The Capitol

Caelib yelled. the whip was making his blood throb as a sharp knife was about to cut his throat. "I am Caelib denirn, from district 2 and,and i just want to join your group"." U dont know whats its like to be alone fighting till u die". He got up and pulled the whips metal strands off his hand. He looked at the girl and held his right hand over the other. "So, can join you guys".

Just when I thought things would be peaceful for the night Caelib appeared from behind a tree, decreeing that he wanted to join our alliance. Caelib was from my district, I had spent many days admiring his good looks with my friends. I had always idolized him, and kind of had a crush, but I wasn't sure if all that was enough to let him join us.

I knew he could definitely carry his own weight. He had attended the same school as me, Burgins Academy. It was a school where careers were trained in their unique fighting style. I had witnessed Caelib defeating almost ten other boys with nothing but his spear. He was also talented runner, as I had found out in a track meet.

As Catalya emerged from the cave she snapped back her arm, and then brought it back down to a resting position in a quick motion. Her whip went flying through the air, and upon contact I heard Caelib yelp. The cord wrapped itself around his hand, the metal shards digging themselves into his skin. As I saw Caelib's expression of pain I felt enraged.

I pumped the muscles in my legs, propelling myself in Catalya's direction. When our bodies collided I heard a bone-shuddering thud, and I brought her to the ground. Everything after that was a blur of white, the hard packed snowballs falling all around us. One hit me in the back of the head, leaving a large welt, but at that moment I didn't care.

"Don't touch him!" I screamed. The voice that came from my throat was unrecognizable, as if it were not even my own. I glared down into Catalya's eyes a deep longing to slice her face in half developed inside of me, but I fought the feeling and got off the girl. Angrily, I stomped back towards Caelib. "Leave! You cannot join us." I said, my eyes began to produce tears but I refused to let them fall.

I was torn between clinging to the only familiar person in this arena, or my own survival. Although in the end I knew which one was more necessary. "I won't kill you, but you have to leave. Go now!" I yelled, and then I walked back into the cave. Hunkering down next to the fire I let a few tears escape from my eyes, but I knew that I shouldn't appear weak so I did my best to stem the warm flow.

I looked at Arlathina and i ran knowing that one of them would have killed me that instant and all i had was a spear that wouldn't be able to do anything big but i could start a fire and i knew i had to get away from the others so i hid behind a distant rock and i knew they wouldn't suspect me to stay behind and as i layed behind a rock my blood flow was fast like the wind. i thought about Arlathina, She went to Burgins Academy and i knew she kinda liked me but i didn't show my feelings after all she could be the one who kills me.I thought about how i could get around the edges and find some food while i watched them but as i was running towards another tree while it was snowing a boy was standing in front of me with a baseball bat that was like the size of a big tv and the boy looked young like a district 3 boy. i reached out my hand and he did too ,we both greeted each other and his name was Gidean. Just the two of us we scouted around the girls nearby as i turned around it all turned black. the last glimpse of the boy was a smile on his grinning devilish face.

I wake up.....
And i notice the ground is facing upside down as my feet are hanging from a line the boy was sitting down and his bat was with him as a fire was starting my most noticable guess was that my hunting knife was still in my pocket and all i had to do was cut the line,fall down in perfect position,and kill him but thanks to him was that he was gonna try to eat me or something else cause he looked like a Rambo/Terminator on his face as he was smiling, waiting for me to make my move so i got out my knife and i tryed to cut the string but it was too late.He was charging towards me with his bat so i threw my knife at him and one of my strings ripped of as the knife penetrated towards his neck as i fell towards the ground next to him, with his light blood on my hands i felt enraged because this is what i would have to do when i get inside territory. KILL THEM ALL OR THEY KILL YOU. I rolled the boys body down the hill as i watched his body losing blood, his heart would give up and he would die within a matter of minutes now. I hold my knife in one hand as the cannons sound and Gidean the boy i just killed face was in the sky and the eighteen of us left were now counting down to the final ten.

Catalya was stunned when Arlathina pummeled her. Bringing her down with a sickening thud. And what if he were going to kill us in our sleep? I thought bitterly. I luvckily still had my knife in my hand if she did try to slice my throat I sill had the blade to the stomach. Alot more painful then a blade to the throat. But she got off of me, still enraged I could see water in her eyes and realized that that boy was from her district. She had been trained in a career academy like them, but unlike them she was an orphan and forced to drop out around the age of 10. But she had found her natural calling was the whip.

