cry. "ARE THERE MORE? FADE! ARE THERE MORE?!?" i scream, but she's preocupied, pulling an arrow from her right shoulder, grimacing. I curse to myself, preparing for battle, and seeing her looking for my support, i press my back up against hers. "We're in this together, right?" "Right." "COME AND GET US YOU SICKOS!" i shout into the darkness, holding Fade's injured hand in a tight imbrace. We are a team.
((Yea, Mylan, id like to take him out, is anybody playing as him? or can we just kill him off? Also, Gaby can't kill us without battling us first. And Mylan, since we're in a aliance, and the chances are greater for us than for a single tribute, could we get two spins at a number, because those would be the chances in real life two against one.))
((I agree with Adena. Also, it would be awesome if you sent any not controlled tributes over here so we can take them out.))
((GUYS! 1st of all, Mylan was the one who started the arrow in the thumb thing, cuz i've been busy. So I just followed along))
((no, I know I'm just saying, in the future and just so we know.))
yea, you can kill him, make it a slow and painful death :p. And anyways, he was going to have to die anyways since its been a week!! You guys won't have to choose a number, yet....
Suddenly the effect of the two tributes wear off, putting them back to normal.
" you should kill him!!"
((Cedar))The crazy wild boy from district two charges at us, and flings a knife at my head! "DUCK!" i scream to Fade, pulling her down with me as the sharp blade whizzes over my head. "Let's split, he can't take both of us on at the same time. You need to be looking out for crazy hair bow-slinger over there. I'll be fine." We sprint in opposite directions, and are in opposite corners of the cave, Fade watching for anyone who could have shot that arrow, and I'm standing face to face with caveman over here.
As we size each other up, i can clearly see that although he's a bit bigger and a few years older than i am, and probably stronger too, there's something off about him. His eyes are glazed over and all of his movements are stiff and unnatural, like something was controlling him from the inside out. Yikes. I give myself a shake, clearing my head of anything but the task at hand.
He makes the first move, and throws a knife so robotically fast, i barely have time to react. Using my sward, i deflect the throw, and the knife clatters on the floor. In those few seconds, i watch as his eyes shift back to normal, and he looks as though just coming out of a trance, hesitating for just enough time. Now i close in, taking in all of the possible ways he could attack me, but the number is growing fewer as i push him further and further into the corner of the cave and down onto his knees.
Dramatically, i point the tip of my sward into his Adam's apple until it draws blood, forcing him to look up at me. Now, he's not such a hot shot anymore, like he pretended to be with all of that toughness garbage he pulled at his interviews and in training. He's sobbing, and twitching and i think he may have peed his pants. I give a laugh that i can cause such a big boy this much pain. And i decide to have a little fun, but carefully, never taking down my guard.
"Oh come on then! Cry for your mommie! Wah WAH!" he sniffs and sees that im taking advantage of him. "NO WAY! I DON'T CRY FOR ANYONE!" he wails, his voice cracking on the way up. I tighten the pressure on his throat. "Cry! Because it's pretty hard to see with no eyes!" Pulling out one of my shark teeth, i drag it along the outline of his eye, keeping my sward at his throat and his arms pinned to the ground under my feet. I there's a crunch and im pretty sure i just broke three of his fingers on his left hand. He wails for his mom. "Sorry sweetie, mommie's not here right now, can i take a message?" I slash the tooth across his face, and his eyes begin to become red with blood, bleeding from the inside. He screams and sobs and begs for mercy. "Please man! dont kill me PLEASE! im useful! IM USEFUL!" "SHUT UP! you are a worthless coward, don't you forget that. and im through with you." with that, i slice my sward hard through his neck and kick his bloody corpse over the edge of the cliff.
It lands in a crunch, not a splash, and i realize that the water is gone. Receded, anyway. "Yo Fade! the water's dried up! we can go down now!" i begin planning our new strategy for these games, but when the hovercraft comes for the boy's body, i watch as they lift him up and say, "you better be watching. You better not blink." My 2nd kill was one surely to get me sponsors. And i smile.
((Think that was dramatic enough? YES. YES IT WAS. Mylan, pretty please can Cedar have a parachute? *bats eyes* With a cherry on top?))
