Juniper was glad that Benji wrapped the wound, and it did feel better for the most part. "T-thank you." She stammered, taking the supplies and putting them into a pile next to her dagger. Suddenly she looked up when Benji started to speak, did he... like her? Oh. Quickly looking away Juniper blushed, the way he started his sentence had gotten her hopes up, Benji obviously didn't like her the same way she liked him. All of a sudden Benji called her pretty, swinging her head around her eyes widened, either with surprise or happiness, before he added the.. neat... at the end. "Oh..." Juniper murmured, looking away again. "You're pretty.. neat too. It's cool how you..." she was going to say: stood up for me and melanie, but couldn't bring herself to the words. Choking back more tears, Juniper added, "Sorry I ah, uh, that wasn't what I thought you were going to say.."

She would pause, taking in what just happened and his words. Sleep did sound really good right now, especially with how tired she was. Letting out a sigh of...Relief? Worry? Sadness? It was hard to tell, it was a flurry of different emotions. Giving Josh one last peck on the cheek, she laid her head back down on his shoulder, wrapping her arms around him and cuddling him tightly. "...Josh...I-I don't think I want to be the v-victor...I just...N-Nevermind." Kyra looked away, another tear going down her eye softly.

indentationBenji watched Juniper's face go in a wide range of emotions but disappointment was the one that struck him. "Maybe she does..feel the same way?? The princess and the lumber jack..huh." His inner voice chuckled. In a spurt of bravery Benji opened his mouth to speak again. "L-listen I do...really...like you. And I do think you're pretty...God you're so beautiful Juniper...I'm..just nervous around you..You make me nervous.." He rushed his words out as the bravery faded quickly. He didn't understand what he was feeling, he has never felt this way before. His heart was pounding in his chest, his palms were clamy, and his mind was racing with doubt and his own insecurities. What if he read her wrong? That'll make everything..This whole alliance thing awkward. He'd probably throw himself in the river again with the meat-eating fish.

Juniper's heart beat even quicker, and she looked up at Benji again. "You.. you do? You like me?" She gasped, "I.. I thought I was just kidding myself!" Juniper couldn't help but smile, suddenly she realized that she was probably making the poor boy nervous and continued. "Oh Benji I like you too! A lot- you're so handsome and brave! I..." Juniper didn't know what to say, would a kiss be too much? Scooting over to him, Juniper wrapped her arms around Benji and hugged him tightly, although trying not to hurt any of the wounds.

"Then I don't want to win either.." Joshua murmured, knowing that his words were true. He didn't want to go home if that meant Kyra wouldn't be with him. He was just about to dose off when the panem national anthem blared again. This time it was an announcement. A shrill female voice cut through the arena. "Hello tributes. This is your Head Gamemaker Aelia Gold. Tomorrow morning at dawn, the Cornucopia will be restocked. You can come at your own risk. May the odds be ever in your favor tributes." Joshua blinked open his eyes. "A feast..."

Kyra however wasn't in Joshua's arms anymore, she has seemingly vanished from thin air...Where did she go....She was off in the forest, tears going softly down her cheeks as she felt anxiety pounding against her. But she knew what she had to do. No other tributes could die from the feast from Cassia...

She wasn't going to let her win. Even if it costed her own life.

Kyra nearly tripped on her own feet, searching all around for the murderous career, spear and knives in hand. She would tremble a little. She would miss Joshua, and she hoped that while she was gone that he would be ok..."...I'm sorry if I don't make it Josh...I promise I died for a purpose..." Exhaling, she started to think over her life, and what might happen...Crunching through the leaves, she started to feel a new rhythm go through her.

"...Try to lock me in this cage, I won't just lay me down and die...I will take these broken wings, just watch me burn across the sky...Hear the echo saying I won't be silenced..." She sung to herself, clenching her knife as memories of Cassia swept through her mind and of her malicious grin. Though you wanna see me tremble when you try it, all I know is I won't go SPEECHLESS..." Her words were true. If she did go down in this fight, she wouldn't go down without saying what she needed to say.

indentationBenji's face lit up with a huge smile. When Juniper hugged him, he wrapped his arms around her and squeezed, but not hard enough to hurt her. "Why wouldn't I like you..princess." He added jokingly as he pulled away slightly. As Benji stared into her eyes, a feeling crept up. "Kiss her YOU DUMMY!" His inner voice yelled. Benji didn't even think twice. He leaned in and planted his lips on Juniper's. It was a quick kiss, but it meant the world to Benji.

