Follow the golden road to heaven: [Tina's death]

[Marree]

Noelle's voice is like the nectar of a honeysuckle; sweet. Her apology wasn't even needed as the older girl accepts it with the gentle movement of her hair. She longed for the girl and her alliance to forget what had happened; how she made a fool of herself.



"Everyone, keep fighting! don't back down! We can do this!" Tina's mind rushed with emotions. She longed to keep Raiden safe. She longed to make up for her stupidity to Noelle from just the day before. Her stomach peirced with pain already but she wouldn't say anything at all. She was glad to have Noelle hold her; to be in her arms. Tears seemed to have fallen but she sewed her up. She whispered in her ear sweet words of strength as she felt the needle peirce her stomach over and over again, pulling the skin together to prevent any more leakage of blood. She had slept fast that night but to have this day be what it was, she feared for their lives.



An act of bravery shone as bright as her flashlight. Her eyes glanced to papa bear, watching where his sights had been turned. Dragon was in trouble. Dragon had been next on his mind to attack and the wailing of baby bear peirced her mind. She jumped at the chance to protect her alliance. "RUN DRAGON.. RUN PLEA..." She longed to keep them safe - she longed..



"AHHH!" The scream suddenly escaped her lips in a painful cry as her flashlight went flying toward the ground, spinning before coming to a halt, lighting the ground in which she crumpled onto. Her head hit the ground. Tina's body landed on its side, a hand keeping her from rolling over on her back. Her face began to spill crimson from a gaping wound on her face and eye. Her breaths gasping yet shallow. Her fingers latched onto some form of solid ground but weakness overtook her.



"Ra... Raid.... Noe... elle..." Her fingers slowed down from grasping the blades of grass. "..is... he..safe?"

Tina LaRue



Too Smol To Die

 

[Arrow]

Willows weep, skies split sun suffering beneath a brutal barricade of cold clouds. A heart held flower folds wilting within a winter wind. She slips through space, tears through time before colliding with my arms. Crimson curses across stained skin while fingers follow her face. So many words to say, so many memories to make. They all fade from reality splintering across a realm of darkness. Tina LaRue is being removed from our existence, fading within the fierce hold of my ethereal embrace. 

Failed faces forge themselves upon the forefront of my mind blistering a burn of guilt to deep to be cured. My Mother and Father fall before I breach their breaths with my own. Kendrick curls cruelly over inside a wicked world of blood before I can return beats to his heart. Now another girl greatly tethered to my heavy heart phases from my fingers detoriorating into death before I'm able to bring a needle to her skin. 

The needle falls, its pointless with this progression.

A soft smile steals the sorrow from my face shoving it beneath my skin. Kind coos calm a quaking child. "Yeah, you saved him. You're a hero." You're my hero. It happens again, my heart shatters beneath brutal loss. Maybe Noelle Vangart is eternally meant to be a broken girl grown on grief.

Silent tears roll down the side of my face. Moving is hard. Breathing is impossible. The biggest bears are dead which is a huge feat in itself, but it didn't come with a price. Tina fell, and I can't do anything. Dragon managed to snag baby bear, and I don't know if I want it following us. It's scary, terrifying. It's one of the Capitol's creations, and I want nothing to do with it.

My heart aches as I watch Noelle and Tina.

Making friends in the maze has only hurt me, but maybe it's the reason I'm here. To find a friendship, but what's the purpose? Why make friends when everyone is going to die.

I can't even bring myself to think about fighting anymore.

It's so dark, but in the little light offered by the flashlight, I can see her. I can't hear what's being said, and I'm staying off to the side. It hurts so bad. Just like when Kendrick fell in the bloodbath.

I'm crying, hard. I can't control myself, and I want to lean my head against her telling her it'll all be okay, but I know it won't. The massive claw has destroyed her, taken her life away.

Putting the weapons away, I carefully move over to her, and I sit down beside her, placing my hand on her shoulder, but I don't know what to say. I don't know what to do anymore. No words can make up for what just happened. But what can I do?

I lick my lips trying to control the tears from falling any faster.

"Tina...sweet Tina..." My words fail, and I can't do anything anymore because my silent tears are now loud and violent.

As the bear struck Tina instead of Dragon, the young boy felt guilt surge through his body. She had been hit and killed as a result of protecting him. How could he ever repay such an action? Dragon felt that he didn't deserve to have been saved. Instead, Tina should have stayed out of the way so she didn't get hit. Dragon didn't want to blame her, though. She did it because she cared. He would have done the same for her.

The girl begged to know if Dragon was safe. Noelle told Tina she was a hero, and that she had saved him. This was true. Dragon saw her as a hero, for sure. Then, he approached her as she lie on the ground. Placing his hand on her shoulder, the boy spoke softly to her. His voice was kind.

"Yes, Tina. I'm okay," he told her. He couldn't get any other words to surface at first. Once he noticed her starting to fade from life, however, he knew he had to speak. He had to say something. Tina had just saved Dragon's life. She deserved more than just knowing that he was okay. His hand still resting on her shoulder, he spoke again.

"You are an amazing girl, and no one will forget you. Especially not me. I'll never forget the beautiful girl named Tina who saved my life." A tear rolled down Dragon's cheek, but he didn't wipe it away. She should know that he mourns her. She should know, in those final moments, that she's loved.
