Led by Rhys they emerged into a stark white world. The contrast from the dusty mines to the frostbitten air and painful light brought Garnet to his knees. He took slow, shuddering breaths, trying to divide the sharp air entering from the mine dust leaving. His whole body ached as the adrenaline ebbed. Not just from the falling rocks and collapsing mines but from something else.
From the pushing and the shoving and the threat of more to come.
Garnet shivered with something darker than cold.
The other alliance had been just some other kids a few days ago. Intended tributes, yes, but just... kids. And now he'd seen something else in their eyes, felt as though he'd come prey in their hands. He was certain they would actually kill him if they saw each other again.
A despairing moan escaped him just as the sound of hooves and carriage wheels turned over the crisp snow.
Garnet's head snapped up. "Velvet!" He shouted, heedless. And then, grabbing onto Jericho to pull himself up, "here, fella! Come rescue us!"
