I Would Fly To You {Lorenza | Day One}

The bloodbath was significantly less ‘bloody’ than Lorenza had initially expected it to be. She only heard two cannons upon its conclusion, and she truly didn’t care who they were. After all, she’d escaped completely unscathed, and didn’t have anyone else to worry about, either. The young woman had retrieved a weapon from the cornucopia. Unfortunately, however, she wasn’t willing to stay long enough to obtain a bag of any sort. She was too nervous that she’d be attacked or killed.

Za-Za had managed to make her way away from the Cornucopia and over to a different portion of the arena where she settled herself down. She’d made it to a beautiful waterfall and decided to conceal herself there the best that she possibly could. It was surprisingly stunning, and it disappointed Lorenza just a bit more that it was all just created by the Gamemakers. It was unlikely that any of it was naturally there. Regardless, she knew she shouldn’t be too concerned about the scenery in a death match.

As the girl was trying to plan on what her next move should be, a silver colored parachute descended from the artificial sky. Attached to it was a backpack of a light, baby pink color; just her style, and rather functional. She knew then that the people of the Capitol must at least like her a little bit, as she’d been sponsored something by them. Lorenza was grateful for this, as it meant she had more of a chance of getting home alive. She wanted to return to her family and to Rena more than anything she could ever think of.

Lorenza’s delicate fingers caressed the necklace she was wearing. She thought about the happenings in the Justice Building where Renaissance had so generously given the piece of jewelry to her. It was stunningly beautiful and it was also the first thing Rena had ever stolen, which certainly meant that it was special to her. She couldn’t get her mind off of Renaissance, even had she wanted to. Therefore, she sat there in thought for a little while, wondering what her family and girlfriend were thinking as this all happened. Was she proud of Lorenza so far, or did she think that she should have tried harder?

While sitting near the waterfall, Lorenza began to run her fingers over the smooth, damp pebbles that were there. She picked up one pebble in particular that resembled the shape of a heart, and began to move it around in her hands with a smile on her face. Looking at it for a moment, she continued to think about home. Moments later, however, she felt a surge of anger through her veins. Should she have told Luanna to volunteer instead? They were best friends, and it was something Luanna always had wanted to do; go into the Games. Though, could she really have let someone take her place and possibly die instead?

She tried to shake the thought from her mind, but couldn’t, and angrily sent the pebble tumbling into the stream of the waterfall.

As time ticked by, Lorenza sat near the waterfall, being sure to continue to conceal herself the best that she possibly could with the camouflage techniques that she’d learned in the training center before her debut in the arena. Many things were on her mind at the time, such as who the two cannons that had fired signified. Then again, to her, it didn’t truly matter at the moment. Any deaths of tributes aside from herself meant she was one step closer to victory, and therefore, one step closer to returning home. She longed to see her family and Renaissance again, but she knew that she’d have to win in order to do so. This gave her great determination. She certainly wanted to win at this point. It was something Lorenza was going to do for Renaissance. There was no way in Hell that she was going to let her down if she could prevent herself from doing so.

One by one, she threw the occasional pebble into the stream of the waterfall like she had done before. As her tenth pebble was engulfed into the rush of water, another silver parachute began to descend from the sky. Immediately, Lorenza rose to her feet to catch and retrieve it. Attached to it was a rather odd package. The item that she had just then received was nothing other than a megaphone. She’d seen them before, but never actually used them herself. Perhaps the people of the Capitol knew what a loudmouth she was and wanted to find out exactly what she would do with it. Smirking, she made sure it was turned off and put it into her new backpack for the time being. This would come in handy later on, she told herself. Then, she continued tossing a few more tiny pebbles into the waterfall.

Eventually getting bored of her repetitive form of entertainment, the pebble throwing ceased. The young woman was glad that she felt somewhat safe with her camouflage at the time, too. It was certainly one of the wiser stations to take when she knew that she’d be in the arena on her own. She didn’t want allies, at least not yet. Lorenza had always had trust issues, aside from with her family, Renaissance and Luanna. They were the only people that she felt that she could trust with her life. She certainly didn’t want to trust strangers with her life unless it really came down to it.

