Chapter 8: the beginning of the end:

I didnt even wanted to think of last nights events, I never felt that way about myself...hating who I am and what I do...lucky for me, Blaine was there and made everything okay just by being there  next to me and holding me tight. We were both in the sleeping bag (we were used to be curled up in each other so getting comfortable in a meant-to-be-single- sleeping bag was easy.)

I was awake for about an hour now, just looking at him, the most beautiful and perfect man Ive ever seen, now looking even more perfect than usual. I didnt want him to wake up because of me, he have been awake for days worrying while I was out in between worlds, so I wanted him to get a good rest(a thing that was almost impossible to get in a Glee game.)Before things gets bad again.

"I wish I could describe how much you mean to me..." I whispered quietly so he wont hear and wake up. I knew (despite the fact Blaine was trying to hide it.)Blaine thinks Im gonna leave him when we are out of here because he doesnt think I really love him or what not...I didnt know why he was thinking like that but I was about to prove him wrong." when we are out, Im just gonna love you more..."I whispered again, pressing a small gentle kiss to his hair.

"mm...I love you too..."I heard him mumble sleepily, his eyes are still closed and I nuzzled even closer to him." how long was I asleep?" he asked.

"no enough...."I said.

"are you okay?" He asked worriedly and I chuckled.

"yeah, I am." I confirmed. "Now go back to sleep, Ill wake you up later,"

"no, Im fine..."He said and tried to sit up but I didnt let him.

"Im gonna go make breakfast," I said sat up.

"but-"he started to say but I pressed out mouths together to shut him up.

"Go back to sleep,"

"okay..."he said happily even though he tried to hide it and I rolled my eyes as he rolled over and came back to sleep. I looked at him for a moment before walking away. we had enough food for the next 3 days s there was no need to hunt at all because we will probably wont be here by then. I took the box of cereal and ate peacefully; the lack of milk didn't bother me because I loved it without any milk anyways, before I almost fainted again from shock. I heard something explode.it didn't sounded so close to us, like it came from somewhere close to the end of the arena. What was going on out there?

I kept on hearing those sounds of exploding stuff and bombs and I kept on thinking that I don't want to die yet and most suddenly not by the Gleetol. Only now noticed those Glee games were kind of boring, the Gleetol wasn't doing anything special besides sending parachute and showing us who died at night but then even stopped doing that.at least none of it seemed to bother Blaine who was sleeping soundly by my side.

I learned to ignore the sounds after an hour or two; they were probably trying some new weapons to kill people, when they need to. I got bored after breakfast, and going to the cornucopia or someplace else wasn't an option, it would bring back all the feelings from last night and I will just break down and cry again. I couldn't let that happen. I took a deep breath to calm myself down.

"You can let go, staying strong isnt important anymore." I heard Blaine saying sleepily and I turned to him, only to see he was propped on one elbow, looking back at me.

"No, Im okay. I just have to hold on and then Ill use the money from my victory to pay for my life-long therapy." I said and he chuckled." are you still tired?"

"No, no, Im good. its just that sitting by your sleeping-bag side and praying to god you are okay and will wake up soon, is much more exhausting then you think," he said and sent me a small smile.

"I would have woke you sooner if I had known you were so worried," I said sarcastically.

"that would have been nice of you," he said and yawned." what were you doing there for so long? Watched a black screen?"

"I did, for a while. But then I started to see our memories…ever since the very beginning…"I said and smiled to myself.

"What do you mean since the beginning?"

"the first thing I saw was me, you and our mothers, I think it was in the hospital, a day or two after you were born." he raised an eyebrow.

"I didn't know we met before Coopers birthday…"he said confused.

"I saw that day too, and a few more special memories from all over the years but the last one…it was so…real. I actually think I cried in real life."

"No, the only thing you have done was smiling for a few minutes before it went down." He said." So what memory made you wanna cry?" he asked seriously and salience followed." was it that bad?"