((I think it was good...))
((Fade, obviously))
I find Cedar and he just looks at me for a second. I must look terrible, covered in blood, hair a rats-nest from the wind, and missing a knife. But, he just grabs the hand on my injured arm for a second then says "DUCK" So I do and a knife whizzes over our heads. "Let's split, he can't take both of us on at the same time. You need to be looking out for crazy hair bow-slinger over there. I'll be fine." I sprint away, to where I was shot. There's a trace of my blood, but nothing else.
The little ***** ((not aimed at anybody, just the character)) got away. I'm fuming, I want to get that girl. I know my anger gets me crazy, I'm not known for being calm when I'm upset. But really, I have to do something. I turn around, looking for Cedar. I want to be ready if he needs help, but this is his kill. Plus, I have to face it, as much as I like Cedar, I probably wouldnt mind if he was a little beat up...
I want to keep a lookout, that boy is a monster, what if he has friends? But, I'm also interested to see how Cedar takes the boy. Sad as it is, I might have to fight him. I've just decided to try to keep watch, when I hear a scream. I whip back around, nearly dizzy because I've turn about so much. I can't help but stare as Cedar tortures the boy. He is whimpering and sobbing. Then Cedar pulls out some shark teeth and starts mauling his face. Soon, all I can see is blood and taste bile in my throat.
I should be stronger, but I can't. This is wrong. But, I know I wouldn't be any different. Just as Cedar, I'm ruthless at heart. And viciously kill. How fast I shot that little boy at the cornucopia. I steel myself and accept this is how it is. Im going to have to kill. And if I want to win, I'm going to have to kill well.
Soon, I'm over the nausea of seeing the boy killed. Cedar put on a great show. He's bound to have gained sponsers. I just hope I don't have to sit by while he gets yet another parachute. I have to do something spectacular, soon, if I want support. I can hold my own, but it would help.
Standing up and cleaning off, Cedar looks a bit proud of himself. Not that I can blame him, but still mad about the girl and his outdoing me, I wanna wipe a grin off somebody's face. He seems ready for anything so I say "Let's hunt."

((Cedar))I feel on the top of my game! I walk away from the edge of the cliff towards Fade smiling to myself, a bit giddy because, that's just my way of handling feelings i don't want to feel. Down inside, i feel terrible, that boy had no right to be tortured like that and i know it, but if I'm ever going to get through these games, Im going to have to put on a show, even if it does mean brutally killing other kids. Oh well. Life's not fair. I can curl up in depression some other time. Right now, i need to survive. and ill do anything it takes to do that. Laughing like a madman as i saunter over to Fade's side, she gives me a 'Im going to kill you ((quite literally)) if you keep laughing like a crazy person' glare. I calm myself down and realize the task at hand. Fade reaches both hands up on my shoulders, stares deep into my eyes, and slaps me, hard on the cheek. "OW! what was that for?" "For acting crazy. Had to make sure it was still you in there, not some mind controlling mutt." "WELL IT'S ME!" i shout, angry because of the burning sensation and probable red mark her hand has left on my cheek. but then calm down, realizing that if she had gone off like that, i would've done the same thing. "Come on," she says, turning her back to me, "Let's hunt." There's no doubt in my mind that she's planing to do worse than torture whatever girl shot that arrow into her arm, but im not sure how she took my performance with pretty boy over there. I probably seemed like a monster, or worse. Funny, how i think of her opinion more than my family's back home. Ugh. These games are screwing with my mind. "Let's Hunt" she says with malice, a faraway look in her eyes. "Heck Yea!" I whoop, lightening the mood, and pick her up with ease, playfully hauling her like a net of fish over my shoulder. she begins beating on my back with playful fists when suddenly, she gives a yelp. i put her down immediately. She rushes back a few steps, then stops, fear in her eyes. "What? What's wrong?" She glances down at my body and i have the sudden, no, please don't let there be some creature crawling all over me, thought, but when i finally do look down, i see what the problem was. I was coated from the torso down, in the boy's partially still wet blood splattered all over me. I swallow hard. I really look like a monster now, and i want to puke. "Ok, detour, I think i should clean up first. She gives a brief nod and walks alongside me until we get to the staggered climb. we help each other down it's slippery course until we are standing at the bottom of the waterfall. "Fade, please." i say, asking for forgiveness. She briefly nods, and our eyes say more than words ever could. All is forgiven, she of all people would know what it takes to survive. we both smile.
