Stars Exploding in the Night || Serah + Juliet

Juliet and I had little time to pull ourselves together. Eventually we left Lura, after taking her pack, to be picked up by a hovercraft and sent back home. I had shed three tears, all wiped away and covered back up as Juliet and I continued walking eastward. I needed to get as far away from where we left Lura, and take my mind off of what had just happened.

"You alright?" I asked, half-caring about Juliet's response. A part of me had shut off but I knew that Juliet wasn't like me in the aspect. She could utterly fall apart on me and I wasn't about to let that happen.

One Good Thing | OS

I seemed in daze as the flames continue to rise and fall. They were the only light I had left in the dark cell and it was with that light I hear footsteps rushing out the building. I jump a little and realize that I don't have much time before this area I'm in becomes unsafe. Tucking the machete into my bag, placing back my lighter into my sport bra, quickly I place all Sebastian items into my own bag and swing it onto my back. I can take care of my injures later. Holding on to the gun I limp towards the nearest exist I have but that wasn't until I laid my eyes on two people laying on the floor. One was a black headed, Starling. She was dead, which I wasn't surprise the next body made me freeze. It was Levi. 

I remember only hearing two cannons. One for Sebastian and the other one for Starling. This meant that Levi was alive but uncouncious. I began to have an internal struggle with myself. Would I leave him to die and save myself? I looked around, no one else was in the building with us. We were all alone. I closed my eyes and clutch the necklace of my brother. Levi was the closet thing I had to a connection here. 

"dammit."I whisper to myself before rushing to his side. I trip on my feet and fell on top of him. Grunting I shook him. "wake up, Levi. Please, wake up."I begged but this didn't do much at all. I looked at Starling and shook my head. Tucking my gun into my jeans I grabbed his backpack and sling it over my shoulder. Slowly, due to my injury I picked up Levi and limp out the building. Going south.

Once I hit the cold air I let go of Levi and shake him again. "I swear if you don't wake up I'll gladly kill you!"I didn't meant it but I was hoping he would wake up if he thought I would kill him if he didn't. I waited, he didn't move. I slapped him. 

"wake up! Please."

I felt like I was in the mine all over again begging my brother to wake up when he had died. I fell back and just placed my head in between my knees hoping that Levi wouldn't be like my brother and leave me all alone.

Fugitives || Pop 3

The minute I'm out the door I have to keep commanding my brain to stop thinking about the gunshots, or all the death that seemed to take place while my eyes were closed. 

I must focus.

I must forget what's really happening.

But at least I'm around my friends. At least I'm not alone.

"We should go," I said, putting a hand on the wall and breathing heavily.

Cell Block Tango | Alexus

After finding Icarus I could finally breathe but I knew we had to keep moving if we were going to be safe. Cannons had already fired, some poor souls had killed themselves before even leaving their cells, I can see why they did it but I just couldn't do that. We left hand in hand and after a while panic, confusion and fear had started to overwhelm me and I started to find it hard to breathe. I had to get over myself, it wasn't just me I had to care about, there was Icarus too, I look over at him and squeezed his hand tightly.

"We should leave the block? Head out and see what we can find?" I pressed my lips together and looked around for my other classmates before walking out of the door right in front of us.

"There's a lighthouse over there how about that?"

Decisions, Decisions. || RP || CardAllens(Carr+Amley+Elijah)

 When we finally stop, I take a minute to look around. The cool night air against my face refreshing, taking me away from it all momentarily. The gamemakers announcement pulls me from my thoughts. Hearing the names of my dead classmates aren't fazing me as much as I thought it would. It reminds me where I am, the situation I'm in.  Amley and Elijah standing directly in front of me, a building labeled C to my back.

Looking to my right I see 3 figures emerge from a building. The darkness barely letting me see anything, I focus. Blonde hair, it's Lura. Serah is probably with them and I didn't want to be anywhere around them right now. I look to my right and see a figure even farther, walking toward two smaller buildings. I narrow my eyes and notice the skinny figure is defiantly all alone. Thinking back I remember the only person who hasn't even tried to make a friend. It's Gunnar. He stops a second between the two buildings. I turn my body in his direction ready to go, this kids gonna need help. Before I could take a step, I remember my allies.

"Thats Gunnar" I say pointing. "Over there is our best bet, he's all alone so he's probably really scared. I talked to him during training, I helped him out so he could probably trust us!" I look back at them, then over my shoulder. "And I'm not going that way thats for sure"

I can't feel remorse || Arena - Day 1

The moment my feet touch the second rooftop I know I must run away as fast as my legs allow. The war sounds are still dangerously audible, and I just killed someone. Maybe Regulus had a few friends that now want revenge, who knows? He was so nice to me and…oh god I’m not going to think about this. I’m not going to feel remorse for killing someone who had to die for me to win. This just means I’m one step closer.

With a deep breath, I look around. There are to chances for me and I better make the right one. A) I go down the fire escape and into the street or B) Inside the building. Looking around I realize my suspicions were right. It’s an extremely urban place, one that looks like it was abandoned decades ago. But there must be a few tricks to this and I feel like, no matter what I choose, I will face them.

I end up taking a second to check what’s inside my bag and open it with shaky hands. 5 throwing knives, 1/2 L empty canteen, a sleeping bag, pepper spray, 1 iodine tablet and 2 pack of crackers. I can’t help but smirk, especially at the knives, glad I took a chance to grab this pack before running away.

Again with the pack on my shoulder and gripping on the Taser, I go down the fire escape, reaching the street.

Once there, I walk south for a couple of minutes until I spot trees. Maybe I can find some water in there so I walk slowly, trying not to make any noise and looking around multiple times to make sure I’m not being watched. Hiding behind a tree, I can almost hear the calming sound of the water.
