The reviewer thingie lives again! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA! It's a bit of an odd chapter….
District One
Jason Manning
The world moved in slow motion. I watched as the flies wings beat slowly as it took off from Shadows startling black hair. I reached my hand out and snatched it out of the air before it could get away.
The world ticked…ticked..and then jumped back to normal speed.
"Whoa! What the heck?" Shadow she said, her body disappearing for a moment as she jerked her head back.
"The fly was bothering me." I said looking into her…er…. something color eyes. "Your eyes are shifting again."
"Oh, sorry." She said and her eyes reverted to their usual color again. "I don't really notice when I go all camo." The warm sun beat down on us. God, it was good to be outside again; Where it was warm. Unlike the unnaturally freezing building. I hate air conditioning; it's either not enough or to much, so it's better to not have it.
"It's okay babe," I said, wrapping my arms around her. "Your beautiful in any color."
"Thanks, Jay." She said and leaned against me. We sat, leaning against the base of the biggest tree. The other tributes talked pleasantly among themselves, laughing, joking, and just being regular teens.
How were we going to kill them? A lot of these people I would be friends with outside of this city and back in the districts. Sure, there would have been a few exceptions, but mostly these were nice people that were in the reaping bowl one to many times. "Jason?" Shadow said.
"Yeah?"
"We're aren't going to kill anyone, are we?"
"We'll try not to." i replied. She seem pleased by this answer. "But if time comes, I'll kill someone before I let them touch you."
"Ditto. I can't stand the thought of loosing you when I've only just got you."
Shadow and I had actually met a few years before these games. We were both at a friends birthday party and the parents ditched us halfway through. So, naturally, they started a game of truth or dare. And, also naturally, when it was my turn I chose dare; The dare turned out to be kissing a girl named shadow. Funny how life works out.
"Jason and Shadow sittin' in a tree, K I S S I -"
"Shut up Lilith." I said acidly. Shadow smacked my arm.
"Be nice." She said as she looked up into the tree above us and glared at the climbing Lilith. "You be nice too. We've already asked for privacy."
"Oooohhh…. Privacy. What are you planning on doing?" She waggled her eyebrows at us mischievously.
"We're making out. Wanna watch?" I yelled up. Liliths face twisted in disgust a moment before I actually said anything. Weird…I dismissed it though.
"No thanks. On second thought, there seems to be another tribute that needs bothering over yonder." She jumped out of the tree and sauntered off in Zachs direction.
"She has issues."
"Agreed." Shadow said as her skin darkened with the setting sun. The sky was covered with bright yellows and reds that made the mood of the roof go from jazzed to more mellow. The other tributes settled down on the artificial grass of the roof in small pairs. A few went inside, but mostly all of us just sat around in the still warm grass. Slowly, one by one, the other tributes drifted off into sleep, leaving Shadow and I alone to gaze up at the stars.
District 12
Karilenn Cordal
"GET UP!" Someone bellowed angrily. My eyes snapped open to the bright lights of the roof. I sat up quickly and saw twenty three guards surrounding all of us….us. I just thought of the other tributes as friends. I immediately thrust the thought out of my head. I'm here to win. I'm here for my brother. "You are required to return to your quarters for the remainder of the night and report to training in the morning. During lunch you will receive the punishment the president deems worthy for this minor rebellion.
Rebellion?
"What do you mean rebellion?" Arte…. the boy from district four said. I had to keep myself detached from these people if I was going to win.
The guards didn't say anything more; They just motioned angrily for us to board the elevator by district. What rebellion? Then it dawned on me. We were all on the roof together. We weren't making each other into enemies…we were making ourselves into friends. We were uniting the districts in a way that hadn't ever happened before. Of course district two was kinda scarce… but that was expected.
Cam and I were the last tributes to board the elevator, being the last district. The elevators closed and we descended about a six levels and reopened at our floor.
As I said, weird chapter. Don't worry Marigold Dove, I'll continue Karilenns section next chapter.
I did this to my self, but After this story I'm going to right a what if story about what would have happened if the roof top went slightly differently. Bet you guys can't guess what it's going to be :D
