Chapter VI

The Games PT 3

The next day, as they were hunting, it was announced that two tributes from the same District can win, could be them or District 7, Sendak and Zethrid.

They see Zethrid in a distance, and she runs at them. They run as far as they could before she throws a spear and Keith, he jumps to dodge it, but it hits his ankle, making him fall. He picks it up and throws it to Lance.

Zethrid comes and grabs him by the front of his shirt, lifting him above ground. She punches him in the jaw, dropping him in the process. She picks him up so he's just barely able to reach the ground.

She punches him repeatedly before Lance comes behind her and stabs her in the back with the spear. She cries out in pain before dropping Keith and hitting Lance. 

Keith grabs one of his knives and throws it at the back of her neck, followed by one in the back of her knee, making her fall. Lance gets up and rips them out before stabbing her in each eye. A canon goes off as she drops dead. 

Lance rips them out and runs to Keith. "Keith! Keith, are you okay?" He asks as Keith sits up. Lance rummages through the bag when a small package falls. He opens it. Inside is some rubbing alcohol and bread. "Try to sell the act, be more... gay" signed, Allura. 

They climb a tree and Lance fixes Keith's fucked up face. He has a black, bloodied nose, and multiple bruises and cuts all over. They share the bread and cuddle. Another note flies to them. "By 'be more gay', she meant kiss, not like with the homies." signed, Shiro. 

Lance laughs and Keith blushes. "Ever kissed anyone?" Lance asks. "Do I look like I've ever kissed someone?" Keith replies. "I mean, yeah, but I haven't either so," Lance shrugs. 

"Wait, you've never kissed anyone? You're Lance! The charming, obnoxious flirt!" Keith exclaims. "You think I'm charming?"Lance asks as Keith's face flushes.

"Whatever! Let's just get this over with!" Keith shouts. Lance sits in front of him and puckers his lips. Keith blushes but does the same, leaning in. Lance smirks and giggles.

At this point, Keith is just fed up, so he grabs the front of Lance's shirt and pulls him in, connecting their lips. Lance was caught completely off guard but put his arms around Keith's neck.

When Keith pulled away, Lance's face was completely flushed. "Wha-?" Kieth started. "Where did you learn that?!" Lance quietly yells, leaning over Keith. He gently pushes Lance down. 

"I dunno, can we go to sleep?" Keith whines. He cuddles up on Lance and quickly falls asleep, small snores filling the silence, leaving Lance a blushy mess.

The couple awakes to someone yelling their names. Sendak. They pack up, climb down and run. As the drop, Lance trips, making a noise. "Here you are!" Sendak yelled, followed by the sound of sticks getting crushed.

Lance scrambles to his feet and keeps running. They find a thick tree and climb it, hoping to lose Sendak, but he sees them and waits for them to come down. 

They wait for a while went hey hear buzzing. A Tracker Jacker nest is spotted above them. Keith takes out his knife and climbs up to it. He drags the knife back and forth, cutting the branch it was on.

He receives a few stings on his hand, arm, and neck, but manages to cut it loose, dropping it on Sendak. In a panic, Sendak stands up and runs, calling fro Zarkon, must be an alliance.

Lance shoots him with an arrow and he drops. A canon fires and Sendak is dead, leaving only them and Zarkon.

Keith smiles before his vision gets hazy and he falls, just to be caught by Lance. "Woah, Keith are you okay?" Lance asks. Keith nods before his vision is gone and he's un-conscience.

When he awakes, he's in a cave with the blanket over him and Lance singing something in Spanish. He has leaves on his hand, arm, and neck. "Lance?" He says in a husky voice. Lance looks over and rushes to him.

"Keith! You're awake!" He exclaims, kissing Keith's forehead. "Feeling better?" He asks. "What happened? What are these?" Keith questions.

"You were stung multiple times but the Tracker Jackers, but we killed Sendak," Lance explains. "The leaves are from a nice little girl in 11, she was killed" He continues, on the verge of tears. 

"Oh, I'm sorry," Keith softly says. "It's not your fault. I should've protected her, she was only twelve," Lance replies as a salty tear runs down the side of his face. 

Keith puts his arms around Lance and pulls him into a hug as he cries. "She asked me to sing," Lance quietly says. At this moment, Keith is unsure of what to do, but he makes up his mind soon enough.

"Are you, are you," Keith starts. "coming to the tree, they strung up a man, they say who murdered three," 

He's singing 'Hanging Tree', one the only remembers from his childhood, or the only thing he wants to remember.

Keith hasn't sung since he was little. He remembers his Mother and Father singing him to sleep. In the middle of the night, there was a crash and his father ran to him and took him out of the house. It was on fire and his Father rushed back inside to get his Mother. They never came out, but only his Father's body remained.
