Oops feels | Death one shot

My biggest downfall had always been my ignorance. I was arrogant and I let my anger get the better of me, I surrendered to my affliction, something an almost friend of mine told me not to do and it was going to cost me my life.

So when the pain ends and I see grass, I feel weightless, I don’t feel anything. This is what being dead must feel like. The vast stretch seems to go on forever and I can’t help but wonder if I am lost until see familiar blonde curls and blue eyes materialise in front of me. At first I think it’s an illusion, after what I’d been through in the past days, it would seem likely, but as he gets closer I spot the faint scar on his right cheek, the wrinkles that form around his eyes when he smiles and I know for certain that it is my William. Still I doubted myself until his hand touches mine and I feel warmth. I now know that he is here and we are safe. We can walk together, holding hands, kiss each other whenever and wherever we like and love each other as much as we want to because no one will ever try to keep us apart.

“Will?”

“Eli” he replies softly.

And for the first time in years, I am happy.

When we enter the building the first thing that strikes me is the smell, I put my hand to my mouth instantly and almost regret walking into it. Dirt, everywhere and not just dirt, dust, mould and just the general smell of neglect and death. There was no way I was going to stay in this building, there wasn't anyway I was going to stay in here for much longer. The smell had deferred my attention away from my allies and I turned and looked at both of them to see if they were thinking the same thing I was and Andromeda's face reflected one of terror, I guess her affliction was kicking in. I walked up to her and put my hand on her shoulder to try and calm her down.

"Remember what you said to me? Don't surrender to your affliction"

[elijah-the-hunter]

I frown at her stupid proposal to go through the rubble, like seriously?

"No Kaya let's just cut through the park and head east from there, it'd be faster than trying to get through the rubble"

I cut into the park avoiding the heap of rock and metal and then a siren starts to sound, I look at the two of them wondering if they had any ideas but I knew that whatever it was, it wasn't good.

"Quickly come on" we walked past a statue, quite large at that and were near at the end of the park when in the distance we saw a pier and the faint outline of a sea line.

"Andromeda look ahead over there!" I say pointing to it, "Any idea what the siren is for?" I say directing it at her, I'd come to the conclusion that she was the brains of this group and would probably come up with the most logical explanation.

Oops a bear | AKE

I pick up my shillelagh and wipe the blood off of my dagger before opening the door with my good shoulder and bracing the cold. It seems as though we’d be sitting too comfortably. A two building lay demolished with smoke still coming from them. I shivered and and we walked parallel to the park and past one of the largest building in the arena. It was quiet, ridiculously quiet, I resisted the urge to scream just to remember that I was still here and alive. Elijah and Andromeda walked silently beside me, I’d always been in awe of Careers, their speed and agility was second to none.

We came across a building that was completely destroyed, rubble littered the floor and I stopped walking and turned to face them.

“Should we go around the rubble or just go through it?”

[elijah-the-hunter]

Kaya's wounds were taking a lot longer than I thought they would, the bear had left raged cuts all down her arm and we couldn't afford an infection right now. After finishing the stitching I wrapped them some of table cloth to stop further infection and helped her put her shirt back on. I handed her a morphling tablet and the whiskey.

"I'm guessing it get's better as you keep drinking but we don't it so drink the water instead" I smirked at her before walking over to Andromeda and repeating the process as Kaya ate her food.

"I think we should head out after all of this... we've been here for far too long"

Oops a bear | AKE

I looked at Elijah as he helped me take of my shirt and I couldn’t help but feel a little uncomfortable. He was so chill, like it was nothing and when I looked over at Andromeda my mouth formed a perfect ‘o’ shape. I really should have known. I watched him tear the tablecloth into long strips with the help of my dagger and I cleaned the wound with the whiskey myself. It was painful, so painful, but I just had to deal with it, the last thing I wanted was my wound to get infected. I managed to clear the majority of the blood away to see the extent of my wounds and they weren’t pretty.

“Aaaw man…” I sighed and sat quietly as Elijah started to close the wounds with the thread, the needle piercing into skin wasn’t nearly as bad as the pain from the whiskey.

[elijah-the-hunter]

I looked at both Andromeda and Kaya who were bleeding out and shook my head, two sponsorship gifts. Some warm food thank fuck and a needle and some thread which I presume is for their wounds and it would help a lot. I walked over to Kaya first considering she was the most hurt out of the three of us. The bear had left some pretty impressive marks on her arms but she was losing blood fast. I smiled at her and shook my head.