Cassia didn't count sheep when she couldn't sleep, she counted murders, and that was exactly what she was doing as she lay in her sleeping bag, trying to sleep. However the sound of... was that, singing, cut through the empty night. She recognized that voice actually. Oh little six are you back for more? Scrambling from her sleeping bag, Cassia held her axe close. She wished the cornucopia had night vision goggles, but alas not everything was included. Pinpointing the sound of the singing, Cassia moved towards it, stopping where she remembered to place her knives and took them with her. Standing behind a tree, the murderer got close enough to listen to her prey's footsteps. One set, she was alone. What had happened to her little boyfriend? Had he died? No, she would have heard a cannon shot. Waiting until the footsteps got close Cassia lunged forwards, cutting her axe through the night and hoping it would make contact with flesh. In a perfect world she would have gone back and killed Joshua first, but this was the Hunger Games, and she had to make this kill quick.

Juniper felt Benji's arms around her and she grinned. She giggled when he called her princess, at first it seemed like an insult but now it was just a sweet nickname. Juniper met Benji's eyes and felt a blush crawl up into her cheeks. Her eyes widened as he kissed her, and she quickly kissed him back. Juniper had never felt strongly for anyone before, it was such an amazing feeling. She never wanted him to let go of her, and she never wanted to let go of him.

Joshua waited for Kyra to respond, and he realized he couldn't hear the sound of her breathing, only the symphony of nearby crickets. "Kyra? Kyra! KYRA!" He shouted worriedly. Without even thinking he took off, as fast as he could manage, in any direction, feeling thorns rip into his clothes and he tried to find her. At some point his feet got wet, and at another point a tree branch whacked him in the head. At this point the arena had been plunged so far into darkness he couldn't see a single thing.

hailey grinned cheekily. "yeah, only took you like an hour to do it." she giggled, hopping on her toes. suddenly a thought came to her, and she stilled, her happy expression quickly fading away. "kipper, i don't know how to fight. i'm good with a slingshot but that's not helpful in close quarters." hailey dropped to the ground, sitting cross-legged. "how am i gonna survive this?" the young blonde put her head in her hands, hiding her face.

Lucky for Kyra, she had spotted the movement and flinched backwards, letting out a war cry. She didn't want to become this way as she scrambled forward with her spear towards Cassia.

Think Kyra, think...Think...Think...

For a split second, everything was calm for her. She remembered everything...The rejection of her family, the death and losses of her past friends, her being reaped, no one crying out for her or volunteering, not even her own family blinked one tear. Then Joshua...He was still alive sure enough, and that was her last ounce of happiness and spirit throughout the game. His goofy face and scent lingered through her...

This was for him. For the people that died. For the tributes that currently were suffering...And then she snapped out of this trance, and the fight began.

Clenching the spear tightly, she used it to block Cassia's next move, narrowing her eyes at her. "You..."

Cassia felt her blade only hit air, and she jumped backwards, knowing that the girl would be coming back her way. It was terribly hard to fight in the dark, and soon the area around them lit up with the light of flickering fireflies. Cassia knew better than to assume the gamemakers were helping them out. No, this was only so the cameras could see the fight better. Kyra's spear could have been better used at a longer range, so Cassia tried to stay closer to the girl, thrusting her axe at her rapidly. "You'd have had a better chance coming after me in the morning. But I won't complain. it is better for me to kill you now rather than later." She raised her axe to come crashing down on Kyra one more time, but it all happened too fast.
Feeling her back hit the ground Cassia knew it wasn't Kyra who hit her. "Oh well look who it is!" She laughed, grabbing the smaller boy and rolling over. Her axe wasn't good for combat like this, so he resorted to her fists. Punching Joshua in the face she took her brass bracelet and plunged the blade into the boy's throat. With a laugh Cassia stood up and retrieved her axe. "What now six?"

Joshua saw light ahead of him, fireflies? There had never been any fireflies in the arena before. Picking up his pace his saw two silhouettes fighting, and he heard... voices. One was the sinister tone of Cassia and the other was, no! Kyra! Joshua's stomach twisted with dread. Without thinking, he ran to the larger silhouette and tackled her to the ground. "Stay away from her!" He spat, trying to land a punch on Cassia. However, the career had the upper hand, and the tussle didn't last long until he felt something pierce his throat. It was a small blade but there was something that made it unnatural. Wheezing and coughing, Joshua sat up, there was nothing natural about that knife... suddenly his eyes widened. "K-kyra! P-p-poison!"
He sputtered at her.
