its been a couple days now in these lonely holes and its felt like a life time
theres been a lot of silences and no one has really talked
all of sudden out of no where there is a siren going off, it sounds like its from the other side of the capitol
"what the hell is that" noah says walking over to the window where everyone stands
"i have no idea" I reply
as we just stand there looking out to the capitol trying to figure out what is wrong the siren grows louder and louder, soon the siren is going off all around the capitol
"guys look" Robbie says pointing to the streets
we all look down and in the streets people are running and getting in cars, peacekeepers are getting people on big vehicles
"what the fuck is going on" mahic asks
"i don't know but it doesn't look good" I say slowly walking to the door
"what you doing" Robbie asks puzzled
I don't say anything and take the mattress off the bed and lift the metal frame of the bed which isn't actually that heavy
I look at everyone hoping they'll give me a hand and they do once they catched on what I was doing
we all grab a side of the bed and run to the door, the peacekeepers are obviously not there as they would have come in and whipped us by now
I could see the lock loosening
a few more times the door was down, when we all walk out the cell, there was no peacekeepers too be seen and usually there is at least 4
"where are they all" I whisper to myself getting wierded out
we follow the steps down and all the doors are open like wide open, not even shut closed
"nah guys whats going on" mahic says starting to freak
"look we aren't gunna find out until we get out there" I sigh
it was very odd, when we got to the front office of the lonely holes, there was no one, some chairs were knocked over and paper all over the floor
"they were running away" laura whispers
"huh?" mahic says
"they were running away" she says more loudly, she picks up some paper "but from what?" she continues
she starts walking towards the door that leads outside while the rest of us stay still
"wait" I say loudly, everyone stays still "if they were running away then it probably wasn't rainbows and ponys, I say we get some weapons. its obviously a bad thing other wise everyone would still be here and the sirens wouldn't have gone off"
I head into one of the offices and look for weapons anything at all
"well this is a prison, there must be something" I hear mahic say from the hall, and everyone starts looking
"guys..." noah shouts nervously
we all walk over to where noah was standing, there was a big safe which had the keys in the lock but on the floor was a body with blood surrounding it
I start freaking out and start walking backwards "no no no" I whisper, I keep walking backwards, I bump into mahic who was standing behind me. I keep getting flashbacks from the games
"hey willow, you okay" he turns me around and he holds my shoulders
I cant say anything, I just start shaking. Mahic starts to realise that I wasn't okay and he takes me out to the main space and sits me down
"i cant do this, not now" I whisper
"I know, I know" mahic whispers and holds me in his arms an starts stroking my hair
we sit there for a bit then noah walks in with some guns that were in the safe
"here let me" I hear laura say and mahic hands me over to her and mahic goes and gets his and myselfs weapons.
she stands me up "you can do this Willow, its gunna be hard I know, but you gotta keep strong and do this " she says getting my weapon off mahic and passing it to me
I don't say anything and follow everyone out the door with mahic by my side
there is no one, the streets are totally abandoned, I don't understand what was that bad that everyone needed to leave
we keep quiet as we head to the station, we keep to the sides of the streets and stay low
when we get to the station it was busy, very busy, there was lots of people trying to get on the train. so we try to hide our weapons
"excuse me, sorry but where does this train head?" laura asks a peacekeeper politely
"out of panem" he says bluntly and walks over to the train
what? out of panem, there is nothing outside of panem
"look there is a car over there, we can drive to 12" I say thinking of a way to get to 12
"what if they are evacuating the districts too" Robbie says
"its the districts, unlikely they are, peacekeepers don't care for the districts" I say quickly
"plus who do you think is going to drive" noah says disagreeing with the plan
I turn my head to laura
she laughs "i havnt driven a car in 30 odd years" she continues laughing but no one else does and then she realises I am being serious
"i guess I could try" she says while quickly walking over to the car

I didn't really want to go back to the house, knowing my parents have probably got a phone call home
"now where have you been" my mother says while I walk through the door
"with thorn" I reply
when she hears thorns names she come scurrying to the door
"well hello thorn" she says with a smile from cheek to cheek
"hi Katniss" thorn says back
"is it okay for her to live here now" I say with a doubt she will say no
"oh yes of course thorn can stay," she says smiling once again, she turns to thorn "you'll have to stay on the sofa in ryes bedroom for now till we sort something proper"
"what about willows room?" I ask
"oh gabi has that tonight" she says and walk back to the kitchen to make dinner
annie and haymitch are already here
"lets go to my room" I say while laughing knowing that there isn't much entertainment here
"yes lets"
we get to my room and I help thorn unpack her stuff
"im homeee" I hear my dad say downstairs "and guess who showed up"
as soon as he says this both myself and thorn we interested to see who it was
we run downstairs and Gale and Corrie are standing at the door
"fuck sake" I say
"language!" my dad shouts at me
"what you expect me to be happy that Corrie is here, the one that almost got our family killed, yeah no thought not " I turn to corrie "fuck off" and walk back upstairs and Thorn follows
"fuck this shit" I shout and start punching the wall
"hey dude, look hes only here for dinner if that" thorn says tying to calm me down
I didn't realise how hard I was hitting the wall till thorn pulled me away
I just break down right there in front of thorn
thorn pov
he breaks down right in front of me and I run into the bathroom and get a wet cloth
I come back and put the cloth on his knuckles as there is blood pouring out of them
he falls onto my shoulder and starts crying and I just hug him as I know that no words can make him feel better at this point
he needs willow, that's all he needs right now. the old willow, the one that was his bestfriend
that's what he wants, that's what he needs
