As morning rises on the Abnegation sector of the Arena, the four Dauntless Tributes are talking away outside on the street. The sounds and smells of vomit lingered throughout the walls of Chuck and Serena’s Abnegation home. After stupidly drinking water, not filtered, Serena has rapidly developed a wicked parasite in her system, causing her to be in a weakened state and hurl everything left in her stomach. The sun was barely beginning to rise, as Serena was busy throwing up last night’s meal of canned fruit in the bathroom, after accidently vomiting on the living room floor. Chuck was away in the kitchen boiling a pot of water for her to drink. Everything seemed almost fine, like the past two days hadn’t happened.
After the busy schedule of vomiting, the tall blonde returns to the bed, when the front door slowly creaked open, revealing four dauntless members.
“What the Hell even is that smell.”
“I don’t even know but it smells like shit.”
“Probably because it is shit.” Dorian made the obvious point that no one had said out loud and shook his head as he kept looking around.
For all they knew Serena was alone and ill; an easy kill. Serena stands to her feet, groaning as she feels her insides churning. The smirk on the Dauntless faces divulging the fact they weren’t leaving the house without spilling blood on the Abnegation grounds.
“Hey guys.” Serena greets them with a weak smile, one that the Dauntless did not return back. Fabio, being a true dauntless leader, commands the way inside the house, heading towards Serena’s petrified body.
Serena attempts to make a run for her dagger until Melodee points a handgun at her head. “I just was leaving—” Serena says throwing her hands up.
“Oh sweetie.. What makes you think you are leaving?” Melodee retorts, cocking her gun.
The other Dauntless stand silently, grinning with arrogance, weapons at the ready. Serena knew she was beyond fucked. In fact that would be the understatement of a century. Serena knows there is almost no chance of her leaving, in this weakened condition, from this house.
Serena looks to Fabio and Isa, hoping some kind of mercy would be shown for her charisma back at the training center. No emotions come across as the realization that is no longer the training center sinks in.
The two Dauntless girls looked at each for a quick moment before nodding in agreement, knowing that would be the best bet for this fight. Melodee pulled the trigger and watched as the bullet stroke Serena in the thigh. The girl collapsed to the ground, holding her thigh with both hands to try to stop the bleeding as she cried out in pain. Melodee glanced over at Dorian for a moment, feeling so relieved that she had managed to get her hands on the gun or maybe that wouldn’t have turned out so well.
Isa slammed her boots into Serena’s wrists the moment she reached the weakened girl, crunching Serena’s bones underneath her weight. Serena cried out as the other blonde restricted her from moving. It didn’t seem like a fair fight but hell, life wasn’t fair. Melodee sat on top of the girl’s chest, holding Serena’s head still between her feet. Taking out the jumper cables from her pack, Melodee held them up to Serena and smirked.
"We should see how good of a dentist I am, don’t you think?" Melodee said as Isa held the rest of the girl’s body still. "One, for betraying Chessa." Melodee said through gritted teeth as she took the plier end of the jumper cables and clamped it onto one of Serena’s front teeth. Without waiting a moment longer, Melodee yanked out the girl’s tooth. A muffled scream erupted from Serena’s mouth as blood started to pour out of the open gap and streamed down her throat. "And two, for trying to hurt my boyfriend." Melodee growled, clamping the other end of the jumper cable around Serena’s other tooth before slowly pulling it out. Serena tried to thrash out from the Dauntless girls’ grips but she was unable to as Isa kicked the girl hard in the gut.
"You’re sick monsters!" Serena gurgled out, spitting blood up at Melodee and Isa. Melodee stood and took Isa’s spot of standing on the girl’s wrists, so now it was turn for Isa to do what she wanted.
"At least we’re not gap-toothed bitches," Melodee snorted, rolling her eyes as she laughed. "Oh wait, I guess neither are you now." Isa smiled up at Melodee’s comment before leaning down to Serena.
Chuck, hearing the commotion in the other room, turns off the stove, grabbing the boiling pot of water with his blue bandana, slowly creeping his way into the living room. He almost curses under his breath when spotting the backs of not one, but four dauntless members. They just barely made it out alive from the fight with a pair from Abnegation, and now this? Somebody had to be joking. Chuck shuffles a few steps forward, allowing Fabio to hear his presence. Fabio turns his head around, only to be greeted by the scalding water splashing on his pretty boy face. The water causes his skin to blister and crack as he frantically attempts to scream. Without delay, Chuck clobbers him several times in the cranium with the hot pot knocking him clear out of his consciousness.
Dorian came up behind him and grabbed onto Chuck’s throat and squeezed it tight before slamming the boy’s back against the wall. Dorian squeezed tighter and tighter until his face started to turn an unhealthy shade of pink. Fabio slowed down his breathing to help compose himself, and he placed his hand on Dorian’s shoulder. Chuck wasn’t going to have a death that easy.
As soon as Dorian let go of Chuck’s throat, he wasted no time in trying to get away, not really caring about what Isa and Melodee were doing to his ally. He swung his fist at Dorian, little to his knowledge, Chuck had a brass knuckle on and the force knocked Dorian off of his feet.
With everyone’s attention on Chuck, Serena manages to sneak a dagger out of her boot. Without hesitation, she thrust it in a downward motion deep into Melodee’s back, making her into the new sheath. Serena, not feeling satisfied, doesn’t stop there. She continues plunging the dagger along Melodee’s spine, ripping right through the arena uniform, cutting down to the bone. The warm sticky spray of blood, blasting across Serena’s repulsed face, as she continues to drag the dagger along Melodee’s vertebrae. The wide eyed brunette lets out a deafening shriek of horror, filling the room as she hastily tries to fire her gun. Melodee manages to aimlessly fire off two shots, grazing Serena’s previously open wound, before the blonde jars it out of her grasp, sending it flying across the room. Melodee then topples over, whimpering motionless from the pain.
