"Soon enough you'll be on your own
Steady and straight
And if they drag you through the mud
It doesn't change what's in your blood"
~“Sarina -” The words fell from my lips in a hushed tone as we left their bodies and our ally behind. River heeded my warning and I wouldn’t hesitate to have launched another arrow at her without remorse. She may have acted out of something sympathetic towards her district, but she completely disregarded that she went after Sarina’s district partner and more importantly, her brother. The cowardice in her heart to just completely rid him of one more sunset and one more anthem was stolen.
I hated her.
I couldn’t care less how she died at this point except for me wanting to be the one to take her down. Alfonso didn’t deserve that and there was nothing I could do to stop her. If only that tribute hadn’t pierced my stomach with the sword. If only I had been faster to dodge it, I could have stood up to her and kept her from killing him.
“Sarina, I’m sorry about your brother. I tried to stop River.” It was an awful start to an apology, but it wouldn’t matter now. I apologized to Alfonso too before we left him behind with Xavier to be taken back to their homes. My words fell on dead ears that couldn’t accept or deny my heart’s somber mess.
After a while, I gripped my stomach and doubled over. “I can’t keep going, Sarina.” I leaned against a pineapple tree for stability and glanced up at the tree's treasures. “I was so excited to be here. Now I could care less.”~
