Chapter 8- The Helicopter.
"So this is the peacekeeper Katniss found in the woods." One of the soldiers snorted, "He doesn't look like a peacekeeper to me."
"Well, he was wearing the uniform when she found him apparently." The other soldier replied, "Plus Cato's sister, Louisa or something like that, confirmed that he was Tomas Gatewood."
Louisa… why did I remember that name? I must have known her.
"Is Louisa ok?" I asked before I could stop myself. I must have known her well. I guess that I was best mates with Cato, her brother, or something like that.
"Yeah, she's in 13. Her ma died trying to rescue your brother from the Capitol idiots." The first soldier replied, "And Lukas is not doing ok. I would tell you what they did to him, but the doctors in 13 said not to."
I sighed with relief. Thank heavens that Louisa was alive. I cannot remember why, but it feels like I owe her for some reason. I guess when I meet her; I can repay her for something.
Suddenly, I realised I was wearing something around my neck. It took me a moment to remember what it was- a locket. I quickly unfastened it, and I started to stare at the picture. There was a boy, surrounded by two men and two women. I guess the boy was me, but I don't remember who the rest of the people were.
"What's that?" The second soldier asked, and I showed him the picture inside. He paused for a minute, and then he exclaimed:
"I recognise that women! That's Katniss' ma! She healed me when I was wounded in a fight in District 7. How did you know her?"
I paused, trying to think. Who was I? I knew that my name was Tomas Gatewood, but I remember little else.
"We're here!" One of the soldiers suddenly cheered, "Welcome to District 13, Tomas."
I smiled. I felt safe here, secure, at home, here in the District that I was told was a nuclear wasteland. This would be the beginning of my memories coming back to me.
I followed the soldiers out of the helicopter and into the underground complex. They took me to a room, with a man sitting there. Meanwhile, one of the soldiers went to find Katniss' mother.
"Hello, Tomas Gatewood. You may sit down." The man smiled, "I am Dr Jones, and I'm your psychologist. Now, I am going to give you prompts to help you remember who you are. Understand?"
I nodded.
That was quick for me.
Firstly, thank you to all those reading this. It makes my day just to see people reading this.
Secondly, a poll might be on my profile. Please vote on it.
Thirdly, Please rate and review- it would be awesome.
Next Chapter- Hopefully Tomas may get his memories back. I might also include Lukas, though that is unlikely.
Hope you enjoyed!
