Twenty minutes have passed since Coriolanus and Sejanus visit in the arena. Exactly twenty minutes since another tribute had lost his life - all because of her mentor, someone who had promised her to protect her.
The duo had made their way into the hiding spot, trying not to pull any attention to them since the red head had surely recognized the blonde earlier, knowing that the duo had been on the run around the arena as she told mizzen to send them out.
After ten minutes of waiting, they've heard noises coming from outside their underground bunker and as Treech was about to walk towards the entrance, clenching into his axe, the silhouette of the district 4 girl was soon to be revealed, the boys following right after her.
"any news?", Treech asked in a bored tone, trying to play the situation off.
"actually yes", the girl started as she paced around. "your mentor was here", she continued as she adverted her gaze towards the brunette girl, squinting her eyes at her. "and i swear if you two are planning something."
"plan what exactly", Treech protested as he let the arm with his weapon hang down next to his torso.
"i don't know", Coral shrugged provocatively. "you might tell me that aswell or else-"
"or else what?", the brunette girl interrupted, approaching the two. "besides how could we possibly be planning something?", she questioned. "this would be considered as cheating, use your common sense."
The red girl was now getting extra close to Invidia but was pulled back by the younger boy from her district shortly after, making her huff as she returned back to her old position.
"watch out 5", the girl called out as she put her trident down. "might end up like loser from 2 aswell", she remarked, referring to the deceased tribute from district 2.
"yeah okay", Treech spoke up. "we're gonna cut it here."
"goes the same for you, Lumberjack", Coral murmured as she sat down by the cold wall - away from the duo.
Another silence fell and the district 7 boy started to wipe his axe clean as she watched him. She observed the countless freckles on his face, perfectly matching the shade of his hair - maybe a little bit lighter, she noticed the small scar across his eyebrow, making her assume it was associated with his climbing stories from when he was little - maybe from his recent axe stories.
She wondered how long it took for the scar fully heal, making her wonder if they both were able to ever fully heal so perfectly from the games as the scar did, yet it was only a matter of time.
"who's shift is it to watch over now?", the ringing voice of Tanner pulled the girl out of her thoughts.
The district 4 boy nodded towards her, revealing that it was the brunettes turn to watch over the place as the group would rest, providing them from being attacked by the other tributes.
"switch with one of us once you feel too tired", Tanner reminded her as she nodded, allowing e everyone to put themselves into their sleeping positions, as she laid down, her head against the hard wall, staring into the small entrance infront of them.
She glanced over to the brunette boy on her side and she noticed him still not closing his eyes. "aren't you gonna sleep?", she whispered in a slightly louder tone, making him advert his eyes to her.
