Kurt closed his eyes. He didn’t know what to do. The cheers and the laughs echoed in his ears, making him more angry by the second. He could feel his heart pounding in his chest. He opened his eyes to look at Blaine who hadn’t moved from his spot, his head still dangling down like he had accepted his fate.
“Do something!” The boy from district 1 shouts before throwing another stone at Blaine, hitting him in the head. Kurt reaches down into his jacket pocket finding his knife that he had hidden earlier. He wraps his hand around the handle before breathing out slowly. He brings his hand with the knife out of his pocket before throwing it towards the boy from district 1 hitting him in his forehead killing him instantly shocking the other boy. Blaine jumps when the sound of the cannon fills the air making him instantly look at Kurt who’s now unsure what to do. Kurt looks down at his feet trying to get free but it’s impossible.
The other boy pulls the knife out of the others head before he walks towards Kurt. Kurt gulps as he tries to get free but it’s too late, the other boy’s on top of him now. Kurt feels his heavy body on top of him as he starts to punch Kurt. Blaine tries to help but the ropes around his feet are too tight.
“KURT!” He calls out but he can’t see him anymore, his small body covered up by a giant.
Kurt does everything he can but the guys to strong. The knife is in his mouth now as he carries on with the punishing. Kurt tries to free his trapped hands but his to heavy. He tries to punch underneath him but it’s no good. The other guy finally stops as he pulls himself up straddling Kurt, grabbing his hands.
“Maybe I should make lover boy watch you die. Maybe I should slit your throat and he can watch you bleed to death.” The guy laughs as Kurt feels the guy move from his front to sit behind him, still holding his arms. Kurt waits until the other guy is seated before he uses his head to hit the guy in the face making him lose grip of both the knife and Kurt’s hands. Kurt uses his head again breaking the guy’s nose. A scream fills the air as Kurt uses his now free hands to find the knife that’s now somewhere between him and the other tribute. It’s now a race between both of them as Blaine watches on unable to help. Kurt finds the knife and within seconds he manages to swing himself around so his facing the other tribute, the rope around his legs have now gone around the other tributes making him unable to escape. Kurt slowly brings the knife up to the other guy’s throat making him start to shake. The tributes hands are around the rope as he tries to get himself free but he ends up more tangled losing the use of his hands as they get stuck in the tight knots.
“I could do it” Kurt speaks as he leans towards the other’s guys face, the blood running down like a river from his broken nose.
“KURT!” Blaine shouts but his ignored.
“Maybe I should cut your throat.” Kurt shouts, his hands shaking as the knife starts to cut slightly on the fellow tribute releasing tiny droplets of blood.
“KURT!” Blaine shouts again this time gaining Kurt’s attention. He slowly brings the knife down and wipes away the sweat on his forehead.
“What do I do Blaine?” Kurt asks as he keeps an eye on the other guy.
“I-I-don’t know Kurt.” Blaine says softly as he moves around on the spot.
“If I don’t then....I have no choice.” Kurt says as he places the knife back on the other guy’s throat.
“Kurt, not like this.” Blaine says as he reaches out for Kurt, his hand hanging in midair waiting for Kurt to take it but his too far away. The knife slips slowly and the sharp point ends up on the other tributes chest. Kurt looks at his hands then back up at the other guy’s face who is also shaking.
“Kurt, cut yourself free and let another tribute dea.....” Blaine cuts off as he sees Kurt suddenly back away, his whole body shaking. He slowly turns to Blaine, his hands empty but covered in blood.
“He-he-fell forward” Kurt croaks as the tribute that had attacked Kurt is now slumped on his knees and swinging from side to side. Kurt watches as the guy tries to speak but all that comes out is muffled moans and blood. Kurt starts to mess with his ropes as the guy moves forwards towards him, the knife still in his cheat, where his heart should be.
“He fell into the knife Blaine. I didn’t...” Kurt says as he looks back at the fellow tribute and grabs the knife and pulls it out making the boy scream before he falls backwards on his back. Kurt starts to cut his rope as fast as he can.
After a few minutes the cannon goes off and Kurt’s looks at the body next to him but doesn’t stop hacking through the rope. He finally releases himself and he runs over to Blaine. His clothes feel heavy, he looks down to find his covered in blood but it isn’t his own. Blaine looks up at Kurt before they kiss.
“I thought I was going to lose you.” Blaine whispers in between kisses as he wraps his hands into Kurt’s messy hair. They carry on kissing until they interrupted by the sound of another cannon making them both jump.
“We should go.” Kurt says as he starts to help free Blaine from his ropes.
“How many tributes do you think are left?” Kurt asks as he uses his knife to cut through the rope.
“3 I think and then there’s us but I’m not sure” Blaine sighs as he tries to help.
A big roaring sound fills the air making Blaine and Kurt stop.
“What-what was that?” Kurt asks as he pauses.
“I don’t know. Kurt, listen to me, get that hammer and bring it here.” Blaine says as he holds onto Kurt’s hands. Kurt runs over to the centre and picks up the hammer that the tributes had original wanted them to fight with and brings it back handing it to Blaine.
“If something comes I want you to run Kurt, as fast as you can. Leave me and run” Blaine choke’s.
“No I’m not leaving you.” Kurt says pausing for a second. He cups Blaine’s face, leaning forward to rest foreheads against each other.
“I’m not leaving you ever again, I’ve lost you once and I’m not losing you a second time.” Kurt finishes his sentence with a kiss but Blaine pulls back refusing.
“I don’t want to see you get killed Kurt” Blaine cries as he leans closer. Kurt lets go and starts to cut again.
“Kurt” Blaine chokes but Kurt ignores him and carries on.
Another roar fills the air and Kurt starts to cut faster. This time the sound is closer like its just right behind them. Kurt stops, he can feel the breath of something on his neck.
“Kurt” Blaine whispers as he grabs onto his arm. Suddenly something has Kurt’s foot and his pulled off his feet, his holding onto Blaine as tight as he can. He looks around to see a giant bird like creature with big black eyes attached to his leg. He tries with all his might to hold onto Blaine but it’s too strong.
“BLAINE!” Kurt screams as he finally loses grip and is pulled into the air.
“KURT!!!”
