Sorry it's been a few days since an update. I've been busy and had writers block again. I saw the movie on Saturday and it was amazing. Well anyways here we go again! I am also currently working on another Hunger Games story so watch out for that too!
Chapter 12 – Truths Become Lies
"Stay right behind me." Peeta tells me as I follow him down the damp and narrow passageway. I'm still trying to get the fact that my daughter and her so-called 'boyfriend' ran off together… right before the games too!
"I found something." He says breaking my train of thought. "Look." He pushes a door open and it leads to a room painted gold. There are three doors in there to choose from. Looking around the golden room I see a note stuck to the door. I walk out from behind him and grab it. Choose the third door. –Klarissa. Something about this note doesn't seem right, but I show it to Peeta to see what he can make of it. He see's no problem with it so we cautiously walk to the third door and push it open. There's just a stairway leading up, winding and twisting in many ways but we eventually find ourselves at the top with what looks like to be a manhole. Again, there's another note. If you've found this note, congratulations. You've made it to the outskirts of District 1! If you want to find us we're under the names Jewels and Tyrone. Love you, find us soon. –Klarissa and Avan.
"So, we're in District 1 now?" I ask him. He nods and then pushes the cover up and sunlight comes beaming down on us.
"Come on Kat." He jumps out and then holds out his hand for me. I grab it gratefully and then quickly cover the hole back up.
"Peeta, look!" He turns around to see where I'm pointing and there stands the drunken Haymitch and unusual Effie. I run over to both of them and embrace them into a bear hug before they know what hit them.
"How'd you get here?" I ask her, "The last time I saw you guys Haymitch was passed out and you were frozen!" Effie just smiles at me and Haymitch mumbles to himself.
"Kat! I think I know where they went." Peeta yells over to me. He points over to a small house with what looks like another note on the door. We all quickly make our way over and this time Effie reads us the note. Looks like you know your daughter pretty well! Too bad it wasn't her leaving the notes for you! –S. All the energy in my body leaves me within a second and Peeta's face goes pale. Effie starts sobbing and Haymitch is over there cursing out whoever this 'S' is. This is definitely a time when I wonder if Snow had any kids. Suddenly there's something that's floating through the sky towards us. A bomb. We all scurry in all directions and I fly and hit the pavement. Hard. I look around to see everyone else seems to be fine with some minor scars and then I see Peeta. Running to his side I check his pulse but I just can't seem to find it…
Sorry this chapter was so short. I just needed a way to add suspense and this seemed like the best way. Next chapter will be longer, promise.
