In Wonderland

Final Standings:

The Fallen: The Last To Fall

And with that, Ladies and Gentleman, we have our winner!

A parachute floats down to Peyton with a quiver full of 5 poison arrows. The tips are deadly, be careful.

As she blindly runs through the mushrooms, trying not to trip on anything, a parachute beeping causes Peyton to pause. She looks up and sees the flashing light floating down towards her. She frowns, because she’s sure that she’ll not be able to see what she’s been sent.

As she fumbles to open the parachute, her hands find a flashlight. Flicking it on, she smiles. Thank you, she breathes. Inside, there is another item and a note that reads:

Remember you’ve got a med kit in your pack. Take care of yourself and good luck.

She sighs with relief, she’d forgotten about the med kit because she hadn’t needed it. Shining the light inside the parachute, she uncovers a healthy portion of food. A turkey sandwich, an apple, and a thermos of hot chocolate.

Jett vs. Vegaton

Dun dun dunnnnnnn…

“You’ll always be my Ohana”

CRYING

It's a dark morning || Vegaton

I blinked and opened my eyes, returning from Atlantis into the dark again. I wondered why Valentine had done that, pushed me away. Perhaps he did not like hearing the truth. He’d taken one of my knives and was currently threatening Peyton with it. I could tell that just from his tone of voice.

I watched and sighed, not particularly bothered with what was going on. If Peyton got killed right now it wouldn’t make much difference but for now we needed her so I was secretly relieved when Valentine left her alone.

“Well, I do not care, so feel free to choose where you would like”

I put my head in my hands and tried to calm down, I really shouldn’t have snapped and threatened her like that but mentioning Leia wasn’t okay, not one bit. I raised my head and saw the white rabbit again, letting out an exasperated sigh and stood up slowly.

“Nowhere’s safe we’re in an arena participating in something called the Hunger Games where only one of us leaves alive. So since we’re all probably going to die and considering the fact that the freaking rabbit won’t leave us alone we might as well follow it to this ‘very important’ date shouldn’t we?”

I picked up my whip, rope and put on my brass knuckles and looked at Peyton and Omega expectantly, “Well are you coming?”

Well, wasn't Valentine just on a roll today. He woke up on the wrong side of the mushroom patch, but I knew what I said had worked; the mention of Leia would shoot him down for a second to vulnerability. Our alliance was hell, Valentine and I were already at each others' throats with no one to stop us -which scared me a bit because of his power- but we would make this work if Omega, Valentine and I planned and ignored how sassy we each got.

Valentine bitched about how we will never be safe again because we are in the arena, but of course I already knew that. I knew how the Capitol thought, I just suggested that we could find a place where it is most safe to be.

Valentine started to pick up his weapons, Omega and I shared a glance before grabbing our own weapons and following Valentine -who was following the white rabbit.

The sky was still darkened as we walked, and bumped into mushrooms. The rabbit turned around multiple times, rambling on about how we are late and soon we were all annoyed by the white rabbit with the pocket watch.

It's a dark morning || Vegaton

I started to laugh at Omega’s out break from sleep. She said thing so bluntly and didn’t even care about the consequences.

I returned Valentine’s glare. And responded through clenched teeth. “I don’t snore and I will not chill the fuck out.” A sarcastic smile started to form on my face as I mocked him. “Little Vally Wally’s rib hurt?” I gave him the puppy dog eyes and baby voice but soon decided that it was a bad choice; he was the one holding the electric whip.

A white rabbit bounced close enough into our vision with an enormous pocket watch, rambling words as he hooped around us and got stopped by tall mushrooms. Valentine, Omega, and I shared an curious look.

I nodded at Valentine, we needed to get out of here. It was a strange place.

I quickly rushed to Valentine’s side as I saw him hurt. He would hold us back if he was in too much pain and no matter how much I tried to block it out I always had that horrible feeling whenever I saw he was upset or in pain.

“Well, it wasn’t rude” I pointed out “It was the truth. I mean, if you look at the facts you’ll see that whilst Peyton and I handled Hyacinth without a scratch practically you nearly ended up dying.” I was being completely honest and if he couldn’t handle it then that was his problem. So far, he had been the one holding us back.

I nodded as the others spoke about the rabbit. I coudn’t see anything else really in Atlantis so I made up seeing it.

“What direction?”

As Omega rushed to my side I pushed her away violently, annoyed by her comments and quips. She fell to the ground and I bent down to yank one of her throwing knives free. I could feel her pulling on my hand and I pulled free one of her throwing knives and threw it towards Peyton, right then and there I wouldn’t have cared if it killed her or not. I heard it lodge in a mushroom and a scream. I made my way towards her and pushed her against the mushroom and took the knife out of the shroom before pressing it on her neck.

