Calcifer had found himself looking Skye over without notice, giving a slight tilt of his head. He recalled the way she had looked in that dress when they were on the chariots.. He couldn't help but think that she looked breathtaking back then. Now.. She still looked alluring, to him at least.. The poor boy's heart was vulnerable, and he was already starting to feel a small little invisible bond to form between them, which would make him protective of her in the future if something threatened her. It was useful to have someone like Calcifer have your back. You can trust him with your life, even in the smallest situations.
At her first question, Calcifer blinked slowly, indeed finding the question quite obvious and amusing, and the girl from his district snickered under her breath at Skye's question. He immediately moved his gaze away from Skye to glare icily at the girl from his district, who stopped peering in on them at once. Huffing with approval, Calcifer returned his eyes to Skye, and his gaze softened almost at once, returning to their gentle, vibrant appearance. He managed to curl his lips up slightly into a small smile, nodding his head a bit. "Both. I've worked with axes and in the woods.. Carried logs back to the town to get it shipped to where it needed to be or take some back home.." He told her, not at all feeling uncomfortable by telling her this. Something told him that he could trust her.. And there was that small little segment of his mind that seemed to make him.. fond of her, almost, like a boy admiring the girl that he took a liking to.
Romance and love.. Calcifer believed in it, no doubt about it, it's just that it's hard to find that sort of thing in the world today.. Well, to him it is. He never managed to find any girl that would be able to catch his eye in his district.. But.. Something was drawing him to Skye.. Calcifer shook that feeling off, deciding that it was just the effects of talking to someone else from a different district. Even if any thing happened between them, one of them would end up being dead.
"How'd you come to be so adept with handling knives? Did you simply use knives each day?" He asked her, his vibrant blue eyes giving off a curious gleam, and an almost fascinating one. He worked at the station he was in as well, just simply going through it smoothly, not really knowing what it was since he was in a half-daze.. He saw that they were going near the camouflage station, which was where he needed to be to get some skill for camouflaging. He was oblivious to the fact that the girl from his district was talking to the boy from district 4, clearly not happy that Skye was interacting with Calcifer..

-Okay good xD haha-

Skye wasn't stupid, she wasn't an oblivious little innocent girl that she looked to be. She looked like the sweetest, most innocent thing in the world. She knew she would play on that role well too. She very well could see Elizabeth, -Or she thought that was her name- that girl from Calcifer's district talking to the boy from hers... She knew the boy, he went to her school.
Vladimir maybe? Oh well, it didn't matter.
She knew they weren't happy that Calclifer and here might be allys. Calcifer was someone you wanted... no needed for an ally. But, Skye didn't see him in that way, she saw him as someone she wanted to be around. A friend... Possibly more? She wasn't sure.
But she did know the games were soon and she didn't have much time. She looked at him, smiling even wider at his smile.
He looked so sweet and So attractive when he smiled.
She thought very much about his question... She didn't know if she should totally trust him or not... She obviously was hesitant to answer, but answered anyway. Memories came back to her... Her and James, by the lake, him showing off for a girl... No, I use knifes a lot, but never throwing, I just have good aim I guess" She lied calmly, her lies were so perfectly told, you would never know the truth or the lies with her...
Nobody ever did...

They stood by the lake, it was sunset... Her and James, her black haired older brother playing around with a trident, trying to catch fish but failing horribly while trying to impress a girl from their district he liked... Skye, picked up a knife, and threw it at a fish. She did this only to catch them. She hit the fish in the tail usually, but today, something wasn't right...
She couldn't hit a thing, her vision was blurred when she got up close. but when she stood far away, she was perfect with aim. And by perfect, litterally perfect aim.
She had never missed from far away...

She kept this hidden, and her fear of water as well. She didn't need people knowing her weaknesses. But even if they did, she was great with any sword, trident or trap...
She was confident they wouldn't stand a chance when she was mad... The only problem was that Aaron was watching.
Watching constantly.

