Walker's Bakery

Subject: Walker's Bakery Mon Jul 09, 2012 7:55 am

Amaya rushed back and pushed past the bakery's door with the groceries in her bag. "I'm home! Sorry it took so long. What did I miss?" Amaya asked breathlessly while she placed the things on the counter, and sorted the things out while waiting for Kaira and their mum to update her on what happened while she was buying the ingredients. So far it seems that Skye was still alive, and healthy but he lacked the arrows. Every night Amaya looked up at the sky and begged for him to find some or maybe someone, anyone could sponsor him. But she could only sit there and watch helplessly.

"Oh my gosh Amaya, Skye was attacked by an alliance with the careers and they were like fighting and it was really violent and Skye almost got a fatal hit-" Kaira started to babble but their mother cut her off.
"Now now, slowly Kaira, Skye's not going to die because you can't update the news quickly to Amaya," their mother said gently and Kaira took a deep breath to slow herself down, and also keep herself from bursting into tears. Skye was wounded. He was wounded. "They wounded him!" she cried out and she burst into tears, unable to stop. What...what if he died? Kaira was so afraid for her brother that she couldn't stop crying.

(Weak little Kiara >_<)

The only words that seem to go into her head were "fatal hit" and "wounded" before Amaya rushed up to the little television they had to see for herself. Amaya felt a wave of relief washed over her when she sees only a slight wound on his arm. Megan looked like she was more than just bruised while their ally, Snow, seemed to have taken the worst blow. It was selfish of her, but Amaya couldn't help but feel grateful that Skye was still okay. She bent down to give Kaira an assuring hug, "It's okay, Skye's gonna be okay. It's just a scratch. Our brother's not that weak right?" She rubbed Kaira's back gently, letting her cry it out.

Ever since Skye was dragged into the Games it seemed as if Kaira changed drastically, and Amaya couldn't afford to be anything less than strong for the family. She looked towards the television again as they broadcasted the district four tributes in their District. It was quite late and they were able to set camp at least, away from the other group Kaira mentioned. She noticed their mother was putting on a brave face as well. They both knew that three crying women in the house would not bring back profit for living. But Kaira was young, she should be let to release all the grief from her.

Kaira did not notice yhe two and she cried her eyes out. Wiping her puffy, bloodshot eyes, she said“Skye will survive, right?” with a flicker in her big brown eyes. She didn't care for the others. What she wanted was a safe Skye Walker. She didn't even want the gold and prizes. All she neeeded was Skye. She looked at the screen and refused to tear her eyes away from it. What if she turned away and missed something important?

Subject: Re: Walker's Bakery Mon Jul 09, 2012 11:18 am

Pain flashed in Amaya's eyes as Kaira asked the most sickening question. She closed those eyes and opened them again, masking the pain with a warm smile, wiping away her sister's tears that just kept flowing, "He will. He has to." Their mum sighed and rubbed her temples, "I need a short nap, wake me up if anything happens. And I mean anything." Amaya nodded and looked at her visible eye bags, indicating the lack of sleep. It's been 8 days. 8 torturous days. Kaira turned back to the screen, refusing to budge and Amaya sighed, getting up to the counter to grab the milk that she bought and poured it into a cup. Her own eyes stinged and she quickly wiped them before heading back towards Kaira, passing her the cup of milk, "C'mon Kaira, you gotta take something. Skye wouldn't want you to be neglecting your own health."

Subject: Re: Walker's Bakery Tue Jul 10, 2012 7:30 am

Kaira grudgingly recieved the cup. She sipped once, quietly, without taking her eyes off the screen. Suddenly she muttered.“Skye.Skye loves milk,” quietly. A tear trickled down her face.He did like milk. Maybe because they were at a bakery. Kaira stared at the screen. Skye was cleaning the leaves. She wished this was all a dream. A long, painful dream.

