Onyx Clayton


Onyx didn't really know where she was running. She couldn't get away from what had just happened. Her brother was murdered. And he wasn't coming back. This didn't seem real. It looked like the Capitol was determined to wipe out the entire Clayton family, one by one. They took Ave - even though she volunteered, she wouldn't have to do that if there were no Games. Then they took Bruce - not only her brother, but also her favorite, most precious brother ever. She wouldn't say that losing any other member of the family would have been easier, but losing Bruce was worse than anything she could imagine at the moment.

She wanted to be next. She wanted to come to the Capitol and look into the eyes of the people who were heartless enough to kill a fourteen year old kid. She was ready to risk her life for that. They killed Bruce, they were going to kill more people and only one would be lucky enough to return home. And Onyx was sure that this person, whoever it would be, couldn't be any better than her brother.

The Arena turned people into monsters, into mutts who were willing to kill Bruce. For a quick second she had a feeling that her brother had changed too. But she didn't want to believe that he hurt people and murdered a person on purpose. It was just self-defense. However, when it happened, Onyx had a painful feeling that her little brother would have to pay the price for that and even his alliance wouldn't be able to protect him.

When it happened, she still didn't want to believe it. Onyx left her family and ran down a dirty narrow street. They used to walk to school this way... Together. The girl's foot slipped on the mud and she instantly landed on her back. Onyx didn't want to get up. Anyway, nobody would ever see her there - a girl sobbing under the rain. Nobody would ever care.
