[IC] The Hunger Games Trilogy (Nallore&Wingshooter)

[Nallore]

Asteria looked up to see Callan finally coming out from the bathroom, and smiled softly when she felt her daughter resting her head on her own lap. Seeing the tears in her eyes Asteria gently started to run her hands through Callan's hair. "Whats wrong Cal?" Asteria asked looking up at Cadence and motioned him to sit down as well, she continued to try and comfort her daughter as best as she could.

Silver quickly noticed Callan coming out of the bathroom and looked up at him once more and lowered her voice so that only he could hear. "I really don't know whats going to happen to them.." Silver said softly taking a moment to look back at her sister. "But if she is forced to go back into that damn arena again I will be there with her." Silver whispered reaching out to hold his hand. "I cant let her go through the Games again."

[DeltaChrome]

"I'm scared, Momma. This wasnt supposed to happen like this, not now." Callan said wiping at her tears.

Cadence wanted to make a comment about Callan's actions causing this but he wasn't going to. "Cal, it's going to be fine. If anyone knows how you are feeling it's your mother." He said softly as he took up a seat across from Asteria and Callan.

"And I don't know where I'm going to live... Ten's gone. I want to be with Carver and go through this with him, but I don't know how to get back to Seven. But I don't want to leave Silver or you..."

Zale took Silver's hand, "Silver, hey listen. The chances of Callan going back in there are very slim. And she's a smart girl... I know I watched both of you. If she had to go back she'd be the victor again. I don't doubt that for a second. And if you went in there they surely wouldn't let the both of you come out alive again. She'd be more wrecked if you went in with her and she lost you." He said rubbing his thumb over her hand.

[Nallore]

"It's alright Callan, this isn't your fault and you have all of us here for you Cal and Carver as well and we love you no less for what has happened." Astreia said softly and leaned down to kiss her on the forehead, she reached over to hold Callan's hand. And Callan it's okay if you want to move to Seven with Carver if you want to live there we will make it happen."

"And what if she ends up getting chosen for the Games again, and i'm there forced to watch my only sister die I don't want to see that happen to her.." Silver said trying to hold back the tears. "And I would be the wrecked one if I were to lose her even if we had met just a few months ago feels like we have known each other our whole lives."

[DeltaChrome]

Callan held her mother's hand as she thought, "Momma, what do you think I should do? Should I go to Seven or stay with you?" She asked before cautiously choosing her next question, "If Dad had been from a different district and you met him on tour... And you got pregnant, would you have moved in with him? Or nearer to him?"

"Silver, Silver..." Zale said pulling his girlfriend into his lap, "You wouldn't be wrecked because Callan wouldn't die. She'd come back out of her arena just like last time." He said wrapping his arms around her and kissing her cheek. "But since that is unlikely to happen we shouldn't be worrying about it. What you do need to worry about is that your sister doesn't name her kid something stupid like... Axe or Lumber..."

[Nallore]

"I think you should do whatever your heart tells you to, I will understand if you want to live in Seven the child should have a father and i'd hate to see what happened with you two again." Astrea said looking over at Silver and Zale and then over towards Callan as she continued to gently run her hand through her daughter's hair. "I would move in with your father if things were different, and your father would be proud of you Callan."

Silver felt Zale pulling her into his lap and smiled softly wrapping one of her arms over his shoulder and looked into his eyes. "I know, can we drop the Quarter Quell subject though?" Silver said softly and then rested her head against his shoulder and laughed softly. "I would make sure that doesn't happen."

[DeltaChrome]

Callan took a deep but shaky breath, she looked down at the floor, "You promise you won't be mad if I leave?" She asked timidly before trying to see where her sister was but without moving her head. "I think it would be best if I did go with Carver. I mean I can't let my child only see his father every once in a while- maybe." Callan said before turning to look at her mother, "Are you sure he would be? He wouldn't be mad?"

Zale nodded, "Yes. I'm sorry. It just has been getting to me ever since the districts started." He explained holding Silver close to him. "Well, you're only here for a few more hours before you head to Three. Want to go swimming?"

[Nallore]

"You are an adult now Callan, my time of raising the two of you has long passed. You and Silver are both young and stronger then I could ever be. And your father wouldn't be mad at you at all he rarely would ever get mad." Astrea said and leaned down and gently kissed Callan on the forehead. "You can always come to me for help both you and your sister."

Silver shook her head and smiled softly. "Don't be sorry Zale." She said and leaned forward and gently kissed him lovingly before breaking it. "I'd like to get one swim at least before leaving." Silver said and smiled as she stood up and saw Callan laying in their mother's lap and went over and approached her. "Zale and I are going to go for a swim did you want to come?"