I only saw the knife that was thrown at me when it was almost hitting me. My scream echoed through the eery silence of the arena. My heart started to slam against my chest. After I realized the damn kid almost killed me, he was pushing me onto a mushroom. I tried my best not to let my fear show but he had the knife pinned to my neck, he was also more muscular and taller. Valentine would be the one coming out alive if we fought.

I closed my eyes to calm my anger down a few notches so I would get myself killed but it sprung back into action when the knife started to rest deeper into my skin; causing little blood to trickle down my neck. I glared up at Valentine -or as I like to call him Vally Wally- and bit on the inside of my cheek as he talked.

Oh really? Did your parents get turned into avoxes? Did you live in the woods, hiding from the Capitol and humanity, for five damn years?

He got closer to my ear and all I wanted to do at that moment was knee him in his crotch. As he whispered in my ear, I saw Omega on the ground a few feet away on the ground-and she didn't look very happy, confused maybe.

"You want to kill me? How sweet. Leia would love if a piece of her ohana got killed by one of the guys she liked." I tilted my head on the mushroom, not breaking our eye contact. The mention of Leia would change what he was thinking. I was sure of it.

He pulled away and answered to Omega's question then slumped onto a mushroom. "Any where we think is most safe."

It's a dark morning || Vegaton

It was pitch black dark outside and I grimaced. What could I do? I closed my eyes and remembered Atlantis and where I’d placed everything in the mushrooms. It would give me a rough guide of where everything was but by no means would it be perfect. The image in front of me changed as I closed my eyes and I reached out my arm towards where I’d heard Peyton’s voice. I tapped her shoulder and marked her position in Atlantis. I did the same with Valentine and I had a rough picture. It was still likely I’d bump into many mushrooms along the way.

“So you have a whip? Good. Maybe you’ll be able to help us now” I commented.

I look at Peyton and glare at her.

“Now Peyton, if someone was going to kill us, they would have killed us by now because we just woke up and I’m sure I didn’t speak as loud as you snore so chill the fuck out” I snapped at her before I felt at my ribs wincing. The morphling was wearing off but the wrap was making the pain bearable, just.

“Omega, I don’t know if you know this, but that was rude. I’m going to choose to ignore it for all of our safety” I got up and saw a white rabbit rushing by with an abnormally large watch and frowned. I really needed to get out of this place before I lost my mind. He was babbling on about an important date and I looked back at Peyton and Omega.

“I think we need to leave this place before we all lose our minds because I’m not sure if that rabbit in front of me is actually talking or if I’m actually crazy”

I started to laugh at Omega's out break from sleep. She said thing so bluntly and didn't even care about the consequences.

I returned Valentine's glare. And responded through clenched teeth. "I don't snore and I will not chill the fuck out." A sarcastic smile started to form on my face as I mocked him. "Little Vally Wally's rib hurt?" I gave him the puppy dog eyes and baby voice but soon decided that it was a bad choice; he was the one holding the electric whip.

I nodded at Valentine, we needed to get out of here. It was a strange place.

It's a dark morning || Vegaton

The stupid caterpillar had spoken throughout the whole of the night and after a while, the morphling tablets had taken their toll and I’d fallen asleep. I woke up, still tired and expected to see the morning sun but only saw darkness. I frowned, confused at first. Omega and Peyton would never have let me sleep all day, I squinted and looked over to both of them to see them sleeping. I shook them awake and smiled, it must be the Gamemakers playing some sort of game with us. I went to stand up and I felt a large package beside me, I couldn’t read the message on the paper but I just knew it was for me. I opened it up as quickly as I could without breaking my rib again and inside I found a whip, my whip. A sound of excitement escaped my mouth as I pulled the whip free from the package. Standing up I cracked the whip on a nearby mushroom just to know it was actually real and I wasn’t hallucinating.

“Guys! It’s okay! I have my whip now!” I laid back down and ran the smooth leather against my cheek. I almost felt safe.

When I felt hands shaking me awake, I almost was set into panic and thrashed my hands in the air a few seconds before noticing Omega sitting up and Valentine unwrapping a package. The sky was dark and I remember the night before clearly. The caterpillar never shut up (and I was starting to loose my temper) then the sky lit up with the fallen before I slept. A wave of emotions rode over me, ugly sobs escaped my mouth at Leia and Julius' pictures. I hated that they were gone so fast and I couldn't do a think about it. It was my fault basically.

My eyes searched for a glimmer of light any where but there was nothing. I stood up and brushed off my back and legs from the grass we lied on the night before. Valentine giggled with glee at the package, might I add, loudly.

"Shut the hell up! Do you want us to get killed?" I whisper yelled in his direction. Julius and Leia's death didn't seem to have as big as an impact but every time I closed my eyes, memories of them or pictures of their corpses played out through my mind.