((Cedar cleans up in the waterfall and they eat some of their leftover shark meat and drink and replenish their waterbottles, Cedar has an extra one he took from the dead boy's pack that he gives to Fade. they bandage Fade's arm with new cloth from Cedar's tee shirt that wasn't stained by blood.))
((okay, I'm gonna just skip to where he picks her up, the emotions involved in the parts before are pretty self explanatory. I did like the glare comment, it was funny, btw. Also MYLAN: if there's any other tributes, not controlled by others, send them our way please.))
((Fade))
Cedar scoops me up like I weigh nothing, and slings me over his back. He's all euphoria since the boy... Except he doesn't seem as happy about killing him, more like it dawned on him that he could get home, which he can, but he has to go through me. I start pounding on his back, but my fists do nothing, I'm tiny. I'm laughing like crazy, his happiness is contagious.
After a good minute of fun, I start to regain sense. I look at Cedar's muscular chest, and all I can see is deep red blood. Neither of us noticed, but now we're both covered in it. I yelp, unable to get words out. I'm disgusted, but mostly freaked out. Some of the blood is mine. Some is of a dead and gone boy. Cedar looks at us and it seems like he's about to barf. "Ok, detour, I think i should clean up first." I nod, still not comfortable with speaking. I need a bath too, though he doesn't mention that.
We make it down the cliff, as the water is gone, and find our way back to the fresh waterfall. I can't stop looking ay the blood, and Cedar knows it. He just says "Fade, please." He seems to be asking for forgiveness. I just nod, knowing what he really means. I stare him in the eyes for a very long time. Of course I forgive him. I couldn't and wouldn't be here without him. I know what it takes to survive. I know he had to kill the boy. I know I'll do much worse to that girl. I smile at the thought of revenge and the never-ending patience of my ally.
((We do what Adena said..))
I'm full. I have a new water bottle. I'm clean, which is a complete relief, and so is Cedar. Most bad thoughts are gone. Now, the adrenaline filled day is coming down hard on me. It's hard to even keep my eyes open. I lean back and stare at the sky. the anthem comes on and I see the face of the fallen tribute. Cedar says "I'll take first watch." "Thanks, wake me up in a little while." And I'm grateful. I'm done thinking for today, except for one thing: I will take out somebody, and somebody soon. After a short minute, I'm out...
((MYLAN, who can we kill w/out a number fight?))

((Can i kill the next one w/ a fight cuz i haven't killed anyone yet!))
((I think that anybody who hasn't posted in the last week should be up for grabs...))
Canon fires. Kevin is dead. Three parachutes come down one for Gaby, Cedar and Willow. And you will eventually get to kill Gaby.
Ajax wanders around the waters, until he stops himself once he comes face to face with Cedar, and she was grinning wildly at him. You happy?!
Omg whoops, I mean you will eventually get to kill the others... not Gaby!!???
((Yes, thank you Mylan. Although, poor Fade has to watch Cedar with another parachute. If she does something cool, can she get one... well, I guess eventually??? please?))
((Adena, lets have Ajax find us in the morning. Have fun with your parachute, I would open while Fades asleep. P.S. Fade wants to help this time ;) ))

((GEE! Thanks! >:( )) Gaby grabs her parachute and rips it open. She gets nothing but a small piece of bread and about a cup full of water. She thinks her time is up soon. She starts to cry and walks. ((K let's get this over with :( ))

Another parachute floated down to Gaby, inside was a big bowl full of broth. Two carrots. Six gallons of water and eight bananas. I edited my other comment, Gaby. Read it
((OOOOOOOOHHH that makes more sense. were you talking to Gaby then too. Also, sounds good to meee.))
