Huffing & Puffing {Magnolia}

[cameo]

~Location A of Green Path~ 

A narrow weaving path, finally reveals an opening up ahead; though still nothing but decomposing leafs scatter the ground below. Within a far off corner, an ancient picnic table lonely awaits for overdue company. Silence creeps amongst the soft, dry breeze - until the light growls of an unknown Griever rattles from the tree outline. And before another thought can be processed two vicious, yet overly adorable, Griever Pups strike from hiding. Perhaps their cute charm makes them friendly? Of course it’s not that easy. 

Task: Runner must fight against two little wolves

    Darkness. Bleak black was all we knew the moment we emerged from our birthing den. Mother trained us to be tough, to be hunters of the highest order. But we were still so young... we are still so young. When the river deep within the bramble birches of our home over flooded we were forced to the place we were warned not to venture. The path seem pretty peaceful until steps spurred from just within the bounds of our senses. With scent we could smell fear, but with vision we were blind in a vulnerable position which we had been trained to always avoid. For cover we fled.

    Light fur welcomed into our sights, but the creature was hideous just as Mother had warned. Her skin was buzzed of fur besides upon her head and only horror found its home within our minds. We had to get back home to the den, we weren't supposed to be here. We were never supposed to be here. A whimper falls before a weak howl hurries us to the invader of the forest. She was between home and us, therefor together we had to force her to fall as the hunters we were trained to be.

Magnolia Tansy

I run as fast as I can. Items are just randomly tossed into my basket, and I know I'm in trouble. My ally is dead, and I don't know what to do. I'm all alone trapped in a world where I'm truly alone. People don't care for them. They never will, and yet I have to keep going. I have to push myself to the end of times to prove that I'm capable of staying alive. I'm tripping over trunks, dunking underneath trees. It's so dark, and I know I'm going to die. I'm going to pay the ultimate price for losing a friend. But who has friends in a place like this?

My body aches, and I just want to lay down and cry. It hurts so bad. Everything aches, but I wipe the tears away and try to carry on. To save myself from the depths of darkness. It hurts, but all I can do is pretend that I don't exist anymore.

My entire body is shaking, and it's so cold, but lighting a fire wouldn't do anything for me other than get me killed. But I have a lantern and it's more than capable of helping me. Of saving me alive.

But then something happens, and I'm down on the ground screaming. I'm reaching for the stupid bear tooth hoping it can save me. I don't know if it can.

"Just leave me alone!" I shout at the top of my lungs holding a hand against the new wound on my leg. I grit my teeth and force myself to stand, and then I swing at one of them. I'm out numbered, but I can survive. I know I can.

    Pain pulls against one of our legs and a whimper whips through the shattered scene. Anger ignites within our tiny growls as the foreign language licks against our ears. Barking berates our opponent as one checks on the other licking up the blood building from the wound. Once care taking is taken care of we return to the rush of battle. Mother might hear us if we keep fighting for the brambled birches we left, she might be able to save us if we don't save ourselves. For our survival we must prove we are more than mere pups trapped outside our pack's borders.

Magnolia Tansy

It hurts. Every part of my body aches, and these stupid wolves keep attacking me. I don't know what to do, and I just want to crawl away and die. They're going to kill me if I don't get a chance. It hurts. It hurts so bad. I feel blood dripping down my arms and legs. I feel like everything is falling apart, and I want to do nothing. I have to keep trying, trying to keep going. I don't want to die. Please don't let me die.

"Go away!"

I shout again trying to scare them off, but I doubt it's going to work. I raise the knife again, and I do all I can do. I have to try. I can't die to grievers created by the stupid Capitol and mazemakers.

I take a deep breath, and I swing once again.

Esme & Emery

    Silence severs the beats of one of our hearts and the older of the two cries for release from the brutality of this battle. No new wolves come to create a pack of peril against this demonic deviation but instead one is left against one. Alone with Esme I scurry not startled but panicked for the perception of the blood we have beaten from her bruises. A growl grows quietly within the reaches of my throat and I refuse to go softly into the sweet night of death. I strike out at the one who denies me the safety of my home. I strike out at what the river has guided me towards.
