I Just Want You To Know || Gidley || Night One

"Come on Harlot, we both know you don’t believe in love." I tease back. "Buuuut….. in the context of equating love as caring deeply for someone and their well being then I suppose, under those circumstances, I could in fact and irrefutably give such a name to this emotion that I am currently feeling as it could be called, love." So I’m almost one hundred percent sure I used half of those words wrong.

I roll my eyes and nudge him in the side with my elbow. "I don't and yet here you are," I pout. "It's still such a foreign concept to me, but it feels right with you," I frown.

His answer makes me roll my eyes again. "Now you're just being ridiculous," I laugh. "I'm still wearing the ring, you know," I say more seriously. "It'd be a shame if I lost it," I threaten playfully.

I ponder her question for a moment, thinking back to all I knew about the other tributes. “Unless a lot happened when I wasn’t looking I’d assume we’re the largest group. Four in the Hunger Games is pretty big, especially for a non career pack.”

A lump forms in my throat when she spoke about how quickly things can change and I try to swallow it down. “That’s what I’m worried about.” I breath back to her. Marcus and Quinn had almost caught back up to us at this point.

I sigh, not wanting to talk about this anymore. "We'll deal with it when we get there." I catch his drift and squeeze his hand reassuringly. "It'll be fine."

Wanting to change topics, I jump to a lighter subject.

"So," I start with a mischievous smile. "You were saying something earlier before the Fallen started playing. Something about love or something?" I tease.

I Just Want You To Know || Gidley || Night One

"With four of us and no permanent shelter I’m afraid that might be a little hard to do right now." And that was the truth. We were bound to run into someone or be hunter by someone sooner or later. "Let’s just hope our numbers deter anyone from coming after us, even if Quinn and Liu have something going on." At this point who didn’t Quinn have something going on with? "What do you think our best plan is right now? Obviously we need to find shelter because I’m not too keen on fucking freezing to death. But after that? We can’t just sit around and wait for the Game Makers to send something to kill us.

I groan in frustration. "Think we're the biggest alliance in here?" I ask with a raised eyebrow. Even I had to admit, we were a large group considering that we weren't a Career pack. "Let's just focus on finding shelter," I say with a shiver as the Fallen ends softly. "And don't have too much expectations," I breathed. "Everything can change in a manner of seconds. Come on, let's keep walking." I wave over to Quinn and Marcus, signalling to keep walking.

Next comes the girl from Ten, the one who managed to kill Xerxes before being slaughtered by Liucija. I nod at Harley’s comment, knowing Shea had no place being in the middle of all of those careers but people do strange things. “Unfortunately it’s not stopping any time soon.” Lastly comes Adrian, another casualty by Liu’s hand. “Six dead, one third of those by Liucija alone. Two of them careers too.” I mutter, finally taking my eyes off of the sky. “Let’s just hope our allies haven’t done anything to piss her off because I’d prefer not meeting up with her in the arena.

I recall my interactions with Liucija, sleeping with her, but I know that won't mean anything if she saw us. She wouldn't bat an eyelash at all if she tried to kill us. "I remember her telling me that she doesn't like Quinn," I whisper to Gideon, keeping my comment out of earshot from my sister. "We should just do our best to avoid people," I sigh, knowing full well that Quinn just wants to spill blood right now.

I Just Want You To Know || Gidley || Night One

The first face shown was that of a boy I’d never met though I knew he was the career from Two. A career dying already let alone one with such a high score? At least I knew I wouldn’t have competition for the sponsor anymore. The next death took me even more by surprise and I found myself at a loss for words. Leif’s face stared back down at me and I watched as the boy from Two killed him without a weapon. The sight was gruesome, and I had trouble watching. Despite Leif being a career he’d seemed a pretty down to earth guy when I’d met him in training. I said a silent prayer for his family as his face faded away to darkness.

"Two male careers gone already." I whisper to Harley, neither of us taking our eyes away from the sky. Leif was followed by another boy I’d never met, the mentally unstable one and then by Thimble. I shuddered as I remembered the boy dropping from his platform only to be blown up by the mines right beside me.