“Neither do I…” I straighten my back a little and walked hesitantly to face the blue caterpillar, I gestured for Omega and Peyton to follow.

“Hello, my name is Valentine…” I look at the perfectly formed ring he formed and smiled, not bad for a caterpillar. I frowned a little as I finished introducing myself to a caterpillar, why was I talking to a caterpillar… was I going mad? I turn to face the caterpillar again looking rather confused.

“Am I going mad?”

“Who are you?” I call again, a little abashed at the gawps I seemed to be getting from the group. I watched as the trio made their way towards me, asking questions about sanity and madness.

“Madness is rare in individuals, but in groups and parties it is the rule” I smile at the boy. “I see that you are in pain, your own pain mitigated your failure to act earlier, and you have paid enough for witnessing the pain of others”

I take another deep inhale from my pipe before holding the tip of it up Valentine.

“Care for a smoke” I blink at the boy, before smiling at both of his blonde companions. “And Who are you?” I ask before frowning, “It is rude to listen to a conversation without introducing yourself formally”

I blinked at the caterpillar. He had an attitude for someone-something that was not supposed to talk. The caterpillar smoked through a pipe and exhaled perfect circles. My eyes followed their paths till they faded into the atmosphere.

"Peyton," My eyebrows knotted together as I narrowed my eyes at him. The anger from Julius and Leia's death was still fresh in my mind. "Who are you?" The words were mocking to the caterpillar, I kept my eyes on the insect. He spoke very formally, like Omega almost.

When you try your best, but you don't succeed When you get what you want, but not what you need When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep Stuck in reverse And the tears come streaming down your face When you lose something you can't replace When you love someone, but it goes to waste Could it be worse? Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you

#le sob #playlist

,I could feel the anger pulsing through my veins, I wanted to get up but the pain in my chest was making even the smallest of movements painful. I clutched my chest as I pushed myself up and looked around and what happened. Julius was dead, good, but so was Leia. I looked...

#para #sorry im on my phone

I almost screamed at Omega for telling me to stop talking to them because they were dead. But I knew where that would end up. They were alive, in the air looking down on me. And it was my fault because they wanted to protect me, if I just fought their killer I would have died instead of them...I wouldn't feel so guilty. Valentine looked at Leia with a sad frown and obviously in deep thought about their deaths-Omega on the other hand looked at them as if they were dead fish you flush down the toilet. "I see how much you cared about them," I muttered about Omega before I looked down at the people I love and moved their hair out of their faces. "Don't forget me," the words were whispers at the dead bodies. When I stood up I saw a huge caterpillar with a long hookah attached to his mouth when he didn't speak. "Uh, Omega, Valentine...you see the caterpillar too, right?" My mouth was gaping and my eyes stayed on the large insect.

Hookah Me || Peyton + Vega

Panic started to set in when Omega and I heard two extra canons; we were only supposed to hear two if our plan went right...

Omega ran right by my side as we dodged through various sized mushrooms, my eyes started to sting even though I didn't know who had died. My heart hammered and slammed into my chest while we ran. I couldn't feel my legs, my insides were twirling around as well as my thoughts. Omega's legs were longer so her strides were less of an effort and she was faster than me. My wheezing started to fill my ears.

I dropped to my knees when we reached were the full alliance saw our victims. Julius laid in a puddle of blood, dead, like Leia. My lip started to tremble the closer I got to the dead couple.

"No," I chocked out the words with tears leaving streams down my face. My shaking hands traced over their cold bodies as I tried to find an extinct pulse. Their killer was no where to be found in my blur of a vision.

"No, dammit! Wake up! Don't leave me, come on, please!" The words were screeching cries of help. I started to push down on Leia's chest and listen by her mouth to see if she'd wake up. Nothing.

I moved over to Julius, furious, and cupped my hands around both of his shoulders. My arms moved to shake him awake. The tears started to become hot with anger. "WAKE UP, JULIUS! WAKE UP, PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME HERE. Please," His eye lashes were perfectly lined with each other and his lips started to turn a flesh white. I ran my pointer finger across the side of his face and over his lips, tracing my thumb on his chin as the tears fell slowly.

My lower lip trembled even more as his death hit me. I moved my thumb on his jar continuously. "You know Julius," a soft, sad chuckle escaped me. "I don't get why I ever liked you, but you always seemed to pull me in like a tide. And I love you,"

I moved away from Julius' corpse over to Leia. My hand brushed her hair out of her face as more tears streamed down my face. "Leia, Leia, Leia, I took you for granted, but I want you to know," My hand shook wildly as the thought brought more tears to my eyes. "You're my ohana too, you always will be." That's when I broke down more than I thought I could do so.