Arlathina probably had a sentiment feeling for this boy, witch is why she wanted him to live. Or maybe they were just friends. Either way, Catalya had found her weak spot. But she would only uase it against her if it came to that. After all, it was a fight to the death right? Catalya stood, dusting off her pants and puicking up her whip. Glaring at Arlathina as she went inside the cave and the boy run the other way. "Well Faye, guess you and me are gonna take watch." She muttered and sat under a full tree. The ice still falling and her body temperature lowering but not as it had earlier. As much as she scorned Arlathina, she wasn't evil enough to kill some one in there sleep.

Daesung glanced up in alarm as it started to snow. What the hell? He started picking up his bag and saw Axel grab his water skin. Then Caysey seemed to have been hit by something, what was it? Then something hard, cold and dense, hit his shoulder and Daesung winced. Hail. Caysey must have been hit by hail. To the head? That couldn't be good. He darted foward and helped take some of the weight from Axel as he stumbled, carrying her. With that bad shoulder of his, it would be hard and agonizing. Axel was probably going ot get a lot of sponsers this night.

The three stumbled into the tiny cave. It was small, cramped and damp but it beat being out in the hail. His shoulder was still aching and he looked over at the other two. Daesung waited a few minutes, catching his breath, before crawling/shuffling over to Caysey. There was some blood on her forehead. Blood that was starting to freeze in the sudden temperature drop. He pulled out his first aid kit and ripped open some alcoholic wipes. Head wounds should be treated immediately. Otherwise... the outcome would not be good. With confident hands, he dabbed at the cut. Thankfully it wasn't as deep as he thought it was. It would still need stitches but.. she'd probably live.... if her brain or skull was undamaged. The hail was pretty dangerous. He bit his lips in thought. Unfortuantely he had used most of the thread on Axel... Did he have enough? He just threaded the left over thread and propped up Caysey's head on his lap.

"Pass the water will you?" He said to Axel without looking up.

Axel watched the others leave, and then it hit him, quite literally, in the head. A baseball sized ball of ice smacked him, and Axel fell to his knees. He felt blood trickle out of his ear, but he forced himself to his feet.

He turned, and attempted to run towards the hole the others were in. "P-Please! Don't let me die out here, you asses!" he called, running faster. He was pelted over ten times with the Iceballs, until he finally collapsed outside of the hole.

"A-Axel? Please?!"


(( It's up to you whether or not you would like to keep him alive. If you do, he'll actually grow a pair and start acting like a man. If not, he'll be dead, obviously. Just pull him in or leave him out to dry - Or, get wet, in this case. ))

((foreverxraining, the wound is located on Axel C.'s left shoulder not on his leg, just pointing that out.))

Axel C. watched as Daesung's hands moved swiftly over Caysey's head. It's as if he has some sort of magic ability to heal others or something. Axel C.'s eyes manages to be wide open throughout the entire process. Then, without even moving, Daesung says, "Pass the water will you?"

That's when Axel C. hears the two cannon shots go off in the distance symbolizing that two other tributes have died. Either from natural causes or other tributes, Axel C. doesn't care as he knows the arena is starting to get all the more lethal on everyone. The arena ever changing can be too much for people to handle, it already has affected one of his partners and himself as his shoulder is damaged yet again. Axel C. passes the waterskin to Daesung and watches as he continues his procedure to try and save Caysey's life, hopefully, successfully. She'll be a great use by becoming the hunter of the group and hunt animals and such.

Axel C. then hears footsteps coming from behind and then a nervous and troubled voice.

But it was too late. All this that had just happened to Axel C. had put him him over the edge on his nerves. He is jittery now and the slightest movement coming from behind him is like a threat trying to prey on the weak.

Axel C. pulled two rolled up acid balls and locked one in his slingshot in a matter of seconds. He didn't hear the first sentence as he went through with his reloading which only took seconds to do.

But Axel C. does hear, "A-Axel? Please?!"

When he hears that, though, it's already too late.

He's already aiming at his eyes and suddenly Axel C. shoots one at the other Axel's right eye. Then without even thinking about the next move, Axel C. fluidly takes the other ball and shoots at the other eye. If they were to reach their marks, the other Axel would suffer from a permanent blindness as the acid would burn right through the eye.

((Im giving you the choice, DarknessUndying, to either pull through with this or not. I would think your guy would get hit at least by one ball, but I would understand he would dodge the other. Again, I don't want you out of here unless you feel it is necessary and you won't regret it in the long run.))

