When Lucy Gray says "I am not district" what she means is I am Covey. I had a culture, I had a people. You stole it from me. I will not allow you to erase it, I will not let you make me forget who I really am, I refuse to be what you say I have to be.

When Snow says "Lucy Gray isn't really district" what he means is unlike all those others in the districts Lucy Gray is practically a person. Lucy Gray is so much better than everyone else in the districts could ever hope to be. Lucy Gray is just about human.

Yet Snow is under the impression they are saying the same thing.

a soft sigh of relief escaped her lips as coriolanus told her that he found her better than billy taupe. it wasn't difficult to be better, but typically, especially when they were dating, lucy gray was lumped in with billy taupe. if he'd done something wrong, they both did something wrong. it was frustrating. ❝ my dad would have been tough on you at first, but i think he'd also warm up to you. he wanted what's best for me when he was alive. ❞ she told him, giving a half-smile. lucy gray missed her family a great deal, often wondering if they would be proud of the person she was now. she felt as if all she'd done as of late was make mistake after mistake. it was difficult, but now she may have been on the right path being with coriolanus. he actually had a direction in life he wanted to go. ❝ though if you ever meet maude ivory, she is hard to win over. she'll ask you a million questions to make sure you're good enough for me. ❞

❝ but don't worry, i will only use my charm on you, i'm not like that two-timing greasy taupe, ❞ lucy gray informed him, voice sweet like honey as she nudged his foot again after feeling his nudge hers. though the two were from different statuses, the brunette felt she could be herself around coriolanus. maybe that came from the fact that they hadn't liked one another before this-- or, at least that's how it had appeared, but she truly did think she could just let loose. she hoped he felt the same way around her, that he could also be himself in ways he didn't think he could be with others. ❝ i wish that you'd had the chance to meet my momma. she would have loved you, ❞ she admitted in a small voice. her mother had been friends with billy taupe's parents, so she knew billy taupe well. lucy gray was sure though that her mom would love coriolanus if she got to meet him.

❝ i don't care, i want you to get away from me ! ❞ lucy gray didn't care about making any kind of scene, she never cared about what people thought of her. as he said the only reason he wasn't letting her escape was because they had a child growing inside of her, the brunette scoffed. ❝ yeah ? and what about when you dragged me back here before we knew ? what was that, huh ? you were never going to let me go. ❞ she told him, kicking him in the shin. she was pissed off, mostly angry at herself for thinking she could trust a capitol boy. ❝ i want to see the covey. let go of me, coriolanus snow or i swear to god i'll scream. ❞ she wasn't above it, if it meant he'd let go of her.

anger coursed through lucy gray as he grabbed her again, blocking her vision to where she wasn’t able to see where she was headed. ❝ let go of me, coriolanus snow ! i don’t want to be anywhere near you ! i hate you ! ❞ she was thrashing, using any method she could to get away from him. ❝ i’m not being a threat, i’m trying to get away from a threat — you. ❞ she informed him, clenching her jaw so tightly that she would potentially ruin a tooth if she weren’t careful. she hated him. lucy gray couldn’t believe there’d been a time when she thought they were meant to be. that was gone now, she felt like a prisoner, trapped now because of the child inside of her. his child. she knew it linked them together forever, and she hated it.

❝ i suppose you're right about that. i just wish i'd seen sooner how awful he was. it would have saved a lot of trouble. ❞ catching billy taupe with mayfair had been heartbreaking. coriolanus's words had her blushing, eyes locked to his for a moment as the waitress came over. she gave her order to the older woman before handing over her menu. the brunette's focus turned back to the blonde after the waitress walked away, a grin spreading across her face, thankfully having recovered from the moment before. ❝ guess i'm just that charmin', aren't i, gorgeous ? ❞ she winked at him as she nudged his foot under the table.

"How did you get here?"

❝ i escaped. ❞ was all lucy gray gave as an explanation to the other. she didn't trust anybody anymore, not after him. coriolanus had been somebody she thought she could trust and then he'd gone and lied to her. ❝ where am i exactly ? ❞ the brunette had been running for days now, not stopping until she was as far away from district twelve as possible. her brows furrowed as she looked around, squinting. she didn't recognize her surroundings, not immediately anyway. it certainly wasn't twelve, which she was thankful for. being on the run took a lot, but she knew that it was vital for her to stay alive.

she wondered how long it had been since she actually started running to get away, how long she'd gone without actual food or drinkable water. she was used to living this way, but it was still a struggle nonetheless. she had to stay low, so performing for any sort of food was out of the question. would people recognize her from the games ? she wasn't sure.

open starter for anybody ; set in the scream universe, lucy gray is a final girl. <3

lucy gray's hands were shaking as she watched her best friend's body fall to the floor. eyes remained wide as she urged herself to run, feet starting to move before she could even think about it. she wasn't sticking around to fight the killer in the mask, she needed to get out, especially considering her arm was bleeding from her own stab wound. her friend was a goner, there was nothing she could do but survive. she knew that going elsewhere in the house wasn't a good idea, so she ran out the back door, going as fast as her feet would take her. holy shit, she thought as she reached the home of her other close friend, pounding on the door until they opened it, practically falling into their arms in tears. ❝ i-- can i stay here with you tonight ? we -- she's -- ❞ the fear had her unable to actually spit out what had happened. it was terrifying, the thought of a ghostface masked killer being out there. she'd only seen one, so maybe they were working alone. that was her hope anyway. one would be easier to catch, right ? she hoped that the police had arrived on the scene now, since she'd called them when the killer first entered the home. lucy gray was praying that they would somehow be able to save her friend, the friend she'd left dying on the floor. the ring of a phone startled her, hand immediately reaching to stop them from answering. ❝ don't. it could be the killer. ❞ she said quickly, eyes full of panic.

