What am I doing.

The elevator was going up swiftly to its destination: the roof

I'm letting my guard down... I don't even know this girl

6, 7, 8,

I can't trust her... Trust nobody...

9,10,11

With all my might I jam my fist into to the 11th floor button, causing the door to open, leaving me face to face with the startled district 11 tribute. Causally , I press the close button. With the elevator idle, I stand there attempting to recollect my thoughts.

What am I doing? She was so nice... No, I'm letting my guard down!

I felt like I was at war with myself, until the thoughts of my dad came up. I had hated him my whole life. I thought he was a murderer. He hung my mother for some reason he never told me about, but he never mentioned the choice. A choice? Me or my mom... What happened?

I realized I had been zoned out for a while, and gently pushed the 2 button, and slowly the elevator pulled me back to my cushy prison. My last day of training is tomorrow, and I have to be at the top of my game. No more distractions.

But in the back of my mind, a little voice was saying

"What if she is trustworthy? What if she just wanted to be my friend..."

No. Not again.

When I stepped out the elevator, I came face to face with Charlie, who had a similar surprised expression that the 11 boy had. Without a glance, I push past him and step into my room. My mind was still buzzing with thoughts of Sarah, like an endless highway.

Trust her? Trust her not?

Why was this bothering me so much... The question lingered in my mind as I forced my self into sleep.

My dream was one I'd never forget. I was standing in a shimmering green field that seemed to never end. I could see myself, as if I were outside my body. I was wearing a flowing light pink dress with a lustrous silver pattern. I looked beautiful, but something caught my eye. On the ground, a blood red dagger appeared next to me. I go to pick it up, and as my hand grasps the blood stained metal, all the grass in the field dies, turning into a dark brown. The clouds above my head turn black, enclosing me in endless darkness, and my dress, my beautiful dress, became tattered and ripped and turned to a terrifying red that matched my dagger.

"Why! What did I do? Where are you!" I could hear myself screaming this into an empty abyss.

" I'm right here," said a calming voice from behind.

I turn around and can't believe my eyes.

"Mom?"

" Aubri. My gorgeous baby. Come here."

Something about her voice was... Scary. It wasn't sweet, it was eerie. But I went up to her anyways, dagger still in hand. But as I approach her, I realize it wasn't my mother. I immediately started to panic.

"Who are you?" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

I tried to run, but the wind pushed me to my knees. The dagger fell in front of me. The woman walked over to me.

"The question is WHO ARE YOU? Where did the sweet girl go? Why has this killer replaced her? So filled with anger, craving revenge, you have become a monster." She snarled.

I began to cry. I wanted to get up a d run away, but I couldn't. The women snatched the dagger from the ground and pointed it at me, accusingly.

"Find yourself. You will never be happy until you realize who you are. Until then, you are nothing!" She thruster the dagger deep into the ground, and the earth began to fracture. Until it caved in beneath me. As I fall, I could hear myself murmur my last words.

"I'm sorry."
