Thanks to Lance-Dusk, jamesss, and Emperor Eclair for your reviews! Okay, only two chapters left (Not including this one). Now, it's so short simply because this was a test for my first person writing skills. Maybe one day I'll write another first-person story... Anywho, read on for a load of cliffhangers and another death!
Tom was literally shaking in his boots, while I stared at the man in amazement. He had just recounted the events of the other 'visionaries' so calmly, telling me that everyone was dead, and they would always die. This didn't exactly give me confidence.
"S-so... what your saying... is that there isn't any chance? At all." I whispered.
The man solemnly nodded, but then put a large hand on my shoulder. "But... it is inevitable that you will die, sooner than later. However, if you can keep managing to avoid Death, you can keep on leaving for a while longer. But don't expect a peaceful life Miss Everdeen."
"What..." I shook my head, feeling heat rise up in me.
"You will never live a normal life, Miss Everdeen." The man said calmly. To fucking calmly.
"You know what!" I suddenly shot out. "Shut the hell up. I have no idea who the fuck you are, but you're just talking nonsense! There is always, ALWAYS, a chance to survive, and just because you say there isn't, doesn't mean that there isn't." I turned my back to the man. "I don't care anymore. I will keep on fighting and keep on trying to save those people. I will NOT let them die because I had some fucking vision. And if that means I don't have a life anymore..." I took a deep breath. "Well then, by that time that WOULD be my life. Excuse me, I'm going now." I quickly walked towards the door, grabbing Tom on my way.
"By the way, Miss Everdeen. My name is William Bludworth."
"I don't give a crap." Were my last words before I practically kicked the doors open.
LINE BREAK
Lucy took a deep breath, trying to concentrate on the screen. The cleaner was now vacuuming, and the two workers were talking to each other, still holding the TV up.
"...and I was like, Woah there, that's a nice set of legs."
"And..."
"And then I looked up, and was like-"
"SHUT UP!" Lucy yelled, swivelling around in her chair. "You two put the damn TV down, and you stop that Hoover and get the hell out. I have to meet my deadline, and you are NOT helping." Lucy watched them move towards the corner, when suddenly one of them let out a yelp and slipped on a puddle of... something... Lucy watched in dismay as the TV slipped from the falling man's grasp, and tipped from the other. It went sideways, and smashed straight through the glass window, falling down the large height of the building. Two seconds later a dull thud was heard.
Lucy shook, before standing up. "Get out..." she whispered slowly. "GET OUT!" Very quickly, the two workers and cleaning man left the room as Katie walked over the window, staring down at what was her TV, it had landed on a car. "Oh... great."
LINE BREAK
"What the FUCK!" A now sober Vincent quickly opened the door of his car, and his jaw dropped. "What... the fuck?" he repeated.
"What?" Katie climbed out of the car, and her eyes widened.
"What... is a TV... doing on my car?"
The TV was smashed from it's cardboard packaging, and glass and plastic littered the sidewalk.
"Wait..." Vincent looked up at the building in front of them. "Isn't that the building we want?"
Katie's eyes suddenly widened as a cold shiver flew over her neck. "Let's go!" she exclaimed, and started into the revolving doors, followed closely by Vincent.
LINE BREAK
"There goes my paycheck." Lucy muttered, shaking her head at the car below, and had watched the three people come in to the building. "And now they're coming to talk to me. Come on Lucy, get your game on, you can talk your way out of this." Her foot was now in the middle of the puddle, but she hadn't noticed.
LINE BREAK
Vincent smashed his fist yet again on the elevator controls. "Come on you fucking piece of trash." He cursed as the elevator door very slowly opened. Before they even opened the full way, Vincent pushed on them as a spark quietly appeared. Vincent and Katie got onto the elevator as he pressed the top floor. They knew from the receptionist where Lucy was now.
LINE BREAK
At that moment, I was driving my way to Bristol, having been texted the location by Katie. Tom looked anxiously at the phone, as if it were about to explode. "What's up?"
I quickly stepped on the pedal, avoiding a car. "Apparently Lucy is about to die. The others are on their way to try and save them as we speak." I quickly kissed my locket hanging around my neck as I jilted the wheel to the left. "And we need to get there too."
LINE BREAK
The elevator doors slid shut, but stopped short closing properly. Even so, the elevator started to rise.
"Come on, come on, come on..." Katie muttered as the elevator went quickly passed the floors. Through the gap of the elevator, they could see faces surprised at the doors being open. In only a minute, they were at the top, and Katie slipped out first, and then Vincent took a step forward when the doors suddenly cracked shut onto his ankle. "Ah! Fuck!" he cried out as Katie looked back in alarm and started to run towards him.
"No!" Vincent said, gritting his teeth and motioning Katie forward. "It's Lucy's turn, go and save her!"
Katie nodded, and ran through towards a set of doors as Vincent's ankle started to throb in pain.
The two had completely forgotten that it could either be Lucy... OR Vincent.
LINE BREAK
Lucy shook her head yet again, still staring at the scene below when suddenly the doors burst open.
"LUCY!" a woman yelled.
Lucy span on her heels to confront the woman, when her foot slipped on the puddle, and she fell back... straight through the open hole.
Katie shot forward, extending a hand, but their fingers just brushed as Katie found herself halfway out of the wind and watched Lucy's eyes full of fear as she fell. Katie continued to watch as Lucy's arms fell in front of her, before smashing into the pavement, becoming a bloody smear. Katie started in sickness, and the movement caused her to fall forward, straight out the window.
She let of a scream, and her arms flailed, when miraculously, she caught onto the flag pole outside the window. Her legs flailed through the air as she hung by her arms from the flagpole, the heavy wind blowing into her. "Help! Help me!" she screamed, but her voice was wiped away because of the wind.
LINE BREAK
It was the quickest car journey I had ever had, driving constantly at 80 mph. I quickly skidded the car sideways so it hit the wall heavily. People screamed and pointed, but most were looking at a bloody mulch, and also pointing upwards. I quickly pushed myself through the passenger's side door after Tom, who was looking much too queasy.
I ran to the blood mulch and almost vomited, but stared up. A figure was hanging high up on a flag pole, at the top window of the building. "Oh no..." without thinking, I ran through the building's doors straight to the elevator, and smashed my palm against the elevator button.
LINE BREAK
Vincent was tormented by Katie's screams, but he could do nothing about it, as his ankle was trapped. Suddenly he felt a tug on his ankle, and his eyes widened as the elevator started lowering. Someone had called it!
Uh-oh! Katie's hanging for her life, and Vincent's ankle is trapped in the elevator, which had just been called? What shall happen? Who will die? Let's find out next time shall we?
