Something beautiful
ASHER RAINER
or something free? TAG: WORDS: 945. NOTES:
Asher could've kicked himself allowing Preston to walk into the factory first. The odds of them finding a safe place to hide wasn't likely, but when he saw the horrible spiked thing come flying at him, all Asher could do was scream, but it nailed Preston right in the chest. His mind raced hoping that nobody was around. No tributes. No mutts. Nothing. It was an eerie feeling. Every hair stood on the back of his neck. It was too quiet. Especially knowing what he knew about previous games. Something was always lurking around the corners. Thankfully the building was a shield. A place to hide, and for now, a place to rest.
The older of the two turned to the younger tribute. Preston wasn't looking the best His wounds were horrible. Asher wasn't even sure if the young boy would survive the night. It wasn't nothing against him, but something that was needed. Even in the arena sleep was important. And someone keeping watch was more important. Something could sneak up at any given second. With as quiet as it was, Asher hoped he could hear something. Hoped that nothing would slip by his watch. He kept his gaze on the younger tribute as he wondered what his family was doing back home. Were they proud of him for surviving the bloodbath? Were they proud of him for helping a younger tribute in need? Or were they worried because many people had the chance of finding one another, and all Asher had was a young thirteen year old by his side. But this thirteen year old wasn't just another tribute. It was someone Asher trusted. Someone he wanted to help until he could help him no longer.
Reclining against the back of a machine, Asher heard the anthem blaring through the arena, and he ran to see the faces of the fallen. Somewhere in the arena, he hoped and prayed that Gunner was alive. Odds of her being alive were fantastic because only two cannons had sounded. Two tributes had died. Thankfully Asher wasn't one of them. Only twenty-one stood in his way of making it back to his family in district seven to a life of joy. A life he never thought he'd imagine. Was it possible? Could he survive the hunger games and bring home a district seven victor? It was possible. Was it going to be easy? No. He had a lot of fighting to do.
The first face was a career. A small grin twisted across his face as he stared out the window watching and waiting. It wasn't Gunner, but a girl from district two. The one with the eyepatch. Asher wondered what it was like being a career. Constantly training for the games only to die on day one. Probably in the bloodbath. The next face wasn't what he was expecting. Rowan Combe. A girl from his own district. A piece of home. He stared at her face for a moment wondering what it must feel like to be free from the games. Free from life, but her life was cut short. Even the girl from two. None of the tributes deserved to die, yet what choice did they have? What would happen if for one game all twenty-four tributes refused to fight? Would all twenty-four of them die? It was one idea Asher wasn't willing to find out.
Turning back towards Preston, he stopped in his tracks. "You should sleep. Get you some rest. You're going to need it tomorrow. I'll keep watch." Returning back to the heavy, dangerous looking machines, he stopped behind one watching as the sky grew darker and darker. His mind was racing, and he hoped that the younger boy would find some sleep, and deep inside he hoped that he had the will to remain awake. To keep himself alive. To keep Preston alive for as long as possible, but right now he was proud. Happy at his accomplishment for surviving as long as he has. Hopefully this night wouldn't be his last.
The next morning he quickly gathered his items prepared to leave the abandon factory. Stretching his arms behind his head, Asher felt the pain from the day. A dry patch was forming on the tip of his tongue, and his stomach begged for a bite to eat. He kept telling himself just a little longer. Just a little longer than we can eat. But was it enough to keep him going? With such a large family back home, he was used to not having enough to eat, but this was different. With each heartbeat, it felt like someone was inside his head pounding against his skull with a sledgehammer. He knew he wouldn't last long without water, and even knowing that, he didn't have a chance to get one. A chance to find the one he needed in order to survive.
The night went well. Not a single person found them, and Asher was pleased. Maybe he could stay here for another night. Patting the younger boy on the shoulder, he wondered how he was holding up. Sleep helped for sure with. He didn't look nearly as close to death as he looked the previous day, but right now it was only the beginning. Turning in every direction, he spotted something. "Get ready." He hissed quietly towards Preton. Gripping one of his knives he tried to cover the other as he released a knife in the direction of whatever was heading his way. Hopefully it would stop whoever was coming. Another day of fighting. Hopefully his will to return home to his family was enough to keep him going.
