I don't know how I am going to handle what's to come. So many emotions are running through me of being happy but also sad. There's positives and negatives to every situation, but I just assumed that I would have been a little older before all of this was to have happened. Then again, I didn't think it would. Not now. Not when I've still got two more reapings to get through. I'm not even sure of what I'm suppose to be doing now. Am I suppose to be staying home? Hidden from the rest of the district or just taking the bull by the horns and not allowing anyone to taunt me? A child just wasn't part of the plan right now.
"Kyanite, what are you waiting for? Throw!" Someone near me jarrs me out of my thoughts enough to handle the knife in my hand a little, but in truth, keeping my game up now is just not really part of what I need to think about. Though, I always seem to think better when I'm busy doing something I love, or used to? Does all of this training really have a purpose now? What am I going to do if I am reaped? How will Matthew deal with this?
"Okay, I'm throwing. Keep your panties on." I shake my head and grip the knife in my hand as tight as I can. I glance at my knuckles right before I throw and notice the white that shines through. Am I that tense? Why can't I relax now? I need to. I know I do... Without another thought, the girls voice says it again, and out of anger, the knife soars through the air and just grazes the head of the dummy and falls to the floor, echoing the clang of metal against ground. I turn harshly to the girl. "Damn it. I'll throw when I'm damn well ready to throw, okay? Quit rushing me."
I can't stand the stress running my life. I bend down and pick up the last three knives and walk past the girl beside me, the one waiting to challenge my shots and leave her with a confused face to cope with my leaving her high and dry. I don't even see how I've managed to make it back over to the weapons table, but the knives that I have in my hand are quickly discarded on the table as I turn to leave.
I halt.
Dead in my tracks, I halt because the sight of someone makes me have flashbacks from the pregames. Someone that tried to help me the first time I had seen him, then the next time he tried to strangle me. Just like Jins did. Just like my mortal enemy that is currently locked up and away from me. What about him? Why isn't he the same? My breaths hitch and for some reason, I can't seem to make my feet move. A hand slowly goes toward my stomach for a breif second. It isn't just about me anymore. My safety has to be thought of first before anyone else now. Question remains though about this guy. Is he still a foe?
