Bio: Despite what Xander would lead you to believe the world does not revolve around him. Maybe in his universe it does, but not everyone else's and he needs to realize that not everything involves him. Someone really needs to knock him down a peg or two. Even though many have offered, he doesn't seem to be phased so maybe someone should really do it this time around. This Irish boy has his sights on one Hufflepuff girl not that he'd ever admit he likes her, though whether or not she returns his feelings remains to be seen.

#020 The Beautiful People - Marilyn Manson
Arrival to the Capitol {The Hunger Games Challenge}
 
Ellen Page as Jaxx Leto
Hayden Christensen as Stephan Cage
Sasha Pivovarova as Astoria Dodge
Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Caleb Scorn
 
Astoria hurried Jaxx and Stephan off the train followed by Caleb not far behind. The group was immediately greeted by a booming welcome from the crowd of people at the station. The two teens from District 5 had never seen anything like it. Jaxx stared in awe at the tremendous sight before her. Huge glass and metal buildings cut through the sky, towering above them. The highest reached up through puffy white clouds. Everything sparkled; every gleaming tile, bright wall, and even the smiles off the strange capitol citizens seemed to glisten with an ethereal glow. It took her breath away.
Caleb looked over at the wonderstruck tributes. The girl, Jaxx, was compelling. She seemed a million miles away standing just a foot or so from him. It was like Jaxx was absorbing a whole new universe of knowledge. But he could relate. After all, he had stood in her place just four years ago. He reached out to take her hand. Jaxx looked up quickly. He simply led her and the others through the station, then to their transport who took them to meet the beauty team. Caleb kept his and around hers the whole way. Neither acknowledged it.
Stephan looked at Jaxx for the hundredth time that morning. Her face was a blank canvas however. He envied that. No matter how he tried Stephan could never keep his emotions hidden very well. These capitol people were very strange, he thought looking at Astoria and the few other locals on the bus. They had no deeper thoughts then materialistic, superficial values. So were they controlled by the capitol? Or were their weak minds the reason for the freedom they had. Could you even call it that? Stephan started to tap his foot anxiously. He looked over at Jaxx and glanced at her hand again- still in Caleb’s. And what was with that guy? What was his angle, getting close to Jaxx like this? For some odd reason, it bothered Stephan. It bothered him a great deal.

#019 Sweet Dreams - Marilyn Manson
On the Train {The Hunger Games Challenge}
 
Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Caleb Scorn
Sasha Pivovarova as Astoria Dodge
 
The air was cool and crisp against Stephan’s face while he watched his home district fade further into the distance. Then, he turned and faced his new future. Walking into the train side by side, Jaxx and Stephan were immediately introduced to a startling pair: a young blonde woman with dramatic makeup was arguing with a tall dark haired man. He appeared to be quite a few years older than Jaxx but neither of the two tributes could guess at the girl’s age. She had a child-like face but there was a sexiness about her that lead one to believe she was more mature in years than her physical appearance showed. Stephan cleared his throat loudly to get their attention.
“Oh, I’m sorry sweetie, I didn’t notice you there. I’m Astoria Dodge, your escort for the games! Isn’t it so exciting?” She giggled a little. “You must be Stephan and Jac-”
“Jaxx,” Jaxx finished for her. She hated her full name. She turned to the man next to Astoria, “And who are you?”
He nodded and replied, “I am your mentor. My name is Caleb Scorn. I won the games four years ago.”
The rest of the train ride was uneventful. Astoria told Stephan and Jaxx about the prep team who would be in charge of the hair and makeup and the fashion designer who the tributes would be meeting once the train arrived in the capitol. Until then Stephan and Jaxx were left alone to their thoughts as they towering city approached.

#018 Skinny Love - Birdy
The Reaping {The Hunger Games Challenge}
 
Nicholas Hoult as Sammy Leto
Hayden Christensen as Stephan Cage
Jared Leto as Himself (Jared Leto)
 
Carefully Jaxx put her hand through the brown strands to divide her hair. She gathered each side loosely and tied them with pretty ribbon. She stood to put on her shoes and left. The street was deserted; everyone was either downtown already or watching from the security of their homes. A chill went through her spines as Jaxx hopped on her motorcycle and started driving
Jared stood at the edge of the cliff with his back to the wind and met the suns glare with one of his own. Nothing came to his brain. Just took another swig from the bottle and felt the burn slide down his throat. It was some strong liquor but not strong enough.
Jaxx arrived just in time for the reaping. After registering quickly she joined the crowd of teenage girls around her age to wait.
Soon enough it was time to start. James stood waiting anxiously as the woman from the capitol stepped up to the stage. She gave them all an artificial, perfect, annoying grin and gave a maddeningly cheery introduction. He craned his neck to find his sister who held her face in an expressionless mask.
Her eyes spoke volumes, Jared thought. They told of more than words ever could. She was beautiful. Another long pull from his drink. Tears were forming in his eyes already. Why had she done it? Putting her name in so many times, it was stupid. Jared wished he was still young enough to enter for tessarae. Instead his sister had secretly entered herself more than forty times. James told him last night finally so he could brace himself for the likeliness of today.
Jaxx closed her eyes as they prepared to draw names. “JACQUELYN ALICE LETO!” Her heart froze as her name was called. Mechanically, her feet began to move and heads turned to look at her. She took the steps up to the stage slow and deliberately. She met no one’s eye in the crowd. But she saw her brother above them on the cliff. He smashed the useless bottle to the ground. Nothing could prepare Jared for this. The look of pure horror in her eyes was too much to take. He turned and walked away.
Another name was called. He walked to stand by her on the stage. Then he whispered to Jaxx in her ear, “You will see them again. I promise.” The rest was a blur. Jaxx saw her parents and James and said goodbye. Sammy kept trying to get them to let him replace to boy tribute so he could come with me but he was too old. Finally he walked over to the other tribute, a blue-eyed guy with light, dusty brown hair about a year younger than him.
“You will fight for her. Protect her with your life. Please. I can’t live without her,” Sammy begged his oldest friend. Even if no one else saw it, he knew Stephan had feelings for his sister. For the first time since he heard them call their names he found comfort in this.
“I know. I will,” the friend replied. Stephan would not let her die.
Jaxx walked outside and found her best friend waiting for her. Jared gave her a hard stare. He smelled like booze and smoke. After a while he took her into his arms and held his sister close. “I’ll be here waiting for you. Right here in this spot. Come back for me.” Jared shook a little as he spoke and for the first time Jaxx let herself cry.

