Hunger games part 9
I gritted my teeth as I took another step, jarring my ankle and my wound.
At least it was downhill.
"Almost there" she called over her shoulder.
"That's what you said an hour ago" I muttered under my breath.
The slope was starting to even out into a forest again, but as I was so focused on my pain I didn't notice. Even when we stopped in a small clearing with a cabin I didn't notice until I almost tripped over her.
"We're here" she said.
I grunted and hobbled over to the doorway.
"We don't have a lot of time before they find our trail again. You need to fix yourself up."
I fell into a small wooden chair and looked at my injury. It was oozing puss and thick clotted blood again.
"I need more bandages, and something to call you." I said, I added in that last part because I could t remember her name from the trials.
She tossed a role of bandage tape at me as I started to unroll the cloth I had wrapped it with.
"Call me Ellen"
I nodded then winced as I pulled a scab off.
She was starting a small fire in the furnace as I cleaned the wound out.
"Did you tear anything with that?" She asked over her shoulder
"No, I can still move it, hurts like hell though."
"I think the hurting is normal" she said dryly. She had the rabbit over flames now.
I grunted. "Wake me up when that's done." I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
