Kylo woke the next morning to the sound of screams. He sat up, his heart rate heightened as he heard a familiar female voice screaming. Slowly, Kylo emerged from the bush that he had hidden in throughout the night, trying to get an understanding of the situation."Kylo run!" Rue's voice called from above him, "Go Kylo, run!"
He looked around, the echoing screams causing disorientation in his mind. His brown eyes searched frantically around the area that the Careers had been in. Kylo narrowed his eyes when he saw large, black, insects flying frantically around the area, the Careers, Mallory, and Peeta swatting away at the bugs.
"Kylo run!" Rue's somewhat quiet voice urged again.
As he watched Glimmer fall to the floor, her screams echoing the vicinity, he felt his heart drop. Everyone had left her and sprinted in opposite directions as she writhed in pain on the dirty ground. It wasn't until the sound of a cannon boomed, that he snapped to his reality and began to run in the direction of the river.
He wasn't sure what the bugs were, but he had seen them before. If he remembered correctly, their venom did... something to the person attacked.
As Kylo ran, he felt the water from the night before threaten to come up. Every time he blinked, his eyelids filled with the sight of Glimmer writhing, screaming, begging for Cato to stay with her as the insects attacked. The sight of her swollen face and contorted body was in his vision everytime he took a step.
Kylo stopped for a moment to catch his breath, the lack of food in his stomach getting to his head. The boy doubled over, breathing heavily as he looked around, scanning to see if anyone had followed his direction.
When Kylo heard a faint crack from behind him, he was on his feet. He scanned the area, looking for the source of the noise. Slowly, he began to back away, his steps making little to no sound.
"Kylo?" He suddenly heard.
Relief filled the teen's veins when he saw the familiar blond boy from District Twelve. Hastily, Kylo rushed towards the boy and felt Peeta wrap his arms around him. They held each other for several seconds before they leaned back, looking at one another. Kylo's eyes wandered from Peeta's eyes to his lips. He stared for a moment before instinctively backing away, the lingering thoughts of the cameras in the arena filling his mind.
"You're alive." Peeta said in a thankful sigh, "I've been so worried. I've been looking for you since the first day."
Something snapped in Kylo as he remembered seeing the boy with the Career tributes.
"Where's your allies?" Kylo asked in a somewhat cool tone.
Peeta's face faltered at the boys words, "Kylo... I can explain-"
"Explain how you've been with the Careers? How you chased Katniss up that tree when she was hurt?"
"You were there?" Peeta asked him shocked, "Kylo, I was doing it to protect-"