[DeltaChrome]

Callan sighed heavily, "I know. But you did what you think was best for all of us. I can't blame you for not keeping us- I can't imagine how hard it would be. I think that's why I don't want my child to go through the same thing." Callan said as she looked up at her mother but she smiled when she heard her father rarely got mad, "Silver must have taken after him there." The blonde turned to look at her sister, "I can't swim." Callan pointed out and shook her head, "No, I don't want to go. Have fun."

Zale frowned to himself, "Well, we're going to be right in front if you want to come outside." He said looking to Silver and squeezing her hand understanding Callan was going to be overly cautious now.

"So, you're going to Seven then, Cal?" Cadence asked looking to Asteria. "Perhaps I should go with her just because I can relay the messages to Silver and you if something happens."

Callan looked at Cadence with a bit of annoyance at his over protective nature but nodded, "I think that might be a good idea."

[Nallore]

"I just wished I could have though." Asteria said softly and gently held Callan's hand and smiled. "She does seem a lot like her father, but he was stubborn as well." She said and looked up at Silver and Zale smiling at the two of them,and nodded. "Just be careful you two." She told them.

"I think that would be good as well, and just call me any time and keep me posted as well."

Silver frowned slightly and nodded and hugged Callan once before turning to the back door. The warm night air started to make her relax, turning to look at Zale and smiled. "Race you to the beach!" Silver said and quickly ran ahead taking off her shirt and pants before entering the water.

[DeltaChrome]

"I think we're equally as stubborn," Callan said with a little laugh. "Don't worry, I'll be calling you crying and wondering what to do because I'm clueless. You have to remember my adoptive family couldn't have kids of their own so I never had to experience a pregnant woman before."

Zale didn't have time to register what Silver had said until she had taken off down the beach. "Hey!" He shouts as he chases after her stripping off his shirt and tossing it to the dry sand before diving into the water. "Ooo cold, cold." He said with a smile before swimming over to Silver and pulling her close. "Stay in Four with me... You belong here with me. This has been your home forever."

[Nallore]

"Like I said back during your training that you two are a lot like your father then I am." Asteria smiled and nodded. "I remember them, and I'm sure that they all got out of Ten safely and I'm sure there are a lot got out of there safely. Want me to get you anything Callan?"

Silver turned around when she felt Zale's hands wrapping around her and moved closer to him, and thought about what he was asking taking a good minute before answering. "I'm going to stay, though One is my birth home I grew up here with you and my adoptive family." Silver quickly leaned in and started to kiss him lovingly once more.

[DeltaChrome]

"I..." Callan sat up and ran a hand through her hair, "I'm a little hungry but a lot of things set my stomach off now." She looked over at Cadence who was writing something out on a pad of paper, "What are you writing?" Callan asked as she got up and walked over peering down at the scribbled writing. "Really? Really? I just found out and you have names all the way down that page."

Zale ran his hand through Silver's hair and kissed her back, his arm wrapped around her waist. The wakes lapped at their backs and Zale finally broke their kiss as he felt the water pull at their legs. "Wave," he pointed seeing a large wave coming towards them.

[Nallore]

"I'll start searching through what Silver has in the cabinets." Asteria told her and then stood up making her way over into the kitchen, she grabbed a glass of water looking around the room she spotted a lemon in a small fruit bowl, and grabbed a knife. Slowly Asteria started to cut out a small wedge and squeezed the lemon wedge to get the juices out. Tossing the lemon wedge into the trashcan Astreia came back over hearing Callan and smiled softly.

"Might I make a suggestion? If its a boy maybe name him after Jasper in honor of him? And if its a girl maybe name her from someone else who was in your alliance in the games?" Asteria suggested handing her daughter the glass of water. "It just has some lemon juice in it, it helped when I was pregnant with the two of you."

Silver couldn't help but smile floating in the surf with Zale feeling the waves running over her back as she held onto Zale tightly, as Zale pulled away from the kiss Silver turned around when she heard him say wave and held onto Zale even tighter burring her head under Zale's chin.

[DeltaChrome]

"I like that idea, but I'll have to talk to Carver and see what he says. And I have plenty of time to think about it." She said eyeing Cadence and shaking her head and taking the glass of water. "Thank you," Callan said softly and taking a sip, "huh, it doesn't taste as bad as I thought it would."

Zale held onto Silver tightly and jumped into the wave coming over the wave without a problem. "I got you." He said with a smirk, "I won't ever let anything happen to you." He explained before removing one hand and grabbing something in the water. He lifted up a root of sea weed and tossed it away from them. "That has always freaked me out when it's touched me." Zale's vibrant green eyes examined Silver's blonde hair, "I've always sort of had a crush on you."

