chapter12
it feels like a thousand years before we reach it,we slide in and they close the heavy steel door.
i finally reach my parents,their sitting on the lower bunk,clutching each others hands.
just as i reach them ,the 2nd bomb hit's and we are plunged into total darkness.
there are screams,babies cry out and also an insane cackle of laughter.
the light's come back to life and president coin's voice filters through the mike's,occasionally flickering with the lights.
"it seem's that the information keri summer's possesed was very legit and was just in time,without her warning we would all be dead",she say's.
the microphone crackles and fall's silent.
"how did she know that this would happen,how,i think to myself,she's probably being pummeled to a pulp,right now.
and if she die's would that break me for good?
would i go insane like that chick called annie cresta,or would i kill myself in the bid to be with her.
we are allowed to use the toilets,collect our meals and a limited ammount of socilization,which i spend with justin and libi.
it's already been a week and everyone's already starting to show,i'm keening for the fresh air,air in the bunker is stale.
at the end of the week we are let out of the bunker and direct us to our new room's,mine is oppisite my parent's room,tom and aneisha's are on either side of mine.
i walk into the new room,it's pristine white ,with vases full of white roses.
keri loved white roses,could'nt stand red roses,they made her gag for some weird reason.
the room is tidy,clean,not a thread out of place,this seems to rub me up the wrong way.
i grab the vase nearest to me and throw it across the room,it smashes on the pristine white wall and fall's to the ground.
i pick up another and keep throwing them.
i slump to the ground,shaking with sobs,i suddenly feel a sharp pain in my wrist's,i look at them and see there bleeding,glass stuck inside the wound.
the door to my room burst's open and i suddenly feel the needle in my arm and i black out.
i wake up in hospital,my wrist's are bandaged and stitched up.
i look around and spot frank,sitting by my bed.
he has his face in his hands.
he look's up and stares at me worriedly,the lines on his face are more prominent and his eye's are tired and slightly red.
"how are you feeling?"he ask's me in a concerned voice.
"i'm fine,how long have i been here?"i ask sitting up and winching as i put pressure on my wrist's.
frank's watching me,with a worried expression on his face,"three days,after you were sedated,they pulled together a rescue team and they went to the capitol,we're still waiting for them to come back,
they might be back in a few hours or less",frank tell's smiling a little.
i sense the bitter tones in his voice and look up worridly,"frank,whats wrong?"i ask concerned.
"tom,aneisha and stella,begged to go and rescue keri,they would'nt take no for an answer",tell's me,tears filling his blue eye's.
i go blank instantly,i think of a world where tom,aneisha and stella's voice's have ceased,their eye's closed,pale skinned.
my face pale's and i feel sick,black dot's start to swim before my vision.
i lean over the other side of the bed and retch,i puke 3 time's,i'm still retching,waiting for it to come again.
but it does'nt ,i fall back onto my pillow and black out as soon as my head hit's the pillow.
