Sorry I haven't been posting, it finally snowed here and I HAD to enjoy it.
Chapter 10: Dreams
The boy from District 6, that was the one who tried to kill me. It's kind of funny how irony works, the district I want to help out, I made worst. I have a feeling
they won't take the engine now that both of their tributes are dead. After his face showed in the sky, I crossed off M6 on a hard piece of clay so I could keep
track of who was gone and who was still up and around. I ran right into a heat wave; there weren't any other paths so I knew this would get ugly. I took off
my coat and put it in my backpack, then started my journey. I was hot, the deeper I went in this path, the more the temperature would increase. I heard the
rumble again, but it was very subtle, but it was constant, and non- stop. I came to the end of the heat wave, and settled in a cave right outside of that path. I
can't believe it has only been three days so far, a lot of tributes are dying fast, so the gamemakers choices are either to preserve us and make the canyon
more….habitable, or they could let us live and just preserve the last two of us. Definitely the first one, I thought as I unpacked my coat so I could sleep on it.
It was around 8 o'clock when I reached the cave. I began to drift off when I remembered to take my glasses off. I dazed off again and slept peacefully. Unlike
stories I have read I dreamt about something random. I was walking down the street when I tripped. My glasses fell off and shattered. After that, I woke up
and the sun was beginning to rise over the cliff that I was faced toward. I packed my things and started to walk. I pulled out my compass to see what direction
I was in, southwest. I heard a slight hum, knowing I was less than a mile from the boundary. I decided to go southeast since it was away from the heat wave. I
continued my journey unsure what turns to take or anything, well I guess no one does. The air suddenly got really humid and it was hard to breath in the
heavy air. That was when a rock that I hadn't seen before appeared where I was about to step. Of course, with my luck I tripped.
I fell face first, which let me just say, wasn't comfortable. My glasses weren't shattered until I tapped on the lens which made it look like a spider web. I jumped
back in surprise but luckily the glasses didn't break. I carefully took them off so it wouldn't shatter in my eye, how gross would that have been? Like I said, I am
not even close to being lucky, because at that moment the rumbling came on, and it was close to me. I threw the glasses down and made a run for it. Well
thenI had to turn around since I turned out to be going near it. I am so confused! Any direction I go in, the rumbling is there. I decided to continue going
southeast. I looked at the sky behind me and it was whirling in a circle. I had no time to examine it so I kept running. The gamemakers must really want to get
rid of me.
After I thought I was far enough from it. I went back to my deep breaths since I was still in the humid section. Not only do the gamemakers want to get rid of
me and that I am in the humid area again, I am officially, legally blind. I couldn't see 6 feet ahead of me without it being blurry I felt my way around, but I would
keep running into the canyon. It has been 4 days but it feels like a million. I know for one thing, that in a 3 days, the feast will be back at the cornucopia, I
won't go. I climbed up a little on the canyon on a platform that would serve as a resting place for me. No one died today.
The next morning I woke up like it was any other day in the arena, except I was glasses –less. I was tired so I decided to sleep in. That is not the best idea in
the arena but I needed my rest. By the time I woke up again, I used my sundial, it was 12 o' clock pm. Wait…..if the gamemakers hadn't done anything to draw
me close with other tributes, then….oh no.
