How long has it been? One? Two days now? "You should go..." The sound of those words keep echoing in my head so many times. His tone. His words. The way he turned his face away to my kiss. Everything about him has changed just with the loss against that monster. My new foe from the moment I made it clear to him that he needs to be gone from my life. There's nothing else I could do now. I am completely just lost about what I should do. I know I'm not welcomed to be around the hospital as he stated so clearly. I've not heard from Gala, either, so my mood as of late has been nothing but silence. Even my father has taken to noticing my attitude and change of voice. My brother seems to finally catch on a little bit more lately since the pregames has done its job. He's no longer my trainer, but actually starting to become more like a brother to me.

"Kya, where you going?" From behind me, my brother's voice comes out and all he gets as a response is a nod and the door slamming shut to sever any more conversation between us. My direction is void. I have no clue where I'm going, but I have the need to just get out of the house. Once again, the longer I walk, I see the blurred vision in the corner of my eyes of the tears wanting to form when I start thinking about 'him'. I question myself too often about giving it another try, but I'm just not sure if two days will be enough for him to deal with whatever it is that he was going through. I came around that night after Gala had talked some sense into me, however... I sent Gala home to sleep that night so I could stay up with him. A lot of good that did me. I fume and instantly take off running as hard as I can. I know now, where I'm going. I'm going where no one will be able to find me, if for only a little while. I don't care that it's illegal, but right now, I could care less.

"You should go..."

His words penetrate my mind again, echoing his voice all over again, fueling my legs for retribution for what he said. I should go. He never said where I would be going. Where my destination would take me. Now, I made up my mind and the moment I find that part of the fence that we left through, I find myself pushing through the wires as it tears into my shirt and into my skin slightly. I don't stop though. Not until I give in after ten minutes of running and find my breath gone through the cold. The tears that fall are full of heat and anger and sadness. How do I let myself get into these situations? At the next tree, I finally scream out.

"DAMN YOU!" I fall against the tree, letting it poke into my back before I put my face into my drawn up knees.

Mark Antony]/center]

Mark opened his eyes, doing his usual to get ready, but today this consisted of getting his little sister out of bed. Oddly whenever this little girl would get out of bed, she would be up and ready to do almost anything. Even Mark was not that enthusiastic about the day when he awoke. But this showed that she was driven, and what better trait in a child? One day she would probably be something way bigger than Mark could ever imagine. With his teachings and mentoring, she would be an elite strong woman when she grew up.

Finally both of them sat at the table, eating a bowl of soup for breakfast. They were silent until Flavia broke the silence speaking. " Congratulations on your win brother." She said, just remembering hearing about it. Flavia was very excited to bring it up. She probably wants to know all about it, every little detail of Marks fights. Mark explained a bit, not sharing all the grousom gore that was produced from the battles. He showed her his foot, and a few other cuts, then they fell silent again. Again Flavia breaks the silence. " So that girl I met, you ended your fight in three hits? What did she think about that." Mark pauses, trying to shrug it off but Flavia kept pushing to know.

" Look, I wanted it over as fast as possible. I never wanted to step into the arena against that girl. Honestly she thought I was trying to kill her, but really you and I both know if I was going to kill her, then she would be dead." Mark sighs standing and getting his coat on. " Get your bow, and grab mine, I am going to get my swords." Flavia nods and they both meet outside, quickly getting off the streets and out to the woods. Mark was teaching his sister how to fight, and hunt, just in case it would be needed when he was gone. After about an hour of hunting, they have had no luck. Probably because of the cold. So both Flavia and Mark sat down, taking out some bread and two slices of meat and start having lunch. After a few seconds in, a sound fills the air.

"DAMN YOU!" Mark and Flavia jump to their feet, grabbing their bows and aim it in the direction of the noise, both of them slowly advancing towards it. After weaving through a few trees here and there, they come to a familiar face and Mark lowers his bow, speaking. " Please, yelling out here might attract attention to us." Mark pulls Flavia into site, hoping this will discouragement any fighting that she might try to instigate.

My words echo as loud as I can with the frustrations that I am dealing with. Matthew has refused me to be around him. Told me to go. It may have been two days ago, but right now, I'm still fighting with my inner emotions as to what to do. Do I go see him? Do I wait another day? As I sit here, I push hard against the tree, making the rough bark poke into my skin because in truth, I'd rather feel the pain. It gives me this sense of euphoria that makes me feel better. I'm not sure how long I sit there with my face buried into my drawn up knees, but without notice at all, either I didn't hear or I'm deaf to the world, someone's voice calls out to me. I jump. There's noone suppose to be out here. It's illegal. Though, I'm out here.

