Hi Guys!
I am super happy because I got my results for my AS Level(A and B) and my GCSE(A) so I am in a good mood. Though the lack of reviews on my stories is upsetting so come on! I know you read it so please tell me what you think, I love hearing it!
Meeting

Okay. That was, well, unexpected. One minute I'm yelling at Finnick then the next his lips are on mine. Where did that come from? He had shown no signs of liking me before hand, if anything he had be distant like he didn't want to be near me for some reason, but it appeared he did. Far off in the building I heard the faint slamming off a door as it echoed through the dark maze. The loud bang shocked me out of the daze I had been in as I sat in my room. I shouldn't be this happy. Lucy was dead because of me. Because I couldn't protect anyone as no one would let me fight. I was just as powerful, no I was more powerful. I could move anything with my mind as I was being 'protected' by a bunch of people that included a person who's only power was controlling water, if there was a large deposit of it near by. And I had just made out with that very person, what is wrong with me?
I didn't go down to get any food that night, I didn't feel hungry, nor did I get any breakfast as I suddenly felt an overwhelming desire to get out of this place. I couldn't stay here. I needed to get out for a while. But I couldn't just walk out the door. If I tried that I would have a hundred guards on me in a flash. No, I needed something more ingenious than that. My eyes drifted to the window that was just high enough to be out of my reach. If I could get up there though I could easily get out. Desperately, I searched for something to stand on before it hit me. I could move things with my mind, surely by default that included myself.
Using all the might I could muster I pulled myself up so my feet just left the ground before crashing back down again. I could do this, I thought as I tried again, only this time focusing all my energy on my brown flats. This time I got as far as the window, allowing me to grasp the ledge. Now just the glass. Again I focused all my energy on getting the glass to move and sure enough it fell out and hit the soft ground outside with a crash, shattering it. Deep down I knew that I should be worried about the fact I had just broken a window and left obvious evidence of what I had done but a much larger part of me didn't care. As I climbed out the window that smaller part of me was washed away with the wave of adrenaline that flooded my body when my feet hit the earth beneath me. It felt unbelievingly nice to be outside. Even though my back was pressed to the wall of the building I had left, I felt free. I could forget about death and fear and the knowledge that we where at war. All that mattered was I was outside and I felt free. The air followed through my hair while I gingerly took small steps away, my first act of rebellion. Growing up I had always been a quiet child, never giving anyone trouble and now I was breaking the one rule I now had with each step I took.
My happiness was stopped in it's steps by a twig breaking in the background. I would have passed it off as an animal if I couldn't feel another mind near me, and not one I recognized. Due to the training I had been having my telepathy could no longer be held back my the serum the other had used, though I had yet to tell them that. I never used it on them. I didn't want to know what was going on up in their heads. I liked mystery. But I did recognize when they were nearby and this was not them. Given that I can't sense animals it must mean there is an unknown human in the forest.
Fear began to take over, filling my system. Why did I do this? I should be inside. Breathing began to become difficult when I heard another crack, and a bang. It wasn't till the bullet was in front of me that I saw it. Only it wasn't normal. It had stopped right in it's tracks and was simply hanging in front of my face. My instinct kicked in after that, forcing my legs to dart away from the bullet. I wanted to scream but no noise came out. I had been so close to meeting the same fate as Lucy but instead something had stopped it. I could hear a thud in the forest as something heavy hit the ground, at the same time the bullet fell to the ground with a nearly inaudible thud.
A women stepped out of the shadows. She had similar dark brown hair to me only hers was wavy and pulled back into a ponytail. Her dark blue eyes gazed at me like she had just seen a ghost, even though the stark contrast between the blue of her eyes and the white of her skin made her look like one. The dark green off her airy top didn't help much either. You could practically see the thoughts buzzing in front of her eyes, like cogs turning in her brain. At some point stopped staring and looked off at the forest, before flitting back to me, only now she seemed to look more serious.
"Get back inside" she ordered, though her voice cracked slightly as she spoke. I didn't argue and dashed round the corner, hoping there was a door there. Thankfully there was and I was able to dash inside it. My chest was heaving as a sank to the ground inside. Questions buzzed around inside my brain like a swarm of angry bees. Who was that woman? Was the main one, though a much darker one also was brewing, did she save me or did she try to kill me?
