➵Sienna Mach-North| D7 |17|Tags:Moses,Rieka,Jay,Darius | loc:East
Sienna heard the shrieks of Jay and his sobs,“WE’RE COMING JAY HOLD ON BABY!!!” She screamed probably alerting other enemies but she could careless but the child she mentally adopted was sobbing and scared and Rieka was in danger. As she continued sprinting she crashed into Jay before quickly pulling him into her arms. The male tribute she had never seen before was still sprinting after Jay but she had a feeling he was a wimp but she had managed to pull a fish out of her pack to launch at someone if needed.“Let’s go save our ally Jay, but stick super close by me all right.” She whispered softly as she began jogging to catch up to Moses but looking back to make sure Jay would be with her. Or not the male tribute was still running and she definitely had enough time to throw the fish. So Sienna did what she did best, she chucked the fish at Darius’s face while they were both running. You could have sworn she had shot someone with that crystal clean,Smack! But it was just a fish being launched at weaklings face. Then she heard screams and she would have stopped and laughed but she needed to get to Rieka and help her.

➵Moses Grandy| D7 |18|Tags:Sienna,Rieka,Jay| loc:East
Moses was continuing running the trail back before he heard Jay’s wails of help.“HOLD ON KID WE’RE COMING, IS ANYONE FOLLOWING YOU!?!” He shouted before they stumbled into each other more like Sienna all most running Jay over. Moses would ask if he was all right later but all he could think about was the small girl he had adopted in his mind, Rieka. It’s crazy what the fight or flight and adrenaline does to a person. Moses had actually never ran this fast in his life, especially with a loaded weapon. He didn’t think they were that fair from the camp but they actually were. But now he was getting close to the screams. Moses looked over and say Sienna just snipe someone with a fish, that was one way to wound someone but they needed to get as much food and supplies as possible to help Rieka.But damn was he proud of Sienna’s arm.

Madeline Gomez//District 1//Female//A brat//Tagged; Careers

Madeline continued to scream until she ended up violently gagging. It felt like she had swallowed sandpaper. Her throat hurt and she found it hard to start screaming again without it feeling like her throat was on fire. She decided she had screamed enough, but she didn’t know if she wanted to go back to camp. The looks she’d receive from those stupid tributes she called her allies was enough to keep her away. She didn’t want to be scolded by Eden again.

Jay Fernandez//District 11//Male//Tagged;Reika, Sienna and Moses

Tears continued to stream down his face as he ran over to his allies. When he finally reached Sienna he quickly wrapped his arms around her, giving her a hug. The hug wasn’t in greeting, it was an attempt to calm himself down. He quickly let go, his own hug had barely helped him calm down but there wasn’t any time. They had to get to Reika.

He sniffled and nodded, making sure to stay close to Sienna. He didn’t want to have to fight the scary tributes alone. He watched as Sienna threw a fish at the scary tribute that had been following him. It would’ve been funny but not now. Not in this situation.

They needed to get to Reika NOW. She was in trouble and Jay didn’t know what he’d do if he lost her. She had just kissed him and now he was going to lose her. He didn’t want to lose her, not now.

The thought of losing her only made his sobs louder. He ran along with Sienna and Moses, getting closer and closer to camp. He could only hope that they’d get there in time.

Chaska looked up when Caspia answer Gloria, he had purposefully ignored his district partner. It was better than calling her out. After all he had already promised to have her back, so if he couldn't do that then he would at least not add fuel to the fire. When Caspia spoke to him he turned his gaze back to the other career. Taking a seat by Caspia he set his scythe on his lap and reached out to take the knife from Caspia. With his other hand he grabbed one of the fish and started to mimic the district four's movements. It was perfect of course but it was clear he had learned something by watching her gut the first fish. "Let me know if I do something wrong" Chaska said as he worked. He didn't want to do something wrong and only find out afterwards. He managed to get through the scales and was starting on the innards when a scream filled the air around them. It was the sound of a small kid in a lot of pain. His head snapped up and without pausing to see if anyone else had heard he stood up. As he stood he let go of the fish and the knife and grabbed onto his scythe. Pivoting he bolted. There were only so many kids in this game and he didn't want to wait to find out which kid was in pain right now. Instead he had to get to them fast.