Calcifer could tell that the girl from his district, Elizabeth, staring to talk to that boy from District 4, Vladimir.. He knew that it was nothing good, judging simply by the look on the boy's face. He seemed malicious, almost glancing scornfully at Skye when she wasn't looking. Calcifer could feel the anger start to boil in his gut, wanting to just wring that boy's neck for even looking at her like that though she didn't do anything wrong. But he refrained, knowing that would only get him into trouble.
He looked back down at Skye, hearing her response, and after looking at her for a few moments, he decided to just go along with her answer. "Hmm.. Guess you had a hidden talent for throwing knives.." He murmured, not really in a loud tone since he knew some of the other tributes were trying to eavesdrop, obviously waiting for a chance to talk to Calcifer. He completely ignored them, narrowing his eyes at a few to show that he had no interests in talking to him.
He soon realized that they had reached the camouflage station, which was the station he truly needed to focus on. He worked in it with intent concentration, wanting to master this station since he had a feeling it might be use for him in the future when they would go into the arena. He memorized the pattern of trees, ferns, rocks, the forest floor.. And then began to actually practice using resources. He was lost in working in the station that he didn't notice the girl from his district give a nod and start to walk towards Skye with the boy from her district and a few other people, which obviously wanted him as their ally.
They all started to taunt her, calling her a midget and worthless, asking her why she was even bothering to talk to Calcifer.. Calcifer, who was currently busy with the station, didn't notice them, and they kept themselves silent so he wouldn't hear them.. The girl from his district knew well enough how aggressive Calcifer could be if irritated.

Skye glared at them, sending rude remarks back their way until she had nothing left to say. Her insults, she knew hurt them, knowing this because they became angry, and sent worse ones back her way. She let them roll off her shoulder, until a blonde from district one brought up her brother....
This made Skye furious, she raised a knife in her hand, only then realizing that she was supposed to try and play innocent... But she didn't care.
She had thrown the knife, the vicious blonde career tribute, from one narrowly dodging it, it actually cutting some of her hair. She had began to walk off when she realized, they were jealous of her...
They wanted Calclifer. So she smirked, and let it fade as she made her way towards him, of course the group following until they realized where she was headed.
She decided to play innocent like nothing had happened, nobody had really noticed her throw the knife. It had been silent until it hit the ground, and the others had been working hard on training, concentrating on what they were doing....

The blonde frowned, knowing that, Calcifer actually cared...
Wether he knew it or not, he did.
Leah had realized this immediately. She doubted Calcifer would hurt her, she saw him as nothing more that a gentle giant... She doubted he would hurt any of them...

Calcifer had finished with the camouflage station after a couple of moments and tries, and was quite pleased with himself. His skill for camouflage wasn't yet perfect, but it was decent enough it'll save his life out in the arena if he ever had to come by using it. He quickly reset the station for other tributes to use, brushing himself off as he got back up, having been kneeling on the ground. All the while he had felt stares at his back and sensed that something negative was going on, which made his shoulders tense up a bit.
He turned around to see that Skye was coming over to him and behind her trailed a group of tributes which stopped soon enough, their frightened stares on Calcifer. They must know how he could get if anyone that he favored was threatened in any way.. He looked down at Skye, arching a brow at her. "Something wrong?" He asked her, knowing that something must have happened. He was that much of an observant person, able to tell if there was something wrong. He was not oblivious to his surroundings, which is another factor that will make him extremely difficult to take down in the arena. He looked back at the group and saw that the District 4 boy, Vladimir, decided to suck it up, despite being only fourteen years old.
Vladimir strode over, almost smirking in scorn. "Cal.. Come on.. You can't seriously want to be allied with that weak scum. She won't be of any use to you! All she'll be doing in the arena is think about her little precious brother and get herself killed before she would even reach the Cornucopia! It would be better if you came along with us! We could kill off the weaker tributes, including her, in the Arena and have a better chance of winning!" Vladimir said, and the Careers behind him smirked. Clearly, they had manipulated the boy to do their dirty work. Once in the Arena, they would kill poor Vladimir. Such a shame..
Calcifer narrowed his eyes at Vladimir immediately, his arms growing rigid as he stepped in front of Skye a bit. "And what use would you pathetic mongrels be of to me? Sorry, two is already enough for me. Five or six is too much of a crowd. I'd rather take my chances. I don't need any of you conceited brats that I'll have to kill anyway." He snapped at them, his voice low and almost a growl, showing clearly that his irritation level was rising. Vladimir flinched back at once with an almost terrified look in his eyes. Calcifer was much taller than he thought...
Giving a huff of approval, Calcifer was about to turn around when the boy from District 1, Darrian, came along, jaw set tightly. "Pathetic, are we? We'll see who's pathetic in the arena. At least I'm not worrying about a stupid younger sister." Darrian hissed as he strode over to Calcifer, obviously expecting a little fight, but once he saw that Calcifer towered over him by over a foot, he froze, but still sneered up at him bitterly. Darrian almost instantly regretted saying that...
Calcifer glared down at Darrian, a loud growl slipping past his lips. "What was that? I didn't hear you right.." He growled lowly, his hands curling into fists as the muscles lining his arms, abdomen, and back stiffened, becoming more vivid from under the clothing that he was wearing. Darrian paled up at once, swallowing thickly as he looked up at Calcifer, obviously not backing down. "You heard me, giant.." Darrien responded back with a sharp edge to his tone, obviously looking for a fight.
The people of the Capitol, which were on a higher level, looked down from the glass walls, seeing the tension between Calcifer and Darrian. Some of them were grinning, wanting to see a fight.. They already saw that Calcifer was strong, but they wanted to see how he was in close-combat...

