WHAT| Lottie's turn to eat it.
WHEN| Two mornings after the Cornucopia
WHERE| Q4
WARNING/NOTES| Fluffy pink death.

Although she had been kicking around the idea of getting killed off earlier to go enjoy the Capitol, Lottie had discovered a fatal flaw with that idea.

She was a big, fat coward.

They idea of intentionally killing her self just didn't sit right. At all. Maybe it was faith based, maybe it was pain based but she just couldn't do it. Or bring herself to put herself in a place where someone else could do it.

And she actually wasn't doing too bad in this arena. She had managed to feed herself, and that was something. And not awful food, either.

Maybe she'd make it this time.

Glancing around her, she looked for anyone to be around, before darting to the edge of the water to find food. There were so many fish that, even without any equipment, it wasn't hard to catch them.

Kevin skulked around the edges of the island. It seemed safest after his encounter with the blond. He'd managed to shake a few coconuts out of one of the palm trees, but they weren't much to eat and he was getting extremely hungry.

Then he saw the blond girl fishing obliviously. There were enough small fish beside her that it looked like she'd been there for a little while. His stomach growled. He could just steal a few but... well, he still couldn't start a fire without his powers. And if he was this hungry already, what would he feel like in a few days when there were still so many people left in the Arena? He grabbed a stick and walked quietly up behind her.

Even with her promise to be more on top of things, Kevin was almost on her before she realized someone was there.

Jumping to her feet, she spun, back to the water.

"Back off, buddy!"

[fire_punk]

Kevin just smirked, walking closer to her. "What're you gonna do about it?"

[needsaprince]

She knelt down, slowly, not taking her eyes off him and picked up one of her 'spears', thick, long branches she had managed to break off roughly.

Better than nothing. But not by much.

"Just shoo."

[fire_punk]

Kevin sneered at her half-threat. As if a lone, petite girl could possibly be a threat to him here. He lifted his own branch. "I don't think so."

[needsaprince]

Well. Bother.

She backed up again, feeling the waves starting to lap at her heels. She could swim, maybe...but if he could swim, it just seemed like there was too much of a chance for failer.

She could run. Maybe. But he could catch her, easily, from the look of him.

The water was her only chance. But it would be a slow escape until it got deep enough for her to swim. Not taking her eyes off him, she began to back up, slowly, feeling the water creeping up over her feet, ankles....

[fire_punk]

He didn't smile when she backed away, even though it confirmed his assessment that she was no threat. He didn't enjoy having to kill this girl any more than he had enjoyed killing for Yvette. But he'd learned to not feel anything. He swung his branch at her head, planning to stun her.

[needsaprince]

Stumbling back, she brought her arms up to protect her head. But the blow hit hard, causing her to stumble into the water and to her knee. Pain shot through her arm, and she knew it wouldn't be any help in the near future.

And she didn't think anything past the near future would matter.

[fire_punk]

He nodded to himself as she fell to her knees. That was... well, he didn't want to say good, but it made things easier. He pushed her down further, using his weight to force her face closer to the water.

[needsaprince]

"Get off you...disgusting...cad..." She tried to lash out, tried to struggle, but it was enough work to just stop her face from going under.

[fire_punk]

"A cad?" he asked somewhat irritatedly. "That's the best you can come up with?"

He reached one hand to pull one of her arms behind her back. That should throw her off balance.

[needsaprince]

It did, and she went face first into the water.

Still thrashing, she kicked up as best she could, trying to get away from him anyway she could.

.... Wow, late tag is sooo late! So sorry!

[fire_punk]

It didn't really take much effort at all for Kevin to avoid her feet as he held her under. He shifted until he was beside her chest and waited for the sound of the cannon.

Eventually she didn't have the energy to thrash anymore, and the lack of air was making her lungs ready to burst.

Everything was going black.

Well, this didn't work out so well.
