The Real Plan 😨
Lloyd's POV
I woke with a jolt, my head thumping in pain. Taking in my surroundings, I realise that I am once again, back in the aircraft. A body lays unconscious next to me, and I realise it's Cole.
Sitting up, I rip the tubes from my arms, and pull off the oxygen mask, shakily getting to my feet. Reaching over, I grab a syringe and make my way to the door. I put my ear to it, and listen in. There's voices, talking quietly, raising every now and then.
However, the doors are automatic, and I recoil in surprise as they open.
All eyes are on me as I enter the room, and I see Ronin there, as well as Dareth, Kai and Nya...wait.
What were Kai and Nya doing here?
Both of them were roughed up, with bandages and bruises, and tear-stained faces.
"Morning, sunshine," Ronin greets roughly. It all comes back to me now; the promise he'd made to keep Zane safe.
"Where's Zane?" I ask, my voice steady and cold, "What are you two doing here? What's going on?"
Dareth raises his hands in surrender "Now, calm down-"
"Not until you tell me where's Zane!" I snap, slamming my hand down. The syringe is still in my other hand.
"Just listen to him, Lloyd," Kai mumbles.
"You were our target the entire time," Dareth explains. I frown.
"Huh?"
"It's true," Nya rasps in a croaky voice, "after Ronin heard your choices for an alliance, he came to some of us. Half the tributes were in on it."
Kai kept his gaze low, until he finally looked up. "You weren't supposed to find out,"
I look between the two siblings. I don't see it anymore; I don't see the anger, determination and fire in them. They don't speak with the sarcasm and dark humour, like they did at the interviews with Gayle. They didn't look as bold, and confident as they did when they were selected. Kai looks mad, about to blow at any second, and Nya...she looked broken, like this was all too much.
"We've made a plan, however," Ronin tells me, "We're going to District 13, to meet up with the others-"
I was confused, "13?"
Ronin ignores me, "We're gonna assemble a team to rescue Zane-"
Nya coughs loudly on purpose, not bothering to look anyone in the eye. Ronin sighs, "And Jay, as well as some of the other victors."
PART 2: This is heavily based on Mockingjay part 1...i think...or 2?
Lloyd's POV
Kai, Skylor, Nya and I were being led by Libber, to where they were keeping the newcomers, aka: the people we kidnapped/rescued from the Capitol.
So much has changed within a mere few weeks; Kai has become more snappy and distant, Nya shows literally no emotion whatsoever, and I'm just...madder, more hellbent on revenge.
The door opens, and we walk into people hugging, laughing, crying, all at once. Nya takes a few steps forward, looking around, before her gaze fixes on something.
"Jay?" she calls out, walking closer, "Jay?"
A person with crazy brown hair and blue eyes turns around, his face brightening, "Nya!"
I watch as Nya runs up to him, jumping on him, as Jay whirls her around. Both of them are laughing, no crying, or both, and are kissing.
For the first time in a long time, I hear Nya's laugh. And it isn't some short, cold scoff that's made after a snarky remark; it's genuine, happy, filled with content.
They fall to the ground, still embracing tightly, and Jay pulls Nya in closer. He puts his head atop of hers, and closes his eyes, tears streaming from his face. He opens his eyes again, after a while, and looks over at me, his gaze latching on mine.
His mouths form two words, and I smile in response.
Thank you.