((Cedar))I sit on watch as Fade falls asleep. Ive never been so pumped up in my life! adrenaline pumps through my veins and i decide that i can't just sit here anymore. I pace about, watching over Fade, who's sleeping soundly. This is sooooo boring. Suddenly, I see a parachute floating down! With my name on it! I literally trip over myself as i stumble over the rocks towards the package. I tear it open with my bare hands and peer down at the contents. A first aid kit! I open the white box with the cross on it to find a thick roll of gauze, some anti biotic ointment, a vile of peroxide, and some sterile gloves, about 10 pairs. I can't wait, i wake Fade and say, "Fade, ive got a surprise for you!" In my most sing song like voice. He eyes flutter open in suppress as i hold the supplies out in front of her. "Cedar! Where in the world did you find those?" she asks, scrambling to her feet. "Oh, it looks like you did get a parachute after all! im sorry i didn't let you open it, i wouldn't want to wake you to find something boring. Plus it's kinda funny to watch you sleep. You make the best faces." That got me a playful shove that knocked me into the water. "Ok cool guy, help me put this stuff on." she says as i haul myself out of the water. She tears off the dirty rags and i help her apply the ointment and wrap the gauze around her injured arm. "Thanks," she says, and i walk over to where my parachute was, digging through it to see if anything was left. To my great suprise, there was! Two, i couldn't believe it, Two Chocolate Bars! I almost leap for joy and give a silent 'thank you' to my mentor, she knows me well. "Close your eyes Fade." i walk over to her, the candy behind my back. "one more surprise." i hold my hand out in front of her nose. "Open?" she asks, "Yep, open." she screams with delight as she takes the chocolate in her hands. "I think so. Wanna try it out?" "ABSOLUTELY!" we both chip off a tiny corner of our bars and let it melt in our mouths. We sit in bliss, nibbling on chocolate, listening to the soothing sounds of the waterfall.
((Fade))
Cedar shakes me gently and says "Fade, ive got a surprise for you!" My eyes open and he holds out a small first aid kit. Oh, my gosh! I need that so bad. My shoulder is throbbing and it will not go away. I hop to my feet, asking "Cedar! Where in the world did you find those?" He tells me; "Oh, it looks like you did get a parachute after all! im sorry i didn't let you open it, i wouldn't want to wake you to find something boring. Plus it's kinda funny to watch you sleep. You make the best faces." I give him a small shove, wondering if I was talking in my sleep as well... He falls playfully into a puddle. Helping him up, I say ""Ok cool guy, help me put this stuff on." I rabidly tear off the now filthy, blood soaked rags off and let him put on ointment and wrap the clean, white gauze over it. "Thanks." Is all I can get out in relief, and stand there, enjoying his sponsors as he walks back over to the parachute.
"Close your eyes Fade." So, I do and turn around to face where he last was. With anybody else, I couldn't obey that command, but for now, with him, I can. After a short minute, I can't stand waiting any longer, "Open?" "Yes, Open" he replies. As my eyes open and I stare at his hands, I start to squeal. CHOCOLATE. I love chocolate, and I do get it sometimes at home. Its totally amazing. "Wanna try it?" "ABSOLUTELY!" So I hand him back his bar, and break off a tiny piece to plop in my mouth. I can feel the warm goodness melting. Between the soothing waterfall and the taste of chocolate on my tongue, for the first time in the past few days, I feel relaxed.
It's still dark, but dawn is coming soon. We can only sit here for so long. "I think we better pack up soon. And keep the medical stuff handy. I have a bad feeling we are going to need it, soon." Sadly, the moment in paradise has ended. Only one thing would have made it better. One tiny thing, but I can't think about that now. I mustn't.
After everything is in order, packs and weapons, we eat the last bit of shark meat. I think to myself that we are going to need more food soon. Sponsors may be more help than the bodies of water, as Brent died last time we tried to 'fish.' As I'm pushing the thought away for now, Cedar stands up. "Come on girly, lets get going for the day."
But, no sooner are the words out of his mouth, when a boy, maybe district 7? nearly walks into Cedar. How he managed that, I have no idea, but he realizes he's in danger and darts away. Cedar seems momentarily stunned. What kind of idiot walks into another tribute in THG? Then, Cedar is pulled back into the moment. I'm whipping out my throwing knives, and he's pulling out his weapons. The boy is still running for cover, so I throw as hard as I can and a knife finds his calf. He goes down and we rush forward, me switching throwing knives for sharper, longer daggers. Before we reach the struggling boy, I say "Let's do this." And I'm on the hunt. He stands up, weakened, but taking a stance I can only describe as karate-ish. His has a staff in terms of weapons, but not much else.
