PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!! Pretty please with a cherry on top?
Found Again.
"Do you want to share with me, what you got?" Zaynn shivered.
I stared at my ring and then back up at Zaynn with a frown.
"It's not good?" He mumbled.
"It is. It's a sign that my parents are alive but something's wrong with my sister." I muttered.
Zaynn came closer to me, about to brace me with a hug, but I scattered off the rock I was sitting on and grabbed the rabbit, pulling the legs over my shoulder.
"We should eat this quick before it goes bad." I said with my back towards him, as I began the way back to the campfire.
BAM, BAM!
I snapped around and looked at Zaynn.
"Who do think that was?" I asked, questioning the cannon.
"I have no clue, I've never really met any of the Avoxes. It's hard to meet them when there are Soldiers surrounding the Capitol watching your every move." He chuckled.
I nodded my head in agreement.
"I've never met any Avoxes except for an acceptation when there was another Avox helping me out with one of the Tributes I was tending to." I explained, returning his smile.
Suddenly Zaynn stopped in place, sticking his ear out.
"Come on, I heard nothing." I examined.
"Shh." He hushed.
I rolled my eyes and stood in my place straining my ear, hoping to hear what he does.
"Move!" Zaynn commanded.
Without thinking, I turned my head to look at what was the commotion, but it was too late.
A small girl was standing with a bow and arrow pointed directly at me.
She looked so familiar.
Her hair was the same colour as mine; red, with indigo/blue eyes to match.
She looked exactly like I had when I was thirteen…
AMELIA!
My sister's name was screaming inside my head. I wanted to yell at her, be mad! But at the same time awe washed over me. How is she an Avox? How is she still alive?
She shot the bow and arrow but I moved quickly enough that it only sliced my shoulder, instead of my back.
My hand, automatically reached for my shoulder.
Blood, lots of blood.
I looked back at Amelia who just stood there looking at me, like she remembered me.
How could she not tell it's me?! I screamed at myself.
Zaynn drew a knife from his pocket.
"You're going to pay-"
"NO! ZAYNN DON'T! THAT'S AMELIA!" I screamed.
Zaynn looked at Amelia and then back at me.
He nodded his head and put away his knife, returning it safely into his pant leg.
I looked back at Amelia, who's eyes were filled with astonishment along with hope and I could tell that she remembered me.
She dropped her bow and arrow and came running over towards me, like when we were little kids.
"Oh, Penelope, I'm so sorry." She cried into my shoulder sobbing loudly, making it almost impossible to comprehend.
I returned her hug just as tightly, even though my shoulder was in agonizing pain.
"I didn't know it was you! Please forgive me!" She cried loudly.
I broke our hug and looked her in the face.
She was beautiful, more beautiful then I ever was at the age of 13.
She wasn't only sad but she was scared and I knew why. I mean, what thirteen year-old girl wouldn't be afraid to die?
"Don't say that." I whispered.
She looked at me for a moment and stopped sobbing, signalling for me to continue.
"I'm the one who's sorry. I left you when you needed me most. I was selfish, Amelia. So, I'm sorry." I said, choking on my tears.
"It's okay. I got better in a week after you left." She said, through her chattering teeth.
She must be freezing!
I unzipped my coat, and I watched her face go uneasy, wanting me to keep the jacket on but at the same time, wanting it for herself.
As soon as I passed her my coat, Zaynn's was in my face.
"Oh no," I declined.
"Come on, please. Take it for me." He shot me his puppy dog eyes so I sighed and took his jacket, slipping it on.
"That really points you out. That's how I found you guys." Amelia declared, pointing at the neon jacket.
"So, who are you?" Amelia pointed towards Zaynn.
"Oh right, sorry! This is Zaynn. Zaynn this is Amelia, my sister, as you know." I introduced.
They shook hands.
"So you guys are allies?" She questioned.
"A bit more then that…but you got the right idea." He smiled at me, and I returned it.
I got up from the ground and straightened out my legs, the pain from my shoulder shooting out like fireworks.
"Let's go to our campsite and cook this rabbit." I gleamed, showing off our rabbit.
"Um, I have some meat too." Amelia blushed, as she retrieved her back pack and unbuckled the buckles, reaching in.
And out came seven pinemartens and one rabbit.
"How did you..-" Zaynn began,
"I have practice." She smiled.
I flashed her a smile and we began our way back to our campsite.
"So…Penelope how come you're an Avox?" Amelia asked, politely.
"I stole some grain from a district and because I was living off of different districts," I said dully.
"You?"
"Well after I got better I went into the forest to get some herbs, you know, to make mom and dad better, but when I was out looking for some I spotted your family ring! So…I quickly ran home and delivered the herbs and then went back into the woods. I got caught in District 3 when I killed somebody by giving them bad food." She explained.
Then very quiet and softly she whispered,
"I missed you, Penelope."