With yet another impressive burst of speed Sharnaz launched forward slamming her much larger frame into the tiny albino who had the balls to run away. She was barely able to dodge around the falling tribute and watched with glee as Rieka crashed to the ground. With a dramatic swing she aimed for the tiny kids arm, unfortunately for her the kid rolled to the side and she missed. With an angry sweep she managed to catch Rieka's shoulder, cutting to the tiny kids shoulder blade. A shriek of pain left Rieka's lips but shockingly the kid was super resilient and kept rolling away and started to lunge to their feet. What she had failed to notice was how close they had come to the career's camp. The chase had been so wildly she hadn't even thought to keep track of where they were. If she had known she would have tried to keep the kid quiet. However now they had just unknowingly let the careers know where they were.

Rieka kept running, after all it was all she could do, her stick had already been long since lost. With her heart pounding in her ears and fear coursing through her veins she didn't really have time to think about that. Suddenly something slammed into her back and she flew forward, crashing to the ground and landing in a heap. Without waiting to allow the breath that had been driven out of her lungs to return she instead rolled to her side, narrowly avoiding a really bad blow. As she drew in her breath the dagger made contact with her shoulder, slicing through to the bone. The air that had only just made it into her lunch was released in a scream of pain. Tears sprang to her eyes as she pushed herself to keep rolling until she could stumble to her feet. The only thought in her mind was that she had to get away. She had to delay them just a little while longer, she knew her allies would come to save her. All she had to do was survive long enough for them to get to her. As Rieka jerked forward she prayed that Jay was okay, the only thing she was glad about this situation was that Sharnaz wasn't anywhere near Jay.

(Note: Zyn gave me permission via Discord to powerplay Reyna stabbing Rieka.)


➵ Darius Silk
With a smug, self-assured smile, Darius turned to look behind him. That was the moment a huge airborne object smacked him in the face. Sharp fins cut across his cheek, drawing blood. Darius let out a scream of panic and fell to the ground. His face was wet, why was it wet! His hands shot to his face and came away bloody, thanks to the fins slicing his cheek.
"Aaaah! I've been shot!" Darius screamed in a high-pitched voice, scrambling to hands and knees to drag himself into the forest. He sobbed as he pulled his wretched self into some bushes to curl up and, presumably, die. How dramatic!


➵ Reyna Byrne of District Twelve
➵ Location: East
➵ Tagged: Sharnaz, Rieka, Chaska, Eden
This was it, they'd taken down the pesky kid. Now Reyna could silence the little brat for good. She was a fighter, this little Rieka, and that both thrilled and enraged Reyna. She loved a good fight, but not when the prey was thirteen years old and still managing to escape them. Now this was just getting embarrassing.
Thankfully, Sharnaz did most of the work in taking the kid down. But Reyna wasn't about to let her ally steal the glory. Just as Rieka scrambled to her little feet, Reyna lunged at her and thrust the blade forward. This time, her attempt to stab the kid succeeded.
"Finally. Now you can shut up, you little punk. You should've thought twice before messing with us at lunch. That was all your fault, by the way," Reyna gloated as she took her sword away. No cannon had fired, though. Was this determined little brat still alive?
Reyna raised her blade to finish the kid off, but somebody got in the way. Her sword slashed that bleeding-heart idiot from District One instead. Since when did he get here? Oh no, if he's here, then Chaska might be here too. I have to run!
The murderer from Twelve turned to flee, unaware it was already too late for her.


➵ Eden Beauregard of District One
➵ Location: Careers' Camp
➵ Tagged: Careers, Rieka, Sharnaz, Reyna
A child's scream of pain pierced the air, turning Eden's blood to ice. His intuition was right in the worst possible way.
"Come on!" He called out to his allies, then darted off to join Chaska at once. The swords felt light and cold in his hands, ready to cut down whichever mutt or tribute caused this atrocity. This time he wouldn't hesitate to kill.
Long, strong legs took Eden across the plains, helped by the motherly protectiveness burning in his heart. He didn't care what happened to him. There was a child, a child in danger, and nothing would stop Eden Beauregard from saving his baby.

But when he and Chaska reached the scene, it was too late. They arrived just in time to see Reyna stab the poor child with her damned sword. She pulled the blade away, boasting and bragging, then raised her weapon for another strike.
"No!" With a cry of horror, Eden leaped between them and wrapped his arms around little Rieka. Sharp pain blazed across his back as Reyna's blade slashed him, but he didn't care. Hurt my child? Over my dead body!
He cradled the child protectively, tucking her close to his chest. The murderers would literally have to go through him to hurt this little baby. "Shhh, I'm here now. We won't let them hurt you anymore," He murmured, rocking her like an infant in an attempt to calm her. That's when he noticed the dark stain spreading across her shirt. Blood.
"Heavens no," Eden whispered, tears flooding his eyes. "Rieka, I'm so sorry."