"If only Polar Bears were ridiculously flammable right? You're kind of going to need to take your shirt off if you want me to help"

I looked over to Andromeda and gestured towards the door "Go eat some of that food before it gets cold, also, nice kill."

Oops a bear | AKE

[elijah-the-hunter]

I'd had my nose broken before in fights but the pain never got any easier. I put the tablecloth against my nose to stop the bleeding.

"God damn skeletons" I whispered walking carefully to make sure I wouldn't tread on anymore. Skeletons were a sick thing to put in the arena. I looked around for a door so I could make my way back to my allies and make sure that hadn't bled to death already, I hadn't heard a cannon so that was at least a good sign.

After I caught myself I dangled for a while contemplating my next move, I could try and pull myself up risking the whole floor collapsing on me and falling on my ass, or I could just let go and hope the floor beneath that doesn't cave on me too. I decide to go for the latter and drop down onto the floor of the dining room and look around cautiously.

Oops a bear | AKE

[elijah-the-hunter]

I frown at the beds wondering whether I should be creeped out or not by the skeletons on the bed knowing that they were fake, but bound by the wrists on a bed?

"Obviously some kinky shit that went wrong" I shook my head and grabbed what I could before heading into another room looking for bed sheets, towels or anything I could use to help their wounds.

Oops a bear | AKE

[elijah-the-hunter]

I looked at Kaya and Andromeda, both cut and bleeding heavily from somewhere and if I was honest with myself I was panicking a little. I huffed in exasperation, I did not have time for his. I walked up to Kaya first who seemed to have the worst of the injures and I swore when I saw the state of her arm.

"Fuck, that does not look good, not at all... fuck, shit" I looked over at Andromeda who seemed to still be bad but better than Kaya. I ran my hands through my hair and thought quickly, we're in a hotel there has to be something here...

"I'll be back as soon as I can don't move okay!" I took the spear out of the bears now dead body and headed up the stairs to see if I could find something that would help my allies

Oops a bear | AKE

[elijah-the-hunter]

Kaya's dagger landed nicely in the bear's chest but it didn't stop it, not at all. It pounded towards Kaya faster than I could react and sliced her shoulder as well. It's teeth were inches away from ripping her neck to shreds so I grasped the spear and threw it as hard as I could, aiming for the bear's skull. After I threw the spear I shouted as loud as I could

"Kaya move!"

Oops a bear | AKE

After hearing Andromeda cry out in pain, I stumble back and press my back against the wall, the bear was ready to pounce again and I was probably it’s next target. A bear, of all things, a bear. I’d seen so many in the woods of District Seven, they were ferocious creatures but this one seemed even worse than them. I had my bloodied dagger in one hand and my shillelagh in the other. The shillelagh was practically useless in a situation like this so I pulled out the dagger and threw it at the bear in the hope it connected with flesh and did some damage.

The morning couldn't have arrived any sooner, Kaya was still watching when I woke up. I shook the tent trying to wake up Andromeda, she was obviously not Kaya's and I's biggest fans after what we made her do last night but her reaction to seeing Harlan die wasn't convincing me of her loyalty either. The wind was too strong last night and we'd agreed to stay one more before leaving, apart from the phone bullshit we had been sitting pretty comfortably and it was only a matter of time before the Gamemaker's threw something else at us.

Andromeda glared at me as I started to pack the tent away.

"Don't look at me like that, you're a Career it's about high time you start acting like one" I say before I hear the faint sound of what seems like thuds. "The fu-" a massive bear, well I'd say it was a bear but it's fur is completely white charges into the room all bared teeth ready to eat us. At times like this I wished my one of my arms was actually a crossbow. I grabbed my hammer and my spear and stumbled back. The thing came closer towards us and I could feel my heart pounding against my chest.

[elijah-the-hunter]

Static was distorting his voice, it was going, the ability to speak had left me. I didn't know what to say, do I agree with him, give him what he wants and kill myself just like he did? was I selfish for wanting to live for us when he died for me? I tried to explain to him when I felt a small hand wrap around mine, it was Andromeda. She knew who I was talking to, knew that I was so slowly being tortured, I half expected her to take advantage of my current state, I was a pathetically easy kill, if anyone tried to stop them. I didn't want them to win, she was right and as painful as it was I let her take the phone away from my ear and put it down. A silence falls between us and I can't look at her, more tears roll down my face as I slump against the desk and sit on the floor. I would have preferred it if I was angry at this moment in time because this feeling of self loathing was unbearable.

"Please... just kill me and put me out of my misery" I said, my throat was still tight, I sounded like a completely different person.
