"It's not going to turn off," I mumble. "What?" asks Gale. "It's district five, power they have all the electricity that they want, the fence isn't turning of, Gale, and we're not getting through!" I almost yell. "Then what do we do?" asks Gale. "I don't know," I say, "give up, turn around?"
We both just sit by a tall tree that rises above the fenceā¦above the fence! I'm just about to share my idea when I remember what happened last time we jumped, Gale with his wrist, and my bloody ear, but then again there's no other way.
"Gale," I whisper, "we're going to climb this tree and jump over the fence." "But my wrists," he complains. "There's no other way," I say. I climb first and jump. The jump is breath taking and rather long but it still doesn't give you time to think. I land on my side and put a little too much pressure on my ankle. I can tell my arm is badly bruised and a sprained my ankle.
I see that Gale jumping now and he bruises his arm too but his ankle is in perfect shape. "Are you alright?" asks Gale. "I sprained my ankle," I reply.
I grab a branch and we start to walk through district five unnoticed which so far is working out. However once we enter one part of the town people start to whisper at the sight of us. They recognize us, I'm almost positive.
I start to walk faster, well as fast as I can walk on my ankle, and Gale picks up the pace too. In front of us I can see the fence and the town people are slowly fading away. For a moment I think we actually might escape to safety. Then something drifts down from the sky, I recognize it, it's what landed on the train that brought us here. It's a bomb.
