I opened my eyes to see daylight. At first, i didn't know where i was. I didn't know who i was. But slowly, things became clear. I stared up at a cloudy sky, trees bent to cover it. I sat up and stared around, i was in the woods still. Snapped trees surrounded me, but far to my left lay a Flier. It was burned and bent, some fire surrounded it. I stood up, my body ached and told me to lie back down but i knew i couldn't.
I walked to the wrecked and peaked inside. There was two people in the ship that i could see, both were dead. Their heads resting on the front of teh ship, they looked fine except that dry blood trickled from their ears. One of their faces i could see, and noticed that their heads was smashed in. Probably from the force of the hit. I walked away, scanning for Cinnick and Cyra. I scanned for a long time, and called their names. But couldn't see them. I walked a while around the edge, and finally heard a noise. I looked behind me and there was a women.
She glared at me, her eyes were so blood shot they looked red, ready to burst. She walked to my, not wasting any time. I could see in her eyes what she wanted to do. And it wasn't to hug me.
I began walking backwards, but my back hit the wall. Oh god, what do i do?I looked around and found a rock on teh floor, i bent down to pick it up but before i could stand back up she was on me. She wacked me across my head, knocking me to ground. I cried out and tried to looked up at her, but she punched me again.
I began to crawl away. "Little Mockingjay, no where to fly now." She said. I heard her follow me, as i crawl painfully away. "I hope you liked our presents."
"Who are you?" I coughed.
She sniggered and turned me over, and sat on me, her eyes level with my face. "I am your death Rose. I never thought i would be teh one to kill you, I'll be known as a hero." She looked so happy at the thought of killing me. Her sneer revealed blood covered teeth.
She placed her hands around my thought and began to squeeze. I don't know how to describe being choked. It was like being forced to stop the only thing that came naturally to you, like someone stopped your life line. "I want to watch the light go from your eyes." She whispeared. The ground was rough under me, and the dried leaves didn't help me trying to get her off me, my legs kept slipping.
It took me a while to realise what i had to do, probably too long. I gripped the rock tight and smashed it into her skull. The sound of a skull smashing wasn't i would forget. She wailed and fell off me. Something came over me, took over me. I pushed myself up and smashed the rock into her head, over and over. I hated what i was doing, but my body took over and did what it had to do to survive. Blood splattered all over me, but i didn't stop.
I stared at her smashed in face. Her face, a face i didn't know but would never forget. Those eyes, red, and ready to kill me. I didn't want to be this person, i didn't want to kill. I know that my parents had nightmares for years after the games, mostly reliving killing the people they had to kill. I wonder if this would happen to me now.
I stood up, and immediately vomited. My stomach heaved and heaved and eventually slowed down. I straightened and headed for the nearest tree to climb. Cinnick and Cyra wasn't here. Maybe they was back over the fence, or ran away, but they defiantly wasn't here. I was sure they would head back to the Capitol, to find me if they couldn't have found me.
I climbed for what felt like forever, when i finally got on top of the wall i stopped and stared at the city. The high buildings that once made the Capitol was gone, There wasn't much left, mostly rubble. A few building stood, but everything was grey, the smoke that rose from the scene, the grass around it. All of it grey with soot. I put my hand over my mouth.
What had happened? How was everything so ruined? I walked to the tree on the other side and began to climb down. Once i did, i started running towards the city. Scared at what i would find, but even more scared at what i wouldn't find.
Thanks for reading Everyone. I am going to leave this here for a while, i might return to the story in time, but i think this is a pretty good cliff hanger to leave you all on. I can't write a lot in the next few months as i have a lot going on, so i hope this keeps you hooked.
Review if you want me to continue!