I shudder when I see stop moving, the stillness of his body so foreign to me. When the screen shows Shea, I'm taken aback. The girl was such a sweetheart, but I see that she was just at the wrong place at the wrong time, an outlier caught in a fight of the Careers. From what it seems, Shea and Leif may have been a couple, and it makes me think once more about what would happen to Gideon and me. "She didn't deserve to die," I whisper about Shea. "None of them do," I sigh. By the time it reaches Twelve, I've noticed Liucija being in the midst of a lot of bloodshed. I knew she was a Career and a damn good one, but now I'm wondering how much of a threat she really is now.

I Just Want You To Know || Gidley || Night One

"Teach me your ways oh heartless one." I smirk as I tickle her ribs a little bit knowing I’d probably regret that. "Or maybe it’s Quin I need to be taking advice from. But I don’t want to be monsters like them. That’s what sets us apart, the feeling. I don’t even want to not feel." A frown replaces the previous cheeky smile on my lips.

My face lights up bright red as she realizes before I do what I had just said. “Did I? I guess I did. Well there’s no going back now Har.” I could feel the heat emanating from my face but before I could say anything else I was cut off by the blaring Capitol anthem.

I jump a bit and let out a small squeal when he tickles me. "You're such a jerk," I shout as I try to distance myself from his fingers. "Well, you try to stop caring but you lose so much of yourself along the way," I frown. But when Gideon's playful smile morphs until a frown, I reach my hand out onto his cheek. "It'll be okay," I say, trying to convince both him and myself.

Suddenly, Gideon turns crimson and I can't help but laugh. "No, no!" I exclaim. "You're not getting out of this one that easily!" I squeal. "Do you really?" I ask a little more seriously this time. But soon, the Capitol anthem plays and we all turn our heads up for the Fallen.

Everything blurs by as I try to focus. I remember seeing faces of boys I've never met, Emilio, whom I found to be an odd fellow. I couldn't help but tense up when I saw the frigid blonde bitch easily kill off an innocent boy. But the following face surprises me. A Career? Dying? Already? When I had met Leif, he was so confident, and I made a mental note to keep an eye out for him. His death was shocking as he grappled with what I presume to be another Career. "What the hell," I mutter under my breath as the screen just continues showing how Leif was murdered. It was disturbing to watch, an innocent person dying, but I couldn't pull my eyes away.

I laugh slowly at her comment. “Funny how in the games a comment like I’d rather someone else kill us off, sounds perfectly reasonable. I know none of this is easy for you Har, it’s not easy for me either.” I looked back over my shoulder to check on the other two, still walking a comfortable distance away from us.

"It’s just I love you and I’m trying to protect you as best as I can and if that means making sure you’re ready to do what you need to do in the event that I’m not around later then that’s what I have to do." I don’t think I even realized what words had slipped out of my mouth.

I stay silent, fully understanding the grimness of his statement. We'd be dead anyways, but we still care who and how it would be done. "Maybe it'd be easier if we all had no hearts, huh?" I chuckle lightly. "Maybe like the Careers who can kill so easily without a nagging conscience," I frown. Perhaps, even I was halfway there being the girl with no heart.

It takes me a few seconds to register what he says. My attention strikes up and I stare straight at him. "What... what did you say?" I ask quietly. "You love me?" I ask lightly with a small smile. "And you will be here. I will do my best to keep us together," I frown sadly. A few days ago, Gideon was a stranger to me, and now, I don't want to see him disappearing from my life.

I Just Want You To Know || Gidley || Night One

It was plain as day this topic made her incredibly uncomfortable and frankly it was pretty far from my favourite thing to talk about as well. “Let’s agree to drop it and figure it out later, because frankly I’d rather not make that choice at all.” I gave her a small smile.

"But when the time comes do you think you could..?" I trail off, gesturing towards the two trailing behind us so as to not arouse suspicions. "Not now of course because we need them. But could you? I know you guys fought earlier but you seem to actually be getting along now. I don’t want some career taking this away from us, I don’t care if she’s your sister or not."

