That was the past now shes gone if it wasn't for the capitol sending those red beautiful birds who had pecked her neck to the bone she would have lived.
"Alyssa...Alyssa!" i hear the soft voice of Arora she is back.
"Medeline said you were knocked out for about and hour are so...you ok" she says.
"Y...Y...Yeah im okay just cold." i answer back. Thats a lie im not okay im worse then okay im horrible. I can't think straight i feel really dizzy and more of the pain of Adeline death is haunting me. I step out of bed and walk a few steps around Arora and Medeline before i walk out the room my head starts spinning and i fall.
My eyes flutter open and im on a hard ground. Where am i...i think to myself. I hear a voice "Hi sleepy head!" that voice that soft mellow voice. I hear it sometimes at school. Looking to the side i see a tree trunk and a boy with red headed hair.
"What are you waiting for get up" he says while smiling at me. I
ts Austin i recognize him from District 10 school. I stand up a little and look around i realize that im in the...oh my god im in the arena! I gasp is this a dream or is this real.
"no..." i whisper.
"Hmm...you say something." Austin says. Usually he doesn't talk but i really don't care hearing someones voice makes me happy it lets me know im still here. I shake my head side to side.
"Oh i thought i heard you say something." he says.
He grabs the bright orange pack and digs in. He takes out a rabbit leg and the bottle of water.
"Here you'll need some strength for today...were going hunting."
I grab the rabbit leg and bottled water. I dig right into the rabbit leg and take a big gulp of water. I take my pack and follow him down the tree. He hands me a throwing knife.
"Why don't you go look for some berries?" i say smiling.
I nod and walk past the bushes on the left of him. While walking i spot one of Adeline's favorite food plants a Daylily. I grab one and put it on top of my hair while continuing to walk. I have lots of berries on the parachute i say to myself but before i could head back i hear a faint scream from a little girl and start running. I see the same red birds killed Adeline surrounding a little girl from district 4. Shes crying and screaming the image is vivid. The birds are pecking on her neck with there beak and her skin is pealing off. There at her bone now she takes a look at me while blood and tears is running down her and she says
"help...please"
But its to late her canon shots and a helicopter comes and picks her up.
The little girl is carried away from the site of the bloody scene. What have they done! I think to myself. I back up a bit and try to keep more tears from coming down my cheek. I try but it doesn't work. Tears are flying down like fireworks. I make a sound and when i hear it i cup my hands over my mouth. The bird is still here and is looking for its next prey. I need to get away from this scene i say to myself. I slide to my right but before moving more i trip over a rock and fall to the green grassy ground. I look up and there it is. The red bird right in front of my face, its only a centimeter away from my face. I gasp and tremble in fear. The bird opens its mouth and honks..it honks? I scotch back a little and the bird follows. It land its self on my solders. I stare at it a little and then stare at the ground. I gulp "just do it real quick it will make the pain less painful." i say to myself. Im going to die i know that this is the end of EVERYTHING i say in my head.
I close my eyes and take a deep breath waiting for the dreadful moment. The painful and bleeding moment. It pecks on my shoulder one time on my neck and the pain starts but before it continues it drops and makes a thump sound on the ground. I open my eyes and see Austin there holding his throwing knifes. His hand is bleeding from a cut.
"You ok?" he asks me.
"Im okay...its more about your hand you should be worried about..." i say.
"Oh this..." he holds up his hand.
"Its nothing...just some cut from one of the tributes..."
He met one of the tributes. I raise one of my eyebrows at him.
"Come on we have to."
I nod and follow him back to the tree. Instead of staying here we continue walking. I hope he knows what his doing.
"Where are we going?"
"I found this hiding spot when i was walking...its pretty cool kind of like a cave but not really...the trees and vines make it look like there's nothing there." He answers.
"Is there anyone there already?" I ask. I need to know if its safe to go. He doesn't answer my question. We continue walking silently the whole way there.