((ready to fight, Adena!?))
Cedar shakes me gently and says "Fade, ive got a surprise for you!" My eyes open and he holds out a small first aid kit. Oh, my gosh! I need that so bad. My shoulder is throbbing and it will not go away. I hop to my feet, asking "Cedar! Where in the world did you find those?" He tells me; "Oh, it looks like you did get a parachute after all! im sorry i didn't let you open it, i wouldn't want to wake you to find something boring. Plus it's kinda funny to watch you sleep. You make the best faces." I give him a small shove, wondering if I was talking in my sleep as well... He falls playfully into a puddle. Helping him up, I say ""Ok cool guy, help me put this stuff on." I rabidly tear off the now filthy, blood soaked rags off and let him put on ointment and wrap the clean, white gauze over it. "Thanks." Is all I can get out in relief, and stand there, enjoying his sponsors as he walks back over to the parachute.
"Close your eyes Fade." So, I do and turn around to face where he last was. With anybody else, I couldn't obey that command, but for now, with him, I can. After a short minute, I can't stand waiting any longer, "Open?" "Yes, Open" he replies. As my eyes open and I stare at his hands, I start to squeal. CHOCOLATE. I love chocolate, and I do get it sometimes at home. Its totally amazing. "Wanna try it?" "ABSOLUTELY!" So I hand him back his bar, and break off a tiny piece to plop in my mouth. I can feel the warm goodness melting. Between the soothing waterfall and the taste of chocolate on my tongue, for the first time in the past few days, I feel relaxed.
It's still dark, but dawn is coming soon. We can only sit here for so long. "I think we better pack up soon. And keep the medical stuff handy. I have a bad feeling we are going to need it, soon." Sadly, the moment in paradise has ended. Only one thing would have made it better. One tiny thing, but I can't think about that now. I mustn't.
After everything is in order, packs and weapons, we eat the last bit of shark meat. I think to myself that we are going to need more food soon. Sponsors may be more help than the bodies of water, as Brent died last time we tried to 'fish.' As I'm pushing the thought away for now, Cedar stands up. "Come on girly, lets get going for the day."
But, no sooner are the words out of his mouth, when a boy, maybe district 7? nearly walks into Cedar. How he managed that, I have no idea, but he realizes he's in danger and darts away. Cedar seems momentarily stunned. What kind of idiot walks into another tribute in THG? Then, Cedar is pulled back into the moment.

((ready to fight, Adena!?))
((Cedar))The moment of bliss has pretty much ended with the rising sun, so i get up and say, "Come on girly, let's get going for the day." but we pack up our stuff in peaceful silence, treasuring the time we have together. Our stuff is pretty much all packed up now, but i scan the area for anything we may have lost, but all seems normal, nothing but rocks and more rocks. Suddenly, a force hits me in the side, and it would have knocked me over if my footing had been off. I look down to see if it was Fade, (she's the only person i would think would have run into me) but to my surprise, it's not. It's a boy! im pretty sure he's from district 7, but there's no time to lose. This kid's obviously an idiot, who else would have the stupid to waltz into the career's camp? No one, that's who. I whip out Brent's sward before he can even comprehend what happened. Looking up, the scragly boy scurries back in fear, fumbling for a dagger at his belt. Fade comes rushing to my side, knives at the ready, but she stands a few feet behind me, for her knife throws, just like mine, are best aimed at a considerable distance, not so much hand to hand. The boy charges at me first, and my brain instantly goes into offensive mode, but then i think, ' no, this is Fade's time to shine' and deflect his slashes easily with my sward. I wonder if she'll start the torture show, or if i'll have to move it along, because as her first kill, she needs it to be as gory as possible, to get sponsors. God knows she'll need em if she's ever going to get through this thing. No! i will win. I just don't know if i can kill Fade to do so... OW! his dagger slices it's way through my shirt into my chest, a long but thin cut. Suddenly i hear a knife whizzing through the air, and Fade's shrill battle call...