At the sound of an acid ball hitting skin, Caysey sat up quick, hand rushing to bow. Her mind felt jumbled, blood rushing to it, but she managed to catch sight of what was happening. She raised her eyebrows up, hurting her stitches and lowered them, fumbling to grab an arrow and nock it. She pointed it out the door, prepared to shoot if necessary, but only then.

The hail was lightening up, although it was still snowing, enough to make it blurry to see. She quickly glanced around at the cave they were in, seeing that although it was small, it was perfect shelter. We need to build a fire, she thought.

Axel yelped slightly when a strange ball went into his eye. Waves of agony shot through him, and he clutched his now bleeding eye. He saw the other one and rolled to the side, getting into a small part of shelter. Instinctively, he pulled out his blowgun and loaded a dart into it.

He stood up slowly and raised the blowgun. "I'm through with playing nice! You help me survive, i'll help you survive. My knowledge surpasses most in the Arena. Now, to the crux of the matter -" He grunted, moving his other hand to his eye. The amount of blood was incredible. He quickly tore a bit of fabric from his shirt and covered his eye with it.

"So what'll it be? You want me dead? Take your shot. You don't? Let me the fuck in there!"

(( I apologise for the sudden cussing. ))

((Sorry I haven't posted, and won't be able to post for a while either!:] I'mgoing to see the Hunger Games on Friday,and I'm soooo excited :DDD))

Grace stood up at the sound of cannons and followed Catayla out. Two dead boies lay on the ground, neither of them Faye's or Arlathina's. At Catayla's suggestion to move the bodies, she shuddered slightly. It just felt...wrong. Of course, if she was going to survive out here, she would have to do stuff like this, but she hadn't expected to win anyway. A boy came out of the trees and introduced himself as Caelib, District 2. Grace noted how Arlathina was hesitant to kill him, and was in stead was letting him go. She raised an eyebrow. "One more to kill later on," Grace whispered, saying Arlathina's earlier words back to her.

She rolled her eyes, and headed back into the cave. It was probably a bad idea to get on Arlathina's nerves, but she couldn't help it. She was cold, tired, hungry , and damn she was thirsty. A sudden idea came to her, and she picked up some snow in her bare hands and held it in front of the fire. Her hands felt numb with the cold, but she ignored it, and as soon as it melted she drank up the water. She headed back out to the rest of the group.

"At least this weather won't last long," Grace said. "I mean, it was roasting earlier. Maybe in the morning, it will be warm again." She absentmindedly rubbed the sunburns on her arm, as she realized their problem tommorow would be water. She noticed a few daffodils sprouting out from beneath the snow. Maybe it's almost over, she thought hopefully.

((Sorry if it seems kinda' rushed, my Mum keeps tellin' me I'm on the computer too much :/))

Caysey karn

Caysey shifted uneasily. She didn't want to kill if her allies wanted him on their team, but she also didn't think it would be smart to have someone who hates an ally of hers guts on the team. She gave a slight look to Axel C. then to Daesung.

She needed an answer from them. Decisions were never her strong point, action was, but action without thinking when on a team never went well, and she knew that first hand, so she remained still, arrow nocked in boy, waiting for instructions, or a signal to shoot.

Daesung sighed as the voice yelled at them. But first, he gently took Caysey's shoulder's and pulled her back down in to a laying position, using his bag as a pilllow. "Stay down, let go of the bow, head wounds shouldn't be treated so lightly."

Then he glanced at Axel C. He seemed to have a little bit of a temper... he was a guy that liked to be in control and was obviously expecting to win this thing. He slowly got up. The poor kid out there must be in a lot of pain.

"I'm letting him in," Daesung said in a low voice that would stand for no arguement. "Maybe you can leave him out there, but I can't." He shifted the the small but useful boulder at the opening without waiting for an answer. When he saw the blood he rolled his eyes. Oh. Great. Another wound that he would be expected to treat.

"Get in and shut the hell up." He said grabbing the scruff of the smaller guys neck and dragging him in. "You'll attract the others with your loud hollering." Then he reached for a bandage and some more disinfectant. "It'll hurt like hell but it's better than infection." He eyed the boy with an expression that almost showed boredom. "Geez, Axel, did you really have to hit his eye?"

Axel smiled softly when he was allowed in. "Thanks.. Daesung, was it?" He said, the blood from his eye trickling down his arm.

