I opened my eyes and take a deep breath, one that seems to be the hardest one i'll ever take. I breath heavly as I look at the sparks around me. Obviously, there was a fire around me, but whatever was left of it was dying. I slowly sit up, resting on my sore arms, looking for my friends. I see a figure right next to me with midnight blue hair and white highlights. I crawled over and turned Zuki face up. I shook her frantically.

"Zuki! Zuki!"

She didn't move an inch.

"Gotdamnit! Wake the hell up!"

I put two finger to her neck. A pulse. A pulse! She's ok, or at least alive. I look to the side and I see Andi is already awake, hugging her legs. Her blond hair with black lowlights whipped in the air, just like the small flames. They seem to bring her some memories. Some that she never spoke of, yet then again, she never spoke of her past. She's just a kid who grew up on the highway with a motorcycle gang. Noah came over and put a hand on my shoulder.

"She's going to be ok, right?"

I gave a slight nodd, one that couldn't garentee the person is saying yes or now. "She won't be if we stay."

Noah nodded. We both picked Zuki up and walked over to Andi's side. She stodd up and smoothed out her leather skinny jeans and covered up her eyes with Candler's radiators. We began to walk away and in about fifteen minutes, we were in greenery. We stopped when we saw a gold painted road that had a sign reading

"Welcome to Panem, where paradise is garunteed!"

We looked at each other for a momment. Noah took off the top part of her gold colored jumpsuit and tied the arms around her waist. He hide her tiara under an orange baseball cap turn backside front, letting her bangs hang. Zuki woke up somewhere inbetween the walk.

"What the hell is a Panem, Izzy?" Noah asked. I shrugged, along with Zuki. Andi took off her glasses and looked around, curious.

"I'm not sure, but look over there."

We looked in the direction she pointed and stared at a sight we couldn't believe. What we saw was a rundown strip of hugh casinoes and buildings, full of palm trees and an Effel Tower.

"Isn't that what Sin City looks like?" I asked. She nodded.

"Yes, and I think that's it."

"Whoa whoa whoa, there Andiconda," Noah said. She walked up to her and looked her in the eyes.

"That's impossible. Las Vegas is Exciting and jumpy."

"Not cold and junky." i noted back. Zuki nodded. "I don't believe it's possible for Vegas to look like that."

Andi sighed and put her head in her hand. "Ok then, you guys explain it."

I was about to until we heard a swooshing sound. At first, we looked at each other for a momment of to, but when we heard it again, we ran to the bushes and looked through them.

What we saw was a shinning new city. No flying cars, but the floated on air. the elevators curved in ways that no one would think possible, and the people we oddly colored. I snapped out of the trance whe I felt someone push me. I looked over to see an angry Andi.

"Whay the hell?" I said, pushing her pack. She pointed her finger in my face.

"You lost the battle, the Ice nation won and now look. They've colored everone!"

I pushed her away from me. "Hey, respect your elders!"

She gave a mocking curtsey. "Well, I am sooo sorry, old lady, I didn't mean to break your hip." And she pushed me to the ground. I quickly picked her in the stomach and got up. We through blows at one another until the other two pulled us away from another.

"Both of you stop it! Your not helping at all."

We gave each othr dirty looks, but other than that, we pay each other no attention. Noah pulled out her KIA pad and checked the date. Her eyes got really big.

"Guys, the date is June 21, 2150. We went more than one-hunder and fifty years into the future."

They all looked at me. I bit my lip, not sure what to do not, but then it clicked.

"Don't worry. Chandler and I prepared for this."

I took out my KIA pad and began to find the map of the country.

"Guys, Irina took over the whole world. Panem is the only country, besides five others."

They sighed and walked over. Andi put her hands on her hips. "Ok, so what plan did did you and my dumb brother come up with?"

"I have to find my surviving gene, or my living family."

I searched in the name Dereaux and in less than ten seconds, directions came up for a place in a district called by the Number Twelve.

"I have to look for Karnibal Everdeen. That's where my family is."

We began to walk in that direction, but Zuki stopped us short.

"Maybe we should get some supplies first, then head out?"

We looked ar each other, we didn't want to attract any attention. We weren't sure what the future hold for our destinies, but she was right, we would need supplies.

"Fine, but only an hour. Whatever we don't have, we don't have." I say, and we head in to the last shing city we will ever see for a long time.