This topic is as touchy for me as it is for Gideon, and I was more than thankful when he dropped it, but the uncomfortable feeling came back when he brought up Quinn.

"She's my sister," I frown. "But when it comes down to it, she probably wouldn't hesitate to get rid of us," I sigh. This was so complicated. "If we even get there," I tell Gideon. I'd rather someone else kill us off than us killing each other.

We are W I L D; we are like YOUNG VOLCANOES.

I Just Want You To Know || Gidley || Night One

Holding my other gloved hand to my chest I faked a sniffle. “Me? A jerk?” I cry “How dare you miss!” The two of us laugh together softly as we trudge through the snow. Laughter seems to make everything a little less bleak, a little less like any day now we’re going to meet our demise.

I stop at her mention of putting my before her, something I’d never once in the time that I’d known Harley seen her do. Though there’s no way I can know for sure if she’s being sincere or not, there’s something about the way she said it, so openly and honest giving me no choice but to believe her. “You can’t mean that Harley, your folks need you. I’ve been dead to mine for almost a year now.” I sighed, knowing she’d try to fight me on this. “Besides, what about all the crap about making sure there’s equality with the lumberjacks and proving that you’re more than just the harlot from Seven?” I could hear the pain creeping into my voice as I got worked up trying to shoot Harley’s idea down. “You’ll never be able to fix your family if you don’t go home Har.”

I roll my eyes and lightly hit him on his chest with the back of my hand.

I knew he was going to do this and this conversation was bound to happen. "Do you really want to do this?" I groan softly as I completely turn my bod to him. Of course, I want to go home; nobody actually really wants to die. "And, of course, I still strongly believe in equality and tearing apart gender roles," I chuckle softly, happy that he remembers that about me. "And my mom has my brothers who are more than capable to care for her," I say truthfully but hurt by the honesty in that statement. "And if you go home, you can carry on my strive for equality," I tease him, my tone subtly laced with sadness.

I Just Want You To Know || Gidley || Night One

"Harley harlot just has such a nice ring to it though." I chuckled wondering just how people back in Seven would be reacting to this right now. "Well in that case I’m kind of glad I was so desperate for the company that I even stayed with you." I teased giving her hand a playful squeeze.

Despite the space blanket the cold still attacks our exposed skin and I give a little sneeze. “Only thankfully home never gets this cold.” My eyes followed her gaze up to the sky above, a dark and stormy grey. “Harley?” I started, her eyes trailing back down to meet mine. “How badly do you want to win this?”

I nudge him playfully and roll my eyes. "You're just being a jerk now," I laugh as he continues teasing me. "Besides, you're good company," I shrug. We continue moving forward, maintaining our distance from Quinn and Marcus. I never would have pegged them two together, but then again, I also never pegged that I would like Gideon so much.

I let out a laugh. "And I thought winter at home was cold. Working in the snow really sucks." Thinking about home makes me miss it even more. When he calls my name, I face him. "Of course I want to go home so, so badly," I say before pausing. "But I also want you to go home, if it gets down to just us two, you should probably go home. I mean, my father's messed up my family and I have a shitty reputation already," I laugh dryly. "You have so much more potential than I do," I shrug.

I Just Want You To Know || Gidley || Night One

"Well that of course." I smiled at her joke. "But no, I meant that after everything you chose me. Girl with no heart." Laughing a little as the silence fell on us. Quinn and Marcus were a little ways away caught in their own stuff so for a moment it seemed as though we were in our own little world.

"If we weren’t in the arena right now this could be pretty perfect." I let out as sigh, knowing that there was no situation where this would turn out alright for us. Like we’d said from the moment we got to the Capitol, Seven was going to have a victor this year.

"Girl with no heart," I repeat, letting the words play on my lips. "Well, that certainly sounds better than harlot," I chuckle, swinging his arm a little. I muse over his question and wonder the same thing. "Because you didn't judge me immediately like everyone else does," I shrug. "You actually got to know me and you stayed."

I nod. "Almost could feel like home, huh?" I look overhead, the sky barely peeking through the branches and trees. "If only we could see the stars again," I chuckle, reminding myself of our first date not too long ago.
