Foolish

Sarah takes one look at him and immediately knows that it’s bad. He’s lying on his back with his eyes closed, his whole side is covered in blood and his breath is coming in shallow gasps. She’s looking around to make sure they’re really alone, then she kneels down next to him. Carefully she puts a hand on his shoulder. “Jago”, she whispers.
With a flutter of his dark eyelashes he opens his eyes and looks at her. “They’re gone”, he manages to get out. Blood is running down his chin.
She nods and pushes his bloodied hand away to get a closer look at his injuries. She knows he needs a hospital, and maybe even that won’t be enough. In any case, he won’t be able to keep playing.
Their alliance has been useful, great even, in ways she doesn’t want to admit even to herself. Within a few days they’ve solved riddles together, fought together and saved each other’s lives more than once. (Slept on a couch together, a part of her brain whispers, seen each other almost naked, touched each other…) But she knows that dragging him around now will only slow her down, and she can’t afford that. Not if she wants to find the keys in time and win Endgame. For her family. For her parents. For Christopher.
She knows what she should do. And by the way he’s watching her, he knows it, too.
Her fingers close over the grip of the knife in her belt. She takes a deep breath. Jago’s eyes are black coals in his brown face.
She should. She should. She should.
She can’t.
She lets go.
Instead she puts her arm around his broken body and hauls him up. He groans in pain and maybe surprise. “Come on, let’s get you to a hospital.”
This was a mistake, she thinks as she’s dragging him over to the car. Her gaze moves over the dark spaces between the trees where she could be watched right in this moment by her enemies. She’s made herself vulnerable, made a foolish decision that could cost her endgame.
Then why does it feel so good?

Ich habe keine Ahnung, wer sie sind und was da los ist, wie dich nicht überraschen wird, aber selbst in den paar Sätzen baust du genug Kontext und Zusammenhang ein, dass es mir nicht wirklich auffällt und ich erleichtert aufatme bei "She can't". Und außerdem möchte ich jetzt wissen, wie es für sie beide ausgeht. XD

So richtig weiß ich das leider auch noch nicht, ich hab das Buch aus der Bücherei ausgeliehen und dann festgestellt, dass es eine Trilogie ist...wenn sie die anderen Bücher bei meinem nächsten Besuch nicht haben, muss ich die wohl kaufen. XD Neben Sarah und Jago gibt es auch noch andere Allianzen zwischen den 12 Spielern, und ja, es ist so ähnlich wie Hunger Games. x)
Danke. <3