((your turn Sam! have at him!))
((Fade, oh yeah!))
Cedar seems to be on offensive mode for a minute. Then he seems to think for a second just deflecting blows. Then, once I have my pair of daggers out, he steps to the side, but not before taking a long, if not deep, slash to the chest. I wince, but plow forward to take the stage. I need to get a knife in the boy fast before I can really take him down. The boy is a solid 6 inches taller than me, and a lot heavier. He aims a kick for my head, but I just duck. His miss sends him off balance so I thrust upward, sending a knife into his gut. It takes a second for him to realize but as soon as I hear a loud grunt groan noise and the squishing of flesh, I know I've hit home.
I take a step back for a second, pulling the dagger out of him, but twisting it to make the wound bigger. He is doubled over, probably in intense pain, I've heard that is an extremely painful cut. He should have protected his torso better. Tsk Tsk. I'm small, but it works to my advantage.
After a second to catch my breath, I'm ready for action again. I leap up onto his back, as he is bent over. With my right arm screaming, I drive down into his lower back, making him let out another scream. I'm thrown off him, causing me to probably get a few bruises, but I'm all adrenaline so I feel nothing. I plan to mutilate this boys body as much as possible, make him feel as much pain as I can. He's stupid and deserves it. Stupid people are dangerous. ((hahaha))
Still panting, I go in for the kill. He's lost so much blood, he stands no chance. I tackle him, despite my smallness. He's got no strength. I end up with my knee on his throat, deciding how to take him out forever. I decide to slit his throat, at the Adam's Apple. so, I bring my knife across his throat. He's bound to bleed to death, if not die from lack of air. But, for good measure I plunge my cleaner dagger into the soft spot between his rib cage.
I let Cedar pull me up, and we're both all bloody again. Now he's seen the ruthless killer in me too. I should feel ashamed or regretful, I guess, but all I'm getting is pride. That was pretty awesome. I just demolished a guy a heck of a lot bigger than me. The kid probably isn't gone yet and I haven't heard a canon yet. The boy suffered an inordinate amount if pain for a death, so I'm hoping I made an impression.
I'm lost inside my head, forgetting about Cedar momentarily. He has my arm, and is leading me away. We scoop up our packs and he says "let's clean up." I haven't taken stock of any injurys, barely given him a thought, and still in awe of my kill. It was completely different from the boy at the cornucopia. I put a knife in him and he was gone. Now that Cedar has stopped walking, I'm drawn back to the world. He is looking at me expectantly and I don't know what he's said or thought. I look back expectantly waiting for something. I know we need to clean the pair of us up, but first I need to see what he has to offer.

((Cedar))I stand and watch as Fade stabs the boy again and again with her knives, and i can only help but think, 'Damn she's good.' i do admit, she did give them quite a show. She steps back from the pile of meat that once was her enemy moments ago, heaving breath and covered with blood. I can tell she needs to keep moving, if she just stands there, she could pass out with all of that adreneline pumping through her. I grab her arm and can tell she's in some kind of shocked state, so i drag her a few feet then stop, for we're both out of breath. The two of us, covered in blood, hair frayed, wild expresions, we look like monsters, and in one crazy moment, i realize, she's perfect. I pull her in and kiss her hard and passionately, and to my surprise, she meets me with blazing force, taking over completely. Her arms wrap around me and caress my blood-stained back, and i reach up to hold her head in one hand and her waist in the other. My fingers tug at her matted hair and she presses herself closer, deepening the kiss. And for that moment, i know, that despite our flaws and these crazy games, she is mine, and i am hers and we will stand together until the last moment.
((Sam! im assuming that this is what you've been hinting towards, so let's roll with it!))
((haha that is what I was hinting,I'm in that kinda mood cuz in the book I'm reading the idiot main character is too thick to get that the guys like her, blah blah blah. So anyways, yeah half unconsciously I have been. As you said, "let's roll with it".))