| | Heheheh, there will be a fight with Cal and Dar. >;D | |

-Woo lolz-

[quote="...Doll..."][center][size=85]-I totally understand haha -

Skye knew that the capitol was going to be watching this, and they would love this fight. but she didn't want Calcifer getting in any trouble. she moved over to him, grabbing his arm. "Come on, just ignore them," she said and started to walk away before things got out of hand.
The girl from district one started laughing, "how sweet, trying to keep your little boyfriend safe?" She said teasingly and glared.
"I'll make sure to kill you first, so your little brother wont have to see you in pain through the whole thing," she said calmly, glaring at her the whole time. Obviously jealous.
Skye let go of Calcifer's arm, she moved toward the 5 foot 7 inches tall blonde from District . She pulled out a knife she had kept and ran at the girl.
She was only stopped by the girl from district 2, who had blocked her from the district one girl, somehow getting the knife away in the fight and throwing it away.

Calcifer was literally radiating anger. The District 1 boy dared to mention his sister and stand up to him. The boy was an idiot. Calcifer expected the kids from District 1, who were both eighteen, to be much smarter than that. Hmph, apparently they weren't taught to pick on someone their own size.. Literally. Darrian looked as though he was about to collapse, trembling slightly as he looked up at Calcifer, who looked nothing like the gentle giant that he was before. Now he was a towering menace, ready to grind the District 1 boy into a bloody pulp without a sliver of mercy.
But before he could even say anything more to Darrian, he felt Skye grab his arm, which immediately made him turn his attention to her, his gaze softening as he looked at her. He allowed her to pull him away from the scene, but just as the girl from District 1 spoke, he felt his skin prickle with anger. Oh what he'd give to give that girl a shot int the jaw! Calcifer wasn't afraid to hit a girl, not at all! Especially if the girl is acting like a witch just like that girl from District 1. Calcifer looked and saw that Skye moved over to the tall blond, pulling out a knife.
Darrian saw Skye attempt to attack the girl from his District, and this sent him over the edge. "You little b**ch! Think you are so tough? Hey Cal, why don't you get your crazy midge of a girlfriend out of here, huh?" Darrian snarled as he made a move to shove Skye, but Calcifer was there in less than a second. Before Darrian could even get near Skye, Calcifer's fist had collided with the boy's jaw.
Dazed and in shock, Darrian staggered back, eyes wide, but he quickly regained himself and threw a hit at Calcifer, landing the blow directly at the base of Calcifer's neck. Calcifer grunted sharply, feeling his windpipe constrict for a few moments from the hit. Hell.. If that would have hit his throat he would have been on the ground unconscious and probably dead from being unable to breath.. He was glad he was tall.
Calcifer snarled and grabbed Darrian's neck, hoisted him off the ground with such ease as though Darrian was just a twenty pound bag, and slammed him into one of the metal columns with a terrifying loud bang! Darrian's hands were feebly grabbing at Calcifer's wrist, but it was no use. Calcifer was too strong for Darrian. He held him up high above the ground, and his strength was vivid. The people from the Capitol were watching in awe the display of Calcifer's strength, some of them cheering and clapping. The other kids from the group were stunned, not knowing what to do.
Darrian was struggling to breath, looking at Calcifer with pure terror in his eyes. Calcifer growled lowly, tightening his grip on Darrian's neck. "The next time you say a word to her, or do anything to her, I will kill you.." Calcifer snapped, his vibrant blue eyes glinting sharply, making Darrian cringe. Cursing under his breath, Calcifer tossed Darrian onto the ground, leaving the boy taking in deep breaths while panting heavily, stroking his throat which was bruised from the tight grip that Calcifer had on him.
Calcifer strode over to where Skye and the District 1 and 2 girls were, and pulled her away from them, glaring at them as well. "The same with you. I have no interests in being your ally. I'd rather be burned at the stake than even come near you. Consider yourself unwelcome near me. Another word to Skye, and I'll be having you strung up in a tree so easy it won't be even funny.. Don't even mention her brother." He growled venomously at the girl from District 1, taking Skye's arm and quickly walking away from the group, his anger flaring. He was afraid that he was going to hurt them too much before the Games... Well, at least they knew what happened if they p!ssed him off. "You okay?" He asked Skye in a low tone, still struggling to contain his anger as he glared over his shoulder at the group who looked terrified as deer in headlights.
He didn't know what had triggered his anger so easily.. He only gets that protective over those whom he cared strongly for, and the only people he really cared about were his mother and younger sister... So why was he so protective of Skye? He just threatened to kill a tribute if he got too close to Skye! And.. He wasn't at all displeased when the District 1 girl called him Skye's 'little boyfriend'... Hell, he didn't even get irritated when Darrian called Skye his 'girlfriend'... Oh dear, the boy was falling for the girl. What other reason would there be for him to be so protective of her?

