Rosy and Danny - Rough Draft

I wake up to the sound of the front door slamming shut. I grab my bow and some arrows and walk down the hall with caution. As I look around the corner I hear a moaning sound mixed with a whisper,"Rosy, Rosy!" Dad? I can't remember if he came home last night. Suddenly I drop my weapon and run down the hall to get my older sister. She's a healer, she used to help mom with the patients until... BANG! I find myself on the floor in front of my sisters room. I must of hit the wall when I was running. I push open her door with my foot and my sister is looking down on me with her hands on her hips as if to say,"What are you doing up this late?" but before she can ask, I quickly say,"Dad," and she springs into action. I start to crawl toward my dad and follow my sister into the kitchen but I pass out before I can move.

When I wake up the second time, I'm in my sisters bedroom with an ice pack on my head and a glass of water on the nightstand. I try to stand up when my sister walks in. "You're not going anywhere Rose," says Danny, my sister. "I'm going to miss school!" I say but she knows where I'm going to go, plus it doesn't help the fact it's Saturday. "You're too weak to go hunting today,"says Danny. "Who will get us food then?! NOT DAD!" I practically yell because if I can't go hunting I will lose my mind. I realize that it wasn't the greatest idea to mention dad like that. "How is he?" I say under my breath. "He was attacked by a pack of wolves that appeared out of nowhere, he might not make it." Suddenly all our hunting trips flash before my eyes. I remember when I was only 6, we were coming home and I saw girls playing with these tiny plastic people and I asked him why girls in the seam don't have toys like them? "Because we don't need silly things like that," he said. "He wants to see you Rosy." Danny says and I'm back to the present. I slowly slip out of the bed and walk across the room to the door.

Once I get to the kitchen, where my father is laying on the countertop, I run up to him and hug him. That's all we do until he whispers to me,"If I die you're going to have to hunt for your sister and you. You know you can do it without me." My eyes tear up while I nod, telling him nothing like 'its going to be okay' because I don't know if its going to be OK. I start crying into his belly as if something is in his black t-shirt to block out all the pain I feel. He pets my hair as I soak his shirt. After a few moments I lift my head and say,"I love you daddy." "I love you too sweetheart." he says in the quiet tone he uses when an animal is near and he doesn't want to scare it off. Danny comes to check dads wounds, so I step aside. It's amazing how focused she is when she does this stuff, just like mom. "Oh no!" Danny yells. "Oh no? What do you mean oh no?" I yell louder than her. "He-ugh-he-I-he's losing a lot of blood!" Danny tells me. He does look really pale but everyone does here. I see her tell something to dad but I can't hear anything because I'm screaming at her to do something. I stop screaming and she starts staring at me. I look at her with no emotion. I think I know what's coming. "Rose, He's gone."

Danny comes over to me slowly but squeezes me tight. To my surprise, I feel tears on my shoulders and look up to see my sister crying. I never seen her cry before. She was the strong one in the family. Seeing her sad always hurts me and I start crying again. After a little bit we run out of tears. "You better call the peacemakers," I say and she walks out the door to get one from the square.

I'm sorry for your lost, I'm sorry for your lost is what I hear all day long. How can I go to the woods when people keep trying to comfort me? The only person who could make me feel better about dad is mom, and she's gone too! Good thing my sister is 17 or we would be in that place were homeless kids go. I hear someone behind me, it's probably Danny. I turn around to see a peacemaker. Not Danny. "Can I help you sir?" I say kinda nervously. "I understand your father was killed in a wolf attack?" says the peacemaker casually. "What's going on?!" yells Danny coming out of the house. When she comes up to us she wraps her arms around me protectively. "Just asking a question about your fathers death. You see because the Capitol is very curious on how in the world a whole pack of wolfs got inside District 12 and only just attacked your father." says the peacemaker. Are they going to arrest us? Do they know that he and I hunt? "I don't understand" says Danny but I know she understands. "Don't take us as fools Miss. Redlin." it's going to happen isn't it? "I know your not dumb sir! Look we don't know anything so just leave us alone!" yells Danny. But she lied. We do know something. "The Capitol wants to talk to you. In person. Go make yourself...presentable..I'll be back in an hour," he turns on his heel and walks away. I look up to her and she says,"We can't tell them anything. Don't trust them. We have to warn 13."

I nod and run into the house to get my bow n arrow. I don't have any idea how I'm going to get to 13 on foot in an hour but I have to try my hardest. Before I leave my sister does my hair all special and slips a beautiful light red dress over my head, just in case I just get back at the nick of time. I wave good-bye to my sister and head toward the woods. At least we live in district twelve, so it might actually be possible to make the trip. Before I realize it, I'm already almost there. I can tell because there seem to more mockingjays near 13. I stop to have a sip of water at a pond to my right. When I turn around a mockingjay land right on my hand. "I really like you mockingjays. Your a symbol of rebellion, and well I can't wait till the Capitol is defeated," I say to the bird then I look behind me to make sure no one heard me. Even out in the middle of nowhere someone would be listening. I continue my trip to 13. My mother, Daisy was kinda like me and Danny mixed together. She hunted and she healed people. She was strong like Danny but determined like me. She met my father in the woods, he wasn't from 12. She said that they just stared each other down with there weapons pointed at each other. Dad was actually the first to speak. He told her about his life and where he was from. 13. For some reason he trusted her and told her about the revolution being planed. He trusted her and she didn't even say one word yet. She was living with grandma and grandpa so she lead him to their back door. She fed him and told him about life in 12 and the rules. She told other people that he always had lived here but he was very shy and quiet. No one questioned it. I'm in district 13 before I know it. President Coin is outside with a bunch if guards. Good. I hate being underground. "PRESIDENT COIN! PRESIDENT COIN!" I call out to her. She looks at me with a sad face because I only come here with bad news. She walks up to me with her crew and says,"How's it going solider Redlin?" I almost forgot that almost everyone here is addressed as a solider. "Not good. We think they're on to us since my father...pasted yesterday," I say as formal as I can. "He pasted?" says coin. "Yeah, and they want me and Danny to go to the Capitol for questioning," I tell her. "When do you have to go?" she asks. "Umm, I think in like 10 minutes," I tell her freaked out realizing I only have 10minutes to get back to 12! "Thank you for the information Solider. I'll give you a ride back if you want." she means on a hovercraft. "That would be helpful thanks," I say returning to my formal voice. We land about 200 yards away from the fence so no one can see us. The second I step on the hard packed Earth, the hovercraft is gone and a start running to the fence. Before I get there, I hide my bow n arrow just incase they search our house when we're gone. I slip under the open hole under the fence and make my way back to the house.

I seriously just walked in the back door when there's a knock at the front door. My sister walks down stair wearing on of moms dresses. It's a light baby blue dress with ruffles at the end. Her hair is up in a pony tail and she also has a blue ribbon in her hair. Good thing I didn't tear my dress when I was running and my hair, which is down with a red hair band in it isn't go bad also. My sister opens the door and in the door way stands two peacemakers who take us away.