((Fade))
I'm staring at Cedar. I just can't help myself. After all the hell we've been through, he must understand. In a split second his expression changes from wonder and confusion to wild certainty. He makes the first move, though now I'm hyper-aware of him. We are a mess. Covered and soaked completely in blood, mud, and god knows what else. Half crazy and emotional. Yet, I know he's it, he's perfect for me. So, in this stunning moment, he pulls me in and I meet him. Our lips crashing together like the waves that I can hear in the distance. I wrap my arms around his midsection and hold him tight. I'm so short, but its perfection. I run my hands along his bloody wet back, while he takes my head in one hand and my waist in the other. I love the way it feels. With his hand on my head, he tugs gently at my matted hair. In a ride a feeling, I press even closer, willing myself to become part of him. In the back of my head I know we are in The Hunger Games, but I honestly can't help myself. How this could ever work, I don't know. But, I don't care. I hope he feels the same way. I could never kill him. Ever. I know that not only in my heart, but my mind too. I would rather die, and I very well may. I don't ever want this moment to end, but it has to.
A cannon fires. We jump, still together and I breathe. I couldn't say if I had in the past few minutes, though I must have. I now have two kills offically. Since we are in the Games still, I grab Cedars hand and look him in the eyes. He's still a filthy mess, but he's beautiful in my eyes. I try to convey the level of feeling, and he seems to get it. I'm going crazy with desire, but I'm also a survivor and we have to get moving. Most of Cedar's shirt is gone and I see a bloody gash across his chest. It can't be too bad, but it needs to be cleaned. I'm sure I tore the healing skin on my shoulder and I throb all over, so I'm unsure of what other injuries I face. I'm covered in so much blood, I have no idea how much is mine, how much is Cedar's, and how much is the boys. Thank god Cedar's sponsors sent the medical stuff...
The audience. I haven't thought of anything but my fellow tributes and Cedar in ages. How are they reacting? These Games must be a hit. Many of the events are unheard of. A big district 1 boy gone down in the first 3 days, killed by an ally. The partner hooking up with the killer. Kissing is rare in general, but out of district. I have no idea what to expect in terms of outside reactions. Home? What do they think of me? Skye. I love him. I owe all my knowledge to him. He knows that, but as my big brother, I think he would support me, even against everybody else. He's the only one I really care about. I'm satisfied with that though, and I need to focus. Do either of us have sponsors anymore? Do we have MORE? I know the Gamemakers could kill us in minutes. A lot of shit could happen. But here's the thing: I'm not sure I care anymore.
Bringing me back to reality, Cedar says "Come on, let's get out of here, let's go back to the waterfall." My eyes shine, "Clean up? Chocolate? I'm there." With renewed strength and confidence, I keep my hold on his hand and start pulling him back to the waterfall. Its become like a haven now.

((Cedar))A cannon fires. We both jump, and for a second, i cuss silently in my head. The kiss, wished it would never end, but we're in THG, and happiness always gets killed off first in the arena. We stand together, and Fade takes my hands. I read the message loud and clear, but i know too, that we need to get going. We're both bloody messes, and we need to wash off before we go anywhere else. Plus, i have, and she probably has too, wounds to heal. so i say, "Come on, let's get out of here. Let's go back to the waterfall." Her eyes glimmer with excitement, "Clean up? Chocolate? Im there." so, with our stuff regathered, we hold hands lovingly as Fade smiles widely up at me.
When we get back to our old camsite, i give a sigh of relielf, if anywhere in the arena, this would be our home. I drop my pack and fling off the scrap of fabric that was once my shirt, pull down my bloodstained ripped jeans, and fling myself into the water in a perfect swan dive. i come up splashing my arms in a fountian of spray, and although it's not the salty goodness of home (swimming in the salt water here would surely get me eaten), it sure beats being covered in sweat and blood. I feel safest in the water, but Fade stands aquardly at the bank, having striped down to her underclothes as well. I swim over to her in a strong front crawl. "Fade, it's alright, i've got ya'." she leans her way into my arms, and we hold each other for a moment. "Put your feet down, you can touch." the bottom's sandy and fresh, my toes dig down into it. The water only comes shoulder high on her, while im torso, but she says, "you first," so i turn around as she scrubs my back with a wad of our precious gauze. "Done," she whispers, and turns around. Only now do i realize how much skin we're showing. She's only wearing a bra on top, and i don't know how she feels about being this close to me, but gingerly, i wipe down her back. She turns to face me, and gives me a peck on the lips, then pushes me back into the water, laughing. we swim and laugh and eat chocolate, happy.