Subject: Re: Walker's Bakery Tue Jul 10, 2012 7:50 am

Amaya smiled and crouched down in front of Kaira, wiping away the tear that fell, "Yeah, he did. A lot." He'd always steal all the milk they had and had to pay back by buying more off his own income. Amaya on the other hand didn't fancy milk at all and wouldn't mind if he wasn't stealing her ingredients. She started to remember how she'd chase him all over the place just to get back the carton of milk and Amaya couldn't help but smile to herself. Amaya wanted to cry too, every cell in her body is screaming to bring her brother back to her side, but she needed to be strong and there for Kaira.

A splash then came from the television and Skye manage to fish out a fairly large bass. Amaya then sat beside Kaira and put an arm around her, giving her shoulder a comforting squeeze, "So all that fishing finally came to good use in the end, huh?"

Subject: Re: Walker's Bakery Wed Jul 11, 2012 3:56 am

“We were lucky,”Kaira muttured as she looked at him,starting to clean it. The.n the district 2 boy arriving. Skye worrying for Megan. Then something growling.“What could that be?”she asked quietly.Her eyes were wide with worry.

Subject: Re: Walker's Bakery Wed Jul 11, 2012 8:11 am

Amaya stiffened when she heard the distinct growl from the television and she called out without her eyes shifting away from the screen, "M-Mum!" Amaya gave her sister's shoulder another squeeze, murmuring, "It'll be okay.. They'll be okay.." Her voice was shaky as she stared intensely at the screen, praying real hard, Stay alive Skye. Keep that flame going. Their mum rushed towards them, all flustered and blur. When she was about to ask, Amaya pointed towards the screen and put a finger on her lips, without looking away. Amaya clasped her hands together and rested her chin on them, begging for them to make it through whatever ridiculous thing the Gamemakers were throwing at them.

The screen suddenly switched to all the other tributes for a moment, showing all of them in the same situation, other than the huge alliance by the cliffs, before switching back to the District 4 tributes. What were the Gamemakers doing? Were they driving all the tributes together? Or do they just want to kill them all off because they were getting boring? Amaya bit her lower lip nervously, not really wanting to know what would come next. Skye and the Careers looked ready to fight though, hopefully they know when they should take flight too.

Subject: Re: Walker's Bakery Wed Jul 11, 2012 11:01 am

Kaira was frozen with terror. Skye. Was this......his last stand? No.NO.........Kaira screamed as the screen turned. What if they were fighting already? Her scream got smaller and smaller and she started to whimper, curled in a ball. The whimpers turned into gasps, then into sobbing. Skye......he was still in mortal danger........Kaira thought they would leave him alone. Just for a few hours.....what had he done? what abnormal thing had caused this? She sobbed harder.

Subject: Re: Walker's Bakery Wed Jul 11, 2012 11:18 am

Amaya jumped when Kaira started screaming at the screen. She squared Kaira's shoulders firmly to make her face Amaya, trying to hush her in a gentle voice, "It's okay Kaira, nothing happened yet. Listen to me, Skye will not die from this. The games just showed that everyone else was in the same situation. We didn't miss anything. Okay?" Amaya hated how the Games have changed Kaira so much, how losing Skye to the Games have turned Kaira into the person today.

The screen already went back towards the Careers in less than a minute. "See? They're all okay. We didn't miss anything," Amaya repeated, pointing to the screen and cleared her tears all over again, cooing to her sister over and over again that "it's okay, he'll be fine". Amaya thought that if the Games continue this way, she might just follow suit and go insane or something too. But she had to put every faith she had in her brother till his heart stopped beating.

Subject: Re: Walker's Bakery Fri Jul 13, 2012 3:56 am

““M...Mutts!”Kaira screamed as she saw the things creeping toward her brother. Her funny older brother. The one who helped Kaira cipe the days without father. Now everything was crashing down on her. Kaira was frozen. Only the tears and sound of her breathing could be noticed from her. Her eyesgained a clouded status.