#017 Hawk Eyes - The Kicks
 
Hanging out in District 5 {The Hunger Games Challenge}
 
Jaxx shook a few stray pieces of hair out of her face. She revved the engine a bit, anxious to start driving. Jared was finally back from... well, whatever crazy adventures he had when he left for months at a time. Jaxx loved all of Jared; she loved all of her family very much. Sometimes though she just wished he was around more. That was why when her oldest brother was home she made sure to make the most of their time. Naturally, the first thing they did was take their bikes out to the track in the southern-most part of District 5. Near by stood the dilapidated scattering of small warehouses and shacks that used to serve as storage and living areas for power plant workers. Now the rough crowd including partiers, dropouts, hunters, mechanics and bikers used them to throw illegal "gatherings" and just chill to have a smoke and meet up with old friends.
Today the siblings were simply there to race. And speaking off, Jared nodded to his younger sister that he was ready. One of his old school friends did the honors of counting them down and then it was on. Finally Jaxx let out a deep breath. Nothing compared to that rush of adrenaline and feeling of pure freedom she got from speed. Out of the corner of her eye she saw that she was neck and neck with her brother. Jared noticed too and cranked up the speed after rounding the first turn. Falling behind Jaxx paced herself to ride his tail for several yards before the next bend in the track. Gaining on Jared each tight turn, she knew she could only beat him this time because of her bike's superior manueverability. Any other day Jared could kick her butt in a heartbeat. She wondered for breifly if he was taking it easy. Jaxx finished first by just a hair. Her brother was beaming.
"That's my baby sis," Jared said pulling off his helmet.
"Yeah, not so much of a baby anymore, Jair," she replied but was smiling anyway. Jaxx appreciated the rare praise.
After pulling her own hemet off she asked him, "So how long are you staying this time?"
"Just until the reaping is over."
That was two days from now. Jaxx frowned. He never stayed very long anymore. Hopefully she'd make the most of her time with her oldest brother.

#015 The Ballad of Mona Lisa - Panic! at the Disco
 
Felt like making a quick set this morning. I've been addicted to this song lately and there is so much art you can pull from it.

#014 The Mortician's Daughter - Black Veil Brides
 
Gorgeous song. It leaves me breathless every time I listen to it. I finally read the lyrics along with it and interpreted them. The words are so deep and meaningful to Andy, so beautiful! I felt inspired while listening, so I hit repeat and let it play 24 times while making this set!
 
Please fav and comment, it means a lot! I'll be sure to return the favor :)
 
"The Mortician's Daughter"
 
I open my lungs dear
I sing this song at funerals...no rush.
These lyrics heard a thousand times, just plush.
A baby boy you've held so tightly,
This pain it visits almost nightly
Missing hotel beds, I feel your touch.
 
I will wait dear, a patient of eternity, my crush
A universe so still.
No rust.
No dust will ever grow on this frame,
One million years, I will say your name.
I love you more than I can ever scream.
 
We booked our flight those years ago,
I said I love you as I left you.
Regrets still haunt my hollow head,
But I promised you I will see you again, again.
 
I sit here and smile dear
I smile because I think of you and I blush.
These bleeding hollow dials...this fuss.
A fuss is made of miles and travels
When roadways are but stones and gravel.
A bleeding heart can conquer every crutch.
 
We booked our flight those years ago
you said you loved me as you left me.
Regrets still haunt your saddened head
But I promised you I will see you,
 
We booked our flight those years ago
I said I loved you as I left you
Regrets no longer in my head,
But I promised you and now I'm home again, again, again, again, again, again.
 
I'm home again.

#012 Jar of Hearts - Christina Perri
 
I absolutely love everything about this gorgeous, emotional song. I hope my simple set does it some justice. The lyrics and tone inspired this harsh and cold, but bittersweetly fierce scheme.
 
No, I can't take one more step towards you
‘Cause all that's waiting is regret
Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most
 
I learned to live, half alive
And now you want me one more time
 
[Chorus:]
Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?
 
I hear you're asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms
 
I've learned to live, half alive
And now you want me one more time
 
[Chorus]
 
It took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
‘Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back
You don't get to get me back
 
Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
 
Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
 
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
