It was late at night and we were in a forest.
"Lyla, where are we going?" Lyla just shushed us and we found a car.
"Is this yours?" Ariane asked. Lyla nodded. We all piled in and she started the car and started to drive.
"Where are we and where are we going?" I asked. "Home." I huffed. "But we don't want to go there, people will slay us!" "Not that type of home." "I don't want to go there either." "Not there either…it'll be a long drive though, tell me about yourself Cinna."
I guess it could pass the time. I told her my childhood, how I met Ariane, The Hunger Games, everything. Finally we came to some sort of valley.
"Oh this is…" Ariane suddenly said once we got out and saw a house in the distance.
"Do you just leave your car in random spots and hope you can find it later?" I asked. Lyla looked at me like I was mad. I later learned that it meant, 'Of course I do, why not?'
It was early morning and the house had smoke coming from it. Ariane walked faster and soon was running. She got ahead of us but I decided to run with her. We eventually made it and she just opened the door and went in.
I saw her hug two older people. It was her mom and dad. They invited us in. I didn't know if they knew English.
"I haven't seen you in 9 years!" She exclaimed to them. They did know English.
"You've made many friends I see," Her mother said.
"Yes, this is Lyla, a childhood friend, Jez, my best friend and Cinna my fiancé." Their faces turned dazed when I was introduced.
"I'm Cinna Valkiaz, hi." They both bit their lip and asked, "What do you do for a living?" "Well I was a stylist but I have no idea what I'm going to do now in France. I'm from Panem." They had smiles on their faces now. Ariane told them about everything, my life, Jez's life and her life. I sat there eating roasted water chestnuts while listening intently.
Lyla and Jez talked privately for a few moments and then decided,
"We'll be going now." Lyla said. "But I'm not done!" Ariane said, "Just Jez and I don't worry." I frowned and ran up to Jez and hugged her, Ariane followed behind.
"Kids, I'll write." Jez said teary eyed. "Do you have to go? You can live with us!" Ariane said. "Just like I said with Cinna, people need me. Even a bigger war is happening now. I need to support my family also." She kissed our temples and Lyla and Ariane shared a hug again.
"Well wish me luck finding my car, shouldn't be too much trouble." Ariane was still clinging to Jez while Jez stroked her hair. "Visit us, okay?" I said. Jez nodded and became peppier again.
"Be good! It isn't the end, but another beginning." Jez said, "Everyday is a new beginning." Ariane said, smiling. Lyla and Jez went out the door and we watched them go down and Ariane and I watched the sunrise, together.
Sorry, this was really short! Well none of you guys are very enthusiastic... review... :)
