I regretted screaming because that could allow the enemy to discover us, but my life was threatened.
I was climbing a tall tree with Rue's help, and I was about 30 feet up. It was going fine... until I slipped. Mt uniform caught on one of the branches, but I was dangling upside down. I guess that phrase "My life is dangling on a piece of thread" can be used in literal terms here.
The boom of a cannon startles me. I look up to see the girl from four being carried out by a hovercraft.
The cannon caught me off guard and I flinched, loosening the grip my pants had on the branch.
As I fall, I see my life flashing before my eyes.
My dad singing to me, Katniss telling me stories, making friends, finding Buttercup and Lady...
Only happy memories. All if this happens in about two seconds.
I close my eyes and get ready for death. And I fall... right into Gale's arms.
He looks out of breath. He must have ran here. Rue hops down from the tree.
Gale holds out the water and we all tentatively take a sip.
We're all right. A little shocked, but all right.
Great. I have a big hole in my pants. Oh well.
I'm still shaking but at least I'm safe.
Everything goes by slowly for us. That must mean that someone is in trouble somewhere else.
I just wish it would stay like this. But it doesn't.
