Rose POV
No! There, at the boy from one's feet, was Rue, in a tight ball with a spear through her. Without a thought, I threw the knife that I kept hidden in my sleeve, the one with deadly poison. The knife flew through the air and pieced his neck. Within seconds, he was dead.
At the same moment, I took Rue's body and ran away. Though she was small and pretty light, carrying a body was still pretty heavy but I pressed on. The memories were flowing through me, and gave me strength in the form of anger.
The day was beautiful. A clear blue sky, with a gentle breeze. It was a perfect day for hunting.
"Toby, lets go!" I called to my younger brother. It has been about a year since he started to come with me on my hunting trips. The only thing was that he was still full of energy and jumpy. Sometimes he would shoot at something randomly. It wasn't bad though, as he would hit small prey once in a while, though mostly, it was nothing.
"Coming!" He shouted back. Soon he was out of the door, and we headed into the woods. After awhile, we came into a little clearing.
"Today, we will try something out. I want you to sit here, and relax. Don't be to jumpy. I'll hunt somewhere else, but will be close. Scream if something happens. K?" I asked. Hopefully, he would be able to calm down. It wasn't that hard. after all, the day was beautiful and calming.
"Sure." He said, sounding a tiny bit nervous.
"Don't worry. I'll run as fast as I can if anything would happen. The chance is small either way." After that, He shrugged, and sat down. I walked away, looking for our lunch.
Everything was going fine, until a scream erupted and then something else.
A gunshot.
I ran, crashing through trees back to the clearing. I was there in a minute, and took in the scene.
My brother was on the ground, blood trickling out of his small body that was huddled together. Standing over him was a Peacemaker.
The Peacemaker looked up at me. I shook, furious, and notched my bow, and pointed it at the person.
"Stop. Let go, and I'll let you live." I took a few breaths.
"Why?" I asked. Everyone here knew about all the hunting, so why did this one kill my brother?
Kill. The cold hard truth of the event struck me. My brother. Was. Dead.
Grief and sadness swirled around inside of me, and I fell to my knees, ignoring the gun pointed at my head. Toby...just this morning we were joking around, laughing and chasing each other. Never again. Never again would that happen. He was still, dead. Gone.
"Why?" I repeated, then looked up. "Why?"
"He shot an arrow at me. Plus, he was hunting. Those are forbidden and punishable by death."
"You aren't from here are you?" I asked.
"Of course not! I was sent to check the situation here, and this is what I find! Disgraceful!"
A girl. I hated this girl standing before me. This 'Peace'maker. Laughable. Just a name as PEACEmaker. I let out shaky breaths, and stood up.
"Let go of the bow and drop those knives, or I will shoot you." She commanded. Slowly, I loosened my gripe, and let it drop. Right as it hit the ground, right as she let her guard down, I threw the hidden knife in my sleeve that I kept for emergencies. It hit her, and the poisoned tip started to kill her. Soon, she was in the same state as my brother.
After that, I threw the Peacemakers body into the lake. Before though, I tied on stones, so it would sink to the bottom.
Then, I grabbed my brother, and cleaned his wound. Shot through the neck. I cried, my tears falling onto his face and clothing.
At the same time, my hate grew into a beast. I would have my revenge.
so, everything after that line was a flashback :P
hope you liked it
