"How long do you think she is going to sleep?"
"Well, the medicine says for 2 hours, so maybe 2 hours?"
"Of course...How long do you thing she has been sleeping?"
"About an hour and 30 minutes, I guess."
I suddenly sat straight up and opened my eyes. "I have been sleeping for that long?" I asked.
"Arada! But you are suppose to wake up in 30 more minutes!" Jean exclaimed.
"Well, that will explain why my leg is feeling numb."
"Then the medicine is still in your body." Miley said.
"Meanwhile, I'm starving. All that fighting and the loss of blood really makes you hungry!"
"Right, I'll go and find a squirrel or something." Jean said. She picked herself up to leave and I thought of some savory meat for dinner. I felt guilty that I had breakfast today, but probably not them. Still, my wound makes me very hungry, and if I told them about my breakfast, they might not get me dinner!
Miley appeared closely at me, "Are you wearing...makeup?"
I blushed, "How do you know?"
"Because there are random blotches of black, and I'm guessing that's not natural."
"Is my makeup really bad?"
"Yes. Anyway, why are you wearing makeup and HOW did you get makeup on? The people who gave us our outfits didn't apply any makeup to us."
"Well..."
"Arada, cough it up. While you were sleeping, we got a bag of makeup and it said to ask you."
"Fine. While you were chasing Jean, I saw a bag a few meters from me and I ran to get it. It had some beauty stuff inside and you need to make yourself pretty in order to get gifts. AndIworeitontogetsomebreakfa st."
"I know."
"Then why did you ask?"
"Because I looked inside your bag. ANYWAY, are you CRAZY?! You sent Jean out there, in the evening, to get you food! For all I know, your breakfast might have been a feast! But no, you had to sent her out there, making her excited that you are awake, and she might get killed by a bear, because she wanted to get a lot of meat for you!"
"Are you done?"
"NO! She might freeze to death, because she didn't want to come back here without any food and making you dissapointed-"
"There's a snow storm coming!"
I looked quizzically at Miley, as she was talking about Jean, but I saw her mouth was closed. I followed her stare and saw Jean at the mouth of the cave.
"There's a snow storm coming! And by the looks of it, it's big!" Jean yelled again. She began to run and get our parachutes, when I felt a great gush of wind coming in, and snow pounding down. Where Jean was standing before yelling that there was a snowstorm, was now just a mix of snow and rocks.
The cave's opening has collapsed.
Jean fell to the floor, "I could have saved you guys...if only I came here faster and didn't pick up their weapons..."
I looked at her, and realized she had the Career's weapons. A battle ax, a sword, a dagger, a knife, and a spear. The only weapon she was missing was the mace that put the hole in my thigh in the first place. I clenched my fist as I realized that the girl had run away before Jean or I could kill her.
Miley patted Jean's back, "It's okay. At least we are armed and we are all together."
"It's not enough. I don't even have food. We could starve in here!" She got up and went to our used-to-be-exit. I shivered as my back was against the wall opposite of her. I could heard the wind and I wondered how Jean would have lived if she stayed out there a little longer.
"Can I have my back against the floor?" I asked, as the wind was making me shiver over and over.
"Okay." Miley said. She began dragging me to the middle, so my left arm was on Jean's side, and my right arm on Miley's side. I winced, as the floor was bumpy and wished that I had a pillow. Then I frowned, as I realized how spoiled I seem. Back at my home, we barely had a blanket for each of us, and my parents had to share one blanket in order to let Harry have one. I'm lucky, because I don't need a blanket through all these layers. I never even had a pillow, or the sausages, or even two meals a day! What happened to me?
I realized it was the Capitol's fault, they spoiled us too much, and then sent us off to our death.
"I can't hear the wind anymore." Jean said.
"Does that mean the storm is over?" Miley asked.
"I-I think."
"I don't feel the numb in my leg either." I called.
"Then the storm has been on for less than 30 minutes."
"If it was any longer-" I finished my sentence with a scream. I felt a huge rumble, and I suddenly saw the night's sky.
A tree has fallen in the middle of our cave, and one of the branches has my arm weighed down.
