Dining Room

Subject: Re: Dining Room Thu Apr 05, 2012 2:12 am

Tired out from the parade I had already been to my room to change out of what the stylist had put me in. I had a shower washing all the make-up off that had been applied and any other stuff on my arms and legs they used to hide up all my scars from home. I had been in the shower for quite awhile but I quickly found some shorts and a small pale pink shirt. I was now starving and standing in the dinning room. I had gotten to eat a bit but as soon as the warm food hit my tongue I had to have more and I ate quite a lot, considering my size. After a while I wiped my face off and I went over and sat on the couch.

I had no clue where Nate or Asher was but my guess was they were in bed or something, or at least in their rooms. I turned the tv on and the only to really watch was the hunger games stuff. I saw the interview with Caesar and the game maker. When the mention of the female tribute from ten was mentioned my eyes moved to the screen and I watched intently. Soon enough it started to go to the past games and after awhile I just tuned it out and slowly fell asleep on the couch, curled up with my head resting on the arm.

I was in the middle of a dream, I was back home in the fields, riding a horse and just having fun with my brothers, that was when everything had changed. I fell off the horse and then it ran into the trees, which was odd, we didn't have trees near my farm, but I ran anyway and into the forest. In there was the girl from district one. She was waiting for me and a big grin on her face, holding a knife she walked close and I then turned a booked it but her knife caught me in the back and I fell to the ground in pain and I was groaning. She had then came up, rolled me over and stepped on my face, I heard something crack and I screamed out in pain. That was when some for of mutt came out, it was half bear and half wolf, it was terrifying and it started eating me pulling my flesh off.

That was when I woke up sitting up right on the couch and a small scream had came out and I was breathing heavily. If I won I had a feeling these nightmares wouldn't stop, I'd never sleep the same again and I knew it. by now it was early morning and no one was probably up. I looked at a clock and noticed it was two in the morning, training was today. This should be fun, there wasn't much I was good at, I knew bird calls, and many of them I also could shoot a bow with great accuracy but that was it.

I came into the dinning room just a little while after Estrella. I open the door to find her curled up on the couch, asleep. I open the door to what was supposed to be a cabinet, more like a box sticking out of the wall, and grab something small to eat and a bottle of water, before making my way over to the back of the couch. Them game-maker interview was on. Nothing I wanted to watch. I leave the tv on while I finished eating, but afterwards I clicked the clearly labeled button that said "Power". I didn't want to sleep tonight. I heard from a district twelve boy that the careers weren't happy with his stilling their show, and the gamemakers wouldn't be happy either. Sounded like we did what we needed to. I kiss Estrella's forehead before heading down to my room.

I wasn't shocked when I heard a little scream at about midnight. It surprised me that I didn't have any horrid dream that night. I move over to the dinning room in the same clothing I did back on the train, when we both suffered from nightmares. When I see it's about two, I was both shocked and relieved. It was just two more hours before I'd be getting up back home. "Another Nightmare?"

I was awake fully by now and I was sitting there looking around the room, trying to listen for five different things and then once that was done I looked for five different things, lastly I was thinking about five different thing, I hadn't realized by this point my eyes were shut. It calmed me down somewhat but not by a whole lot. I wondered how the day of training was going to go, it could go well or horrible. I had no clue, the careers might be strong and maybe even want to pick a fight with us but I knew nothing would happen.

When Nathan came out I sighed and opened my eyes. He was now awake and I had probably woken him up once again. "Sorry," I mumbled softly. Then I nodded my head. "Yea another nightmare..Worse tonight though." I say quietly thinking about a lot of things. "We have training today." I noted and then looked at him. "I don't think any of the districts like us that much." I say remembering last night.

OOC: I really have to go! My mom is yelling at me I would have written more if I could.

I smile and sit down beside her. "They probably don't." If this nightmare was worse the the last there was no way I would find out what it was about, so I wasn't going to try. "Miss home?" I ask curious. I tried not to let on to it, but I was deeply homesick. Just to provide some background noise I press the power button, to find Caesar still doing an interview. It wasn't with the head game maker, but it was obviously someone of importance. They were both laughing merrily at something Caesar had said recently. I would've at-least thought about what he could've said, but currently, I was to worried about Asher waking up.

