Edward Snows POV

Today was just one of those day's where I felt like something was going to wrong, one of those day's that you know something bad was going to happen, but it doesn't so you let your guard down then it sneaks up on you. Like walking through a haunted house, you think it scary so you check every shadow and are extra careful and you only see coffins and very artificial things, so you let your guard down. But then suddenly...BOO... clown with a chainsaws make your white underwear yellow. Today was a clown with a chainsaw kind of day.

It started out with the nurse saying that I can go watch the lessons at career camp. It's better than staying in a hospital for the 4th day. So when I got back it seemed like Cornelius was a new popular, happy version of himself. It was really weird. I kept on giving him these oh really stares so he would come and talk to me. He came over and complained that I was grumpy then I said that I have broken ribs. Then we talked then we ended the conversation, don't tell anyone this but he gave me a random hug. A one-armed, quick hug but a hug nonetheless. Then coach came up and told Cornelius to go pick teams. Then Coach Brayden told me to follow him he brought me to a small forest and pulled a branch like a lever and we started going down we ended up in some secret military base with a tank, helicopter, and an awesome boat that doubled as a plane. we got in a black helicopter that had a rope ladder, velvet seats, and a small fridge full with beverages. It had a front row and a back row that was caged off so i'm guessing that it was to carry prisoners. Coach showed me how to operate it just in case somehow he wasn't able to drive, he told me stay in the helicopter then he went to go explain the rules how to play capture the flag to the careers. For once I actually felt special.

I put my head, back but when I stretched out my feet I made the helicopter take off. The acceleration of the helicopter was crazy good. I was in district 2 before I knew it then I did a corkscrew and crashed into district 3. The district 3 people thought I was some kind of god testing if I would help them. So a guy named Eugene walked up to me he looked 12 or 13 with blond hair, blue eyes and he seemed like very smart boy for his age. He came up to me and fixed the plane until it was an immaculate beauty then he said one word. "Go". Then I did what he said I hit a small home button and the helicopter flew autopilot home.

When coach got back he told me to scoot over to the passenger's seat. I did what he said right away. I noticed he was wearing a backpack, so I asked him what was in it, and he said that there was a first aid kit and 2 flags. He started to hover a huge desert. Then he shouted something with his bullhorn and threw the flags out the window we waited for ten minutes then heard a scream. We looked out the window and saw Enoch kill Gladius. I froze, but Coach Brayden slid down the rope ladder and tethered himself to Enoch and pulled her up to the plane. He threw her in the back and took off and flew to district 7 and dropped her off with the peacekeepers on the way back we were both silent.

Then when we got back we had a funeral for Gladius. I wore a black suit and everybody said there blessings. But everyone was shocked when I admitted my crush on the now deceased Gladius. Her beautiful turquoise eyes, her blond hair, her knowing that what is popular isn't always right, and what's right isn't always popular.

My ribs healed and then next week went by fast and as did the week after that, so finally it was time for the reaping.
