The peacekeeper rips Antonio away from Mirabelle and push the group out of their shock and forward, on their way to the factory. The other children pull Mirabelle along silently she screams. Antonio just hugs her until he is dragged away, whispering to her. “It’s going to be okay, Tony will be right back, he will be right back.” The group moves to the factory in the late afternoon. @Edema Rue Quote i swear, if you kill Antonio, I will make all the guns misfire.

The tromping of peacekeeper boots walking around the camp sound. The children are in the barracks for their rest time, their eight hour shift is over. Tomorrow morning they’ll be let out, let to roam the district as they please until their next shift. Of course they can’t go far and they’ve got trackers inserted under their chin so they can’t be lost. At this late hour all the children lie in their cold beds, more so mats than beds, awake and staring up at the ceiling as they listen to soft groans. ”It’s okay…” A young girl cooes, nearly the same age as Antonio, possibly a year or two older. She must have snuck in from one of the other barracks, most likely she wouldn’t be caught, not this late. She sits on her knees next to Mirabelle by the bed with a warm cloth. She pats his back very gently. He hisses through his teeth. “It was a short flogging, you got off easy.” She whispers. “You need to be more careful.” ”It wasn’t me, it was that stupid man. None of this would have happened if he has just listened.” He croaks. Mirabelle just sits, her head laid on the bed just above his head, ruffling his hair. “I’m sorry Tony…” she whispers softly. He lets go of a breath. “Don’t be sorry…I’m alri-“ he hisses, as the girl puts the cloth on his back again.

Antonio eventually falls asleep on the bed, laying on his stomach. The girl cleans up the cloth and warm water while Mirabelle just sits there, sighing and playing with Antonio’s hair. “You should really get to bed.” The girl stands up, patting Mirabelle’s head. She looks up at her and nods a little. She stands up herself, brushing off her dress. She stands there silent for a moment just as the girl leaves before calling to her quietly. “Liz?” She turns around, still holding the bucket, the moonlight highlighting her silhouette through the cracked door. “Can you…tuck me in? Tony would usually do it, but…” they are both quiet for a moment before she can hear a soft huff. “Of course, honey.” She watches as Liz sets down the bucket and cloth, walking over and scooping up Mirabelle. She slowly steps over to her bed, setting her down on the cold mattress and pulling the thin cover over her. ”Goodnight.” She runs her hand over her cheek and kisses her forehead before picking the bucket up and slipping out back to her groups barrack. Mirabelle sits in silence, staring up at the ceiling. There are lots of thoughts to think. Some are worth thinking about. Others are not. She would say that these thoughts are worth thinking. Why must someone be at fault? Somebody always has to get hurt. Somebody always has to pay. She didn’t understand it at all. Why must someone be flogged for her talking to that nice man. Why must there be blood shed? She just sighs and rolls onto her side, closing her eyes before saying out. ”Goodnight everyone.” ”Goodnight.” Thirty voices whisper out in unison. Every single child in that barrack couldn’t sleep despite the exhaustion. She lets go of a breath and lets herself succumb to sleep. Maybe this is just one big dream and it will all be over when she wakes up tomorrow. Yes. That sounds like a very reasonable hope. She’ll definitely stick to that until she wakes up, and then she will find a new hope to hold onto. There’s always something…
Lord Spirit he/him Posted January 17, 2024 Posted January 17, 2024 Quote This feels like we’ve created a world worse than the original Hunger Games, but maybe Katniss was doing better than most. Delind fell asleep quickly. She had watched from a distance as the stranger had argued with the peacekeeper and hoped he didn’t come back. Things were bad enough with well meaning troublemakers. She was 16 now. She was only 3 years away from safety. If she kept her head down and kept working, maybe she would survive her sentence without major incident. She didn’t like being treated the way she was, but she had quickly realized that the best way to stay sage was to do what she was told without complaining. That was why she slept easily despite the days events. After serving for so long, she had gained an extreme level of self-control that enabled her to sleep whenever she chose. She was one day closer to freedom. 1
Experience he/him Posted January 17, 2024 Posted January 17, 2024 (edited) Eldyn laid sideways in his bed, arm propped underneath his head. He strained his ears, trying to hear any commotions from outside. He stared at the bed besides his, which was currently empty. His already existent worry began to grow as time ticked on. Eldyn wasn't sure how long it had been, but surely it would have taken less time to tend to Tony's wounds and return, right? @SmilingPanda19 Quote He's in the same room that Liz stays in.
