Even in Death We Can Find Love

Ass kicking

Gerard's POV

The next morning after breakfast I got in the elevator and and pressed down so I could head towards the practice arena. Gracie would head down soon I'm sure. The elevator stopped short and opened, I furrowed my brows in confusion until I saw Frank appear. 

He looked down at his feet not notching me and walked into the elevator, once the doors had closed he looked up to see who was in there with him, his red widen once he saw me, "Gerard." he breathed. I gave him a small smile, 

"Hey Frank ready for this morning's practice?" giving him a sympathetic smile, knowing he basically sucked. He frowned shaking his head 'no' he looked up at me, "Isn't today when we practice against our 'partner' or who ever we came with?" he questioned 

I sighed, "Yea. Not exactly excited to fight Gracie." I mumbled frowning at the thought. Frank patted my back before the rest of the elevator was silent

Time lapse

Frank's POV

I stood in front of my opponent knowing I was gonna get my ass kicked by a girl. The other tributes surrounded us in a circle. This was a only hand to hand combat but I know I was gonna get my ass kicked. 

The girl smirked, "Ready to die Franklin?" she glowered I gulped standing in position, legs slightly spread and fists up, the girl laughed standing perfectly still,

The whistle blew.

She ducked and pulled my ankle knocking me down in one swoop I gasped before she got on top of me pinning my hands I narrowed my eyes and kneed her stomach but she didn't seem affected I looked at her like she had two heads before focusing. She punched me in the nose before I spit blood at her, she could act like a robot weirdo but she's still a girl and that surly grossed her out. She pulled a horrible face and I took this as my chance to flip us over and get up putting distance between us. 

She chuckled standing up wiping the blood off, I could feel all the eyes on us but I ignored it. I needed something to be good at to survive. She swooped towards me but I ducked and tackled her at stomach pushing us to the ground.

 We tussled on the ground for a minute before she had me on my stomach twisting my arms in directions they were SO NOT TO BE! In one hand and the other had my chin I thought she was going to snap my neck but our mentor pulled her back,

"ENOUGH! There is no killing before the hunger games!" he growled throwing her to the ground. I coughed and laid here limply on the ground,

"GET UP IERO!" he growled before walking off. The girl stood up glaring at me, "Might as well just walk off before the timer on the hunger games Iero save us the trouble of you two seconds after that thing goes off." she laughed manically 

I really am good as dead.

Gerard's POV

I stood in front of Gracie scared of hurting her. 

The whistle went off. 

I blinked and Gracie wasn't there, where the fuck- I fell face first onto the ground and flipped onto my back seeing Gracie was indeed right behind me she smirked, "Where the fuck was that scared innocent little Gracie?!" I whispered 
I rolled over and stood up as she got ready to jump on me and punch me in the throat. She growled when she hit the ground, she stood up glaring harshly at me. 

I stood there shocked.

I snapped out of it when she run towards me I smoothly dodged it and caught her foot throwing onto her back. I didn't want to fight her but if this was how it was gonna go I need to defend myself. I flipped her onto her stomach and straddled her back and pinned her hands down. 

She bit me.

"SON OF BITCH!" I screamed seeing blood where she bit me. I let go of her grabbing the wound and she head butted my nose causing blood to gush more. I landed on my back and she punched my groin and i groaned in pain. 

The whistle blew and she froze mid punch. Gracie smiled and stood up walking away.

What the fuck just happened?!
