Chapter 2
We walked until we could find somewhere to stay. It seemed that the further we went the warmer it was getting. We came down to a little cave under about a foot of snow it wasn't the best-protected thing in the world but I would do from one night we said. We would both take turns to watch out for anyone coming. Dillon took the first watch and so I took of the girl from 6's bag pack and had a look in. It was full to the brim with thing and guessing by what was in when she bumped into me was was going to meet up with someone else. There was two sleeping bags, a full bottle of water, which I thought Dillon and me could just share, an axe and a few small throughing knifes. Dillon took the axe for when I tried it in the training I was the worst I could see. I got told if possible don't even touch an axe. I stayed with the knifes. Dillon and I went to go get some food and it took some time but we finally caught a squirrel like thing. We had it for tea and for were I was and what was happening around me it wasn't that bad. Dillon and me talked about plans for tomorrow but we didn't really agree to do anything.
I was at my old home on the night of the reaping. My mum was helping me get ready. She chooses his little blue dress she wore when she was going through the reaping. She told me it was a lucky dress for no one in my family ever got chosen when they wore this dress. My dad gave me this silly necklace thing he wore during the reaping as good luck. I guess I was the unluckiest person ever. When I heard my name called I walk as slowly I could knowing that every person I passed I will never see again. I heard my mum crying and my dad telling her to shhh. I remember my mum and dad coming in to say goodbye my mum had been crying a lot and my dad eyes were red themselves. They said their goodbyes and although I wasn't aloud to wear the dress in the arena I promised I would wear the necklace to remember who I am. When they were told to leave my dad asked for two more seconds but they were drag away and that was the last I ever saw of them. When we were on the train I remember trying to talk to the boy, Aden. He had lived up the street to us and everyone knew fine well that he hated everyone in the distic and no family more then ours so when he was paired with me it wasn't his happiest of moment " if you get in my way I'll kill you, you try and kill me I'll kill you, if I even see you in the corner of my eye I will head at you and I'll kill you get the picture" I nodded. He was 18 and I just thought ill get him back in the arena.
I woke up. Dillon had been sitting at the edge of the entrance of the cave. He had put his own sleeping bag on mine so I'd be warmer. I went over and gave him back his sleeping bag. " About time you woke up "
" How long have I been asleep for like?"
" Almost 2 hours, you talk in your sleep you know you said things like I promise " I then quickly put my hand to my chest and there it was the necklace. The only thing I had left to remember her mum and dad by. " Sorry I never did that back home" there was a long time were no one talked. Dillon went inside to try and get some sleep but he came back in like 10 minuets. " Right well I'm not going to get any sleep so we might as well talk"
" Okay so did you have anyone back home"
" I have my dad, my Mam died when she had me so I never knew her"
" I'm so sorry "
" Well it nothing I don't really remember, anyway my dad got remarried and has a little girl with her called Annie and they would do anything to make sure she not here so I'm not going to be missed anyway, what about you?"
" No just my Mam and Dad, I had a brother but he died after there was a mining accident"
"What do you mean after"
" Well there was a huge mining ancient and although my brother was able to get out the stress of it all killed him soon after"
" Oh sorry" no one talked for a while. I felt like I had ruined the talking and so I should fit it. " Anyway how old are you? "
" I'm 15 why "
" Oh its just I would have thought you were older but yea I'm 14 I turn 15 tomorrow I think I cant really tell with the fact that they control the weather and sun time in here"
" That's a bit harsh sending you in here the day before your birthday"
" Well I'm here and the capital isn't mostly know for showing kindness," we both laughed. We talked for another hour or so when Dillon finally went to sleep and I was left to watch for the night.