➵ Garry Woods of District Seven
Despite his pounding heart, Garry couldn't help but feel proud of his tributes. They'd save little Rieka, he believed in them. Judging by the way Sienna felled that District Eight coward with an airborne fish, Sharnaz and Reyna didn't stand a chance. They'd be faced with Sienna's and Moses's actual weapons. Even Garry, a self-proclaimed pacifist, couldn't wait for those child-murdering bullies to feel the wrath of District Seven's brand of vigilante justice. They deserved a taste of their own medicine!
His eyes widened in horror as that heartless District Twelve girl stabbed the smallest tribute. As Reyna started to gloat, Garry's face twisted with absolute disgust. "You think stabbing a child in the stomach is worth being proud of? Disgusting. You're not even human; you can't even pretend to be one." He hissed at the screen, unable to control his anger. "But you just wait. Sienna and Moses will teach you a lesson."


➵ Himaya Hannock of District Eleven
Himaya was satisfied that her lonely tribute found a potential ally. She'd been worried at first when Zoe approached the three worst tributes in the arena, but now she could relax. Demitra was a killer but didn't seem to be a traitor. Of course, Himaya would always hate Demitra for killing Colby and tearing apart that alliance, but she would tolerate the girl as long as she treated Zoe well.
As for Jay, he got a kiss on the cheek from his best friend Rieka. So cute. That little girl was so sweet, Himaya approved of her being his son's "girlfriend" even if Jay was too young for a real girlfriend. Puppy love was just adorable.

Himaya's warm smile turned to silent horror as those three tributes from earlier made their reappearance. The children were under attack! Heart pounding, Himaya turned to Jill - who seemed to be even worse off. She'd never seen such panic on Jill's normally grinning face. "Our kids are smart, they'll figure something out," Himaya mumbled, trying to stay calm and composed. "It'll be okay."
She was wrong. So, so wrong, as Reyna drove her sword through that dear child.
A horrible scream erupted from Jill as she threw a plate to the floor, shattering it. Himaya rose from her seat to wrap her arms around her now-raging girlfriend, but Jill was inconsolable, lashing out at everything in sight in her rage and grief. Himaya didn't know what to say. She didn't know what she could say - no words would save Rieka's life now.

➵Sienna Mach-North| D7 |17|Tags:Moses,Rieka,Jay,Darius | loc:East
Sienna smiled apathetically to Jay as they ran together back to the camp but it was too late and she had spotted Eden,Reyna,Sharnaz and some others of the career pack.“Jay take the blanket to Eden,I’ll share Moses’s and mine with you.” She said with the life drained from her face and mouth hoarser then the Sahara desert. She whipped her attention to Reyna as she grabbed a fish from her pack. Reyna hated water so she had to hate fish, it was perfect now she was going to get her revenge for poor Rieka fighting for life.“Oh Reyna... I have a present for you.” She said with smooth coyness and a sadistic smile for once in her life. The brunette walked over to Reyna with a skip in her step before she slapped Reyna across the face once, then twice, and then a third till Sienna had to be pulled off by Moses and the partners swapped out. She just dropped the fish on Reyna as a little token of her affections before walking over to Rieka and Eden. Sienna softly caressed Rieka’s cheek like a loving mother.“Rieka,c-can you still here me? Would you like me to sing you something?” She asked with shaky breaths trying to be strong for the small girl. First Colby. Now this sweet child....

➵Moses Grandy| D7 |18|Tags:Sienna,Rieka,Jay,Eden ->Reyna| loc:East

Moses had made it to the camp but it was too late, Rieka being coddled by Eden. He bolted over leaving Sienna to comfort Jay as he ran to his sweet Albino child. Moses noticed the slashes on her body and the dark stain seeping through his shirt.H-his child.... His sweet innocent child. How could they do this to her. His blood boiled with rage as his face paled there wasn’t a cannon yet so there was hope. He looked over to Eden with tears in his eyes as he gently caressed Riekas head.“Rieka I’m so sorry,forgive me please.” Moses said as he let out a small sob as he took off his token and draped around his neck over the dying child. The redhead pressed a kiss to her forehead before whipping around to the murders he had the urge to shoot them but no they didn’t deserve weapons.

