A/N: Hey guys! Sorry that I haven't been updating but I have been really busy. Beginning of day #5. 10 tributes left.
I slowly padded after Basil,my thoughts still on the strange girl from district twelve. What did she mean by killer monkeys? How did she know who I was? I shot a smile at Basil, hoping he would say something to clear my cluttered head. He had seemed to know who the girl from twelve was, and what she meant.
"Basil-"
"Sylvie-" We both said at exactly the same time. I laughed awkwardly. I gestured for him to say his thoughts first.
"Sylvie, I just wanted to tell you that you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen and...and" He seemed lost for words. "When I pulled you out of that building, I thought you were dead." Wow. Here I was about to interrogate him about some dead girl while he is pronouncing his love for me. I felt lost for words. My mouth opened and closed like a goldfish, things to say flashing through my head.
"Thanks" I finally sputtered. That was lame! I am horrible at this romantic stuff! He didn't seem to think it was lame though because he slipped his hand in mine. A smile creeped on my lips and my cheeks burned. I realized that everyone I knew was watching me right now. Heck, pretty much everyone in the world was watching me right now! We continued on for a couple more hours until midday. The sun was a giant burning circle scorching my skin and eyes. We settled down on a couple rocks to eat. My feet were aching from walking and my stomach was yearning for food.
I immediately dug in, shoving as much food as I dared into my open mouth. After a little while I began to feel drowsy. My eyelids fought to stay open. All too soon Basil stood up signifying that we should continue. With a heave, I threw myself off of the rock. My knees immediately buckled and Basil leaped forward, managing to catch me before my head smashed open on the concrete. I finally let my eyes flutter closed.
I woke up to a searing pain in my right hand. My eyes fell on a bloody knife a few feet away from me. I gasped as I realized who was holding that knife.
A/N: Dun dun dun. Think you know who is holding the knife that injured Syvlie? Write your answer in the review box and if it is correct, I will give you a shout-out! Hint: it is no one that you will expect! As always review! End of day #5. 10 tributes left.
