Stop being so stubborn and think about what you are doing. If you have the opportunity to pull anyone from the Games then it shouldn't be me. I gave you a promise, remember? I would protect your kids. How can I protect them if I'm not there? Maci sighs. How about this? If things become too much for me, then I'll let you pull me out of the Games. Until then, I'm staying. This was an obvious lie. If things really got that bad, she would still stay behind. Maci, like Phenix, could be stubborn, especially when she believed that she was doing the right thing. Remember Phenix, there were pregnant tributes during our Games. They were months into it. If they can do it, then I can too.

If I answer that, all that'll do is make you worry even more Maci suddenly cringes. Yeah, way to play it off, now he definitely won't suspect anything. Tired? Yes. Nauseous? Yes. Although I have yet to be sick today, so that's good news. There is a bit of humor in her tone of thoughts. Phenix, I'm not leaving. At least, not without your kids. I can't leave this place while they are in danger.

Phenix if you are going to take anybody out of the Games it can't be me Maci replies. While being pregnant does create a certain obstacle, I'll still fare better than your kids. I've been here before, I know exactly what to expect she pauses again. Besides I'm only a few weeks in she doesn't mention the fatigue and nausea that she has been trying hard to convince herself was due to stress. She refused to believe that pregnancy could possibly take this much of a toll on a person. Especially now. She was in no position to be weak and sick. I'll be fine she assures.

	Maci pauses. He has a good reason to be nervous, and not just because I'm here... even though messages are sent via thoughts, Maci still nervously looks around, as if someone could somehow be eavesdropping on them. I found out a few weeks ago that I was pregnant she admits. [Read more]

Maci feigns offence when Terra blows a raspberry at her. She can't hide her amused smile as she watches Cherry scold her brother. It was clear that the two cared for eachother. If only all siblings were like this she thinks to herself as she remembers Eric and Zoe. "It's no problem" she replies to Cherry's first comment. "I figured his own bed would be far more comfortable than the floor anyway" she adds lightly. Upon hearing her final comment, she gives them an understanding nod. "I agree, that's definitely what he need most right now. You two Cherry, it's going to be a long day tomorrow- training will begin. Goodnight you two"
...
Maci stands out on the balcony and holds out the eye carving in front of her. She fills Phenix in on everything that has happened today. I'll keep you updated on a daily she promises. It would be what she would want anyway if she were in his shoes. She shakes her head, not wanting to think about something like that. They are safe with me.

"I pity you Terra" Maci tells him as she and Cherry help Terra walk over to his bed. "You said you have to deal with this everyday? That's a lot for someone as young as you to deal with." Suddenly, her problems felt trivial compared to his. If he could deal with this, then she could deal with her problems too. "In a way, you both remind me of your father. He was strong, brave, a fighter, just like you two. I know he is proud of the two of you." She takes a step back to give the two space, but hung close in case she was needed.

Maci's eyes were drawn to the dark veins that were forming in the room. Even with Terra's warning, she found she couldn't look away. Her brain fought to comprehend what was going on. Finally, her survival instincts kick in. She glances away from the veins and focuses on Terra. If things weren't already confusing enough, they had only now just gotten worse, because now eyes were starting to appear on Terra's body.

Maci doesn't have time to understand what she had just witnessed. Because soon enough, the void is fixed and Terra has suddenly collapsed onto the ground. "Terra!?" Maci shouts. She races forward and kneels in front of him. She quickly looks him over, trying to see whenever or not he was hurt. He seems fine, just exhausted she notes. "Let's get you back to your room, you need to rest" she tells him calmly. She gently helps him up onto his feet, moving slowly just in case he had gotten injured. For his sake, Maci ignores her urge to question what had just happened.

Maci had been resting in her bed. By accident, she had nearly fallen asleep. The furious knocking on the door quickly alerts her. Maci is the first one to reach the door. She opens it up to see Terra about to charge into the room. "Easy now" she says in amusement. "No need to break down the door-" her amusement disappears when she notices the panicked look on his face. "What's wrong?" She asks.

Confusion crosses over Maci's face when she gets word of the fact that she'll be sharing a room with two other tributes during these Games. She had attempted to ask why, but her questions were waved away.

She felt oddly exposed in her room. Would she have no place to hide away her worries in private? Her roommates, or more, one of her roommates were questionable. While she trusted Charlie she had no idea what to make of Blossom. Could she trust Blossom? Only time would tell.