"You don't need to waste your supplies on me. I'm here to help in any way i can. I'll live with one eye. Heh..." He laughed slightly, wincing in pain.

(( So sorry for the short post! ))

Axel C. slowly nods to Daesung accepting the other Axel in. Axel C. would've done the same, he's not as heartless as he might turn out to look like, but then again he grunts when he sees the other Axel walking inside. He better be of some use for the group or else it would most likely endanger them all. He looked at Axel's eye and sees the blood trickling down his cheek.

"Sorry for that, I wasn't really expecting anymore company and I was mostly defending our vulnerable state..." Axel C. said as the other Axel made his way inside the cave.

Axel C. doesn't expect an apology anytime soon, or ever, for that matter. Instead Axel C. sits by Caysey and watches as Daesung gets his supplies out to help Axel.

"Geez, Axel, did you really have to hit his eye?" Daesung would ask, his voice sounding a bit aggitated from all that's been happening.

"That's where I always aim, no matter what, always..." Axel C. would reply as he looked away and set his eyes upon Caysey.

As Axel rejected the needs for medical attention, Axel C. is already smirking. Wasting medical supplies on a hopeless eye that will be lost eventually to the acid, is futile, and Axel recognizing that proves he's got common sense. Axel C. doesn't care if anyone sees his smirk and he doesn't look to see if anyone has awcknowledged it, all he cares for at this moment is Caysey's wound.

He quickly takes off his coat and lays it on her as he watches Daesung switch his attention to her. He looks outside to see that the hail has stopped, but it is still snowing. Since they are in a cave, it's best that two people from the group go out to get some fire wood.

"Come on, Axel, it's time to prove your worth." Axel C. said as he makes his way outside the cave expecting the other Axel to follow.

Even if it is freezing outside, Axel C. can make due with his long-sleeved shirt, although he won't last long and will have to make it back within minutes, but it's enough time to get a suitable amount of fire wood for warmth.

Caelib checked his distance as he needed a new plan,water and food were his only existance and the snow was going to kill him if he didn't find shelter soon. He reached inside his pack and looked at some of the things he had : A rock,matches,and a cap for his head. He then heard a voice as the anounncer laughed with pleasure. " The games have intensed and weapons are what everyone needs, well in the middle of the arena any weapon is available but hurry before the weapons run out after all may the odds ever be in your favor". Caelib knew this was his moment to Get a weapon and kill someone because he had an idea to get the games going .

He ran towards the middle of the arena as snow was plucking him towards the hard ground. He finally got there and the weapon category was amazing he saw a machete that would do perfectly and he put it in his pack and found some water too. He knew that the regular person would leave but he needed this place so he stayed behind and took out his machete,spear,and gripped his hunting knife waiting for the next person to come out of the woods.

Caysey Karn

Caysey didn't react as Daesung pulled her back down into laying position, happy as her mind began to calm down. She slightly listened to the conversation, half zoned out and thinking about it. It didn't matter if she had a bad wound, she needed to make the fastest recovery she could. Caysey heard the hail stop, but the snow continuing, at a constant decrease.

When Axel was let in, she was slightly happier, that meant she wouldn't have to kill him. Well, not yet any way. Axel C. moved to a sitting position near her, and she instantly smiled. Her first ally, still her closest. When he gave her his coat though, it made her feel bad, and out of instinct she sat up, taking it and handing it back to him.

"If you're going outside, you'll need that." She said, her voice insistant. "I'll be fine."

((I think someone should get a sponsor gift... Ideas?))

( Anyone else can im gonna stay in this place with a bunch of weapons )

Catalya stood under the tree, Faye guarding the entrance with her. She needed more weopans then a tiny knife and a whip, that would hurt. But wouldn't kill. She glanced at Faye for a moment and made her way into the cave. Silently grabbing three matches and walking out. Hiding them in her sleeve. "Don't die Faye." Catalya said to her and left, grabbing some snow and dropping into her mouth as she left before Faye could protest.

She ran until she was heavy in the lungs and saw all the weopans. Ranging from knives to bats. She knew somebody was there, waiting for some one like her to stumble out and strike. But she neede weopans badly, taking one glance behind her she moved forward, Narrowing her eyes at all the bushes. Hoping no one saw her due to her black hair and clothes. Even thow it was horrible in the day.

((Ashtonwolf, there wouldn't be any left, and you can only use the type you have a specialty with))

((Then scratchthe whole how Catalya ran to the weopans. Say she just ran off and hid in a tree!))