"Yeah, it was." I admitted. "It was the last part of the day I have been taken to the Gleetol," I said and Blaine nodded.

"And?"

"I still don't know why I havent told you…"I said and sighed." It made me wish none of this would have happened."

"Well, I think it happened from some good reason or another, it is just the way things work, and Im fine with it now that I got you back." he said and I smiled.

"Really?" I asked and raised my eyebrow.

"Yes, I-"he started to say but was cut off by another explosion. He looked around to see where it came from, a look of horror in his eyes." what was that?" He asked, horrified. I guess he thought we were gonna die now, too.

"It's been going around all morning, but it is far away from us, I don't think we need to worry." I said and he nodded.

"Its still strange though, first they forget to show us who died and now this. Let alone the fact that nothing actually happened in that game besides what the tribute did to each other, no fire or bugs or anything special." he came to the same conclusion as I did, something was decently wrong.

"We will understand everything once we are back to real life." I said.

"I hope so,"

OoOoOoOoOoOo

Kurt and I were sitting on the ground and talking, something that never happened before and reminded me Kurt and I were best friends before we got together. it was nice to have that back, it made me feel a lot better. We both just laughed from something Kurt said when I realized I was staring at him. it was so easy to lose myself in his beautiful shining eyes, just like I used to do all those years ago. He was even more perfect now, his baby fat was completely gone by now, his hair had blond highlights, his skin was flawless and I didn't even want to start talking about those pink lips I loved kissing so much…OH, why did I went there? Everyone was watching! We cant do that now, not here…but you are a 17 year old boy who wants things! Thats totally normal, especially when its the love of your life you are in to…oh come on Blaine! Get it together!...what do I do?!I cant stop thinking about it now, and he just sits there and looks at me with those eyes of his! Why does he have to be so…so…what was that word again?

"Blaine? You seem lost, are you okay?" Kurt soft melodic voice pulled me out of my thoughts. I still don't have a clue about what went into my mind as I said:

"Can I kiss you?" I asked and by the look on his face I knew he had no idea what I wanted from him by asking this question) I didn't even know it myself...).

"Of course you can, you are my boy-"

OoOoOoOoOoOo

What was wrong with Blaine now? This thing came out of nowhere…why would he ask me that? If he wanted to kiss me he just needed to do it. "Of course you can, you are my boy-"I should have got used to Blaine cutting me off, but this time it was by kissing me like he never did before. His mouth crushed on mine fiercely (in a good way, I guess.)Blaines arm wrapped around my neck to pull me closer, his tongue running on my lower lip before finding its way into my mouth, exploring and tasting everything.

I suddenly became really aware of myself, the fact I didn't brush my teeth or showered in a while and that I had no idea what I was doing since I never kissed anyone but Blaine. Another thing that made me worried was the fact that Blaine didn't have any experience either but he seemed to have a very good clue what he was doing. Snap out of this Kurt! Your super-hot boyfriend is practically throwing himself at you and all you do is sit there in shock?!

As I finally snap out of my trace, I kissed back. The English language lacks the words to describe what I felt. When we were both on the verge of dying from lack of oxygen we pulled away, our lips parting with a soft sound, both of us breathed heavily, looking into each others eyes."-friend." I completed my last sentence.

"Im sorry," Blaine whispered, his hands pulling away from where they were on my body." I don't know what went into my mind," he said and I smiled, this time it was turn to attack him.

I wanted to think we both did pretty good at the whole making out thing, besides the fact we couldn't keep our balance and fell back to the ground. We laughed as we did.

"Look what you did!" he said between kisses

"Me? You were the one starting with it!" I argue and he chuckled.

"Was that you complaining?" he said in a low voice." do you want to me to stop…?"He asked, somehow managing to sound both innocents and seductive at the same time. Then, the natural thing happened despite my will, my hips jerked forward. No! Why did I do that! It could freak Blaine out completely! But it didn't, he moaned and pushed back, kissing me again. I knew we couldn't go any farther because all of the people who were probably looking at us at the exact moment, and the lack of lube in this place.

