'Wars could be adverted with communication... ╔══════════════╗ "Yes, I was real lonely in this here cave while you ran out into the rain." Dev said with almost comical sarcasm.
He heard something. Something that disturbed the constant murmur of the wind and rain. Almost a rustle, but more like heavy breathing. It was uneven and sporatic. Something didn't seem right... He saw twenty-four pairs of glowing yellow eyes. They were menacingly staring back at him. He let out a moan of indignation as they turned their vision to Celaes.
"Celaes DUCK!" He yelled. Although he didn't need to because as the shadowy animal like figures pulled into the cave he was already in front of Celaes, a spear like limb in his side and a stinging pain of poison in his bloodstream. They came into the torch lit right as his vision faded.
Spiders. Three spiders were among him and Celaes which meant one crucial point.
The Capitol was getting bored of the Games and needed the Gamemakers to add something to keep fear and action from dying. And after that thought, everything went into black. ╚══════════════╝ ...Turning animosity into admiration'

She curses as the spider-like creatures attack. She pulls her bow off her back and aims directly at their heads, putting a quick end to the first three. Two more pop out and put up more of a fight, but eventually fall victim to her arrows as well. She manages to escape with a bunch of scrapes, none of them too deep but enough to send the poison buzzing slightly in her veins.
"Damn Gamemakers..."
She retrieves her arrows from the curled corpses and wipes them off with the rainwater pooling at the mouth of the cave. With a sound kick to each of them, she manages to move the corpses to the back of the cave. Behind her, she hears Devault moan slightly in his unconcious state. Slinging her weapon onto her back again, she kneels beside him and inspects the wound. It was small, but deep. Surely the poison was throughout his entire body by now...
She curses again and glances up at the ceiling.
"A little help here?"
As if on cue, a tiny parachute lands with a clunk in the mud outside, soaked by the rain. She runs over to it, delighted to find a small medical kit with a pill taped to it. She opens his mouth and forces him to swallow the pill, then stands and goes to look for a certian bush she noticed earlier...

'Wars could be adverted with communication... ╔══════════════╗ Devault is abruptly shaken from his black-mided state. He start coughingg sporaticly and vomits what little food he had in him. He could feel the poison disperse throughout the bile taht just left his mouth so he felt strangley better, but still horrible. He looked around and salvaged some bandages from his pack and wrapped his wound tightly. He saw that he was lying in a pool of a mixture of blood and vomit and relocated to the wall of the cave. Wouldn't be long until another wave of enemies flooded the night. ╚══════════════╝ ...Turning animosity into admiration'

Celaes returns with a handfull of broad, deep green leaves. She looks first at the puddle on the floor then at Devault.
"How are you even...?"
Glances at the kit and realization flitts across her face.
"The pill."
She walks around the puddle and grabs the kit, moving over to where he was sitting.
"The poison isn't out of your system yet...spider venom is a pain in the a** to get out."
Puts a leaf in her mouth and chews, wincing at the acrid taste. She rummages around in the kit and pulls out the roll of gauze and an antibiotic wipe. A brief look of discust crosses her features as she swallows the leaf. She hands him one.
"Here. Chew this up really well, then swallow."
Carefully, she lifts up his shirt and cleans off the wound with the antibiotic wipe.
"This is gonna sting a bit..."

'Wars could be adverted with communication... ╔══════════════╗ Devault yells out in pain as the wipes graze his skin. But it feels better after a while. He stares quizzically at the leaf. He takes the leaf and chew on it tenatively and then swallows, only fo it to come right back up again with another handful of blood and poison. He feels humiliated, one minute he is fending for himself and being well supplied and healthy, the next he is sitting in a pool of blood, venom, and bile in a cave with Celaes after she killed the spiderbeasts that he could not. His face lights up red from embarassment and takes off his shirt as she wipes his wound.
"I'll live through a little wiping pain." He says trying to regain the pride that has left himself a mere 70 seconds ago. ╚══════════════╝ ...Turning animosity into admiration'

She blushes a little as he removes his shirt, but finishes wiping the wound and bandages it up with the gauze. Apparently, the Capitol no longer made Band-Aids...
"You're lucky, you know. An inch deeper and it would have peirced something vital."
Smiles at him.
"And the vomitting is normal too, the body's natural defense to getting the venom out of your organs."
She pulls a towel out of the tarp and wipes his face slightly, pausing when she realizes how stupid she looks.
"Sorry..."
Hands him the towel and sits back, eyeing the spider bodies.

