Chapter Ten- Allessandria Grafton
I am so hungry. I haven't had any food since the feast. My stomach growls loudly. I really hope no one is close enough to hear it. I am trudging through the woods, trying to find some food. I fall to my knees and crawl. I almost faint, but I have to keep going, for my younger brother.
I reach a point where a sheet of plastic is laying on a flat rock. On the sheet lay a plum sized blob of cheese, two apples, two rolls, and a bushes worth of midnight black berries. A slight breeze wafted the scent of cheese in my direction. I just can't resist. I sneak up to the sheet, trying to avoid any sticks or leaves. I pinch off a glob of the squishy deliciousness. I also take about twenty or so berries and head back to my hiding spot under the low overhang of two pine trees.
I nibble on the cheese until it is all gone. Then I decide to eat the berries. I swallow them whole. What happens next, well, let's just say was majorly unexpected.
As soon as I swallow, a burning pain explodes in my throat. I start coughing, and I can't stop. I try to vomit up the berries, but it's too late. The burning spreads to my chest. My mind is woozy. How could something so sweet be so deadly? I manage to make my way to the stream to gulp down water. As soon as I bring my hands full of water to my mouth, I black out. I think about my younger brother. I think, "I'm so sorry I failed I'm so sorry I didn't win. I love you." Then, I die.
My little brother, who I loved so dearly, would go onto be the only one welcoming my body home in its wooden box. He would be the only one there when I was buried. He would be in the community home watching the District 12 victors blow out the Quarter Quell arena. He would also be one of the over ten thousand children killed when the Peacekeepers opened fire for no reason. He would go on to meet me so we could live together in peace. Forever.