One thing was certain. She could rest easy now that she could an eye on one of the many people she wished to protect. But what about the other three, would they be alright? She turns her head towards the door, feeling tempted to track the three down. But she decides against it. She had no idea which room they were in and she didn't want anyone to potentially target them by her knocking on everyone's door and drawing attention to them. Relax Maci tells herself over and over.

She excuses herself and steps into the bathroom to change out of her outfit and to take off the make-up. While she's in there, she takes a second to look at her face. She looked pale, and felt warm. On top of that, she was clearly showing signs of being stressed out. Relax she continues to remind herself.

Much like the other tributes, an icy mask is slipped onto Maci's face as the chariot lurches forward. She doesn't bother looking at the citizens. Doesn't bother smiling at them. She doesn't give them her attention. "You give us hope Maci" her stylist's words reappear in her mind. Her bitterness returns. Why was it always up to someone else to take action? Why should she be the one to risk everything? Her thoughts were illogical. She knew why they wanted her to take action. They thought of her as someone who was strong. Thought of her as someone who was enraged with the Capitol, and would jump at the opportunity to burn it to the ground. But she wasn't strong. Sure, she had a strong ability, but that didn't make her invincible. Yes, she was mad, but not mad enough to fight the Capitol alone. She was smart enough to know how that would go down. She also had to remind herself of everything she had to lose. This alone was enough to tame the fire in her heart.

As much as she wants to fight it, she can't help but glare at Snow when they pass by. Did he know her? Did he know Asher? Was he behind everything? Or was she beneath him? Was it possible that her story was nothing more than a conspiracy to him? That someone completely different was the one who did.. well, everything? As their chariot moves closer his gaze, if only for a moment, falls on her. His eyes seemed to change, it suddenly turns curious. But it disappears faster than it appeared, and Maci is left to wonder whenever or not she imagined it. After that, he is looking over at a new tribute. Of course he is curious of you, you are technically a past victor Maci reminds herself in an attempt to drive away her paranoid thoughts. Don't jump to any conclusions here.

Although it was clear he was trying to avoid it. Lauriam quickly catches Maci's attention. For a second, she considers helping him out, but his hostile demeanor keeps her away from him. She watches him for a moment longer before glancing away dismissively. If he didn't want help, then she wouldn't offer it. She didn't want to push her luck with anyone if she didn't have to. It was best to avoid people's bad side.

A flush crosses Maci's face when Zoe laughs at her. She had to admit, her attempt to seem intimating was rather weak. Perhaps she was judging all these tributes too harshly. She had to stop jumping to conclusions. Not every tribute wanted to hurt the first person they laid eyes on. She was being paranoid. Still, she was tempted to keep a close eye on Zoe. To be fair she was a criminal. She hated to go by stereotypes, but she wanted to be prepared for the worst. There we go, being paranoid again.

She turns back to Angie so that she can catch what she is saying. Her words bring a smile onto her face. Her story reminded her of the time she first met Jaxon. Back when they were childhood friends. She had a similar story. "It sounds like a good day. It must be nice always having someone by your side, who'll protect you no matter what."

"Oh yeah?" Maci asks with a grin. She has a different story playing out in her head. She begins to suspect once again that this dark aura was coming from Angie. Perhaps it was something she couldn't yet control. The aura was unnerving to her, so maybe her power was causing fear to others. "Luke must be incredibly strong if he was able to do that. How long have you been friends with Luke?"

A shiver runs up Maci's spine. She turns around, and tenses up when she notices Zoe watching them. She tried to read Zoe's facial expression, but found that she was unable to. What does she want? Maci wonders nervously. She lifts her chin up and tries to unflinchingly stare back at Zoe. Is this a test? Will she see me as weak if I look away?

"Luke seems like he is a great protector" Maci comments. It would be nice if he were actually real she silently adds. It dawns on her that she may be placing too much pressure onto herself. As much as would love to protect Angie, Charlie, Cherry and Terra by herself, she should look out for allies that are willing to do the same. She was hesitant with the idea of trusting another tribute, but she didn't really have much of a choice.

