"Kat!" I shouted to the seated girl who now was jumping to her feet and the two of us ran to one another, meeting halfway and embracing each other in our arms.
"Oh my god." She said, holding me still. "Are you okay?" She pulled away. "Jesus." She remarked, noticing the marks all over me.
"Yeah, I know. I'm fine though." I said, lying only partially.
"How's Peeta?" She finally asked and I felt a lump form in the back of my throat. I shook my head, upset and bothered by the question because I felt terrible. I left him. I left him all alone.
Tears began swelling in my eyes and she pulled me into her again, letting me sob into her shoulder. Gale stood nearby, waiting. "It's okay, you're safe now, Ari." She assured me. But that's not important. What was important was getting them safe. "Hey, I know what could help a little bit. There's someone who's been waiting on you." She finally said, comfortingly, grabbing my hand and leading me down the hall with Gale following us. We stood in front of a closed door, where she finally opened it and another familiar face, perked up.
"Finn!" I shouted, running to him and he now held me into him, tightly. Both of us, crying. It was a pathetic display but neither of us cared. "Oh my god, Finn." I sobbed.
"I'm so glad you're okay." He said to me, not letting go. He pulled back a little, noticing the marks all over me. That's all anyone could notice now.
"Annie's okay." I spoke up and his expression turned grateful for me bringing her up. "They're all being held captive in the tribute center. Don't worry, she doesnt look as bad as I do." I assured him.

"You never could hold your tongue." He chuckled a little, through his tears.
"That's what usually gets me into the most trouble." I laughed to myself. Kat stood by the door, talking with Gale.
"Those two have been inseperable." He told me, with a slight smirk. "Is Peeta alright?"
"He's managing. I hate that I left them all." I shook my head as we walked out of the room and the four of us began walking back up the hall.
"You had to. But trust me, I wish I were there instead of her. I'd trade places in a heartbeat." He looked to the floor. I understood that. Peeta would have never gone and let me stay.
"We're gonna get them out, Finn. I promise. I don't care if I die in the process." I said to him.
"I know. Me too." He nodded, looking down, and then back up to me. "We have a lot to catch you up on, Arizona."

The Ruined Monks of Rothfield Monastery
Erin is the youngest member of the dark monks; a supernatural brotherhood whose ultimate mission is to improve the dire circumstances of poor, war-torn villages using powers unique to each member. Or so he was led to believe. Erin, like his brothers, does not age, and that is, unfortunately, the only trait he shares with them. He cannot charm or compel like Woodrow, he cannot cast illusions like Knox, he was not swift like Swithin, not powerful like Blake. He was barely an assistant to his dear brother Wilbur, with his herbology and alchemy. He was told to lie low and make himself scarce. That is what he did. The dark monks temporarily reside in abandoned monasteries scattered around the country, feeding the poor and healing the sick, nurturing the monastic lands until it was fertile enough to raise crops and rear animals. As the years passed, they would leave these reformed, repopulated, self-sustaining monasteries and venture froth to help the next settlement. Yet, after years of toiling and quiet servitude, Erin notices that people and the country itself are declining. The villagers look gaunt, the once-lush soil now barren and cracked. He begins to feel disheartened, thinking that their mission is proving futile. Still, their leader Blake is steadfast and charges onward, and lately has his eyes set on a certain monastery in a thick, thorned forest that seems to diminish, even nullify their powers. A thick forest that Erin somehow has a connection to. A thorned glade where an ethereal voice calls his name with one simple request along with a promise:Heal the land, child. Heal the land and I promise to give you sanctuary so long as you stay. I promise to nurture you as you nurture me. As Erin cultivates the land, the land, in turn, gifts all its caretakers with new, enhanced skillsets on top of their unique powers -- skills of protection, healing, and magic. Magic. Erin had long wished to see the world fill with it again. The people, regardless of common or noble blood, still believe that magic will enter this world again. Magic to bless the king like it did the Saints. Magic to dispel the miasma befouling the world. Magic to bring back the fae folk and their many forms. It is up to Erin to forge the many paths leading to a bright future; to build a prosperous paradise that welcomes all races and bloodlines, by mastering the rewards gained through agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry, smithing, crafting, and fishing. Erin may also find a lifelong friendship and romance with his neighbor, Claude, if he decides to pursue him, and may even join him in the military campaign outside the monastery. The darkness still lurks outside, after all, and the mastery of his skills, along with a few good friends, may finally be enough to turn the tide in their favor. Most of all, Erin wants to keep the vow he set for himself: to protect everyone and everything he loves until his dying breath.
