King of Nothing (Cato)

"Says"

Blood. Blood was pouring out of him. The wave of mass destruction had hit moments earlier. Everett and Nemo were already gone doing something else for the day, since their mother and father told them to do something, but Enzo was the unlucky one. Home alone, studying the books of strategy and knowledge on his own. The knowledge absorbing into his brain through his eyes made him feel complete, but luck had something different in mind for him. The wave had torn the house to rubble. Enzo in the building alone. The walls tore themselves and ripped open like a wound on the stomach. Enzo could imagine the blood that'd pour from the wound. The walls had opened wide, the alarms blaring in the background. The boy's body being pushed out through the opening at the front. The water swishing around his body, scratches of rubble as it passes. A shriek of pain from Enzo and then it was dark.

The wave was gone. The damage left done across the land. The death could be seen across the land. Enzo's eyes watched the damage that was left behind. The District Four career laid among the rubble, cut up and bruised. Blood was slowly flowing out of his wounds, but he'd live. Enzo wouldn't go down that easily to anything. His body ached, but he needed to move. Move. His body gave a push and soon enough the Krearns boy was up and moving. The memory of the pain behind him. The rubble was everywhere his eyes could see. The destruction was vast and terrible. The wave had taken out everything in it's way. The blood of the people drenched the land in front of him. The destruction reminding him of the way tributes killing each other. The blood of the twenty three tributes on the arena's ground. The blood of their deaths on each other's hands. The blood of everyone held onto the victor's hands and Enzo could imagine all the blood that would be shed if he was put in himself.

Eyes get caught on an object. The sun shining brightly on the object that was sitting on the top of some rubble. A boat that clearly reminds him of a memory in the past. Years before Enzo could even remember Mason and Jay. A boat that was a piece of his own family tree. A body that once belonged to the ocean to flow freely where it belonged, but the storm has brought it back years later. Enzo's eyes widened as he saw the boat that held Mason's body, the once color filled boat was dull from the years on the ocean. Broken pieces of wood that had splintered off from the boat lay rotting next to it. His body was moving forward. The rubble moving away from his feet as he pushes towards the boat. The world around him feels like it's spinning. The emotions that were hidden behind that one memory of his cousin being sent off in a boat comes falling back down onto the younger Krearns. The air felt hard to breathe as dust began flowing into the air from the rubble on the ground. Lungs pulling in the dust and making the body cough out.

Enzo felt like he was floating. The world was out to get him and break him apart. The feeling of red hot pain flowing through his body as he climbed the pile to reach the goal, the one thing that he needed to make sure was okay. Enzo couldn't fail them. Enzo couldn't fail Jay or Mason, even if he wanted to. This was his past and it needed to be right in the end. Someith, Jay, and Mason may be dead, but their souls were at peace. Mason had to be safe from being interrupted by a tsunami. The boy pushed and pushed his way up, until the world had it in for him. A slip of his feet and that's when he was floating. Mason needed Enzo, but nothing ever went right for him. Enzo was falling and falling fast. The ground was close and he knew what was next.

The impact was much more worse than he had anticipated. A loud crack comes from his lower leg. Pain shifts to it quickly and Enzo screams. Tears that he had never known he had began falling. Enzo had broken something, the snap was a clear give away, but yet he still tried to move. His thoughts flowing quickly to him, "Someith could get to the boat in this condition", but Enzo wasn't Someith. "Jay could get to the boat for sure", but he wasn't Jay. Enzo was his own being and couldn't make it. The Krearns boy knew that. His fist comes down hard and a strangled cry comes from him. Enzo failed and it was his own fault. Anger flowed through his blood and he hated himself for it.

The air felt clouded, yet free. The sky looked so normal for a tsunami that had happened only a while ago. The world hated him and Enzo swore to ripred. All he wanted was for the red hot pain to relax just for a second. His leg felt on fire and it was just painful for him. It felt like hours had already passed. Frustration and anger of the situation before fill him full. Everything was so peaceful, yet Enzo couldn't be like the things around him. Enzo was a hot headed man and all he wanted was to save the one good thing about the Krearns. Peace in the end. The rubble began to move to the side of him. A sign of help to come. Enzo was going to speak out loud and thank his savior, but that's when his eyes saw the one person he didn't need to see. Harbinger Rhodes.

Harbinger was nothing but a mess. A giant compared to Enzo, but an easy target for a knife, yet Someith, the king, couldn't hit him. Harbinger Rhodes was nothing to Enzo. Anger that already was in his system grew even more. Venom spilled from his lips as he spoke, "Out of everyone to find me, it just had to be you, huh?" Harbinger Rhodes had found him in the one way Enzo didn't want anyone to find him. Enzo was showing his weakness to the one person that shouldn't see him His eyes moved from Harbinger to the boat above him and then back to Harbinger. The king of nothing as Enzo would call Harbinger was in front of him. The world was out to get him that day and Enzo couldn't do nothing about it. A glare forming across his face trying to hide the pain of his leg that was clearly broken. Harbinger Rhodes couldn't see his weakness. Enzo Krearns was a failure, but not as much of one as Harbinger was. Peace was never going to come to Enzo Krearns. Enzo Krearns was better. Enzo Krearns was strong. Enzo Krearns was weak. Enzo Krearns is a Krearns.