~ once again on my ipod so...~

~Alright it's fine.~

When he sat down I don't know why I did it but I suppose it was on instinct or maybe because Nathan was the closest thing to home that I had here, so I had curled up and leaned against him When he asked if I missed home I nodded. "Yea, I do." I said quietly. When he turned the tv back on I saw Caesar on there talking with someone, soon they'd be talking to Caesar, most likely about their death. "I got to see home again in my dreams but just as my mind would like...It twisted into something horrible." I said softly looking down at the floor. "District one...Is always there though, she's always trying to kill me and in the worst ways possible..Like the night on the train that night she was trying to kill me but it was much more brutal." I said and I had my eyes shut tight, I didn't usually tell anyone what happened in my nightmares but I felt safe with Nathan and he was one of my best friends, he might as well know at least a little bit.

I throw my arm round her shoulders as if it were a blanket. "I'm sorry," I say sympathetically. I knew if one of use survived, nightmares like this would get worse instead of better. "Can you tell me a little bit more about the games?" Caesar was asking. My ears tune in immediately. Anything about the games we could learn increased Estrella's chance of getting home. I wanted her to be alive and happy, but I knew if she lived, she wouldn't be thrilled. "I'm sorry Caesar, but I've said all I can." I sign with both relief and disappointment. "Estrella?" I ask getting ready to completely change the topic. "What did Maya tell you?"

Subject: Re: Dining Room Fri Apr 06, 2012 8:24 pm

"It's okay." I say and then I stayed close to him. I heard a bunch of jumbled words from the tv, it was like I was slowly slipping from the world, it was an odd state but I really was just tired and the nightmares hadn't helped me sleep. I never knew what went on in Nathan's head and I honestly wanted to know but it was rather rude to ask and also it was nice for surprise once in awhile. When he called my name my eyes felt like they had just opened but they had always been. I was back from the half asleep world and I looked over at him. "What did Maya tell me?" I asked quietly and drifted off with my words. I thought for a moment. "She told me I could win..That I had to win. She told me to win for my dad because we both knew that he would go insane if he lost me..Also she told me to tell you good luck with the games. We mostly hugged each other..I wanted to cry but I couldn't, not there at least." I said and drifted off with my words again because even just thinking about the goodbye with Maya made me want to cry.

Subject: Re: Dining Room Fri Apr 06, 2012 8:38 pm

"She's right... about your dad that is. He needs you to come home." The irony in what Maya said was humorous to me. She wanted desperately for Estrella to come home, yet she wished me good luck. I wonder if she knew only one of us was going home. She wanted Estrella to go home and I was fine with that. She had always been closer to Estrella then me. At first I wanted to go home, but then realized that meant Estrella was sent to her grave. That was when I decided I wanted to die. Death is only beautiful when it's something you desire.

Subject: Re: Dining Room Fri Apr 06, 2012 8:54 pm

"I don't think I'm going to make it home." I say truthfully. "We all know you have the better chance at winning." I said and sighed softly. "I don't mean to be so negative but it's true." I said and then I was slowly going back into my old state of being half asleep. I know my dad wanted me home and I knew Maya wanted me home but I never promised I'd make it home, how could I? When I was ready to die later on in the arena. I mean my main goal was something big and I was going to do it but I wasn't going down without a fight and I promised my self I'd make it to the final eight. "You should win, your sisters need you back home." I say remembering his sisters and how young they were, not to mention that there would be a new family member that he needed to meet.

Subject: Re: Dining Room Sat Apr 07, 2012 8:47 am

"None of them are my sisters. They're my half-siblings." It sounded harsh, but I wasn't a full relative of theirs. I couldn't argue with the fact that I had a larger chance of survival. I knew enough self defense. I could help keep her alive for a while. Possibly to the end. I hope she knew that I would die for her. Loyalty was likely my greatest flaw.

Subject: Re: Dining Room Sat Apr 07, 2012 8:58 am

He hadn't spoke much but maybe I had missed some, I was simply tired and needed more sleep. "I'm tired." I mumbled softly and by now my eyes were shut. I fought for awhile to be awake a bit longer but it wasn't possible, I fell asleep and this time there wasn't much more nightmares, it was more of a childish nightmare that I could handle. I stayed curled up near him as I slept.

Subject: Re: Dining Room Sun Apr 08, 2012 1:28 pm

I was a bit surprised when I feel Estrella go limp. I knew she was asleep when a quiet moan leaves her lips. I didn't dare move, but instead I doze off myself. My head dips down to touch Estrella's and I go beyond just asleep. Let Asher find us here. I don't care.