Moses sprinted and switched out with Sienna who had been beating Reyna with a fish. Now it was his turn as he slammed Reyna to the ground.“You dishonorable Witch!!!” He snarled into Reyna’s face as he slammed his fists into her face repeatedly.“You should have found a real tribute to prey on. But no you had to murder my child and I will continue this till her cannon fires or a career wants to switch with me.” Moses repeated shaking Reyna like a maraca before looking her dead in the eyes. He would have never hit a women in his life but now it was different. His fever was raging and he was raging, there was no stopping him as his fists continued plunging into her face. Then he stopped and stood up keeping a boot on her so she wouldn’t flee for any other tribute to get there revenge.“Don’t worry Reyna I’m just sharing the wealth.” He hissed venomously.

Madeline Gomez//District 1//Female//A brat//Tagged; Careers

Madeline looked back at the camp as the screams of a child echoed through the arena. The Careers seemed to be heading to the rescue, of course they were. Stupid Eden and his stupid big heart. She didn’t follow, she wasn’t going to help some pathetic parasite. They could die for all she cared.

Jay Fernandez//District 11//Male//Tagged;Reika, Sienna and Moses, Careers

Jay ran even faster as soon as he heard Reika’s screams of pain and terror. No. This couldn’t be it. He had to get there, he had to see her. He had to make sure she was safe.

Completely ignoring Sienna, he picked up the pace, racing ahead of his allies. He was no longer concerned about being attacked by a tribute, he wasn’t concerned about his own protection anymore. All he wanted was to make sure she was safe, he wanted to be there for her. He shouldn’t have left her, he should’ve stayed.

Finally reaching back to the camp, he sighed in relief when he found Reika being hugged by Eden. She was okay! The scary but friendly Careers has gotten there and helped her! Or that’s what he thought. He cried in relief, the false sense of security and happiness causing tears of happiness. He smiled and began to take steps closer and closer to Reika and the Career cradling her in his arms. Everything was okay! She must be awfully scared though! Jay would give her a hug, he’d tell her that it was okay. Maybe he’d be able to return her kiss now.

That’s when he saw it. That’s when the false sense of happiness and security crumbled away, and a wave of sadness crashed over him. His silent tears of happiness became wretched sobs as he finally spotted the blood spilling out of his friend. He should’ve seen it coming. He knew it was going to happen sooner or later. One of them was going to die, he just hoped it hadn’t been Reika.

He couldn’t help but blame himself for what had happened. He should’ve stayed behind with her, maybe he could’ve gotten the tributes to attack him instead. It was all his fault. It should’ve been him. He wasn’t as helpful. He was too timid, too much of a coward. He hadn’t been able to protect her, but she had protected him. Maybe if he wasn’t a coward Reika would be okay.

“It’s all my fault..” He continued to sob, covering his face with his hands.

(Sorry if it’s a little wonky. I had written this before Sienna and Moses’ post.)

Gloria gagged when Chaska began to slice up a fish and exposing raw fishy guts. "EW! DISGUSTING!" She shouted, but then Eden and Chaska ran off to follow a scream. Oh boy! Tying her hair back into a ponytail, Gloria raced off after them. She could finally prove herself to the group!

She found Eden cradling a little girl and the two from seven attacking Reyna with a... fish? With a hearty laugh she strode over to the girl from 12. She didn't really care about the kids, but she wanted Reyna to remember their conversation earlier. "I'm going to tell it your face in the arena darling. You sure are brave for a dirty district 12 rat." Gloria spat. With that she drove one of her knives towards Reyna's leg.

.
Chaska's swift strides brought him to the scene, but not in time to protect the small child. No he had only gotten there in time to see Reyna drive the small child through with their long sword. A unnatural rush of rage coursed through his veins and he let out a roar that he could only explain as a battle cry. Charging forward he took note of which way Sharnaz had bolted. He would be going after next. However Moses and Sienna got to Reyna first and he managed to hold himself back to allow them to lash out at the one who had stolen the life from the small girl. Drawing his scythe he let it rest just above her neck, far enough away so that she couldn't just lift her head and end it then. No he kept it tauntingly out of reach. There would be no easy way out for this cold blooded murderer. Out of the corner of his eye he was pleased to see that Gloria had joined them in the torture of Reyna. Perhaps his district partner wasn't so bad after all, just a little dramatic.