"You’re just playing along to their games now! I thought you guys were the ones that would stand up against them the most. But you know what, you’re not brave at all. You’re just cowards!" Serena manages to cough out as she slowly starts choking on her own blood. For an Amity girl, she sure didn’t seem too peaceful.
"Shut up! God, you talk way too much. Let me fix that for you." Isa snaps as she punches Serena’s jaw, making the girl let out another scream and giving Isa enough time to place her left hand on the girl’s bottom jaw and her right on the top.
Serena feels her stomach begin to churn up as she knows what is coming. Her breakfast. Before she even has a chance to move she vomits all over Isa’s face, landing chunks of the bile into her mouth. Isa stands back to her feet, gagging in disgust. The Dauntless rapidly grabs Serena’s throat and squeezes. A small fragile wail leaves the Amity’s lips as she pulls away bumping her head into the wall.
Slowly, Isa began pulling her hands in opposite directions, slowly ripping Serena’s jaw. Serena screamed, her eyes wide with fear, she thrashed her body around but it was no use - the weight of Isa was too much to knock her over and the Dauntless girl already had the upper hand. As Isa began to rip apart the girl’s jaw, her cheeks began to bleed as they were beginning to be ripped apart. Once Isa saw her cheeks ripping apart, the Dauntless girl thought it was finally time to put Serena out of her misery. With one final, hard pull, Isa ripped apart Serena’s jaw.
Meanwhile, Chuck rushes for his sword, which lays beside the bed, but Dorian is tight on his tail, sending a knife at Chuck’s lower leg, forcing him fall to the ground before he can take another step. Whilst on the floor Chuck spots the gun that Melodee had lost in the struggle of her back being ripped open. Weaponless and desperate Chuck extends his reach forward, successfully grabbing the gun. He turns around to find Dorian with his right arm raised, ready to bring down the knife to end Chucks life. Gathering all his bravery and strength Chuck points the gun at Dorian and rapidly fires. Chuck, being not experienced, aim was bad as the bullet mistakenly strikes Dorian in the manhood, crumpling him to the ground with a loud scream. Gaining the advantage, Chuck hops back up, getting closer to make his aim better. The Erudite boy directs the gun at Dorians forehead, as if the gun and his mind were synced. Chuck pulls back on the trigger, blasting the back of Dorians head wide open, splattering bits of brain and skull matter against the pale floor of the abnegation house. Chuck falls over to the floor panting, as Dorian’s cannon booms off in the distance. The cannon was followed by the screams of the immobilized Melodee, when she sees the lifeless body of her lover.
Quickly, Isa stood up and retrieved her axe from her pack. She returned to Serena’s body and slammed the weapon into the girl’s chest. Isa heard the familiar sound of bones crunching but she wasn’t done yet. Serena felt weak but she was still alive, once Isa lowered herself to Serena’s face with her axe, the girl thought it was a perfect moment for revenge, or at least an attempt at it.
Her hands gripped at her dagger, pulling it from Melodee’s back and slamming it into Isa’s left shoulder. Isa let out a scream of pain, knocking the weapon out of Serena’s hand, Isa looked down at the girl with anger boiling in her blood.
"It’s really too bad you decided to stick with that dumbass from Erudite instead of staying true to your faction. Maybe then you wouldn’t have been in this situation. But you know what? I don’t really give a fuck." Isa spits.
Isa thought it was enough of this foreplay and felt the need to put the pathetic girl out of her misery. Grabbing her axe, Isa looked in Serena’s eyes, her lips curling into a wicked smile. “Good night bitch.” Isa sneered before slamming her axe into the Amity girl’s head. The cannon echoed through the arena signaling her death. Isa stood up from the limp girl’s body and looked at Melodee with a sad smile, knowing that she’s paralyzed and bleeding out.
By now, Chuck has escaped from the house with Melodee’s gun and 7 remaining bullets but nothing else. As Melodee bleeds out, Isa is left alone, covered in vomit. As she pulls Fabio’s body over to Melodee’s, she hold him in her arms until Melodee’s cannon fires. Eventually, Fabio regains consciousness although he’s dizzy and has a concussion and severe burns riddle his face. They are left to pick over the remaining weapons and stay to recuperate or find a new house to do so in… since there’s vomit all over this one.
Caesar: Another Dauntless in metal and black, here comes our last of the faction, Dorian Nardelli. Similar to Damon's costume, but different... I rather like the warrior look on him, Claudius.
Claudius: As do I, Caesar. His arms are crossed over his chest, his head held high... he's confident and I believe that he believes he has what it takes to win.
Caesar: Don't all the Dauntless though? We will have to keep watching to see what he has to offer. For now, he looks promising though.
Claudius: I rather enjoy the smirk that's plastered on his face as he rides. The fabric of his costume is shredding little by little as if he's slowly going through a brutal battle... a nice touch.
Caesar: I would've liked to see some blood then! A really excellent idea, but doesn't a little blood make everything better?
Claudius: *laughs* It does indeed, Caesar. It very well does. Still, he looks amazing now that he's nearing the end, his costume nearly torn to shreds.
Caesar: We'll have to see if he puts in as much effort as his costume makes him look!
Claudius: Moving on, let's see what our final faction has in store for us!