	Even with the mysterious dark aura hanging around them, Maci still believes that Luke is nothing more than a figment of her imagination. "I'm glad Luke is cheering you up" she replies happily. "You don't need to be nervous though, there are plenty of people here who'll protect you. Like me" she assures. "If you are ever scared or anyone threatens you, just come to me" [Read more]

The aura was unnerving to her. For a second, Maci considers blocking the aura, but decides against it. Even though it felt dangerous, it wasn't causing any damage, yet. Maci wasn't even totally sure if she could block it. In order to block a power, she had to know where the source of the power was coming from, and block the power within the person. She simply tries to ignore the aura.

To Maci, the silence between the two felt a bit awkward. She spends a few seconds fighting to think of something to say before deciding to stick with her standard question. "How are you holding up?" She asks softly.

The dark aura had returned and seemed to move closer. Still, Maci had trouble finding the source of the power. It was irritating to her, she had never had this problem before. She glances around, noticing that other tributes seemed to be getting on their carriages. The source of the power could've belonged to anyone!

She notices Angie moving towards her and waves at the girl. "Hey- Angelina right? Do you want to ride on this carriage with me?" She asks. She didn't like the idea of Angie being alone, especially here. At least if Angie stuck close to her, she wouldn't have to worry about other tributes harming her.

She shouldn't have been disappointed to see that she was given a new stylist. After all, her old stylist was almost assassinated. Still, she couldn't chase away the disappointment and worry that she felt towards her old stylist. A man who has deep scars running down his face and arms is Maci's new stylist. The scars look like claw marks and the ones on his face run over his eye. That specific eye is milky white. He looks nothing like a normal stylist, he certainly doesn't act like a normal stylist.

Maci couldn't help but feel paranoid that this stylist was actually a Peacekeeper in disguise. She kept waiting for something to happen. For him to poison her, to attack her, something! But all he does is shout at her. Which means nothing, he was barking orders at everyone around her. He roughly grabs her face to apply make-up on her and tells a story of when he fought a cougar with his bare hands. She found an odd sense of comfort in the man, more than her old stylist.

When his assistant reappears with a very large and ugly dress her stylist nearly kills the poor boy. He roughly grabs the assistant's collar. Her stylist shouts insults at the boy and demands that he returns with what he is looking for. All the while he is shaking the poor boy. She was surprised that his neck didn't snap due to the whiplash.

"There are whispers, you know?" Her stylist mutters. Maci doesn't respond. Not that she could, he was holding her jaw so roughly that she swore it was going to break. "Some people love you Maci. Your past has spread around the hallways of the Capitol, nobody has been able to contain the truth. You give us hope Maci." He finally releases her and steps back to appreciate his work.

"Hope?" Maci asks with a shred of bitterness. "So why do I have to be the one to-" her stylist's eyes narrow, warning her not to speak so bluntly. "I can't, I won't do this alone. Not this time, not when I have so much to lose. I'm sorry." As she speaks, she feels guilt. Not just for the ones, she is letting down, but she feels like she is also letting herself down. She feels like she is somehow lying to herself. I'll just have to deal with it, my answer will remain the same!

"I understand. At the very least. Let's ensure that the few sparks of hope don't die out." Her stylist's assistant returns with an outfit that is surprisingly fashionable. His encouragement seems to break through her doubt. He was right, that was the least she could do. She wears her outfit proudly. She confidently strolls onto her carriage and patiently waits for the parade to start.

Jaxon's voice somehow always seems to calm Maci. His tone was gentle, which was exactly what Maci needed right now. It was almost as if Jaxon could sense her worry, or maybe he was reading into her silence.
Maci, is everything alright? Jaxon asks.
We need to talk Maci replies, immediately moving to the point. These Games... Protecting Phenix's kids... Possibly turning onto the Capitol... All of that is going to become much more difficult than it already is. I'm sorry I didn't tell you this sooner, bit I was hoping for a better moment-...
...
When Maci returns to the others, she looks visibly calmer. So calm that she forgets to register Lifei's presence as a threat. She sits on the floor next to the others with a smile on her face. "How are you four doing?" She asks. "Wait- four?" She turns towards Lifei with wide eyes, which quickly narrow. "What are you doing here?" She asks suspiciously.

There was a lot that Maci needed to tell Jaxon. The thought of not having to tell him this face to face bothered her. Still, she'd rather tell him this way rather than have him find out by accident. Please, if you wouldn't mind, I would love to speak to him Maci replies. She stands up now, her hands shaking slightly as she waits for Jaxon. "I'll be back, you two stick close." Maci tells the two. She hurries away, trying to find a more private spot to 'talk' to Jaxon.
