The Duo Alliance vs The Career Alliance

[dist5duomaxwell]

If they allowed to have two victors but they had to be from two different districts who would you choose to win beside.

I'd want someone that's not from a Career District because I feel like the Career Districts don't have it as bad as the Districts that aren't in the Capitols favor.

Moving On || The Duo Alliance

"Guys parachute," I muttered looking up as I heard a faint beep. I ran to it and flung it open. I pulled out 5 throwing knives, a few round objects and a few pellets. That was all. I ground my teeth together and looked up at the sky. "You know what I need," I muttered bitterly. I turned my attention to Duo. "I’ll do whatever you want, I’d still prefer combat. There are some things I need."

[dist5duomaxwell]

"Oh sweet throwing knives. Does anyone else know how to use them? " I asked looking at the rest of the contents. "Those look like smoke pellets, and smoke bombs?" I said looking at every one else. "We used both at the plants. When working on the solar arrays. Its easier to see smoke than some guy waving." I added.

"Well what's worse, taking on the Careers or risking a bad safehouse?"

[dist5duomaxwell]

"Risk a trap or something that could take out all of us at once or risk a fights that could pick us off one by one or all at once." I said looking at every one. Letting that option hang in the air  "Before we even consider combat we should do an inventory of gear so we can make a strategy to best fight the Careers." I added.

[dist5duomaxwell]

If you could save any of the careers and have them join you who would it be and why?

Chris or Cora. Their the only ones I connected with. The only ones I would be able to trust...kinda...mostly...

I bit my lip. “I don’t like the sound of them,” I muttered bitterly, “I don’t necessarily trust the Capitol. How do we know the Gamemakers don’t have something up their sleeve.” I ground my teeth together and closed my eyes.

[dist5duomaxwell]

"Thats true we dont. But we dont have the food or gear to stay out here much longer. So we either hop the wall and risk a safe house or commit to gorilla type attacks on the Careers to kill them or steel their shit." I said looking at the group. "Im not going to force you guys to do anything you dont want to do." I added

I walked away, shaking my head. I had let my emotions rise to high. I closed my eyes, and after taking some deep breaths, I turned back to face the others. “What about the safehouses?” I asked, bringing up the topic everyone seemed to be avoiding. 

[dist5duomaxwell]

"If were here I think we are, we can hop this wall and there should be an opening to the north east safe house. If it actually is a safe house." I said clipping my axe to my belt and getting the gear together.

[bellafaber-d2-blog]

I looked over our food and water supplies. “This won’t last much longer. I say while we’re in the calm of the storm, it’s worth the risk.”

[dist5duomaxwell]

"The only way I can see this working is sending one of the girls up on the top. We pass her the gear. She takes a rope from on of the bags and gives us one end and she climbs down the other.  We repeat till you go over Lucas. Then I climb the rope up and jump off." I said with a shrug. "Its up to you guys." I added

I grabbed his shoulders, now raising my voice, “You know it’s not your fault! There is only one person to blame…the only reason all of us have to deal with this shit!” I knew I was getting into a touchy subject, but I was past the point of caring. The cameras were definitely turned off us now. “And you know what you’re supposed do now?” I asked, practically yelling now. “You’re supposed to keep fighting, not to win the Games but to prove a point. Show them that all of us are bigger than these Games. Give the people who are sick and tired of this cruel and twisted punishment a voice!…They don’t own us!”

[dist5duomaxwell]

I just looked off into nothing listening to him. "They do own us. This isn't a fucking arena it a damn cattle pen." I said pulling away. "Look, Im ok, I just need a distraction." I said shaking my head. "Whats the plan. We attacking or getting out of this damn maze?" I asked

"It’s hard now, and I know I’ve had more time than you but…you didn’t kill her. And it’s not your fault….You know whose fault it is," I said kneeling down beside him. I locked eyes with him. "Don’t let them do this to you. Don’t let them turn you into something your not…don’t give them the power they don’t deserve," I pleaded with him. 