Now what was he to do with her? She resembled just as much of a wild animal as the animals in the woods. Untamed, unable to control, he hated it. "You can't stop me, Lucy Gray. I'm their father. You can't take that away from me." Grip staying firm, but not firm enough when she rips away from him. "There's no point in running." She's insane if he thinks he'll let her just get away, running right back after her, trying to snatch her arm again. "Then fine, maybe I'll have to assert the same methods and logic since you're out to kill me now. And you... you're being a threat now." Saying it ominously, placing his hand over her eyes so she can't see where she's going to slow her down.

lucy gray glared as he quoted her again, jaw clenching tightly as she tried to remain calm. ❝ you are not going to be coming near us. ❞ the brunette said angrily as she tried to pull her wrist away again. ❝ if it came down to it, i would. if i deem you a threat to my child, i would. ❞ she told him, yanking her wrist from his grip, running in the direction she hoped the other covey members would be. if she found them, surely she could get away from coriolanus. the covey was her family, they'd help her with the baby. she didn't need to be in the capitol with coriolanus. she didn't need to marry him. and she wouldn't.

“That’s what you said, it wasn’t me. You said I’m yours, you’re mine and it’s written in the stars. I’m just quoting you.” Quoting her own words once again. “I’M their father. So I am going to be near you and our baby. You can’t get away with that,” he scoffs, starting to grow furious under his semi collective nature, “I’m a peacekeeper. I’ll just order you not to keep my child away from me. Stop—” Running from him. Picking up his own pace in fear she’ll somehow outrun him despite it being true, he grabs hold of her wrist once he’s close enough, “You would do that, Lucy Gray? Kill me with a snake and leave our child without a father, leave them to never meet their father? You would commit murder?” Questioning her just to press her for the answers, he didn’t believe she had it in her to kill him at all. But it was nice to point out what kind of things she was saying.

// happy new year!!! i’ve been sick for like a week now yippee.

[songbirdreaped]

lucy gray despised the way he was trying to control her. she had to keep from working herself up too badly, but he was so aggravating. ❝ i am not yours. i am nobody's but myself. i don't want you near me or my baby. ever. ❞ she told him, the anger evident on her face at him calling her that. the brunette sped up more, clearly trying to get away from him and dodge him. ❝ careful or the next snake i find might just be venomous. ❞ the threat was empty, knowing she couldn't harm him, not with the mayor already on her case and coriolanus being a peacekeeper.

"You have lost your mind. I'm not going back to the capitol alone, not when you are pregnant and I'm a father now." Saying flatly, about to stop and refrain from speaking any more and drag her there without another word. "But you didn't, because you forgot it was me who kept you safe. You're mine, I'm yours... remember," he reminds her of her words, "I'll continue to keep you safe." The blond promises, growing agitated having to pick up his speed after her. Feeling like she's just trying to bail on him again. "What? Lucy Gray Snow."

there i was again tonight. forcing laughter, faking smiles. same old tired, lonely place. walls of insincerity, shifting eyes and vacancy vanished when i saw your face– all i can say is, it was enchanting to meet you. | a cowboy and his songbird. william h. bonney & lucy gray baird.

[songbirdreaped]

❝ you can go back to the capitol, nobody is stopping you, coriolanus. i want to stay here where i know best. the capitol isn't where i belong. you realize the capitol is the reason i almost died, right ? i could have died in the games. ❞ lucy gray stopped dead in her tracks and argued, her fingers curling into a fist as she tried to keep her cool. after a moment, she continued on her path, rolling her eyes at his words. ❝ we do not have to and i refuse to. don't call me that. ❞ she groaned in frustration as she picked up her speed, attempting to get to maude ivory faster while losing coriolanus.

"You forget it's NOT an option." Jaw grinding, it taking so much to deal with such an unbearable girl. "By some chance. I bet not all of you, I bet a lot has died from this form of living. There isn't even going to be a doctor in the middle of the woods, there won't be food, warmth in the winter or any prosperous living... and we can't stay in twelve. You're being reckless and choosing to be potentially being killed by the mayor, you and our child. So I simply am not allowing you to make these reckless choices, endangering us ALL." he corrects, truly believing to himself that it's not control. Both of them will thank him one day, that he was such a doting, protective father from the beginning. He needs this child convinced, that he isn't a monster and that they'll look up to him. Obsessive with ensuring that, even. The type of father he didn't have and being the opposite is every bit of his goal, just to prove Lucy Gray wrong about what she said because of course.. he never forgets things like that. "Well, I can't trust you. So continue walking Lucy Gray and stop acting like a spoiled brat." he scolds, in disbelief this is what he'll have to put with for a wife. What did he get himself into? A life long headache of raising two children?

lucy gray clenched her jaw tightly, glaring at him. ❝ you just can’t wrap your head around the thought that some people don’t have to live in the capitol to thrive and survive. ❞ she accused, clearly angry at the way he was insulting her people. ❝ news flash : most of the covey died because of peacekeepers, guess you’re not the only corrupt one. ❞ she huffed as she ignored the rest of his words, already starting to make her way toward where she knew at least maude ivory would be. ❝ sorry i can’t hear you, i don’t speak annoying. ❞ she didn’t care how ridiculous she sounded, the brunette thought he sounded more ridiculous with the way he wouldn’t let her see her family. ❝ by the way, i refuse to marry you. you can’t marry me when i’m unwilling like this. ❞
