I don't care where I'm running to. I don't have a destination in mind. All I could think of is that I had to get away as fast as possible.
I don't care when thorns scrape me. I keep on running. I don't pay attention to the stream as I splash through. I'm wet now, but I don't care. I can hear ferocious growls. I don't stop to see what kind of animal the Capitol has in store for me. If they chase me, I don't care, either. I run.
Run away from everything that I have I know. Run away from it all.
Run, run, run.
My lungs feel like they're bursting. I keep running, not stopping to rest. Once, I fly past an unsuspecting tribute, and dash past her before she has time to kill me.
The sound of Davis's cannon still haunts me. It rings in my ears. Boom! His head by my feet. Boom! Blood everywhere. Boom! Boom! Boom!
BOOM!
You can't run forever, you know, a small voice hiss in my head. I ignore it and keep running.
Run. Run. Run away from everything.
I don't care anymore. I don't care If I die now. Just...run.
Escape from this madness.
Finally, I can't take the running anymore, and collapse in a heap onto the ground. No one is there to catch me.
I'm alone.
Everyone I love is dead. Why? What did I do to deserve such pain? Whatever have I done to the defy the Capitol? I'm just a simple girl living in District Four. Why did the Capitol have to target me?
Dany.
Ellie.
Monika.
Lillia.
Davis.
Finnick...Finnick? What about Finnick? For all I knew, he could be dead, too. Or was that his head by my feet?
That's right. He's the one who has caused me so much pain. If I hadn't spoken to him that day, none of this would have happened. Ellie would still be with us. I wouldn't have been Reaped. It's all his fault.
I hate him. It's his fault I'm here. It's better if he's dead...
Tears begin rolling down my cheeks.
I'm alone...
I sob openly. I don't care if everyone in Panem is watching. I don't care anymore. I don't care.
"Someone, anyone, please save me from this hell!" I cry softly, and, not caring about anything anymore, I let the darkness take over.
Disclaimer: The Hunger Games doesn't belong to me!
Shorter chapter. I think it's fitting for the scene. Next chapter is the last one in the arena, but there still are a few more after that.
Thoughts? Comments?
Leave a review! (Can we get to 250 by the next chapter? :3 )