Sharnaz's grin widened when Reyna caught up and instantly brought their sword forward and skewered the kid like a shish kabob. However that glee was short lived when a certain career came barreling in out of nowhere and planted himself between the stinking dying kid and her ally. Realization fully hit her, if Eden was here then the other careers wouldn't be far behind. Which meant that Chaska would also be close by. With a split second decision she knew what she had to do. There was no way they were going to get away together. Someone would have to sacrifice themselves in order for the other to get away and she wasn't about to die for Reyna. Spinning she pretended to follow after Reyna, however instead of following she swept low and sliced through Reyna's achillies heel effectively making impossible for her former ally to run away. Without even pausing to see what would happen next she took off. Dodging through the plains she ran away as fast as her legs would let her. She needed to be far away, far far away from there.

Rieka was just getting to her feet when something awful happened. Something truly awful. There was a sickeningly cold feeling of something sliding straight through her abdomen. Pain came next but instead of crying out in pain a tiny little "oh" left her lips. A little oh to represent her shock. An oh of realization, she wasn't going to go home. Nobody was going to get there in time. An oh to express her pain at the idea of not being able to say goodbye to the people that she cared about. In what felt like slow motion her legs seemed to give out from beneath her, however her knees never hit the ground. Arms wrapped around her pulling her in close to a warm chest. It didn't take a genius to realize who it was, the voice gave it away. She didn't even squeak when Eden tucked her close to his chest and cradled her close to him. The words that jumped from his lips caused those tears she didn't know she was holding back to overflow. "Don't be sorry, your injured. I... I didn't mean to get you injured" she managed to whisper as she curled in closer to Eden. The stain growing across her shirt just kept growing and it was a little scary to look at. So instead of staring at her shirt she kept her gaze on Eden. Within moments Moses was above her all she could do was stare up at him while he apologized. Before she could say anything he was gone, going after Reyna she was fairly sure. It just meant she would have to hang on a little longer. She wasn't going to die without telling her new family how much she loved them. Sienna joined her shortly after and began to stroke her cheek and she gave a tiny nod to the question asked. She could hear them, they were offering a song. Through short breaths she managed to whisper "Eden, will you tell me a bedtime story?" as she spoke she lifted a tiny hand and held it out towards Jay. Her friend and ally was crying and she needed to comfort them.

➵Sienna Mach-North| D7 |17|Tags:Moses,Rieka,Jay,Eden | loc:East

Sienna smiled softly at Eden as tears popped down her face as she continued caressing her cheek lovingly seeing the sobbing Jay. She didn’t want to look back to see Reyna’s murder no matter how satisfying it would be she just wanted to see the small tribute. Now she would be more protective of Moses and Jay then ever. As she placed the small of her hand on Eden’s back she felt a sticky substance and pulled her hand away seeing the blood. She felt her heart drop before softly putting it back, she would have rubbed his back but she couldn’t do that. But she would offer to patch him later to distract herself from the pain.

➵Moses Grandy| D7 |18|Tags:Sienna,Rieka,Jay,Eden| loc:East

When Chaska arrives he nodded his head before he stalked off to go see Rieka,he softly came behind Jay and softly placed his hand on his small shoulder before pressing his hand in Rieka’s hair. “I’m back Rieka... I love you.” He choked out before Eden started his story. Moses couldn’t believe it he never should have left but how he could ever forgive himself. His best friend murdered in front of his eyes, now the tribute he viewed as his own child much like everyone else was dying. How could he have gotten fish and hunted why should he have eaten the cupcake. This was the dumbest mistake he ever made.

➵Zoe Marius of District 11
➵Tags: Demitria
➵Location: East

Zoe looked at the older tribute and smiled shyly. "I-I can come with you?" she said admiringly. She grinned, relieved. "Oh... thank you!" She laughed, the tightness in her chest easing. Demitria stood up and warned her about the three she had approached earlier. Zoe nodded, a sickening feeling of dread coming over her. She realized that if she hadn't put them in an uncomfortable position like that, they would have killed her without a doubt. Maybe one of them had been the one who... who had tried to kill her. She swallowed as Demitria stood silently, waiting for Zoe to lead the way. "Do you need to go somewhere...?" the fourteen-year-old asked hesitantly. When she didn't receive a reply right away, she rubbed her neck and said, "Well, there are a lot of people over that way, so it's probably best if we avoid them." She looked over and it didn't look like the three tributes were there anymore. She wondered where they had been. Hopefully they hadn't done anything bad.
