Thread: A Mockingjay Fettered (HeavenSundered & Randomname)

It was odd, seeing the much smaller Katniss Everdeen trying to support the much taller, stronger, and bigger Troy Smith. Usually, Troy would be the one who would comfort someone else or be the one that would try and help someone through an injury. This time, he was the one that was hurt and the knife in his side wasnt helping him feel any better. Once he was sitting up against the tree, he groaned and grumbled in pain. Damn bastards He huffed, he had never seen the men before and he wasnt quite sure if he would ever see them again. It looks better than it feels. He said with a dry chuckle, trying to find humor in his particular situation. He couldnt tell what kind of knife it was by the feel but he felt like it was some kind of strange, exotic knife but he knew better. He wished he could do more to help himself, he didnt like that all the pressure was on the girl now but he couldnt really do that much. Troy always thought that Katniss was a good looking girl but he didnt want to see her undressing like this. The thought made him laugh inside as he tried to distract himself, his vision getting a bit blurry. Even though the knife wasnt that long, it was causing a hell of a lot of bleeding. He also thought it was ironic that she seemed even more nervous or scared than he was. Do what you- FUCK! He groaned once she pulled out the knife. Nodding and biting his lip from the pain he moved his hands over hers as she told him to apply pressure. Once she asked if he could walk, he tried to get up himself but she was already at his side. Groaning as he tried to pull his own weight, he huffed slightly. Sorry about the shirt Ill get you another one. He said and offered her a weak smile as he limped along, moving his free hand to hold his side. He noticed her disgruntled look at the deer and he would have to pay her back for this and the deer. And dont worry about the food after Im good, Ill cook you a three course meal. How does that sound? He asked with a soft chuckle again but the laughing hurt his side so he did his best to control it. It never really hit him what would have happened if he hadnt shown up when he did but it was clear that it wasnt good. Her deer would have been taken, she would have been beaten, raped, or even killed but instead she was escaping without a scratch or just a minimal injury. He had always been there to help with something like this, a few townie boys bullying on one of the Seam girls, or some bastards trying to mess with some of the Seam stores but nothing as major as this. It was definitely big deal. Now, they were closing in on the fence and Troy knew like Katniss that they needed to check to see if the electricity was on, and of course, it was not because they had no reason to do so. The pair slipped through the fence and Troy groaned as he tried to move accordingly to get through. Where is your house? He questioned, coughing up slightly and coughing up some of the blood that he had. He still was doing his absolute best to support his full weight and he was doing a better job than most, feeling bad that he ruined her hunting trip and her clothes but hed amend for that later.
