Christian's POV
7 am (same day) dream mode
It was a warm spring afternoon and Scarlet and I were lying on the lush grass. She had her earphones in, her eyes closed, lost in the songs. She started humming. I took her out to tell her the diction I made; I did it for her after all. I pulled out on of her earphones and she looked at me with big brown eyes, "What?"
"What would you say if I joined them," I asked. She understood who I meant right away. She gave me a questioning gaze. "For you, I mean. So you won't get hurt." She gave a humorless laugh, "I'd say 'kill me now'. Chris, you do know that in a war, the only person you can protect is yourself, right?"
It was my turn to get confused. "In war if you try to protect someone, you end up killing more people than your saving. And, in return the people you kill will go after the most important thing in your life, and snatch that away from you; you get what I'm saying?" She looked at me with those brown eyes; they held trust, so much trust.
I forced a smile and said "yeah I guess you're right." she gave me one of her dazzling smiles and went back to listening to her music, her face peaceful.
I was awoken my sound of my name "Chris. Chris, CHRIS!" the sing-song voice yelled while softly shacking me. I opened my eyes to see an irritated Scarlet. She looked like a mad kitten, angry but wouldn't hurt you. I sat up and looked at her; she was wearing a shirt that had lyrics from the song save me by Nikki Minaj on it and dark skinny jeans. "What're you doing here," I asked her. Her eyes looked at me and I instantly remembered the dream I had. The only difference was that now her eyes held trust, love and fright. She wouldn't keep steady eye contact so I put a finger under her chin and pulled her face up so she had to look at me. "What's with you, Scar," I asked her I saw her eyes sweep around the room before she answered me "I saw Demetri, Chris. He did all of this. I mean the fires; he has complete access to camp. That means no matter what were screwed." She looked close to tears.
Tell her; I thought to myself, she deserves the truth. But the moment I looked into her eyes I just couldn't bring myself to say anything. "I won't let anything happen to you, Letts" I said, using her old nickname. She gave me a sad smile. "In war, you can't protect anyone but yourself, Chris, I told you. Although that's sweet," she gave me a genuine smile this time. I softly pressed my lips to hers, she abruptly got up and said "well, lover boy if you don't get up you'll miss breakfast," with that she sashayed out of my cabin
I chuckled lightly. And got ready for breakfast.
When I reached the mess hall I saw that everybody expect my cabin was there. As I looked over at the Apollos cabin I saw Scarlet smirk at me, I also saw Hunter glare at me. You see Hunter was very protective of his sister's. I gave a wave just to get him even angrier. My plan succeeded, his glare intensified. I laughed aloud, getting strange stares.
After breakfast, I was walking to the arena to train when I heard someone calling out my voice. I turned around to see Karen Valdez making her way towards me. She stopped in front of me. She looked around to see if anyone was listening "Chris, Demetri is pissed with you," she whispered "he said you can't have any ties to anyone, you know that means Scarlet to." She looked at me with pity in her eyes. My eyes traveled to the archery rink and landed on Scarlet. I knew what I had to do. I had to break up with the girl I'm putting my life on the line for, I just didn't know how id bring myself to do it.
