*This is similar to The Hunger Games*
Chapter One
I sit and stare at the broken tv screen wishing this would pass. My sister, Jane, is huddled in the corner worrying about her precious pup, Skip. My mother, oh my mother, is sitting at the table soundless and emotionless. I am sure she is feeling something.
Jane is yelling at my mother and now she is yelling at me. " Anne! Anne! Help me with mother, please!". What am I supposed to do? " Jane, do you see what happened? Do you understand why we can't do anything at this moment?" I am losing my patience when another boom hits.
The bombs. The bombs are destroying this town. I bet President Chaff is enjoying his view on things. After all, he is the reason for the bombings. I just wish there was some way I could destroy him. I would do anything to help my family, to help the ones I love.
The bombings have stopped for a good 35 minutes now so I head out to hunt with Liam. Liam is the Baker's son. I have known Liam for a solid 2 1/2 years. We met when I crossed the fence to hunt for food. He showed me how to catch the animal I want. Before you knew it, I was trading with the local market over the animals I have gathered.
"It's about time you got here." says Liam sarcastically. I try not to smile but I just do. "Sorry, the bombs kept me away. How'd you survive the bombs out here?" I ask him. "I didn't, I got hurt pretty bad but I'll live. So, we came here to hunt so let's do that. Meet up in 40?". "Sure."
I run off deep into the woods. I can't stand the thought of leaving Liam hurt but, I'll look at the wounds when we meet.
After 40 minutes, I meet him at the big oak tree. "Let me see your battle wounds." I say jokingly. He shows me his back and I see deep gashes. They are probably infectious. I walk to the bush by the lake to gather some medicine leaves. Then, here comes President Chaff walking from the fence.