[size=85]-Yay haha sorry for this post im in a hurry xD-

Skye had a busted lip from one of the other girls hitting her. She was shocked when Calcifer had pulled her from the fight. if it were anyone else she would have attacked, or tried to. She smiled to Calcifer when he asked her if she was okay, that sweet innocent smile returning as she knew they were going to be going back to their rooms soon...
She couldn't help but feel the need to apologize, feeling guilty for starting all this...
"im fine, you?" she asked worriedly.

Calcifer could feel his anger slowly start to recede, although that burning in his gut still remained, making him mutter a few curses under his breath. What he'd give to go back and nail those tributes in their guts, especially for insulting and laying their hands on Skye. Heck, what made them think that he would want to be on their side? What part of ''I hate you don't talk to me'' do they not understand? If he didn't show interest in the first place, why did they persist? That girl from his District should have warned them about it.. Now Darrian was being taken back to his room because he was trembling like a leaf in the wind, his hands at his throat, where the skin had turned purple from the bruising.
Growling with scorn as Darrian was taken out, Calcifer turned his attention back to Skye, and again, his face softened, not a trace of anger in it, his eyes vibrant with concern. It felt odd to be standing beside her.. He was so much taller than her and she was so small.. If he wasn't stressed out at the moment, he might have found this amusing. But right now, he was worrying about other things rather than amusing himself with their differences in height.
He saw that her lip was busted, and immediately, his facial expression changed as his lips curled down into a frown. For some reason, he found himself blaming himself for getting her hurt. If he had been paying attention to his surroundings, maybe he would have been able to stop any fight from breaking out.. Calcifer lifted a hesitant hand, taking Skye's chin gently and inclining her head up slightly, inspecting her busted lip, assessing its damage, his hand feather-soft on her chin.. After a few moments he sighed, releasing her chin after he had managed to see that her lip wasn't too badly damaged..
When she confirmed she was okay, then asked him if he was fine, Calcifer couldn't help but blink, then nod once. "I'm perfectly fine.. Unscathed.. Just a bit.. riled up.. Nothing much.." He replied in a hushed tone, glancing up to see that they would be going to their rooms soon.. Calcifer almost felt his heart sink. Going back to his room meant he wouldn't be able to hang out with Skye.. Maybe they are allowed to leave their rooms to walk around?
Calcifer blinked at his thoughts and shook his head, unable to believe that he was thinking in this sort of way. He saw that the other tributes finally decided that they didn't want to be allied with Calcifer, and none of them were even glancing his way. Heh, good. Calcifer swept his gaze around the room, his shoulders relaxing soon enough after he was convinced that no one else would try to mess with him. "Sorry I couldn't.. Stop the fight from going on.." He then uttered under his breath, letting out a breath as he ran a hand through his hair.

Skye belt her heart beat go faster when he tilted her chin up, it made her blush faintly. She knew very well that he omly blamed himself for getting her hurt... Even though he had dont nothing at all to get her hurt in the first place...
She didn't know why... But- wait no...
She was falling for him. No doubt the cameras were on them... She smiled at him lightly when he said it was his fault, not honestly knowing how to comfort him...
He was so much taller than she was. She frowned when she was called back to her stylist... In only two days she was going to be in that arena...
Tomorrow was the scoring... Or whatever they called it. She didn't ever watch the hunger games so she wouldt know. She sighed, telling him it wasnt at all his fault for this, and telling him goodbye before she was gone...
Skye couldnt get him out of her head. She sighed, wanting to see Calciferol, wanting to be around him more and more as the seconds went by.
So that night, she decided she was going to go see him... But she stopped herself at the door. Thinking, what if he doesn't want to see me? what if he doesn't even feel the same? by that point she had quit denying she was in love, she acknowledged she cared, but didn't like it...

---

By the next morning she had been dying to go to training alone.
To get her scores? No...
To see Calcifer? Yes...
She wanted him around. She couldn't get him out of her head. She couldnt care too much... She didn't want to be hurt again...
She couldn't take being hurt again...
