Kill or Be Killed [Survival Games Fanfic] [ON HOLD]

[11] Our Song

// AntVenom POV //

I watched Jordan's face closely through the deaths list. ExplodingTNT's death had shocked me. I'd never expected that he'd died because Jordan was trying to protect the helpless. I wasn't sure what I'd originally thought. That he'd murdured in cold blood? The thought made me cringe a little.

As the images faded into the night sky, I stole one last glance at Jordan. He was quietly humming a song, taking in the arena. After a while, I made my way from the branch back up to our small camp. I didn't need help to make the climb anymore. I took one of the bottles from the bag that contained water, and drank some. It was warm from sunlight, and I narrowed my eyes in disgust. I could hear Jordan singing softly nearby. It was to himself, but I couldn't help myself. I slid closer so I could listen without him seeing me.

"Open up my eyes to dreams that should have died,

I was made for more than this. Take away my name,

For I will never be the same. I have not begun to live.

I will be a revolution, be a voice beyond these lies,

If it takes my life. And I will not be lost in silence.

I will not let darkness hide, this hope beyond my sight,

the revolution. A criminal's reward is all that I lived for,

Until these broken years were healed..."

"You have a beautiful voice." I whispered, leaning over the edge to view him sitting on the branch. Then I felt my face flush bright red. Oh God, had I just said that out loud? I stuttered nervously, but my words were swept away when I noticed his smile.

"Thanks, Taylor." he replied. I felt all my nerves ease.
