Woah! Two chapters in one day! I'm kind of sad because Solar is my baby and I don't want her to die. I killed Jacky because I couldn't write as him without losing my mind!!!! So he dead. And Rhia, she was kind of a pain. But onwards.
Solar's PoV:
In the soft sunrise, I think about last night. The cannon. And an unnamed face floating in the air. That's no use, Solar. No wallowing in the past. Time to think about the present.
I grab a strawberry from the bushes that surround me. I grab my blades. That mutton I killed on the first day hasn't been eaten entirely. What day is it? I wonder. I imagine the birds flying, flying, flying. And one of the birds looks familiar. Like one of the tributes. Like Rhia. Wait, that is Rhia! But a bird. I see it soaring, its amber coat catching the light like her hair always did. I remember when the cannons rang for her death, a voice said her final wish was granted. And her wish was freedom. That was beautiful. I wish I knew who the winner was. But I can't time travel. No one can. But if I could...
I would travel to a time when the Hunger Games have been abolished and everyone is free.
But I can't. I learnt the difference between want and need long before. And what I need is to stay alive for a little longer.
