Fingers frozen like the snow on the ground feel numb to me. I scraped against the ground with my bare hands repetitively until I was satisfied with the depth that I was going to have to bury Gilly in. My heart was aching so bad with every stolen glance at her frozen state. She was so full of life not too long ago and when we woke up as a trio. Her smile seemed to somehow break through the dismal pain of her companions death. She was never going to live through the games and I knew that but I never expected them to strike her down like that. I never expected to see it happen. I didn't want to see it.
If I could do it over again, I'd stand in front of her in a heartbeat.
Heart beat...
Heart...
Her heart was shattered with the blade and broke her life away from the real world. It tore away the very breath that she needed. It calmed her muscles and she fell into the snow and I tried to coddle her. I whisked her away as a gentleman should to protect her from further harm should the others have taken advantage of her dying form. Instead - she died in my arms. At least in the end, I can vouch that she didn't die alone. She died with me and Bella at her side. She died with friends that tried to keep her safe but failed in the end.
No one is safe in the hunger games though. Not a single one of us.
Not even a little girl at the age of twelve.
The fire in front of me had barely began to flicker when I looked to Bella and for once, my lips parted with a sigh. My fingers ached so bad with a need for heat. My eyes felt wet yet frozen at the same time. "Thank you for the fire, Bella." I tell her, whispered in a lower tone of depression that my heart didn't want to escape from.
The hue of heat came slowly but with every crackle and pop I could feel the heat wanting to dance upon my skin. So, I reached my hands out, shaking, and took the heat for myself. I sniffle at my running nose from the tears that couldn't fall. The sorrowful look on my face finally lifted up when the numbness started to go away.
"I'm going to stay here... with Gilly, Bella." I confess. "I don't want to leave her alone. You don't have to stay though."
I hold the canister of water near the open flames, willing it to warm up just a little so when I drink it, it might offer just a little bit of warmth for the night. "What do you think will happen now? Between us? You've been such as asset to me and I don't want to see anything to happen to you. You're the best thing to happen to me these games."
Notes/Actions: Is sadness taking over?