I climb to the highest point my legs can take me. My eyes are bulging out of my face, searching far past the horizean. I see the two tributes from 6. I charge. Startling them out of their tracks i bring out two daggers. Their reflexes kick in but they are two late. I hope they are gone.....((So now do i just pick a number from 1-1000 and the tributes from 6 (Josh and Lauren) pick one too?))

((Fade))
As soon as we get to the pool by the waterfall, Cedar tears off what used to be his shirt. Its no more than rags now, though. Then he takes off his ripped and dirty jeans, leaving him in just his undergarments. All happens in a matter if seconds, before he executes an excellent dive straight into the water. Being from district 4 has definite advantages here. He's bobbing up and down, needlessly, as the water barely clears his torso. For a few seconds, I can only stand there. I haven't seen a boy I like so much, this exposed. He's great looking, despite filth and injuries, and I can't help but admire. After a long moment, I start to strip too.
Cedar doesn't really notice me until I'm standing nervously by the edge of the water. In the being of the games, when I swam in the waves, I had so much adrenaline pumping, I could do anything. Now, I'm just Fade and Fade has no idea how to swim. Cedar starts swimming towards me, explaining, "Fade, it's alright, i've got ya'." I take a giant 'leap' of trust, and ease my way into his arms. The water isn't a bad temperature and is Heaven on my filthy skin. I'm still nervous, because despite the seemingly shallow depth on Cedar, I'm nearly a foot shorter and a lot lighter. I have no idea if I can stand. So, I just hold onto Cedar, until he says ""Put your feet down, you can touch." In a second, I breathe a sigh of relief, I can stand, although the water is about up to my shoulders.
We need to clean up so I order "you first." He turns around, giving me a wad of gauze to scrub with. I wash his back firm, but softly, removing layers of grime. He's so warm, even in the lukewarm water. And he seems to be able to maintain his salty scent, even after everything. In a short amount of time, I'm done. "Done" And I hand the cloth over. He gently rubs me down, and I'm extra aware that I have very little on. A small shiver runs down my back. His hands feel so good.
When he's done, I turn around and kiss him briefly, to let him know I liked it. Then I shove him back into the water and we play around for a while. I'm still cautious in the water, but I think Cedar will be able to catch me if I start to drown or something. Laughing and letting the dirt slide away, we play the day away. It's hard to believe I murdered that boy this morning.
As the sun starts to go down, we come out of the water, dry off and eat a treat. I love chocolate... I lean on his chest and we watch the sunset. I forget I'm in the Games, not paradise. After a while, I feel my eyelids get heavy. I say "I think we should sleep soon." He nods in agreement, deep in thought, it seems, though he may just be exhausted as well. I'm not sure when he last slept. "Do we really need watches? I really just want to sleep and you need to too." I propose. "I guess not, just try to be alert and don't sleep too deep." he confirms. So, we arrange the bags and both keep out weapons close. I hope he sleeps, he must know that we will NOT be attacked in the night. We are still in the games but I know we'll be safe ... Then, I lean in and together we lay down. I kiss him goodnight and use his chest as a pillow as I drift away into sleep. The last thing I feel is his arms wrap around me and a soft tickle of a whisper in my ear of something unintelligible. Then, I'm asleep.

((oh, I just thought it said Cedar... That's where the first aid kit and the chocolate came from, so I don't think we missed too much.))
((Cedar))We eventually make our way out of the water, dry off, and bandage our wounds. As we eat chocolate and watch the sun set, Fade cuddles up to me and proposes the idea of having no one on watch. I agree, I'm exhausted, plus, I know that as a team, we can take on any challenge. So we organize our stuff and place our weapons close at hand. Though our sleeping bags are about as close to each other as they could get, Fade insists in sharing mine between the two of us. She slides in beside me as I take in her warmth. She nuzzles her head down into my chest and I wrap my arms around her in a tight embrace. "I love you" I breathe into her ear, as we drift slowly off to sleep.
