Carl's POV

I unclench my teeth as Finnick walks away towards the spears. I open my eyes and find myself going to the knives. It reminds me of Jordyn, and maybe know she's near will help me. (He has no idea). There are five different targets. Same height, width, and length, but they're placed at different distances and angles. I close my eyes and inhale through my nose and exhale through my nose briefly, then pick up the knife. A holographic screen shows up to my left as I step on the pedestal, and I set it to beginner. The outlining of the target (shaped like a human) lights up red, and I throw it quickly. I hit the target, but the blade doesn't insert the memory-foam.

After Phillip throws the 150 pound weight over a metal platform, he takes notice of me. He smirks and approaches the stand holding the knives, crossing his arms, glaring at me.

"Are you flirting with death, Grimes?" he asks. "If so, 'she's' falling in love."

"Whatever. I'm just a little rusty."

"You're more than rusty," he moves his weight to his opposite leg. "You're broken."

"Here then," I say throwing the knife at his feet with the blade stuck in the ground. "You do it."

He smiles wickedly and holds the knife by the blade. He sets it to medium and waits for the target to light up. The one in the right corner does so, and he throws it harshly. When the knife meets the foam target, it makes a loud bang! He hit the 'person' in the left side, which makes me instantly think of Jordyn.

He turns back to me. "How's that for ya?"

"You ain't too bad," I reply, getting another knife from the case. "But you aren't as good as you think you are." I set the machine to my liking and stare at the targets while Phillip stands behind me.

"And what are you going to do about it?" He shoves me off the panel, messing my throw up, making me hit the target's foot.

"Hey," he smirks, "maybe with my help, you could actually kill something. Y'know, besides your mom..."

I death glare at him and jump off the pedestal, on top of him. I get ahold of his neck and slam it against the floor repeatedly. His eyelids begin to shut, but he jerks them open, then punches me across the face. He jumps on top of me and pins my wrists next to my thighs with his knees. I bend my knees and knee him between his legs. He jumps up and screams in pain. I jump on top of him again and do the same thing he did, pinning him down with my knees. I take the pocket knife from my pocket and stick it to his cheek.

"Say something about my mother again," I snarl.

"Okay. I won't say nothing about your mom, but that about Jordyn...?"

I press the knife a little harder, but without cutting him. "What about her?"

"I know she's pregnant, and I just saved your baby's life. She fell out of a tree, and I caught her."

"So? What does that have to do with anything?"

"The baby could have had brain damage and died. Without me, your baby could be dead."

"How did you know it was mine?"

"Oh come on, Carl. I'm not as dumb as I look."

"Fine. What do you want?"

"Just let me go."

"Okay," I say as I nod. I wait a second, then dig the knife in his flesh and drag it down. He screams, but it quickly stops after two pairs of hands lift me off of him. I am slung over someone's shoulder, and I watch as Phillip gets farther and farther away from me. I want to tear him apart bit by bit, limb by limb, no matter what he did to save my family.

I am thrown on a couch in the glass room by Ashton. He looks furious until Natasha shuts the door.

He smirks, "Well done."
