Okay, so... Y'all... I just had to spend the night in these fucking caves again because literally we would have to climb back up the entire side of the mountain to get back up to the castle, and the other options are either walking further in- no- or jumping off, which I'm lowkey considering at this point because this has me fucked up. My fuckin' neck hurts from the bat attack yesterday, my back hurts from the shitty makeshift bed, and my pride hurts because I'm already an ugly sleeper and now I'm like literally waking up in a dark-ass, damp fuckin' nasty cave and I'm craving blood again of all things and it's just-
It's fucked up.
And that's not even to mention everything going on with my alliance. If Kiko hadn't literally eaten her way through that bat swarm yesterday, I lowkey don't think she would've pulled through. Like, even if we'd all made it out together, she was getting fucked up. The blood made her feel better, but I think it saved her.
And then there's Elvena, who definitely has some really scary skeletons in her closet. Not a day goes by that I'm not glad I was smart enough to put her on my side. She's a good guard dog, but a vicious fucking enemy. Unlike the rest of us, the pain doesn't even seem to phase the bitch. Or at least she's better at handling it.
Mer, for instance, who was supposed to be sucking up all the damage in the plan I showed to the gamemakers in my Private Training Session, must have gotten her fill of standing out front or something, because for the last couple days she's been doing damage from the back and avoiding as much confrontation with whatever spooky little creatures the gamemakers have decided to throw at us.
But I keep thinking about what Elvena said yesterday, about how that time today we'd be fighting other tributes. The idea of it freaks me out, but I don't show it. I can't. I can only hope- silently- that the girl who has studied this contest her entire life is wrong. Maybe our decision to stay buried into the side of a rock was smart after all- maybe we're too remote for the other tributes to reach. Maybe.
Hopefully.
"Okay," I declare, my voice reverberating against the walls, "I vote we at least walk back to the mouth so I can see."
The dreadful feeling in my chest might be made better with some sunlight, after all. Assuming the sun is even out. This far in, I'm pretty sure the only reason any of us can see at all is because we're so used to the dark. Everything is best viewed in layers of shadow. For instance, the darkest dark is the wall opposite to me- I can see the peaks and valleys were the few molecules of light that've made it this far are creating against it. And that blob, there- that's Kiko. She'd probably been resting until I spoke up. The less-dark blob closest to me is Elvena's head- blonde hair against the shadowy folds of nothing surrounding us. And then, in the distance, is a tiny little pin prick of sunlight from the outside world. We'll have to walk toward it until it exceeds our heights by several feet easy before we make it back out, and I'm pretty sure light travels hella far, so-
"So let's go now, so that there might still be sunlight by the time we get there."
We've been walking for maybe ten minutes, me holding up a torch so that we can see, when we notice the disruption of the light at the end of the tunnel. At this point we're close enough that it's about a foot and a half on light, but it's still plenty for us to see as a lone figure drops into the mouth and begins delving further into it.
"Shit," I whisper. Not long after, I see others following. Whether they were allies to the first, or hunters of, I couldn't be sure. But it didn't matter. With them running toward us, and us running toward them, a crash is inevitable.
I look to Elvena.
"I hate it when you're right."
It's fucked up.