I raise my head up and my eyes connect first with the guy that has been the cause of all of this. My most recently made foe stands there with his little sister that he brings into view. As much as I shouldn't be worried about the little girl, I've seen what she can do. Just a child, but with her brother there too, it makes me put up a barrier to protect myself from them. I'm on my feet as fast as I can, pushing against the tree with my casted hand.

"Who cares? Your not suppose to be out here. Bringing your kid sister out here, too. What are you, stupid?" I find my voice to be anything but nice toward him. Here he is with weapons and I've got nothing to protect myself. Maybe, Matthew won't have to worry about me, afterall. He can just go back to his simplistic life of hating girls once Mark finishes what he started in the arena. He can just shoot that arrow through my heart like Matthew has done before with his words. I shake my head and take a few steps back away from the tree. I know better than to turn my back on Mark, but will he even try anything with his sister around?

Against my better judgement, I turn my back and push off from the tree to start walking again. He's the last person I want to see right now or to talk to. I secretly wish for my knife to drive into his body, but that can't happen. With a grin, for some reason, I seem to have lost my mind when what I do next surprises even me.

"HUNTERS... HUNTERS!" I scream it out and keep walking. Danger seems to fill that void and right now. I need something to take my mind off of what's going on with me emotionally.

Mark Antony

All Mark can hear is the yelling of Kyanite. Quickly Mark throws his bow to the side walking after her. " Kyanite. Please be quite. Please just listen to me, one last time. I promise, no mean words, no threats, nothing. Ill drop my weapons. I have my little sister here, I dont want her to go down for this, if it was just me, then I would not stop you. But her, she has a full life ahead of her." Mark pleads, taking his sword belt off, tossing it to the side, " Please kyanite." Flavia walks up to Mark and hugs his leg." For her, not for me." Mark looks at her with a look she has never seen, worry maybe, or maybe he was actually scared, but for his life? No, for Flavias? Maybe its hard to tell.

" Or if your going to turn us in, just turn me in... Not her." Mark is practically begging now. " Think about it Kyanite, if you turn us in, you and your family will pay the price too, for you being here also..."

My words does enough to freak Mark out. A sense of fear floods over me when I don't look back after yelling out that there were hunters hanging around out here. Then I hear his footsteps. He's coming after me... run, Ky. Run! I look back for one second to see him dropping his weapons. Even taking the belt off his pants that would act as the thing to hold the sword. He begins with a long line of words to defend himself from my voice; to defend his sister. I shake my head.

"Why would I care? She'll get off scott free. She's young. She could have been brainwashed by you and they'd let her go. It's you that they would only go after." I tell him and then begin to think about me. I shake my head. "Who said anything about turning you in? I just want them to find you out here illegally with a small child and the girl whom you almost killed in the pregames. They've seen how you don't care to hurt others. What cheap shots you may use just to win. It'll be me to win this time. Once they find out that your holding me against my will.. the weapons. It'll be all too easy."

I don't regret my words at all at this moment and I open up my arms. "Well? Just go ahead and hurt me again. It's not like I'll feel it. You've already done enough." I nod my head slightly and take another few steps backwards and once again, I yell out the word one more.

"HUNTERS!"

Mark Antoy

"No Kyanite, you just think I took cheep shots. Know what, she gets caught, they take her. This little girl to some place and they beat her, torcher her, until she does what THEY say." Mark pulls away from Flavia. " Kyanite. Please. Just let her go back." Mark drops to his knees behind her. " I am on my knees begging you. Please, for her sake of her, not for me, not for anyone else. Kyanite. You, your family, they will not believe your story. They have things, that will make you tell the truth, and they will use them on you. " Mark is on his knees, pleading to her. " Kyanite, think. If you turn me in, no more Matthew, no more family, no more Gala. They will cut your tongue out, and send you to the capitol. Think of your family and friends. This will affect them all."

Marks voice is shakey and he trembles. " Kyanite, just think... please." Mark holds back tears. Just thinking about what could happen to his sister is sending him into a state he has not been in for a long while.

"You took cheap shots..." I say under my breath. "Both against me and Matthew... I don't care what you say you did or didn't do." I stop in my tracks. What Mark is saying is true, to say the least. Since when does age matter at all to the capitol? Since when do they care about why they are out there, only that they simply are? I clamp my mouth shut as I see him get on his knees. He's begging? For what? To strike me down in a moments notice I bet. That's the only thing. This is all a trick from him. It has to be. What words he used when we fought adn I severed all ties to him. He isn't living up to his words.

"Here I thought you said you'd kill me if I jepordized your family. If I messed with you or your sister. You don't keep your promises, do you?" I throw that at him. "Besides, I have no one. I've lost them all. It's your fault."

