The train stops and everyone waves it off since it's happened before, I'm the only one in our car that's noticed it. I'm shocked for words. "Fire," I manage to choke out. "What?" asks Dad. I point out the window and Mom, Dad, and Gale look out the window.
"How did it catch on fire?" asks Mom. "It was a…a…bomb," I stutter. Then someone comes over the speaker, "Attention everyone, may I have your attention," it says, "I'm afraid we will have to evacuate the train but please remain calm." However no one stays calm. Everyone screams and runs out and once we're out of the train it's scorching hot from the fire.
"Listen," says Mom, "you need to walk to district two, and we have to go fight." 'What?" I don't think I can do this alone. "Just promise me you'll take care of your little brother," she says. "I will," I whisper. Then Gale and I take off into the woods.
Once we've ran a fair amount we sit down. "What now?" asks Gale. "I don't know just give me a chance to think okay!" I didn't mean to yell at Gale but everything is just so confusing, I don't know if I'll ever see Mom and Dad again.
"I'm sorry," I say, "first we need to find food." We both look around but all I see is a bunch of trees. How will we find food? Even if there were animals I don't have a bow. I know how to make one but that would require a knife which I also don't have. I see no bushes with berries I usually get with Mom, I see no water which without we would die.
I look over to Gale who has tears in his eyes. "It's alright," I say, "we just need to keep walking, we're somewhere between district seven and eight, probably closer to seven because look at all these trees."
Then all the birds stop whistling except for one and a big rush of wind blows our hair like crazy. All of a sudden the sun is gone and I look up and see a giant hovercraft. It passes over and I think it's done but it's not. I hear a scream then a gunshot and that's when I know a war has begun.
