Will I see another sunrise(Moss vs. Platypus bear day4)

[Sage]

Silence, like a cloak, envelopes my ears as I lie in the sand, just waiting to die. If anyone wanted to, they could kill me now, I'm not exactly able to defend myself. My good hand is gone and I'm so dizzy from blood loss it's not even funny. At least it will be night soon, then I will be hidden from other people. The events of the day run on replay in my head, the latch crab and the searing pain of cutting off my arm. I hope to ripred I never have to experience that again. My left hand wraps around my necklace, feeling a slight bit of comfort but in this arena, there are few comforts and the ones you get are usually short lived. It's weird not having my dominant hand anymore, I suppose I will to get used to it, unless I become a victor (which I doubt) and get a prosthetic arm.

The overcast sky feels like it's glaring at me, looking at me with disapproval and anger. I shouldn't be alive, I should be on my way home in a coffin, cold and dead. I should not still be breathing, my heart should not still be beating, blood should not still be flowing through my veins. "I'm still alive but I'm barely breathin, just prayin to a god that I don't believe in." the song escapes my lips but my voice is scratchy and feels like it hasn't been used in a while. I don't know why I have started singing but I have. Why am I letting the people of the Capitol have the pleasure of hearing my voice? (It could help get you sponsors) Iris reminds me. It's mine though. They've taken everything else I have, without songs, I don't know who I am. I protest silently.

A drop of rain lands on my face, oh please don't make it rain. I look up to the pitch black sky and feel hunger growl at my stomach. I haven't eaten in days. Suddenly, as if someone flipped a switch (which they probably did) it starts pouring rain and I am soaked within moments, the sabd around me soaked as well. Taking my rucksack, I attempt to fashion some sort of shelter from it but I am soon soaked to the skin. It's so cold, this place, I need to get somewhere warmer. Standing up, I pick up my rucksack which is getting soaked, and begin walking. Where I'm going? I am not a hundred percent sure but I need to get far away from here. My hair hangs limply in my face as I try to feel my way through the darkness. "Feelin my way through the darkness, guided by a beatin heart. I can't tell where the journey will end, but I know where to start." I warble through the darkness, trying to keep myself optimistic. Luke would have wanted that, for me to stay strong. The patter of rain reminds me of summer nights when my mother used to sing us to sleep whenever it rained. "I miss you mom." I whisper to the sky. I miss my family, they must be so proud of me, making it so far.

I finally allow myself to give in to the exhaustion that is tugging at my limbs and I collapse, falling into a haunting dream that I cannot remember only that it scared the crap out of me. When I awaken, I find that the sky has lightened but the rain has not stopped. Most likely, there is going to be a big fight today, I wonder whos faces I will see in the sky.

Packing up my things, I keep moving, stumbling from the hunger that is impossible to ignore now. I have those carcasses in my rucksack as well as the edible plants. Pulling my soaked rucksack from my back, I pull out one of the carcasses and nibble on it, knowing it will givr me strength for the day.

The boom of a cannon startles me and I wonder who it was for. I will find out tonight I guess. (Be happy it wasn't yours) Iris reminds me and I nod. That's when I see it, the mutt. This must be what I will face today. Dropping my bag, I pull out my knife and without hesitation attack the creature.

Cabbage sniffed the ground in earnest. There it was again! The scent of blood, swift and thick on the ground. It did little to excite Cabbage when thinking about the prospect of food, but it was thrilling nonetheless. Something had happened here! Something in…near Cabbage’s nest. Tightening up further in a fall, Cabbage swept his beady eyes across the ground, searching. Someone had been near him…and then—pain! Cabbage growled in horror as something, an intruder darted past his nest, and he rose up, nine feet of fury as he lunged forward to protect his nest.

Something floats past me on the relentless breeze that buffets this entire area and I snatch it up, discoverin that it is a baton, a conductors baton. Odd. I don't have time to dwell on the strangeness of it as the mutt lunges at me. I feel a slight sting as it nicks me in the arm, right above where my hand used to be and I growl at it, wondering how to distract it. Suddenly, I spot some old cabages, why would a mutt be hoarding cabages of all things.

Ignoring the small voice telling me I probably shouldn't anger this creature, I pick uo one of the rotting things and stare at the creature before attacking it again.

Cabbage roared in anger. What a vile human! How dare she think to come near Cabbage and Cabbage's precious...Cabbage's eyes darted back to his nest where several rotting cabbages lay--she mustn't take them from him! They were his cabbages! Though rotting, though completely inedible, they were his cabbages since he gathered them gently in his beak and carried them to his nest. Since he laid them lovingly beside him and stroked the maggots from their green hides and held them close as he slept. He wasn't about to lose it! He retaliated with his tail.

This horrible creature standing before me needs to die, but nothing will stop it. It keeps attacking me as my weapon keeps missing over and over. It wants me dead just like Luke, and Aurora, and several others are. It wants me to die, and I'm not ready to die. Exhaustion floods through my veins like a liquid fire, but somewhere deep inside, my brain tells me to keep moving. It's not time for me to die. My family is watching me, and I want to make them proud, but how can anyone make them proud if they die? It doesn't matter anymore because more have to die. I try to move out of the way of its attack, but I can’t. Blood pours from my thigh as I stare at the beast. Pain surges through my body It’s time for this thing to die. With that, I raise my hand and lunge towards the beast in front of me.

Cabbage didn't like this girl. More than anything, he just wanted to curl around his beautiful cabbages and sleep, but alas! They were blood-stained now, this girl's and Cabbages, dying his nest a bright red. Cabbage gave a roar and lunged at her with his tail again.

What would Luke do if he was still alive? What would Aurora do if she was still here with me? Watching her die from the poison was horrible. The latch crab took my arm away from me, and nobody even cares. What is my family thinking about right now? I miss them, I miss Luke, and I miss Aurora. I miss my family, especially my twin Colin. It's hard to keep fighting knowing how quickly lives can be ended. Giving up would be easy, but giving up would cause me to die. Is dying worth the fight? Is killing these people worth living? Nobody can tell me anything. Nothing will change the life that's been placed on the line the moment my name was called. I can only hope the people watching are pleased with me. I just want this to be done with. I want to kill the stupid mutt here to destroy me. I tighten my grip on the knife and lash out on the beast again hoping it’ll die.

Cabbage roared something that translate , in bear language, my cabbages!

And the damn mutt strikes again as it hopes to bring more pain upon me, but this time I’m ready. Somehow, by the grace of ripred, I block. My entire body hurts, and I'm growing tired, and I want to give up, but I can't. I can't die like this by a creation of the Capitol. I look over at the cabbages coated with red as blood pours from the wounds upon my body. It hurts, and having those cabbages would be a nice trophy, but I need to survive. I look the beast in the eye as my teeth grind against one another. I grip the knife as tight as I possibly can as I prepare to lunge again, this time I hope to end it because if I don't move fast, it's going to end me. All the pain will go away; I just need to be strong for one more moment.

Cabbage is probably going down for a long winter's
Nap but not without another roar.

[Sage]

The mutt won't go down without a fight. It keeps attacking me over and over and over. Nothing makes sense anymore. Anger surges through my body as I fight to kill this thing. Exhaustion slowly floods my veins as I look around trying to keep my eyes focused. It's almost dead, and I am going to kill it. It would be much easier if Luke and Aurora was here with me, but they aren't here. They are dead, and I will be dead too if I give up. I won't give up. I will be strong, and I will fight on. I raise the knife high into the air before running towards the beast as fast as I can. I will kill it if it's the last thing I do.
