District Fourteen
flash6004: You saw the five too? I have absolutely no idea what that is about…..
random she cat: I was not aware of the sheer awesomeness my story is, I'll update soon!
Cricky and Morgy 11 and 22: Dually noted, I'll make sure Melanie hunts with a bow from now on.
If any of you are confused with the characters, and they are weird and all of that stuff, well, don't complain to me. They actually exist, and they are all in my class. So, I'm making a story about people in my class, who are in district fourteen. Those are not their really names, but the letter is probably part of their name. Except for X, and Y…
This reminds me, I'll start using fuller names, except for X, Y, and V.
I look at the forest, V hasn't come back yet, but I have to worry about Jett, I sigh. What if he's dead? What if the Peacekeepers caught him? The thought poured into my mind. "Wake up X! We need to help him!" Clare reminds me, pulling him into my hut.
"Oh, yeah," I sigh, putting him on the dirt ground, as Melanie comes up behind me.
"He will be okay, right? Right?" Melanie cries, holding his head.
"I don't know," I admit, bluntly.
"I'll get some moss!" Sam says, running out of the hut.
"And marigold!" I call after her, pushing down on Jetts' wound, to make the blood stop. The blood flow gradually decreased, as I put more pressure on it. "Melanie, I need a needle and thread."
"Where am I supposed to get that?" Melanie asks, looking around.
"It's in Sams' hut," I say, still holding the wound.
"Okay!" Melanie nods, running out of the hut. She quickly returns with a thread and needle, very rare to find some here.
"Good," I say, as I started sewing up his stomach, causing Melanie to look queasy. "You can turn around if you want," I growl, as Melanie turns around. I finish and cut the wire, as Melanie pushed me away from Jett.
"Jett? Jett? Can you hear me?" Melanie asks, shrilly, kneeing besides him. "He's not breathing!"
"He's not?" I ask, frozen in fear, as I see Melanie kissing Jett. She was pumping air into his chest, then pumping it out, making him breath, making him live. Jett opened his eyes, groggily.
"What happened?" Jett coughs, trying to sit up, but was pushed back gently by Melanie.
"Ethel shot you when you were trying to save me," Melanie explains, wiping away the blood from his stomach.
Jett nods, sadly, remembering what happened. "What about after that?" He asks.
"We brought you in here, and we got you patched up," I say, feeling sorry for him.
"Will I live?" Jett asks, trying to sit up again.
"More than likely," I shrug, causing Melanie to shot a death glare at me.
"Of course you'll live, right Sage?" Melanie says, using my real name, causing me to flinch.
"Call me X, and he will live," I say, getting up.
"Where are you going?" Jett asks, looking at me.
"To find V," I respond, grabbing my knives, and my bow. Then, I headed out the door to find V. I walked through the forest, thinking he is to the North, I start walking in that direction.
"Hey X," Y greets, I swear sometimes he's trying to kill me with kindness.
"Hey Y, why are you here?" I ask, he usually didn't come this way unless it was important.
"I don't know," Y frowns, he usually isn't confused, but he appears to be now. "I just have a feeling that I have somewhere to be, like someone needs me."
"Well, of course!" I exclaim. "Everyone in sub district four needs the prey that you catch to feed them!"
"No, like someone who's in mortal danger, which absolutely needs me now," Y says, still frowning.
"You have officially lost your mind!" I say, playfully, but he remains serious. "Maybe Nelly can help you," I say, referring to my adoptive sister. Nelly is about eight, with long blonde hair and blue eyes. She's learning to be a healer, and she often knows the answer to a question no one could solve. She knows she is adopted, but acts like I'm her actual sister.
"Nah, I'll figure it out on my own," Y says, quickly, I know that Nelly sometimes freaks him out, it's funny to watch. He started to walk towards the first sub district town.
"We can't go there!" I hiss, but he ignores me and peers through the bush. There, in the middle of the town, lay Y and Sam, broken and battered. I suppress a scream, as I look at V, he doesn't appear to be alive. I fall to my knees, how could I be so stupid? V is probably dead because of me.
"X, calm down, we'll get them out of there," Y promises, squatting next to me. "But you have to help me, or else they will die," he says, getting back up, as I get up with him. The Peacekeepers surround them again. I tighten my grip on the bow, and take an arrow out of the quiver. Y holds his swords in his hands, one long sword, and the other a small dagger. I load my bow and take the first Peacekeeper down causing the others to panic.
"Come on!" I hiss, running to the town square, bow loaded as I shot another. Y follows me, killing off some Peacekeepers with his sword. I check Vs' pulse, he's alive, but barely, Sams' is a bit stronger than his. I manage to pick up V, he's lighter than he looks, and he must've been skipping meals again. Y picks up Sam, and we race into the forest.
"Is he alive?" Y pants, putting Sam down on a patch of moss besides a tree
"Yes, but not for long," I say, turning away from V for a moment, then turning back to see that V was standing up, stretching. Before anybody else could do anything, I leaped up and hugged him around the neck, causing him to stumble slightly, but he quickly started hugging me back. "I-I thought you were dead," I whisper, in between sobs.
"It will take more than a couple Peacekeepers to kill me," V whispers back, smiling, as he pulled out of the embrace, just as I did.
"Were you awake the whole time?" I ask, curiously.
"The whole time," V says, prideful, for not falling into unconsciousness like Sam.
"Wait, if you were awake, why did you make me carry you?" I inquire, suspiciously.
"Because, I didn't want to walk, it was too far!" V pouted, like a little kid.
"Come on," I say, smiling, as Sam wakes up. "We better head back," I say, as they nod, together we head back to sub district four, where we see Brandy, a girl with long black hair and brown eyes, Kyle, Melanies' older brother, scruffy brown hair, with deep blue eyes, Clare, Nelly, and Luke, a tall boy, with brown hair, and green eyes, running into sub district four, laughing.
"They weren't expecting that!" Luke says, still laughing.
"Did you see they're face?" Kyle laughs.
"What happened?" I ask, curiously.
"We stole some gauze from sub district one," Nelly explains, smiling.
"Whose idea was it?" I ask, furious.
"Mine, actually," Nelly says, proudly.
"You have to be more careful," I nearly yell.
"I was fine, why do you think I brought everybody else?" Nelly asks, crossing her arms.
I sigh; Nelly was hard to deal with, "Just promise me you'll be more careful."
"I promise!" Nelly promises, holding up her pinkie finger, and we pinkie swear, some things never change.
"Well, I'm going to check on Jett," Nelly says, walking into our hut, I follow her, I want to see how well she's doing. She gave Jett a couple poppy seeds to help him sleep, and assured Melanie that they were just poppy seeds. She finishes and walks back out.
"Good jo-," I cut off, as a loud bang rockets through the air, and Nelly falls to the ground. I run over to her, scared for her life, I glance over in the direction of where the bullet came, and there stood Ethel, lowering her gun, smirking.
