You know what's a good and sad little movie? Forest Gump. Anyways here's chapter 7!
Katniss's POV
We both look over at the gates opening. What enters through it is not what I expected to see. Or did I?
A tall girl dressed in rags covered in blood and who knows what turns to look at us and crosses her arms. I look up at her face to see the white face paint splattered all over the place, to the hollowed out eyes, to the skeleton like face drawn over her lips an mouth. I examine the rest of her body to see that she is holding a tattered and dirty teddy bear. The girl looks about my age, so it unsettles me to see that it looks like she's been dragging the bear through who knows what her whole life. She points at the door, stomps her foot and growls.
"Out!" she says firmly.
A security guard with a flashlight walks in.
"Yeah you guys gotta get out."
He acts like its completely normal to be standing beside a girl who should clearly be in an insane asylum.
"Um yeah, we were just on our way out. We just um got a little lost."
Peeta and I swiftly walk out of there.
"What was that all about?" I ask Peeta hysterically.
"Um," but before he can say more he cut off at another mental girl snapping at him like a dog. She's dressed in rags and has face paint on as well. It takes me a moment to realize she's being pulled back by an actual dog leash. Peeta and I take one look at each other and book it.
Alexa's POV
We both try that ball throwing game. I don't know of Cato can realize that I'm only trying half-ass, but I limply throw the ball and it lands nowhere near where it should be. After we both try and fail we walk back to the place where our group separated. As we walk I can't help thinking how horrible of a day this has been. First I embarace myself in front of Peeta and his friends by failing at an aerial, then I have to embarace myself again at the restraunt by pretending I got food stuck in my gum. Then I had to talk to Cato after awkwardly encountering him at that Starbucks. Of coarse he had to diss cheer. My favorite sport. That instantly put him on my 'go die in a hole' list. Then I had to sneak around Playland with Peeta, and go on rollercoasters and rides! Of coarse that made me feel sick to my stomach, but being me I tried not to let him know about it so I wouldn't ruin his night. I even kissed him so I could keep his night from getting bad. But then he just had to ruin my night by absolutely forgetting about me once he met up with Katniss. So basically I used my everything to make sure he was having an all right night to just end up getting dumped. And I don't even date the guy! This is just another lesson telling me I need better friends who will do things for you as well instead of just leaving you hanging with someone you despise.
"Um, where are they?" Cato asks. This stops my train of thought. While he's looking the other way I quickly look behind the green fence to see that the two we're looking for aren't there. Oh wonderful.
"Um okay let's not panic, they're probably at, um. Asylum! They probably went there to save a spot in line." I guess as we walk in that direction.
When we arrive at the haunted house they're nowhere to be seen. They better not have ditched us, I say to myself.
"Um here let me call Peeta," I get out my phone.
Ring. Ring. Ring.
No answer,
Ring. Ring. Ring.
Still, no answer
Ring. Ring. Ring.
I'm about to give up when a hysterical Peeta answers.
"Alexa!" he screams at me.
"Um, where are you?" I ask quizzically, "We went to go play the game and when we got back you weren't there!"
"Uh yeah about that, well we were um, just hanging out behind the fence, when all of a sudden this crazy mental chick pops out and tells us to get out! So we got out of there when another crazy mental chick pops out at us being pulled on a leash by another mental chick! So of coarse Katniss and I got the hell out of there and we were in the same area as the pirate ship when - AUGH!"
"Peeta?" I yell, "Peeta? Are you all right? What's going on? Can you here me?"
I hear a slight low baritone whine through the phone and start to get an idea of whats happening.
"Jeeze! Ugh we keep getting chased and uh oh-"
The line went dead.
I chuckle to myself.
"Come on Cato, I know where they are."
We turn in the direction to go to the pirate ship when a girl on a leash jumps in front of us. It's the girl Peeta explained about.
I jump up and scream, Cato goes "holy crap,"
We run a bit of the way to the ship when we stop to slow down.
"Oh no the actors are out," I groan.
"Oh Ahah, great," he replies.
We arrive at the pirate ship and the couple are no where in sight. We walk around it a couple of times but see no sign of the two. A loud baritone whine makes us snap our heads around.
"Oh no! It's the chainsaw guy!" I scream. We take off running.
I mean no matter how brave you are a guy chasing you with a chainsaw is gonna make you run, even if he's just an actor. He quickly stops his pursuit and goes to hunt other pray. We stop running when Freddy Kruger starts chasing us. We turn around and take off back in the direction we came from.
We run head first right into a familiar couple.
BAM!
"Peeta?"
"Cato!"
"Katniss?"
"Alexa!"
We all help each other up.
"So, uh what's up?" I say casually.
"Uh, what's up? Well aside from the fact that we got chased down by some crazy mental chicks and a guy with a chainsaw, uh, what the fucks going on!"
I look at Cato. We both start laughing.
"What? You think those guys are real? Haha they're just actors…"
"You're kidding," replies Katniss.
"Oh jeese you guys," says Cato "up for another ride?"
I start shaking my head. The others are more than enthusiastic. Great.
We head over to enterprise. Along the way we get chased by a huge guy with a machete.
"You're kidding. This ride?" Katniss says.
"You mean you don't want to go on it?" Asks Peeta.
She shakes her head.
"Yes! I'm finally not the only one who doesn't want to go on a ride!" I shout.
"Oh really? Well how about we split up. You guys can go on this ride while Alexa and I can go do something else! Like a haunted house?"
"Yeah that sounds great! Ok let's go!" and with that we walked away.