Lorenza's boredom was starting to sink in. She was also sweating beyond belief, despite being next to a roaring waterfall. Despite knowing that Renaissance wouldn't approve of what she was about to do next, the girl did it anyway. This wasn't about doing what your loved ones wanted. It was about surviving, and there was no way Za-Za was going to let herself die of heat. Plus, if she wanted to have a little bit of fun, she might as well do it in case this was her last day.

The District One female tribute quickly unbuttoned her unsightly looking shirt and removed it, tossing it to the side and exposing her chest. She didn't care what the cameras saw. She just wanted that shirt off of her, as it wasn't just causing her to overheat, but she found it rather uncomfortable. Then, she decided to remove her socks, putting the sandals back on her feet afterward. The socks and sandals look was unsightly, in her opinion, so now she was only wearing her clothing from the waist down, minus her socks. Now, the girl felt much more comfortable, and lied back for a moment, but wouldn't allow herself to doze off. She had to stay at least somewhat alert.

"Well, Rena," Za-Za said, despite being alone. "I hope you don't mind."

Lorenza felt much cooler after removing her top and her socks, which was relieving. Whatever she could to do stay comfortable while she was in an arena full of people who wanted to kill her sounded like a good idea. A small smile came across her lips, and she gazed into the waterfall once more. It was surprisingly relaxing, especially when she had no idea where any of the other tributes were. Her potential killer could be just within the area, and perhaps Lorenza was hidden well enough not to be spotted.

Sitting at the edge of the waterfall was starting to get boring, and she knew that there was no way the camera was on her since the time she took her shirt off, if it even was then. Did the Capitol like showing naked tributes to the people if it was the only action going on? She'd never know, most likely, unless she lived to escape the arena and return home. Perhaps, though, she could make some more fun out of it all. She'd always been a party girl, and if she was going to die, perhaps more than just Rena needed to see her in a more... personal way.

Quickly, Lorenza rose to her feet and took off the remainder of her clothing until she was wearing nothing but her sandals. Perhaps this would make an impression on the other tributes. Although, she had more reasoning behind it than that. Maybe her fights wouldn't be televised if she weren't wearing clothing, so as to avoid showing the young citizens of the Districts and the Capitol. Then, no one she loved would have to see her die. It was the best of both worlds; doing something wild while still protecting her family.

Lorenza had Rena, Luanna, Ben and her parents all on her mind. She was thinking about the goodbyes she'd said to each of the people she loved when she was in the Justice Building before being shipped off to the Capitol. What would they think of what she was doing now? Would they be offended? Would they think it was funny? Would they be indifferent? More likely than not, she'd never have any idea what they thought. She'd likely die in the arena; she knew that. Za-Za didn't expect to survive, no matter how much she really wanted to make it back to her home in District One to see her loved ones again.

Lorenza was glad to know that the people of the Capitol liked her. As soon as she had taken off her last bit of clothing, a silver parachute descended from the sky, carrying something for her. It was an empty canteen meant to hold water. This would certainly come in handy, she thought. She quickly gathered the item and placed it in her backpack alongside her megaphone. A smile crossed her lips, and she wished she could directly thank whomever had given it to her. Then, she gathered up her clothing that was strewn on the ground and put it into her backpack as well. Perhaps she'd want to put it back on again later; who knew.

The young woman was glad that she was able to get a few items from sponsorship, as she hadn't felt brave enough to stay in the bloodbath very long and gather things herself. Instead, all she'd retrieved from the bloodbath was a weapon. Granted, she was extremely glad to have it, and doubted she would have been sponsored one. After all, that stuff's expensive. She knew that for sure.

Za-Za made sure everything was organized in her bag and that she wouldn't lose track of what she had. Still sitting on the ground, she tried her best to relax without being off guard. She needed to be ready in case anything happened. After all, even though Lorenza was using camouflage, other issues could arise, aside from fellow tributes. She watched the water flow as she sat there. Hopefully she'd live to see another day.