"Hey Kurt?" He asked as I sucked on his neck." Did you hear that? "He asked and my head shoot straight up, listening carefully to whatever Blaine just heard.

"Grrrr!" what the hell was that?!

"Oh no." Blaine said and sat up quickly, concentrating on something.

"What is that?" I asked when the look of horror on Blaines face didn't disappear. He got up and started to put every one of our belongings in the bags and looked for his bow that was actually right in front of him. "Blaine?" I asked. "What is it?"

"The Gleetol sent something, if its after us, we both are dead men." he said and tossed me one of the bags." we need to go and hide."

"Okay, go up on one of the trees and I will run away, Ill come back when its gone." I said and Blaine shook his head.

"No. whatever this is, it will find you and kill you! You have no chance against it on your own, I can help, and we need to stay together." he said despertly.it was annoying how we went from making out into (again)almost dying, in less than a minute. He had a point, but after a second of thing I found another thing that made sense.

"This thing is not after us." is said and it didn't seem like Blaine thought before sighting.

"Come on Kurt, we need to go," he said but I stayed in one place.

"If it was after us, it would have made a sound; it would stay quiet and surprise us so it can reap us apart more easily." is said.

"It doesn't matter, it could have just been sent to kill someone, and I don't want to leave you alone. Who knows if they are just trying to set us apart…"he said and I nodded.

"Go up, I will see you in a few hours," I promised and kissed him shortly on the lips before adding." I love you,"

"I love you too," he said." be careful," he ordered and I nodded before taking two steps back ,turning my back at him and running to…somewhere.

When I looked back, I saw Blaine already climbing up and I smiled to myself. He is going to be just fine. I ran quietly, ignoring the sounds of bombs exploding and focusing on the footsteps or other sound that animal could make. There is no place to hide if it was after me and even if it wasn't, I had to keep on moving away from it. I knew that if it would get to me, I had no way out; especially with the fact I was in pain from the last fight I got into. If it gets to me, Im gonna die.

I didnt heard anything, not even the growl it made as it jumped on me, knocking me to the ground.it was huge, very furry and it drooled on my face.one of his paws was on my chest, its Couse digging into my flash as it growled again. I couldn't think of a way out of this and I couldn't even stay alive because I couldn't breathe. I was so not ready to die yet, I was hoping that Blaine or somebody else will show up and save me as always but instead, we both heard something break and with that the monster walked away.as if nothing happened.

I breather heavily, not really understanding what happened to me at this moment, I didn't have much time to…I  tried standing up when I noticed  the cuts on my chest were bleeding and my already ruined shirt was getting red. I sat back on the ground and looked up at the sky when my eyes closed by them self and everything became black.

Oh god…not that again.

OoOoOoOoOoOo

I was looking at Kurt form above until I couldn't see him anymore; hoping the monster from the Gleetol wont find him. Its been about 30 minutes before something happened.

I saw the boy from district 5(I think his name was… Sam…?)Running to the clearance beneath me, breathing heavily (even from that high above him I could hear it.).He looked around to every possible direction, his eyes wide and wild, he had an ax in his hands and he was sweaty.it was after him. I didn't even have the chance to help him, the beast was on him so fast, pinning him to the ground and ripping his head off. The best way to describe the creature would be a hybrid of every animal I known.it turned to my direction and shift the air before it burst into flames, leaving behind a small pile of  ash the flew with the wind.

Leaving that aside (it was normal to the Gleetol to create a monster that destroy itself after fulfilling its duty.),I stayed up on the tree for hours, just in case there were others around but nothing happened. Literally nothing, even though Sam was dead for sure, her was nor cannon neither hovercraft to pick up his body. This is starting to get weird and Kurt wasn't here yet. Where the hell was he?