[Nallore]

"No problem sweetie, i'm sure that he will agree with you on that." Asteria said with a smile and looked at Cadence and smiled at him for a moment before turning to Callan as she took a sip from the water. "Just glad that I was able to help." A few seconds later Savera came through the front door holding a container of soup in her hand and looked over at Callan and sat down next to Cadence. "Zale's mother said this should help, and she made sure that there wasn't any fish in it."

Silver smiled as Zale held onto her feeling him jumping into the wave getting her hair even wetter then before. "Thank you Zale." Silver said softly looking over at some sea weed as he tossed it away and laughed softly. "Your a victor and you are still afraid of a little bit of sea weed?" She said teasingly and held his hand looking up into his green eyes and blushed slightly. "Over the years that I've known you, you never told me you had a crush on me. I remember all of the girls in the school were swooning all over you back then, but i'm lucky now that I have you."

[DeltaChrome]

Callan smiled when soup had been brought, "She shouldn't have gone through all that trouble just for me." She said softly as she took another drink and moved to take the bowl of soup. "Tell her thank you for me, the next time you see her." Callan stated moving to sit down at a table and eat slowly. After only a few spoonfuls of soup, Callan sat there grimacing.

"Hey, don't laugh. If I can't see it and it touches me it freaks me out." He said picking Silver up in his arms, "Be nice or I'm going drop you into the next swell." The man looked down at her and smirked, "I can have secrets too. People swoon over you too. You should have seen the broadcasts from the Capital. But, I agree I am lucky to have you." Leaning down Zale went to kiss her but then pulled back suddenly before dropping her into the water below. "Ha. You thought." He laughed playfully.

[Nallore]

"Well she did it anyway, so eat up." Savera said running a hand through her hair and looked between both Asteria and then Cadence. "So what the hell did I miss?" She asked digging into one of the containers that she brought with her some more food and took a bite out of the crab leg. Asteria looked over at Callan watching her daughter grimacing from the soup ignoring Savera's question. "Are you alright Callan?" Asteria asked moving slightly closer to her daughter.

"Alright I wont mention the little monsters under the waves that you cant see." Silver said jokingly, she blushed slightly and looked at Zale. "Are you sure they weren't swooning over my twin either?" Silver smiled when Zale was about to lean in and kiss her, but quickly screamed when he pulled away and dropped her into the water. Deciding to play a joke on him Silver remained under the surface and swam around him before grabbing both of his legs and pulled Zale's feet from underneath him.

[DeltaChrome]

Callan drank a little bit more of the lemon water her mother gave her but when Silver's mentor took a bite out a crab leg, Callan covered her mouth and disregarding her mother's question ran to the bathroom and proceeded to spill the contents of her stomach into the porcelain bowl.

"So mark off anything fish related from the safe foods to eat list," Cadence said with a little chuckle and wrote down the word seafood on another sheet of paper.

Zale had taken to laughing when he threw Silver into the water but his tone changed when she didn't resurface, "Silver?" He said peering down into the water but yelled when his feet were knocked out from under him. For a split second he freaked out but when he felt the wet hair of his girlfriend floating against his skin, he calmed down and found his footing, finally propelling himself to the surface.

[Nallore]

Savera watched as Callan drank more of the lemon water and then quickly got up and left the room and headed into the bathroom, taking that moment Savera quickly leaned over and looked to see what Cadence was writing. "So Silver's clone is pregnant?" She looked over at Asteria and smiled at her. "Well congrats now you are a granny." She smirked and stood up and stretched slightly. "Well i'm off to bed sleep well the both of ya." Savera headed up the stairs to one of the guest bedrooms.

Asteria quickly got up and headed into the bathroom to see Callan leaning over the toilet and started to vomit into it. Asteria quickly knelt down moving some of her daughter's hair out of the way and soothingly gently rubbed her daughter's back. "Take a deep breath and relax." She said softly.

Silver smirked and quickly resurfaced shortly after Zale regained his footing she stood behind him and wrapped her arms around Zale's waist. "Payback for dropping your girlfriend." She playfully flicked him over the forehead and laughed making her way back towards the beach and sat down looking up at the moon over the horizon.

[DeltaChrome]

Callan was in tears, as she held the sides of the toilet and vomited roughly. "I-I-I can't. It hurts to throw up." She struggled to say feeling her mother rub her back trying to soothe her as much as possible. "How long does this last?" She asked curiously as she reached up and flushed, before wiling at her eyes with the back of her hand. "I can't do this. It's too hard already."

"Oh hush, you got your payback." Zale said following Silver back up to the beach and sat in the wet sand. "Beautiful moon." He said softly taking Silver's hand in his own and giving it a little squeeze. "I'm going to walk you to the train tonight, I know I'll see you in a few days but I still want to see you off."
