I'm back again! Maybe I'm pampering you with my constant updating, but I really want you to be able to read whenever you want! Review to tell me if you want more or less updating.
When I woke up, a few people were sleeping around me. Alabaster, Oakley, and Rico were keeping watch. "What happened?" I croaked in a horrible scratchy voice that was not my own. They all jumped. Alabaster turned around. "Mason killed Liza. You know that. Then you ran away screaming. Mason was already gone, so we got the food and weapons she was carrying. The hovercraft took her away. When we got back, there was vomit everywhere and you were unconscious. I moved you all the way to the Cornucopia, so you wouldn't be surrounded by vomit. We thought you lost your mind." "I did for a little while there, but I found it again," I said weakly trying to joke. "Good," Alabaster said curtly. "Listen, I'm sorry I scared you but-" "But you're only thirteen, it's not your fault. I was just... worried," he finished, "Now go back to sleep." "I'm not tired." "Fine, Oakley?" Oakley got up and moved to the sleeping area, "I'd love a nap."
"What time is it?" I asked. "About 2 o'clock," Rico answered. "Can we eat?" I asked hopefully. Alabaster said grimly, "Wait until the others get up, maybe in an hour." It was the longest hour ever. I knew Alabaster was trying to be big brotherly, but I wish he'd stop. We couldn't get anywhere with an overprotective tribute. I mean really! It was only the second day!
When everyone was up, we each got a banana and a cracker. Except Rico who ate an apple. (There were only seven bananas.) What kind of a meal is that? After discussion, we each ate a tiny bit of cheese. That would only last so long anyway.
The day is pretty lazy, eat a little, sleep a little, plan a little. By the time the anthem plays, we feel refreshed, but still willing to sleep through the night.
We see Nick and Liza in the sky. The memories flood back. The anthem plays and the sky goes dark. I fall asleep, but I'm plagued with nightmares.
I know this was short, but again, I'm waiting for reviews to update more or not.
