Today he is very thoughtful and writes down his thoughts.

"First, we should go back to the cabin by the lake, because there would be some bandages in there. Then, once we've taken care of you, we'll think about the next step."

He carefully lowered his weapon and moved closer to her. His ice-blue eyes were focused on her, not wanting her to think of running away again. It would be pointless. Coriolanus Snow knew that his Lucy Gray was a fighter, but she wouldn't get far without help.

The Capitol boy had finally caught up with his colorful rainbow bird. He could easily tell from her breathing that she was in pain. Somehow he wanted to alleviate her suffering, but he didn't know how. He was also responsible for some things, but he didn't want to hear that right now.

Rapidly, the hope was draining from her chest, but her fighting spirit was a little harder to ditch. She knew this feeling. She'd felt it when the Games started. She'd felt it in the vents when escaping Coral and Treech. She'd felt it when she had rainbow snakes slithering along the +

Whose fault was it in the end? Coriolanus didn't even want to begin to admit to himself that he could be the burning issue. A lot had changed between him and his songbird, but would they ever be able to get back together? As we all know, that hope died last if you didn't try.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed another figure trying to escape from him. It could only be Lucy Gray!

"I know, I know... It was my fault, apparently, but..."

She could run again, potentially weave through a path and lose him in the trees. He was close enough now that she was losing that advantage fast, now or never. She made her move, darting towards the chosen destination. But she only got a few paces out before catching herself on a thin tree trunk +

Coriolanus Snow @sncwrebel.bsky.social · Jan 21

He came closer to her and he could feel it, because her voice became clearer and clearer. However, it had a somewhat angry undertone, as Lucy Gray had nothing but her safety in mind, which was understandable.

Coriolanus had become unpredictable and dangerous, his words hardly meant anything, or perhaps they did? The game of cat and mouse went on for a while until he answered her.

"Yes, I wanted to leave, but I can't leave you here. I know you know your way around, but you'll die here. Understand that."

Why couldn't one thing be easy? Lucy Gray believed in the stars, but all they spelled was cosmic bad luck. Coriolanus had already played her savior once, and did quite the job of it. It wasn't easy to gain her trust, but he'd made quick work of it +

"There's no way you can manage out here on your own! I'm not asking you anymore but demanding it, come out of hiding! We can talk about it if something unforeseen happens! Your injuries..."

Coriolanus tried to reassure Lucy Gray and convince her that he was her only salvation.

He, who had done this cruel deed to her. Surely he wouldn't k*ll her, even if he had tried once before, unintentionally, but there was no medical care out here.

Lucy Gray grit her teeth, trying to fight off the dizziness. The last thing she needed was to pass out. There was no telling where she'd wake up-- if she'd wake up. Maybe all Coriolanus gave chase for was to finish the job.

"I'll do just fine on my own," She said, her +

Coriolanus Snow @sncwrebel.bsky.social · Jan 20

He heard her voice from a distance. A familiar, sweet voice that currently sounded a little anxious and uncertain. Why should he turn back and just leave her here with her injuries? Surely he was nothing more to her than an animal trying to chase her until he finally got her.

Coriolanus Snow @sncwrebel.bsky.social · Jan 20

What would the end look like? Coriolanus walked a little faster, trying to win Lucy Gray over to his flying songbird once more.

"No. You know I can't do that, Lucy Gray! You need me as much as I need you, or you'll never survive. Come out of hiding, we could start all over again."

No one could put up a fight like Lucy Gray. But she wasn't immune to blood loss, nor the fatigue that was settling into her body, even with the adrenaline humming in her veins. A wave of dizziness shook her world, and she looked to her shoulder again. She couldn't keep running, +

His words echoed through the forest again; he was still unable to reach her. Of course she was the winner of the tenth Hunger Games and a survivor, but with a wound like that she couldn't get far enough away from him.

Coriolanus Snow @sncwrebel.bsky.social · Jan 20

The trust in each other was broken through and through and it could not be restored, or was there still a possibility? Partly, Coriolanus doubted his intelligence. Lucy Gray would never forgive him again. By now his steps were a run, he tried to catch up with her. She was his. He had to possess her.

Could she? The Victor wasn't thinking about the future right now, though she'd been sure of her survival when they'd left. She could make things work out here, if she could escape. Even yesterday, if he'd offered help, she'd be in his arms. But with every footfall, her trust was sapping.

Coriolanus Snow @sncwrebel.bsky.social · Jan 20

Suddenly these noises got louder, as if someone was running. Would she really try to run away from him after being shot? Perhaps he could now put certain inconsistencies right? She couldn't possibly survive here alone, even if this was her home.

"...you can't escape me! Lucy Gray! +

Lucy Gray made it a couple paces from the tree when she heard his call out, fighting the urge to look behind herself. If she ran now, he would hear her footsteps, even against dampened forest floor. But hiding? That felt like a silly option, waiting for a slaughter.

So she took off.

Coriolanus Snow @sncwrebel.bsky.social · Jan 20

Of course, she would never have been able to reconcile it with her conscience if the snake had actually been dangerous to him. Now he couldn't afford to make any mistakes! Suddenly he steps on a stick that breaks under his feet. Silence.

"Lucy Gray?"

The snake wouldn't do any long lasting damage, Lucy Gray had picked a nearly harmless one, only to strike when threatened. Enough blood is on her hands. Despite herself, and likely her best interest, she didn't want his death. No, of course not.

She heard rustling, a snap of a twig. Time to go.

Coriolanus Snow @sncwrebel.bsky.social · Jan 20

The damn snake! Was it really poisonous? None of the apparitions are appearing yet... That could change. The blond-haired Capitol boy was angry, but more hurt by the fact that he had lost her forever. No! Lucy Gray, he had to find her! He tried to pick up the trail again.

Lucy Gray took another breath in, before she had to keep moving. A carefully placed snake had bought her some time, but hadn't stopped him like she wished. Hadn't scared him enough to go back. She didn't have a physical advantage, no, but maybe she could scare him. She could try, if it came to it.

Coriolanus Snow @sncwrebel.bsky.social · Jan 20

Despite the strange feeling he had inside him, he wanted to continue on his way. Perhaps he could catch her after all, bind his songbird more closely to him. How would he ever find her again here, where she knew her way around best?

A nomad at heart, Lucy Gray knew the woods of Twelve. But that didn't prepare her for trying to navigate it was a particularly nasty wound. She paused, letting out a huff of breath and placing her hand on a tree.

It was a sinking feeling, her fear.

Coriolanus Snow @sncwrebel.bsky.social · Jan 20

The sudden further cry coming from a little deeper in the forest makes Coriolanus sit up and take notice. His weapon sinking more and more in his arms, his further steps forward were exceptionally slow. Barely moving from the spot, he listened further out. Should he follow?
