A terror. That's what I've always been told the Games are, and I don't doubt it. Although I've never known anyone who's had to experience them, I'd seen them unfold on the television screen, and they are utterly terrifying. I never thought I'd be the one who had to fight in them next, but unfortunately, that seems to be the case, and the mere thought makes my body tremor.
Stopping those tremors was necessary, however, as I had to bring honor to my family and my District. I couldn't let people, especially not the other tributes, think that I was weak, or see anything that they may be able to do to take me down and out. I'd shown a strong side to Cinder, as it was needed. She was only twelve years old, and was ready to volunteer for me but I wouldn't let her. She needed to see that strong side so that she could be confident in me and know I would be safe. I didn't cry in front of my parents, either. I had to stay strong. I wouldn't let the tears show in front of Belle, and now that Merida entered the room, she didn't get to see tears, either. I had to be sure of it.
To be entirely honest, I sort-of had a thing for Merida, but I don't think that she was even aware that I was gay. Belle had been the only one I'd ever shared that information with. Maybe now was the time to tell Merida. I couldn't let it go unknown that I cared so much for her, especially if I never was going to see her again. This could be our very last time face to face with one another, so I needed to make it mean something.
When Merida entered the room, I gave her a smile to show that I was strong. I couldn't show that I was scared. That just wasn't an option. Therefore, I spoke to her immediately after she closed the door.
"Merida, we don't have much time, okay? I need to tell you something important."
