Revelations

Lily's POV

After I agreed to help Grace Gabby really surprised me, I know she really wanted me to help and she was happy that I agreed but she never had to help Rue. After seeing her scale the climbing wall I knew she was trained and dangerous like every other career but I think the only thing she wants to do in these games is protect Grace, and that may be the only reason she kills. I can see her soft spot for children and I know she won't willingly kill them.

I was so enveloped in my thoughts that I didn't notice her right beside me until she poked my shoulder, I turned to face her. She looked unsure of something,

"I need to talk to you." She stated, this must be something important because she seems worried. She pulled me over to a more vacant station. She turned to face me,

"Ummm… there's been a change in plans, there are two more careers that want to join the alliance." She stated, I will admit I hadn't realized this was an alliance, but now I see that she is in fact correct. But two more careers, I can't do that to my other allies.

"I'm sorry I can't." I stated, she looked more encouraged now than she was before because she spoke again,

"Don't you at least want to consider them?" she asked me, I gave the slightest nod and she continued,

"I was caught when I was helping Rue." She started, I was beginning to become nervous, if they saw Rue would they decide to kill her faster? "But when I told them what happened they wanted to join us." She stated, she was looking me in the eye, as if expecting me to answer the question based on the facts.

"I don't know who would do that out of the other careers." I stated, she rolled her eyes and smiled,

"He's going to be mad that you didn't think of him." She stated, I thought for a moment and I felt stupid for not thinking of the answer sooner. I rolled my eyes as well and she gave me an impressed smile.

"Holt?" I asked, and she smiled in return. "But that still leaves someone else and all the other careers care about is how much pain I can hold out with-out dying!" I yelled, she gave a sad smile before she answered,

"James." She said plainly, that surprised me,

"WHAT!" I yelled and she flinched at my tone, "He…what…no…why?" the words came out in a rush, I saw the hurt look on her face and realized she hoped I would allow him, did she like him?

"If you don't want him just say the word and he won't be in the alliance I swear." She stated, but I could see the pain in her eyes, they were very descriptive.

"Do you like him?" I asked, I saw her eyes widen in shock, she slipped to the ground and put her head into her hands. I bent down next to her and rubbed her back soothingly. She stayed still for a few minutes before she spoke,

"I'm hopeless aren't I?" she asked, I just looked at her and let her continue. "What would he ever see in me, there's a reason I was sent to live in District 4. Reasons I can't tell, but that doesn't mean others don't know." I was in shock, but I didn't say anything, "He thinks I'm strange as do others, and he…he…he…" she broke down crying in front of me, I sat there and tried to soothe her but it wasn't working out very well. I told her to stay there while I got some help. There was only one thing she told me, I wasn't allowed to get Grace, that she wanted Grace to see her as strong and that right now she was weak.

I ran towards the other stations, I didn't know who to get. I saw my allies standing together. I had told Rue to inform them what was going on and that I would answer any questions they had later. I saw James fighting an expert with a trident, it wasn't a good idea to bring him to her when he was the reason she seemed to be crying about. Then I saw Holt, he was standing off to the side by himself at the edible plants section and I noticed he was with Grace, I ran over to him and he smiled when he saw me there.

"Hay." He said, I didn't even smile, I grabbed his wrist and pulled him with me, he didn't get one word in while we ran. When we arrived Gabby was still on the floor crying, Holt walked over to her and touched her shoulder. She slowly brought her head out of her hands. She looked horrible, her eyes were red and puffy from crying and she had spots on her clothes from her tears.

"What happened?" Holt asked her, she turned away from him frowning. She had said she wasn't allowed to tell anyone why she was transferred from District 1 to District 2, what did she do? I walked over to her and placed my hand on her shoulder. She looked up at me looking broken and distressed. But she stood and pulled herself together quickly, as if someone had told her to suck it up and move on. She walked out of the area towards the bathroom, I took advantage of her absence,

"What was that all about?" I asked Holt, he looked at me confused. "Ok, never mind that, do you know…why she changed districts?" I asked, he sat down and scratched his head, even this one movement made my heart skip a beat.

"One day we were playing outside together in District 1, she lived in the house next to mine in the Victor's Village, when two men walked into her house. She looked nervous but I didn't understand why, I poked her and brought her attention back to our game. She seemed distracted though, her mother called her into the house, her mother never left the house that day though. When she left I waited in my house for her to come back out but she never did. The next day she came out crying and screaming, I tried to help her but my parents looked nervous. They took me aside and told me that she and her family had been punished. Whenever I asked about it they never told me. The next week she was gone, in the mailbox was a letter addressed to me stating that she was forced out of the district and was currently living in District 4. That's all I know." He stated, just then Gabby came back into the room looking a million times better than she did before.

She walked towards us and sat down across from Holt. She looked between the two of us and spoke,

"You told her what you know?" she asked Holt, he gave the slightest nod. She stood up and sighed,

"Well, I hope that was satisfying because that's all you can know for now." She stated, she looked between the two of us before her eyes landed on Holt, I would be jealous if her eyes weren't distressed,

"You have a question, don't you?" she asked him, he nodded again, but this time it looked forced, he was nervous as to what she would say.

