What Happened on Day 6 at night:

I was asleep on my side. I couldn't hear anything. But then I felt hot breath breathing down on my neck. My eyes shot open and my heart pounded. "You...You....You're the.... one... responsible for her death!" I heard someone yell in my ear. Then I felt something pointy slowly threw my neck little by little, drawing blood. "I'm going to make... your death... nice and slow..." Boston cried. I tried to scream for help but only a little squeal came out. The sun started to rise giving light to the land. 

To my luck Dove usually awakes at this time. Dove got up and notices Boston slowly drawing a knife down my neck to my collarbone. He did not make my death quick he just kept making bloodlines down my neck. Where did he get this knife from? Wait... It's not a knife... It's my throwing Knife!

Dove grabbed  her spear and leaped on Boston. With this happening Ace woke up with Ruth. Boston threw Dove off him and used my throwing knife to pin her down by her shirt. Ace ran up and grabbed Boston's arms so he can't move. Ruth was covering her mouth while watching this and Johan was soundly asleep. He probably hasn't had any sleep because he was always on guard. 

"Bailey! Grab the knife!" Ace yelled as he struggled to keep Boston in his grip. I was in to much pain to grab the knife. I tried to get up but I fell right back down. "Crap..." I muttered. Ruth grabbed my knife and hesitated and acted like she did not know what to do with it. "Kill him!" Dove hollered. "I can't" Ruth cried in her hands dropping the knife. Ace lost grip on Boston and he escaped.

Boston started to crawl on the floor to stay away from us. Dove leaned on her side and pulled the knife out of her shirt. While she was doing that Boston was grabbing is axe from Ruth's bag. On the silver axe their was blood stains. I wonder how many innocent lives could be taken just by a single axe. Boston eyes were wide open showing all his white and the red veins crawling into his iris. Is pupils and Iris were small. Smaller than it have should have been.  He totally snapped. Nothing matter more to him then by taking my life. 

"6...6...6..Bailey." Boston whispered the 6's but he made Bailey more louder. Also when he said Bailey he stared directly at me. My heart pounded on my chest so hard it made my chest hurt. I closed my eyes so I did not need to watch my life taken before my eyes. Sound of something sharp cutting through flesh.  I opened one eye squinting a bit only to see Boston to drop his axe on my leg (The sharp part on my ankle) and him falling on the ground lifeless. I was in shock I did not notice the axe sticking out of my ankle. Blood dripped out of my leg as I fell back on the ground breathing hardly.

Day 7:

We were standing at the border of the coastlines. The water was calmly washed up onto the rocks. Last night Boston tried to kill me but ended up taking his own life. I guess he snapped back into reality and wanted to see Azure again or something. He dropped his knife dropping it on my ankle cutting into my flesh so now I ripped off a bit of my shirt  and wrapped it around my wound. It won't hold forever so I have to keep ripping off another part of my shirt. 

Ruth did not look so great. She look like she have just seen a ghost. She may just be the next one to go but who can tell. It might be Ace for all I know. We all stood in front of the rolling waves looking at the water wondering what to do next. "So what's next?" Johan asked turning back to us. "When I looked at the 'Map' There is  3 small Islands in a triangle. But it's really far out so we will need a game plan." Dove said staring at the ocean. "Let's start swimming then-" Then Ace paused and started to scan all of us. "Does everyone know how to swim?" When that question was asked Dove's face turned a different shade of colour. Johan, Ruth and I raised my hand. "Uh Dove do you know how to swim?" Ace asked. Dove took a moment before answering then nodded. 

We all stood on the coastline as the water washed up on our feet. I glanced at my ally. They all looked so... determined. But the person who looked the most determined is Dove. She glared out in the water. But she kept shaking... from fear. Tears formed in her eyes. "Dove?" I said trying to snap her out of it. 

Dove's Pov:

I glared at the deathly waters as the horrid memories kept flashing in my mind. I was 11 years old when they died. By they I mean my parents. I could remember it all so clear. I just finished my Longliner training for today and couldn't wait for my mom, dad and my older brother Cove to return home. I always did this and I would sit on the rocks on the beach and think about my day and just daydream about the ocean. It was my favorite place ever. Finally I saw their boat slowly getting its way to the shore. I stood up and raised my hand in the air to get my Family's attention like I always did. Another hand waved back. It was Cove. 

Even though Cove was always 7 years older than me we got along like best of friends. We were probably the closest siblings in district 4. We would run around the sandy beaches together which earned us the name of "The Bird who chased the cove". Other's called us "Ying and Yang" because he had dark black hair like mom and I had the white hair like dad. I did not mind the nicknames. I thought it suited us quite well since I was always the one chasing Cove. But once I did catch up with him I'll jump on his back and we will just play around. That also what earned my name Dove. My white hair and my green hair also did earn my name but my free spirit definitely earned it. My brother always called me Dovey though. 

I was so unnatural to others with my white hair. My hair was never actually white it was just very light blonde. Albinism is what it's called. Me and Coves eyes were the most of the colour on our bodys (Of course Cove had his dark hair). Some pepole will whisper behind my back but one person whispered to another "White does not exist in nature". And they were right.

I started to jump in the air waving both of my arms in the air. Wind started to get faster making the waves crash harder. The smile turned into a frown. Just something deep down in my heart told me this is not good. The next thing I know it a wave bigger than a mountain (Well in my child mind it was bigger than a mountain) swallowed up my family's boat. If you don't know what I'm saying, well their boat sunk in a blink of an eye and they drowned. My only family. I saw my brother's body floating in the water but slowly sinking. I tossed off my shoes and jumped in the water to save him. Luckily I did and he was alive. 

After that we only had each other to depend on. I had to drop out of school to work and my brother changed his job to a Canner cause he and I are deathly afraid of the water. We used to be so loud and free spirited but now we are independent with each other.  The only person we talked to was each other. Once in awhile we we will get the occasional "sorry" and we could only respond with "You could do nothing about it. It's fine" and we know it's not fine. We live in a small shack together and sold our old house for money. And we just live with it. 

I'm no longer the free girl anymore. I'm now the girl who does not give a Fuck what she does. Cause her only family left is her brother and she'll kill for  him. 

Tears swelled in my eyes just thinking about it.  "Don't cry. It's not worth it. The ocean is already filled with enough tears" I kept thinking to myself. I'm doing this for my brother. "Dove?" I heard a sweet voice say. It was Bailey.

Bailey's Pov:

"Are you alright?" I asked. Dove just wiped her tears and nodded her head. "You know, Thought's are just like waves. We can't stop them from coming but we can choose which ones to surf." She smiled. I've never seen her smile like that before. 


I had so much fun writing Dove's back story for some reason. Anyways I'm planing to do "MY hunger games Special" Book basically doing specials and stuff.
