District 14
The Quell announcement was a quieter for the evening, even the monsters thought it was cruel to make past tributes go back to the games. John, Quinn and I walked along the town border, waiting. for what, I don't know, but we sensed something was about to happen. Bored, Quinn began to lead us back into town. Then I saw it, a hovercraft from the Capitol. Usually they wouldn't raise an alarm, being that a craft came to pick up travelers for a luxury trip to the Capitol every month, but something was different. Then I realized; the craft wasn't landing, it was shooting at the citizens.
"I hear screaming...", John announced, apparently he hasn't caught on yet.
"RUN!", Quinn hollered. We turned and ran, away from Villa, unfortunately we weren't the only ones, and there wasn't only one hovercraft. At least two were following us. As we were surrounded by a crowd of frightened people, also running for their lives, I noticed that the hovercraft was shooting nets at us, anyone who was hit was caught under a steel net which hooked itself to the ground. Once you were hit, you weren't going anywhere. I tripped. John, who was behind me, scooped me up and put me back on my feet before anyone else had the chance to trip on me. I kept running. Where was Quinn? I glanced back, didn't see him. John pulled me to the left, we made a turn that got us away from everyone else, but in a clearing with no tree cover, they could spot us easily from the sky. We kept running, I was beginning to run out of breath. Where was Quinn? I glance back again, just in time to see a net whirling at John. Without thinking, I shoved him out of the way, the next thing I knew, I was landing on my stomach, hard.
"Iris!", John yelled. He was kneeling next to me.
"Go", I told him.
"What?!", he said
"Run, save yourself", I answered.
"I'm not leaving you!"
I tried something else, "Who's suppose to save me if they catch you?"
He dodged a net, "Point made", and was gone. As I lay there, the hovercrafts flew over me. I was alone in the forest. Trapped in a steel net. I hope there's not a Minotaur nearby.