I tell him and hear him as he tells me to think about it. Right now, I am thinking. Thinking that he needs to get out of my life right now. "You're pathetic, Mark. Without the crowd, you are nothing... I knew it. Take your sister and get her out of here." I say and with that, I turn and start running once again even though I've not fully recovered from my first run just yet. The only thing driving me right now is the adrenaline coursing through my veins. The breaths coming in and out of my mouth and nose is labored, choked back by some sobs and I push myself further and deeper into the woods.

Mark Antony

Mark watches as the girl runs off deeper into the woods, and the deeper in the woods you are, the more danger you run into. Mark sighed, telling Flavia to grab the swords and hand them to him as he re equips himself, picking up Flavia, running after Kyanite. Mark is fast and knows the woods so he is able to keep up. " Kyanite, wait." Mark runs into a clearing where Kyanite had run into. " Kyanite, please, just hear me out." Mark is out of breath, setting his sister down. Standing still in the clearing. " It is dangerous here Kya.

My feet dig deep into the snow encrusted ground. Right now, the weather is holding off, though later, the snow is suppose to be coming in to give the world of pamen a snowy appearance. Again and again, I feel my feet pushing from the ground, gaining traction to be able to get away from Mark and his sister. If he knows what's good for him, he'll take her out of these woods and leave me alone. That's when I hear him. He's relentless, only when I look back, I see how he's fully armed once again. The hunt is on. He is the predator.

This is it. He's going to finish what he started.

Without notice, his voice penetrates my ears telling me to wait. I take another few running steps before stopping, my back facing him.

"There's nothing to say. You need to get your little sister out before someone finds her out here. As you said, protect her." He claims this place is dangerous.

"So? Maybe it's my intention to be out here. Though, if you hadn't showed up, I would be closer to the fense right now." I turn around to Mark, anger marring my face as much as the scar on my cheek that's still healing. "Leave me alone, Mark. Go back! Or I swear..."

Mark Antony

Mark listens and nods, not showing any emotion. " Or what, your going to kill me, time is already doing that. Kyanite, I am a REBEL. My family is soon to be REBELS, all you accomplish by killing me is becoming a murder. Kyanite. There is much to say or I would not be trying to talk to you. " Mark sighs, looking at her. " You afraid I am going to hurt you or something, no I am not, I did that once. I am not going to do it again. This is probably gonna be the last time you hear from me or see me. Or the next thing you will see is me being paraded around the capitol, tourchered and half dead because of what I have done, what I am going to do. You say all I care about is glory and myself, your wrong Kyanite. Sure, I will play into a crowd. Having people back you up, or at least me makes me want to accomplish my goal more. I am not joining the rebels to better my life, or my families. I am joining so when I die with the rebels, after the rebels accomplish what they need too, then you, Matthew, Gala, Tyren, Saffron Lowe, Opal Shore, Cricket Antoinette, and all the others scattered around Panem can have a better more fair life. Not one ruled by the oppression of Snow, and the Peacekeepers."

Marks mine speech has Flavia slightly inspired and she continues with her young voice. " And when it is all said and done, the sacrifice we made for all of you will be known, unless we fail. But at least we failed trying to help others." She says pulling out of Marks grasp standing tall on her own." We will shed blood, sweat, tears for the people of Panem, we will stand as one against those who force us to stand alone. We are the liberators, we are united under the banner of the Rebels, We. Are. The Uprising, and WE WILL HELP EVERYONE WHO NEEDS IT!" Flavia is not yelling, more like raising her voice, becoming exited near the end of her little speech. " Love us, hate us, wish us well, or wish us dead. We will stand for you, no matter what. Till death forces us to break that oath."

"I can't beleive you're letting your little sister go through with this Mark. She's what? Five? Six? You've brainwashed the child into your scheme. How dare you? But what you do with your life, I could care less, Mark. Not now. You've done nothing but tear my life up. It's best you shut your mouth and leave me the hell alone. I won't ask you again. You and your little sister, get out of here or I'll scream again. This time, I won't shut up till you get out of my face." I stare at them both harshly and grit my teeth. "If you die... It won't be because your trying to better the people of Panem. It's simply because I wished it upon you. So, go play 'hero'. You'll get no sympathy from me."

I take my first step towards Mark then push past him going back in the direction of where I just ran from. I've no more energy to run now. I'm satisified with what words I left him. If he don't leave me alone now, I will use force against him. For some reason, I'm craving some emotional support, but who do I turn to? Matthew's stil in the hospital. Gala's somewhere? Who else do I turn to? Jeran... please be home. I've set my destination and on my way I go without looking back to the pair of eyes staring me down.
