Thread: A Mockingjay Fettered (HeavenSundered & Randomname)

The strange looks from the passing pedestrians didnt really bother Troy all that much. He was used to getting those kinds of looks although those looks were for different reasons than why they were being looked at strange now. Troy shut up when he heard Katniss scold him and he continued pushing on with her, doing his best to push his body to the limit and not give up even though it hurt so much. When they barged through the front door of her house, he let her guide him to the room and before he knew it, he saw her mother and her sister in the doorway as he was being laid down onto the counter. The moment that Mrs. Everdeen started to touch his wound, he hissed in pain but did very well to stay still and not interrupt with her workings. She definitely thought that he was doing well compared to some others who would just outright kick, scream and shout and not allow her to get anything done. Troy bit down like she asked and was rather quiet, still wanting to seem like the big man that didnt ever get hurt although it hurt like hell. Soon enough once his body was all sutured up and he was breathing heavily as the whole process was over, he caught a glance of Katniss looking at his body but she didnt even seem to notice that he knew because she continued staring at him until her mother spoke. Since he was still the guest here at the house, he kept quiet at first in case Katniss wanted to explain but she kept quiet so he then took the cue to speak up. I was going for a jog and I was taking a rest near the fence at the end of the District. He explained and pushed himself up to sit up straight and take a deep breath, looking at her mother. His muscles contracted and expanded, rippling even more as he pushed to sit up. He wiped some sweat from his face and then stretched his arms as he spoke, unintentionally twisting his body in seductive ways that Katniss could have a perfect view to stare at if she desired to do so. Then I heard a scream so I just ran out into the woods and there were four men that were on Katniss, one had her bow and was about to shoot her so I stepped up and tried to help her. We fought them off and they ran but one got to stick a knife in me on his way out. Troy explained with a nod. Katniss helped me, she fixed up my wound and helped me get here, I wouldnt have been able to do it without her. Thank you, Mrs. Everdeen for the assistance and thank you too, Katniss, for helping me. He said, now turning to look at her daughter and gave her a smile, his pearly white teeth showing the smile that made so many girls swoon over him at school and now he smiled right at Katniss, looking deeply into her grey, Seam eyes before turning back to her mother. And Katniss killed a deer but she wasnt able to bring it back and I feel really bad about it, Id be happy to make up for it and make up for using your time and supplies, is there anything I can do? He asked and now moved to stand up. He was about to go so he didnt waste any of their time or their space but Mrs. Everdeen shook her head and pushed him gently to get him to sit back on the counter. No, you need to stay here so we can look after you for a bit. She answered simply. Indeed, she still did love her daughter even though she wasnt the best at showing it and he figured there was more than just for guys on top of her and she read in between the lines that her Katniss might have been dead if he werent there. She was truly grateful to the boy and was more than happy to look after him although she kept a blank look on her face as usual. Ill make you some tea. She added before nodding to Primrose and exiting the room with her. Troy shrugged slightly and then sat back down, turning to Katniss, then looking down at the blood all over her counter. Im sorry about the counter, too he grumbled, looking at the mess his blood had left.
