You be the prey and I'll be the predator
Who| Molotov + you (places for various people in comments)
What| Molotov has somehow survived this far. She's determined to make it to the end.
Where| The Arena and then a little bit in the Capitol
When| Week 3 to the end and also a little bit afterward
Warnings/Notes| Violence, gore, crazy ladies, ~raciness~, etc.
Honestly, even Molotov was surprised to make it this long. Once Tom was gone, she figured that she didn't have that much time left, not in her condition, not with a wound this size on her stomach.
It's a wound that had been taking a turn for the worse. The antiseptic and gauze had run out within a week, and without the ability to clean and change the dressings, infection started to set in. Underneath the now-grimy bandages, the injury is black on the inside, oozing and starting to smell. Her skin is red and swollen and aching. Fever's made her sweat uncontrollably, plastering her hair down and keeping her face flushed. When she's not facing delusions, she is uncomfortably aware that she's dying, and not just from infection.
She hasn't eaten in three days.
So now she stumbles through the Arena, searching out food or anyone with it. She has a switchblade and cord, weapons that are dangerous in her hands even when she's in a state like this.
Molotov rounds the corner.

Molotov rounds the corner.
no subject
He fishes in his mind for the reason and only comes up with an excuse.
"I don't want you to end up dead," he says. "The last woman I said that to turned into so many splatters of blood on the pavement."

Her voice is dull and blank, and it's obvious that she doesn't care and is still incredibly hurt. She's died twice now, and she doesn't see how it matters if it happens again, even permanently, as long as they know how they feel, have it in the open.
She wishes she could turn back time.
no subject
He doesn't want to, and yet he knows that Molotov won't be stuffed into anyone else's timeframe. If being angry at him, if being hurt, is the only way she'll realize that he'll eventually be able to say what he feels as well, then he'll allow her that.
He gives her shoulder a squeeze.
no subject
She doesn't want to think, she wants him to say it. She wants to take back the leverage she gave him, and she wants to beat herself up for being so stupid. She clutches at the pillow.
no subject
"What you really want is for me to say it when I mean it, not so I can even out some sort of score between us."
no subject
She says it simply, emotionlessly. If he can't say it now and mean it, then he doesn't love her. It's plain math, really, and it feels like getting stabbed in the stomach. Maybe worse, even -- Molotov has been stabbed in the stomach, and she's not sure it hurt this badly.
"That's all you have to say."
no subject
That's never all he has to say. Tom's greatest vice in villainy and love has been a persistent need to get the last word in.
no subject
"You would feel like saying if you loved me. You'd still say you like whiskey even if you didn't want a glass right now, wouldn't you? So shut up."