[dist5duomaxwell]

"I only wanted to protect her." I said punching the ground "It was my mistake by choosing her and it way my job to bring her home." I cried out. Moving my sleeve back and looking at my left wrist where her name was tattooed. "The fuck am I supposed to do now? Win this? Go home where everyone knows its my fault the most beautiful girl in the district is dead because of me." I said getting up

I placed my hand on his shoulder. “It’s hard to understand, but I know what this feels like. Maybe it’s not exactly the same, but…I’ve been hurt too.”

[dist5duomaxwell]

"Its not fair." I said looking at him. "I swore to save her." I said tears falling. "I..I cant go back" I said looking down.

I changed my focus to poorly collected Duo to Lucas. “He’s right Duo,” I murmured looking around. “We need to keep moving.”

[dist5duomaxwell]

"I....I know...." I said falling to my knees. "I just...I need a moment." I said hanging my head. I didn't want to move. I didn't want to do anything. I was dead. The only reason I had to fight I let die. "It was my fault...I let her die.." I said softly as I punched the ground.

Bathed In Blood || Iskuo

Running out the area around the cornucopia I looked back seeing Iskra following me, i knew we were good. I kept running take turns trying to distance us from the blood bath. Stopping where I thought we were safe I Turning to look at Iskra as i tried to catch my breath. Thats when I saw her holding her side. "What happened?" I asked dropping my gear and running to her.

Singing with Jabberjays || The Duo Alliance

[accepting-my-death]

I fell to the ground and coverd my ears as the intense screaming started. Birds swooped at me from all different angles, biting and pecking at me. I managed to kick a few away. I will not die, not yet. My mind raced as I looked for anything to plug my ears with. I needed to use my hands. I couldn’t just lay here with my hands in my ears. Duo was cutting the sleeping bags. The sleeping bags! I flung open my pack with one hand. There were three sleeping bags inside. I ripped the lining off of one of them and tore in into strips, shoving them in my ears. The screeches became tolerable. I quickly grabbed the axe and started cutting down jabberjays.

[dist5duomaxwell]

I looked over to where Lyra and Whitley had walked over to and saw Whitley getting up and start taking down jabberjays. I saw her pack was open and a sleeping bag was partially pulled out. Clever girl I thought as I cut some pieces off the ribbon I had left and made my way to Lyra. I stuff the cloth into her ears, and made sure she was ok. Then just as suddenly as it had started. It stopped. The birds stopped diving down on us and the shrieking died down. Standing up I motioned everyone to hold still. I brought my hand up to my left ear and slowly pulled the fabric out. Silence. Thinking I was deaf I spoke out loud "I think its clear." I could hear myself. I gave a thumbs up and removed the fabric from the other ear. Looking around at everyone I couldn't help but notice the many bodies of the jabberjays that we had managed to kill.

Singing with Jabberjays || The Duo Alliance

[bellafaber-d2-blog]

I noticed the lack of life in the arena, only pools of water. That's why the jabber jays stood out like a sore thumb. First it was only a few, but within seconds they were surrounding us in flocks. As soon as their shrieks rang out, I collapsed to the ground in agony. I felt a popping in my ears and put my hands in them, only to find blood pouring out. I tried to alternate between swinging at the birds with my boomerang and shielding my ears from the ear shattering sound. Just then, duo rushed over and shoved something into my ear. He handed me the other piece of cloth and I caught onto his plan. Although the jabber jays were still loud, the noise was now bearable. I jumped up and tried to fight off as many of the birds as possible.

[dist5duomaxwell]

Doing my best to cover Iskra and fight the Jabberjays as best I could we were making a kills as best we could but it didn't seem like it was enough. I turned to Lucas and got is attention. I mouthed "what the hell do we do?". I saw a brid dive and tracked it as it swooped down, swinging my axe I managed to hit it, then turned back to Lucas.
