olive johnson.
[bg=light gray]Olive jolted upright at the merciless buzzing. The sweet darkness of sleep was quickly forgotten as she familiarized herself with the new surroundings, the cold metal of the cage she had woken up in. She had just… slept. Well, it wasn't the most peaceful, but.. It was an enveloping darkness; terrifying, but almost comforting. As if falling into a trance… being transported somewhere. She wondered, if this was all really fake, if sleep would be nice in the real world. Not to have days bleed into days after days after days…
But that was a problem for another time, because her fellow compatriots were all being herded like sheep into another room. She was tired. And this man, with his puffed chest and his empty words… she just wanted Parker. And she would do anything to get him back.
And she was fully intent on walking out that door when two men began to accuse each other. Lazily she watched them bicker. Did Finn really abuse that girl? She only barely knew him… seen him a few times in the coliseum. He was a favorite, but that didn't mean he had dark secrets in his closet. The other man, Bradley, seemed too paranoid to be speaking the truth.
She almost snorted at his sorry attempt at a punch, and watched as another beat passed and Bradley was on the floor, blood pouring freely from his nose. Olive jumped up with a grunt, grabbing Finn's arm with her fingers digging into his skin. "Oh, for fuck's sake." She snapped at him. "How stupid do you get?! Look at the guy, he's a fucking twig. You had to kill him, huh...?" Though there was anger behind her words, she sounded vaguely monotone.
"Listen.. The boy with Dolly.. Parker. That's my brother." She let the words simmer for a moment, casting her gaze to the floor, only now releasing her grip on Finn. "He disappeared three years ago, and now I know he's not gone. I believe him.. I believe every word. At least, I want too. Something has to be done about it.. And our lives aren't going to be the same no matter what option you pick."
She glanced at Bradley on the floor. "Whatever we've done in this world… might not even be real. You can't kill each other over it. If you really want to keep living a lie.. That's just your cowardice. But I won't stay here, no matter if they give us the option to leave or make us hurt them for it. I suggest you do the same."[/bg]
