Orchard Shay, District 11 Female- I'm lucky. I am alive. Unlike 10 other people, who have died in the last two days. I keep my eyes closed, eager for more sleep, thinking of yesterday. I escaped narrowly from the careers yesterday, when the boys from 1 and 2 caught up to me. But luckily the boy from 2 wasn't even holding his weapon, and the boy from 1 wasn't quick enough. He'll be one of the first dead. Hopefully I'll beat him. A little girl from 11 beating a Career. What a nice thought.
I finally open my eyes and start to get ready for the day. I'm curled up at the top of a building in the ruins. I wanted to head straight for the trees, but I got the feeling it would be more dangerous. From the Cornucopia I got some Rolls and an apple, and some water. I somehow also got a knife and I spent yesterday practicing to throw it. I want to explore the ruins, because some of the buildings are still standing, and I think some of them will have things in them. I climb out of my hidey hole and grab my small rucksack. I explored downstairs yesterday, and there was nothing. I go out of the house clutching my knife, and run quickly into the next house. Inside it is dark and gloomy, with only one small window. There are Crumbly steps leading to another floor. There are some little bugs crawling about but I recognise them from District 11. I quickly look around the first floor and there is nothing there. Then I sneak up the Crumbly stairs and look around. There is a bed, with thin sheets on it, and a small lumpy mattress. At least I have a place to sleep tonight. There is also a cupboard. I go over to the Cupboard and Open it. There is a spider web inside, but I push it out the way. I don't mind spiders. Inside the Cupboard there is a small box. I pull out and jump on the bed. Inside there is some apples, a bottle of water, and some Iodine Tablets for purifying water. There is also A knife. Its small and rusty, but it will do its Job.
I sit down on the bed. I am set for the arena. But I just want to go home. I miss mum and dad, and I don't want Damien to die. I don't want to kill anyone. I don't want to be here. I want to go home. I want to live, I want to celebrate my next birthday, I just want to go home. Then I force myself to get up and go downstairs and go into another house. There is nothing in the next house, but there is a lot of rope in the third. It is getting dark, so I go back to the house with the bed and curl up. I am tired after another day in the arena. There have been no cannons today, no faces in the sky. I curl up and go to sleep under the thin sheets.
Yes this Chapter is really bad :D I'm sorry for how bad it is and how short. Reviews? Maybe?- Skywitch xo
