We fled. Our friends were dying behind us- it was only my mother, my brother and sister, my aunt, uncle, and me. The smoke was so thick we couldn't see each other, but we kept a firm grip on each other's hands. We had lost so many already- we couldn't lose each other. We only just reached the woods when the big one comes in. A hovercraft flies overhead to our home and drops a bomb. We are all thrown forward, eating the dirt. I lose my baby brothers hand and hear him cry out, calling my name. I run to him and scoop him in my arms- he seems to have broken his leg. We run farther in the woods. We run for what seems like hours until we come to a lake. It seems as though the Capitol hasn't reached out this far. There are others here, more than I expected. I search the crowd, looking for my father and friends, hoping they made it.
"Juniper!" I call, hoping she hears me. I pray she's here. I see her bright red hair through the crowd. I run in her direction, accidentally stepping on feet as I run. My brother is still sniffling in my arms, holding his leg out.
I throw myself on her, accidentally bumping my brother's leg, causing him to cry out.
"Oh God, Junpier!" I scream when I see her face- the whole left side of her gorgeous face was burned and blistered. She'll probably never look the same again…
"Where's your family?" I ask her, trying to get her mind off of her injuries.
"They bombed our house. My Mom is dead." She sobs, wrapping her arms around me, careful of my brother.
"What about Collette and Colter?" I ask her.
"I-I-I don't kn-know! Before I-I could do anything, I grabbed Zev and r-ran. I hope they're okay!" She sobbed harder, burying her face in my shoulder. I was praying they were safe.
"I have to find my father, but I promise I'll be back here!" I say. "Take care of Linus?" I ask, handing my brother to her.
"No! No!" He screams, trying to reach out to me. "Don't go! Don't die!" He's screaming, sobbing, but I have no choice- I have to find our father.
I run off, trying to ignore the tears in my eyes. I call for my father. He had to make it! I run away from the lake to find him- he didn't like crowds much. I see a blue jacket in the distance- my father's jacket.
