That's where he was from, the boy I killed. His face illuminates the night sky and my heart sinks into my stomach.
It's not guilt, no.
I don't mourn him.
I mourn the part of me I lost when I severed through every tendon in his neck. I mourn the part of me I lost when his head rolled off his body like the bud from an end of a cigarette. If I close my eyes, I can still hear the thud his head makes as it hits the tavern floor.
My vision goes blurry, and watery, tears prick at the edges of my eyes but they never fall.
I don't let them.
Just blink them away and wipe them from the corners and act like there was just something in my eye. I can't let them see that, my allies, Panem, anyone. Emotions have never been my schtick, push them down far enough and drown them in a couple of shots of whiskey and they're not a problem.
Moral of the story: I'm too sober for this shit.
Cheers to that.
There's a low rumbling in the trees when I wake.
I'm not sure what it is but I wasn't about to take any chances. I push off from the forest floor, grimacing through the pain as my wrapped wounds sear with every movement. Blood seeps through the once stark white bandages Cordelia patched me up with.
Shit, I mouth to myself, careful not to make any sudden sound. The wounds are a problem for another day, we have more demanding things to sort out first.
I wrangle up my axe from the ground, my hand tightly wrapped around the hilt. I nudge Cordelia and Cachi with my foot, a finger pressed to my lips.
"Get the fuck up!"
It's a hushed whisper, but that was enough for whatever creature hid behind the cover of the trees. The creature bursts into the clearing, roaring and I think we're royally fucked. We stepped into the lion's den, both metaphorically and quite literally. Well, a third literally.
"Hey, pussycat. Do me a favor and fuck-" I swing with a huff, "-off."alpha attacks sphink