'Wars could be adverted with communication... ╔══════════════╗ "Huh, I guess the world is repaying me for all the messes they have put me in before." He said rolling his eyes.
He ctaches the towel and wipes his face clear of vomit and other bodily fluids. He stood up cautiously and winced due to intense pain. As he leaned against the wall, now towering over the sitting Celaes, he looked out into the rain and saw plume of fire on the other side of the clearing. Seems that they weren't the only unlucky ones. He hears animals quieting their normal commute and froze. More were coming. And he and Celaes needed to get out of there.
He retrieved his shirt and lightly put it on, then his vest. "We need to move. More will be here any moment." He said to Celaes as he almost fell to the floor in writhing pain. ╚══════════════╝ ...Turning animosity into admiration'

She listens carefully to the sound of the aproaching animals, lost in thought. Out of the corner of her eye, she sees Devault starting to fall and stands up to steady him.
"No...wait."
She concentrates and listens to the rustling approaching them. She curses when she recognizes the sharp scraping sound of the spearlike legs on the spiders. Whirling around, she grabs her tarp and what's left of the medical kit and Devault's supplies and wraps it all into a crudely fashoned backpack. Despite being several inches shorter than him, Celaes drags Devault to the nearest tree and hoists him up to the lowest branch. She jumps in after him and proceeds to guide the way to the middle section of the tree.
"Got to get the hell away from here..."
She paused and glances around at the surrounding trees before selecting a path Devault could manage.
"Come on."
She grabs his wrist and tows him with her as she steps lightly across the branches of the enormous trees. Down below, the scraping of the spiders becomes louder and closer with each passing moment.

'Wars could be adverted with communication... ╔══════════════╗ Devault is in a horrible situation. It is either grin and bare the horrible pain, or relieve a tiny bit of it by yelling out in agony. But it would alert the spiders too much. He nearly falls on a brach and curses.
"We have to stop. I can't go any further. You go ahead. I can manage myself." He said trying to preserve Celaes' life for reasons unknown to himself. He gave a weak smile and leaned back on a branch. ╚══════════════╝ ...Turning animosity into admiration'

She stops and looks at him.
"That's a lie."
Crosses over the few branches between them and stands in front of him. For some reason, her heart seemed to stop when he said that. Why, she didn't know. All she knew was those da** spiders were going to kill him if she left him behind, and that made her chest tighten uncomfortably.
"We both know you can't fight off those spiders by yourself."
She lowers her voice as the scraping grows nearer.
"I'm not going to leave you here to die just to save myself, no matter how stupid I sound saying it."
She smiles a little.

'Wars could be adverted with communication... ╔══════════════╗ "Celaes, we both know that I still have too much poison in my system combined with the fact that my injury was only centimeters away from being fatal. Two of us can't travel together. Maybe I could make it in my current physical condition... but the poison, it is too-" He fades off as his eyes drift closed.
The phycological damage from the poison and the Games alone was proving too much for Devault. His body couldn't function properly and he was suffering. He was dragging Celaes down with him and he couldn't live with himself if that happened... ╚══════════════╝ ...Turning animosity into admiration'

"Crap."
The venom was taking a toll on him, that much was true, but the pill should have gotten all but a small pecent of the venom out. She pulls the pack off her back and reaches for the kit. Rummaging around inside, she finds a small, dark colored bottle labeled 'anti-venom'. Whether it was for the spider or for snake bites, she didn't care. She opened Devaults mouth and placed one of the four tiny pills inside, giving him a small sip of water to wash it down.
"God I hope this works."
She packs everything else up into the pack and straps it to the branch directly above her. Reaching behind her, she pulls her bow off her back and crouches down to look below. Seeing no sight of the spiders yet, she smiles wryly at Devault's unconcious body.
"You know, I really don't care if you want me gone or not...besides. I don't think I could stand it if you went and got yourself killed."
She blushes when she realizes what she's said and is grateful he wasn't awake to hear her babbling on. Moving over to him, she squeezes his hand before stepping to the edge of the branch. The scraping sound is deafening now, directly underneath them.
"Wish me luck."
She strings up her bow and leaps off the branch into the frenzy below, landing on a slightly lower branch perfect for picking them off and jumping at the same time.

'Wars could be adverted with communication... ╔══════════════╗ Devault barely awakens. These pills were much less powerful than the ones Celaes fed him earlier. He looks around only to be severely discomforted by no sight of Celaes and the screeching sound of the spiders. He looks down and sees her battling them off. Damn her and her craziness. He grabbed his three daggers and sent two flying into the skulls of two of the spiders only to recoil in pain. He really loved these games...