Subject: Re: Walker's Bakery Fri Jul 13, 2012 8:01 am

Amaya flinched when the mutts jumped out and in addition to Kaira's screams. Amaya recollected herself and hugged Kaira, hushing her down before the neighbours start complaining,"Shhh, it's okay, they don't seem to be attacking.." Amaya felt like screaming at the screen too. Screaming at her idiotic brother to better not fight the pack of mutts. It was a huge pack and they were weird. She sees the Careers lowering their weapons, taking slow step backwards. Please don't pounce on them.. Amaya prayed over and over again. Then something voiced in her head, reminding her that all the other tributes were in the same situation. The gamemakers were on to something; Bloodbath number 2 may just happen. That's why she hated watching the Games.

Subject: Re: Walker's Bakery Wed Jul 18, 2012 9:56 pm

“They're fighting! They-”Kaira screamed as the tributes began to fight. Megan failing to block the blow. Skye-poor skye...he didn't even have much arrows. The tears rolled down her face. Kaira's heart was tearing up. She looked through the screen helplessly, while the tears kept rolling. She rolled her body into a ball and sobbed mercilessly.

Subject: Re: Walker's Bakery Thu Jul 19, 2012 3:36 am

When all the tributes were gathered at the moss pit, it was dreadfully silent for a few seconds as they all stared at each other before Heppa started the fight. Kaira screamed and Amaya cringed at the volume of it. "Shhh, it's okay, yes, they're fighting. And they'll get out of this alive. I'm sure they would," Amaya rubbed Kaira's back soothingly and assured Kaira as she curled up again, sobbing.

Maria went directly for Snow but she seem to be blocking well. Megan managed to heal herself while the fight went on and Skye and the district 8 girl, Genevieve teamed up temporary against Heppa. That was good, if they could take down Heppa, it would be a good relief. However Josh got back into the fight, and Amaya didn't even noticed that she was holding her breath, not willing to blink as the fight went on. Skye missed his last shot and Amaya's shoulders sagged in disappointment. "C'mon.. you could do better than that Skye," Amaya muttered in a soft, shaky voice. Would her brother feel her worry for him?

Subject: Re: Walker's Bakery Fri Jul 20, 2012 2:52 am

“Skye keeps missing!”Kaira said worridly. Eveyone was, but at the moment, Kaira only thought about Skye. Poor Skye......she hated the capitol for all this. For taking Skye away. How did they get the idea that the districts were theirs? She worridly hugged the ferret, which was wandering around the house. It began to squirm, but Kaira paid no attention to it. Skye Awas the most important at the moment.

Subject: Re: Walker's Bakery Fri Jul 20, 2012 11:29 am

Amaya don't even know how to comfort Kaira anymore. She squeezed her eyes shut for a few seconds, begging for him to stop missing. The lack of sleep and rest probably caused him to lose focus all together; having to be interrupted every time they finally had a chance of rest. Mint hadn't been as energetic as usual. Even the ferret sensed the lack of Skye's presence around and it left itself vulnerable to Kaira, who decided to pull it into an embrace. Mint squirmed for a little while but found no will power to pull itself out anymore.

Amaya stared back at the screen and muttered to herself, "God damn it Skye, get a grip. You're much better than that. Much better than them."

Subject: Re: Walker's Bakery Fri Jul 27, 2012 1:33 am

Kaira was breaking up. She looked at the screen helplessly and didn't even try to make a sound. Even when Megan died. The scream of tears never seemt to leave her. The pressure was too big on her, and as the mutts lashed out again at Skye, she passed out. Mint statted to circle her worridly and lick her face.

Subject: Re: Walker's Bakery Fri Jul 27, 2012 2:06 am

Amaya couldn't contain her tears when Megan died and Skye was almost breaking down too. What could she do? Nothing at all. She didn't have the money for sponsors, she couldn't go in there to help him, she couldn't do anything at all. She had never seen Skye so angry before. Had he actually been angry before? It was actually quite intimidating, he didn't seem like the sweet, caring brother she knew anymore. Then the mutts came out at them and Skye missed it the first try. It then landed a hard hit at him before he managed to push it off again.

