Sandy was breathing heavily when the deed was done, her eyes unfocused as she stood like a heaving pillar. She only started to focus again when he tapped her arm.
Blinking away tears that left dark trails on her stone cheeks she watched him rip the body into pieces and she nodded.
"That...makes sense." She spoke softly still struggling to come to terms with just how she felt. The thing had been a monster, she should feel accomplished!
And there was a sense of relief in knowing the thing was dead, and a twinge of pride that she was alive when it was not. But there was also a pit in her stomach that felt like a stone dragging her down.
"So we make a mess, monsters come. We hunt the monsters, or the monsters kill the other tributes." She reasoned. "Good plan." One that wouldn't require her to bury her axe into an actual tribute hopefully.
