(I actually don't know...lol. It could actually be Troy and Amelia, or one pair secretly survived plotting a rebellion or soemthing? That would lead to the continuation of the RP)
Troy nodded,"Hopefully, we wouldn't resort to the last option, even though it would be 4 against 1. We have to take in the idea that he still is a Career even though Amelia and Katherine have their own version of training as well. Spencer is a killing machine, perfected to be placed in the games. I heard he volunteered himself, but thats just his image. Who knows? Maybe they designed him to look tough in the games. Guess we'll just have to find out soon then, right?" Troy didn't know what was kicking in, but as the games grew more intense, the more he decided to put his effort into fighting and surviving.
He took out his own knife which wasn't practically meant for killing. It was meant for survival needs, such as cutting branches, or crafting a weapon. It was like a weapon for a weapon. He decided to cut the thick branches that stood in their way as they almost made it into the thick of the forest. Sudeenly he stopped both Amelia and Austin with two fists that blocked their entrance. "Hold on, its way to quit,"he whispered. Then he clicked his tongue a bit,"Guess the games got more exciting for the audience,"he said bitterly.

Multac knew immediately of what President Snow was about to say. He clenched his fists. "Yes sir, I'll try my best,"he said putting his hands behind his back and bowing respectfully. The President nodded curtly and cruelly as he was about to exit, until Multac caught him with another word. "But sir-If you please. Wouldn't that be, cheating the audience? The audience for the games has doubled-or may I say tripled ever since the Austin/Katherine incident occured. When tricking the pair saying that there will be two tributes will be coming out, we're also tricking the audience. Wouldn't that leave us with such a low rank that even our own people would start to revolt against it? You saw what happened last time with Mellark and Everdeen, didn't you? The people were attached to them, but at that time we played fair to the game and let it go on,"Multac said. Then he sighed uncertainly and went on,"What I mean to say is-your not thinking this will be another rebellion, do you sir? They are merely 2 teenagers. They aren't even as popular as Katniss and Peeta were, but nevertheless. I will, should I say, tune up the excitement,"Multac said. He bowed courteously and decided to leave it there.
He sighed and wiped a single drop of sweat from his brow as he made way back into the gaming room. "Alright everyone,"he said speaking in a loud and bold voice, commanding the people in the room. "Tune up the excitement, the funs only begun,"he said with a single smirk on his face. But beneath that, he was truly worried. He had just gotten warned by the President 2 times, he shouldn't disappoint him. Although his sympathies to the districts layed deep within him, he knew such a wish of peace couldn't come true. He sighed and sat in a chair, obviously exhausted.
"Target is the two lovers,"he said. "Aim for Troy/Amelia and Austin/Katherine, release our newest projects,"he informed them.

Katherine tapped her boots and breathed heavily, still exhausted from the day's work. What the hell did she get herself into? She just stood there watching Spencer's every move. Their eyes were in contact and stared at each other for what seemed like several minutes. Then Spencer sighed and broke the contact. "Stop staring at me like that,"he said tiredly as he scratched his head and peered over to the sky for a moment as if checking the weather.
"I already told you-"Katherine began. "Whatever,"she said not wanting to waste her breath.
"Same here, I don't really care what you think of me. I'm going to get some water, my bottle's empty,"he said taking all his weapons.
"Guess I have no choice but to go with you then, my bottle's empty too,"she said opening her cup and pouring it down. She took her own bow and arrow by her shoulder and followed him up the rocks and into the creek.
Spencer bent down to let the water run through his bruised hands and then towards his bottle. Katherine walked up to him and poured the water down again through the creek. "What the hell?"he said pointing towards his empty bottle. He sighed and shook his head, grunting and picking his bottle back up.
"You can't drink water directly from the creek you big idiot,"Katherine said face palming herself. "You'll get poisoned, especially in the games,"she said. Then she took a small object from her pocket and bent down. She removed her ponytail to let her auburn brown her drape over shoulders as she took Spencer's bottle and filtered his water to remove the dirty particles and threw it in his chest.
"Ow,"he said flatly.
"Yeah, your right. I should have let you get poisoned,"she said. "Dammit, why am I such a nice kind hearted person,"she said filling her own bottle. Then she washed her hands and got up as they went back to their spot. Then Spencer went back to sharpening his knives and daggers as he set them aside.
"You know--you're a very awkward person,"he said squinting his eyes a bit as he eyed her. She immediately spit her water and looked at him wide-eyed.
"Excuse me?"she said. "Look who's talking--your such a helpless case,"she said. "Ok whatever. We got food covered and these bottles will last us for about a week or so, not that I intend on staying here for this long,"she said pausing. She took her bow and arrows,"So now what next?"
"We kill,"Spencer said sharply. Katherine froze.
"No, we won't,"she replied bitterly.
"Stop being so righteous. You got placed into the games and now you have to start acting like your life really depends on this,"he said brushing away his messy brown hair. Katherine was moving for her bow and arrow and Spencer let out a deep breath,"Fine we won't okay?" There" She was still moving her bow and arrow and she had a tight grip on it. "What is it? I said we won't kill anybody!"he said.
"Shut up will you,"Katherine muttered pulling him to a side as they hid behind a tree. "Someone-or something's coming,"she said. Spencer took out two knives from his sleeves as they landed perfectly in his grip. She heard a slight rustle of leaves and had her bow ready. Then a growl erupted as the tree fell over and flew two feet above the air and was out of sight. Suddenly a big bird about the size of 3 trees put together flew around them circling them.
"Damn thats big,"Spencer said as they had their backs together in case the bird attacked from either side. "Capitol made huh?"he said viewing its abnormality.
"Of course,"Katherine muttered. "I can't waste my arrows, I only have three left. And their not big enough to shoot down a bird like this,"she said.
"Let's just run from here,"Spencer informed her as he took her wrist and swung his bag and supplies to his shoulders.
"Then it'll just chase us. Our best chances are here, we have to take it down now,"she said.
"Be realistic will you? If its Capitol made, the chances of taking this down are narrowed to the zero,"Spencer said. "Whatever then,"he replied taking his knife and shooting its legs, injuring it a bit. Its leg rearranged itself into metal. "Didn't see that coming,"he said. He climbed up the tree into the highest branch jumping to the other three and throwing another dagger around it.
"Useless,"Katherine muttered. "Here,"she said throwing a rope to Spencer.
"What's this for?"he asked uneasily as he tried to keep his balance on the branch. She ignored his question and climbed easily to his branch on her ripped leather jacket. She took it off to reveal a blue striped tank top as she used the jacket as a knot. She let the rope stay here as she tied her weapons around it and jumped underwater as she shoved Spencer under it too.
"Birds can't swim underwater,"she said holding her breath as her hair flew in the water behind her as she swam in the middle, watching the board soar over looking for them before it spit poison in the trees and flew away looking for other victims. She waited a minute before landing ashore, soaking wet. She crawled on the sand and spit out a mouthful of water. Spencer grabbed the rope ashore to find the weapons safe and undamaged. He took off his own jacket and lied it to dry as Katherine kept her tank top on.
"Safe a second time,"Spencer said popping his bottle open and drinking a few cups.