Just at that moment, Kaira fainted! Amaya freaked out and started patting her face, "Kaira?!" Amaya calmed herself down and let Kaira lay down on the ground while she sat beside her, watching out for anything to happen to Skye. Skye hit the mutt mercilessly as it flopped down dead and Amaya could only let out a sigh of a short-lived relief. Before anything else happened, Amaya rushed to the kitchen and grabbed a towel to dampen it and placed it onto Kaira's forehead, gently slapping her cheeks, hoping that she'll wake up. Worried for Kaira, worried for Skye, worry over the bakery, Amaya had too many things to worry about.

Subject: Re: Walker's Bakery Sat Jul 28, 2012 7:37 am

Kaira was dreaming. She dreamt of Skye, coming into the room. Kaira broke down and, sobbing, she wrapped herself around SKye's legs.“You're alive,”Kaira softly said, gasping for air, the tears trickling down her small face.“You survived,”
“Of course I did,” he said, crouching on the floor and hugging the little girl. “Why wouldn't I?”he laughed and patted her back his soft, brotherly touch relaxed Kaira.
“There were so many other tributes.....i was so scared.....after Megan died and the mutts attacked you. I was so....so worried,”Kaira kept gaping for air, and eventually her words were muffled by the sobbing.
“Evrything's over. We're rich, Kaira. We're rich! From now,nothing horrible will happen. Okay?”His smile was so reassuring, and she smiled weakly.
“I hope so,”for the first time in weeks, Kaira smiled confidently. Everything was fine. The nightmare aws over.
If only that was true.......

Subject: Re: Walker's Bakery Sat Jul 28, 2012 9:22 am

Amaya wiped her tear-stained face and looked down to Kaira to see her sleeping. She had a rather peaceful face on her that she couldn't bare to wake her up. She hasn't seen Kaira like that for a long time since Skye left. She was probably having a nice dream, a dream Amaya could probably guess. Amaya pulled her legs to her chest and hugged them, bringing her eyes back to the screen, hoping and praying for Skye.

Subject: Re: Walker's Bakery Sun Jul 29, 2012 10:46 am

The door suddenly opened and a young man stepped into the room.
“Damien?.....”Mrs.Walker asked, her eyes wide. Kaira muttered something ang md groaned. The tears glittered on her face.
[color=blue]“Sorry that it took me such a long time, Mrs. Walker. I was about to come beause i knew Kair would be screaming her head off...and that was when......the little girl died. City square is in chaos. ”he explained apologetically and scranned the room. The he noticed Kaira, unconcouious, lying lon the floor. He rushed over to the girl.
“What happened?”

Subject: Re: Walker's Bakery Sun Jul 29, 2012 11:08 am

Amaya lifted her head after hearing the door open, to see Damien, a good friend of theirs, especially Skye's. The nineteen-year-old had always come over to the bakery often and spent time with the three siblings so it was kinda nice to see someone familiar again. Amaya wiped her messy face clean with her arm and greeted Damien with the little energy she had left just as he rushed up to Kaira, "hey Damien, Kaira kinda fainted a while ago. But she looked quite peaceful till now, so I didn't try and wake her up. The city square's in chaos?" She asked, feeling very concerned, since the last time she left the house was to get ingredients. She hated every time a district 4 tribute died and the whole district just flares up. She hope that there won't be a second time this games..

Just then a canon came from the television and Amaya's head whipped back to the screen, afraid to see who's canon that was. She sighed in relief seeing Skye still standing, shocked over Heppa's death that he lost the arrows he needed. Amaya groaned along with Kaira and she dropped her head back down on her hugged knees. Amaya was glad to see Damien here and glad to see that he's pulling through this year's Games well. She should really pick herself back up, but how easy would it be? She doubt it will be easy at all.
