#withguilt

abilene could feel the jagged points of the black porous rocks that made up the ground press indentations into her skin through her wet suit as she was slammed against the ground . abilene couldn't swim well , though with the help of the odd belts all the tributes wore she was able to make it to the rocks with a few of the final wave of tributes . the other tribute on her wedge swam better than she did and had her pinned against the rocky pathway leading from the cornucopia to the jungle .

the back of her head hit the rocks again and the world was spinning . she kicked the tribute as hard as she could and felt him finally release her , though when she opened her eyes she saw the true reason why . an arrow lodged in his throat , the water turning red . abilene's head was pounding when she looked up to a hand outstretched to her .

we have to go before they kill us . they will kill us . abilene hesitated for a moment , green eyes flicking between the outstretched hand and the group of careers who were working to take control of the cornucopia . they will kill us , abilene thought again and took the hand .

she allowed finnick to pull her up to the rocks as the world shifted again . her head was pounding , and she couldn't tell if the warm trickle of liquid down the back of her neck was from sweat or some sort of wound from where her head had connected with the rock . the group of five ran through the jungle for what felt like ages , mags on finnick's back , until after peeta had nearly died from some sort of force field that the group finally set up camp .

abilene's eyes followed finnick while she tried to think of anything to say . the world had stopped spinning for the moment but it took her words a few seconds longer to reach her mouth than she was used to . she watched mags begin to weave mats from tall reeds they had found , finnick beside her , and itching for something to do abilene's hands were clumsily attempting to follow their lead .

 i hate you. / kyo @ yuki

It wasn't like this was a surprise to Yuki. He always knew how Kyo felt about him. But the other continuing to say it didn't make it any better. I just caused Yuki to roll his eyes at this point. It's not like he needed to be reminded all the time of how much Kyo didn't like him. Even he didn't have any heart burn over Kyo, not really anyway. He only pretended like he was hating on the other since the cat always insisted that he hates him.

"I know, you tell me all the time." Yuki glances at him rolling his eyes again. It's not like they had to be in the same room of the house, but here they were. "You could go somewhere else you know?" Yuki tells him. He was waiting on Kakeru to get here anyway. And he didn't really want to be bothered by Kyo the whole time.

Drogon had hissed in his cage during their training, and his mother had dropped the arakh just a little too clumsily at the sound. This sort of carelessness did not befit her, and inwardly she berated herself most severely for making such a display and leaving her people worried about her, when most of them needed a lot more tending than she did. The weapon had left an ugly cut from her thigh to her knee, but she bore it with stoic dignity. The dragon does not weep, she reminded herself. The dragon does not act like a fool, either, her mind retorted, ashamed and irritated. The blood poured freely down her leg, but she remained standing until Drogo rushed to take her in his arms. The wound burned at a mere touch from the wind. Dany hissed through her teeth, but her face was brave and strong when their eyes met.

not a sound comes out of her as she sips on her tea, dark hues rolling at the sight of him. kate cannot wait to leave aubrey hall and go back to lady danbury's. ❝ good morning to you as well, my lord. ❞