"Where are your' parents? I haven't seen them all this time, and both of them are Victors." He stated, I saw her stiffen, she turned away from us.

"The Capitol is cruel, my parents are…not coming to the games…" she finished, she whispered it, showing that we were being watched. I know what she means though, every mentor still alive is here, there's only one way they aren't here.

"That day Holt saw you crying and screaming, they…your…parents…" I whispered the entire sentence, she nodded once before she looked away.

"So many mistakes have been made, but not all of them were horrible, some of them were useful." She mused, I wanted desperately to know what she was referring to but I knew she wasn't going to say anything else. She turned and walked off towards Grace leaving an eerie silence in the air.

Gabby's POV

My life was tragic, when I was born my parents were considered outlaws for reasons they refused to share. And now I was still suffering from their mistakes. As I walked towards Grace I saw James out of the corner of my eye, even though I knew he would never accept me I couldn't help myself. He was standing with Isabella.

They were laughing and pointing towards a Tribute on the climbing wall, they seemed to be struggling in the same area Rue was earlier. I changed course and walked towards the climbing wall, at one point the other careers would realize I was quitting the alliance and I would like them to realize sooner to I don't have to put up a facade.

Once I arrived at the climbing station I strapped myself into the harness and began to climb, once I was closer I could see who it was, another one of the younger tributes, Melody. She was from District 3, apparently she didn't enjoy inventing things or working with wires, but singing. Her question during the Reaping was 'what is your favorite thing to do' she answered with a simple word 'sing' and all those in her district began to laugh. Her eyes filled with tears but she didn't reply.

When she saw me coming she began to panic,

"Honey, stop you're just going to make it harder on yourself." I stated, she looked at me in shock, I gave her a small smile and directed her until she was on top of the station. She turned towards me with a large smile on her delicate face, her red hair was poking out of the sides of her pony-tale.

"Why did you help me?" she asked, I smiled at her,

"You needed help and I wanted to make sure you were ok." I stated, when I realized what I was doing I knew I had to stop, if I cared about anyone else it would tear me apart, it always seemed to. She seemed to realize it to because she turned away from me with a tear shining on her face. I turned away as well and jumped off the cliff when I was off I unstrapped the harness and walked off.

But someone grabbed my wrist, I turned to face Isabella looking very angry with James standing close to her, closer than I wanted to see.

"What were you doing?" she asked me, I could hear the snarl she was trying to keep out of her voice. I saw James looking at me. I sighed before I answered,

"I wanted to help her." I stated, she looked like I just said I skinned puppies, she squeezed my wrist hard,

"And are you prepared to kill her?" she asked, "Because she's yours to kill during the blood-bath, you and only you may kill her!" she yelled at me, but I refused to react. I ripped her hand off my wrist,

"I'm not going to kill that little girl." I stated plainly, she glared at me before turning towards James,

"James" she purred, "tell her to do it for me, please." James looked taken back but soon complied with her orders,

"She gave you a kill and you're refusing to take it?" he asked me, I turned my head so I could see Melody on top of the make-shift mountain, she was staring down at us, her face troubled, she could hear every word we were saying.

"Yes, because I don't want to be a career, I'm quitting the alliance." I stated before turning to walk away, I saw Melody looking rejoiced. I sent her a small smile, she was just reassured that she was going to live. But I had just put a wanted add up with my face on it. I raced towards Lily and Holt,

"Lily this is important." I told her, she looked troubled at my outburst, she was holding Holt's hand.

"What?" she asked, her eyes looking around the area

"I quit the careers." I stated, her face was one of terror,

"Why?" she managed to choke out, but we were interrupted by James running over and snatching my wrist and pulling me away,

"If you apologize now she said she'd accept you back into the alliance." He stated, I nodded, it would be safer for me to do that. I walked with him back towards Isabella, she was waiting taping her foot impatiently on the floor. When she saw me approach I saw her face lighten slightly,

"I'm sorry Isabella, that was uncalled for. I just…that is an amazing thing for someone like me to receive, and I thought someone more worthy should receive that amazing ability." I was fairly decent when it came to sweet-talking someone and flattering them. She smiled at me, I smiled at her as well.

"Well, I know where you're coming from. And I appreciate your modesty." She smiled at me before continuing. "Now go train, ok?" she asked and I nodded pretending to be ecstatic, she turned towards James and smiled at him,

"You're amazing did you know that?" she asked, he smiled down at her before he bent forward and kissed her passionately. And that one move broke my heart. I couldn't stop my feet, I ran and ran until I fell. When I stopped, there was someone standing before me. I looked up into the cold unforgiving eyes of Shawn.

Hope you enjoyed it! I'm really enjoying this story even more after adding Gabby and Grace! I hope you enjoyed the chapter and do me a favor…REVIEW
