Two worlds (Everlark)

Chapter 40: Strong?

Chapter 40

Katniss P.O.V.

Get up Katniss! I tell myself sternly. I'm ordering you to stand up!

But I feel really weak so I don't know if I can. I have to get out of here before I die. I feel like I can survive this if I get out of here very soon.

Prim. I have to get out for her. Peeta. I have to get out for him. Annie... My sweet sweet Annie, I have to see her.

There are so many people I can't just leave, people who means so much to me, people that are like my family.

I don't know how to get out though. I...

"I think Ella was there", I hear a voice say.

Maybe this was the powers I needed to get up on my feet.

I slowly stand up and stumble towards the stairs that lead to the door. I can't walk fast, I can barley stumble. But the fact that I can, is a positive thing and I can't just ignore that. I have to hold out. Maybe I can.

The aching pain in my body, is beyond anything I've experienced before in my life.

I press my ear to the cold door, trying to hear the voices clearer. I can hear that they are upset, a little frustrated but not angry.

"What if she was there?" The same voice asks.

I've been here long enough to know that the voice belongs to the younger man of these two. He's voice is the scariest. The older man sounds more gentle.

"Than we can't do anything", the older man replies. "I don't think Ella will betray us".

Ella? Are they talking about the Ella I know or another Ella? How many Ella's can there be? Okay well I guess it can be a lot, but come on, what are the odds here? They can't be talking about another Ella, can they?

"What if she does?"

"Than she does, what can we do about it? Nothing", the older man says. And then I hear a slap and a grunt. "Get yourself together son, I did not raise a coward".

No you raised him to become a psychopath, I think sarcastically.

My legs hurt every second I'm standing up. Even when I'm not standing up because of the pressure of my tight white jeans. Which by the way has changed into a new color, which is dark. Around my thighs it's almost black of the dirty dried blood. And the rest of the jeans is now gray.

They've stopped talking so I stumble back down. I have to get out of here. I have to. But how? I scan the room.

I walk up to that little window again. Maybe I could give it another try? First time I tried it I ended up breaking my shoulder. Which by the way is still broken and hurting so much I just want to die. It's an unbelievable pain. It even hurts more than my thighs. One of my thighs I can barely feel though. It feels like it's on the way to die or something.

Oh god.

I take a little stool and stand on it. I slowly and carefully reach to knock on the glass. I press it and it shoot outwards. It's freaking open?! It's been open all of this time?

Do I fit in it? Maybe. Maybe if I can just get up and crawl through it and I don't know if I can do that. It's pretty high up. I'd have to use both of my hands and arms which would cause my broken shoulder to hurt even more.

I swallow hard as I think of the pain it would cause me.

But I have to do it. I have to. Hm I don't know if I can though.

I put both of my hands on the frame and start pulling myself up. I scream out in pain and let go, falling down on my butt. God that hurt.

No! I have to make it! I have to make it out to Prim and Peeta and Annie and everyone else.

I scream like a warrior and I stand up and jump as I grab the frame and pull myself up with closed eyes.

I slip through the frame and feel the fresh air run into my lungs.

I'm up. I lay down in the grass after I slide through the whole frame and cry out of the pain in my shoulder. Not even breaking it hurt as much as my shoulder hurt right now.

The pain makes me want to just die right here. But I can't let myself do that, not after climbing up here. I sit up and look around. I'm in a forest or something. I don't really know where exactly.

I stand up with the aching pain in my thighs and shoulder. How can I still be alive? How can my body take all this pain and not give up? I knew I was tough but I could never imagine this.

I wouldn't wish this kind of pain on my worst enemy. I inhale deep and hard as I slowly stumble forward. I don't even know which way I should go. I'm in the woods and I don't even know where in the woods so I don't know which way I should go.

I just stumble some way, hoping it's the right way. If I take myself to a road or something, maybe I'll come across someone who can help me.

No matter the pain I'm in, I'm trying to keep on moving forward. I look up at the sky. It looks like it's afternoon now. I hope I can find my way home.

How do I look to others? Do I look scary? Dead? Dying? If I just stumble up the road to our house, will people just let me pass? I'm thinking no. They'll probably bring me to the hospital or something.

I'm feeling like the pain is overwhelming me now. I've stumbled for what seems like a very long time. Maybe it wasn't very smart. In the basement I couldn't stumble long distances.

My head starts spinning and I feel how my legs give in and give up. I fall down to the ground, but thankfully not on my broken shoulder. I land with my cheek in the dirt.

I'm ready to die now. I don't care anymore. I don't care if I die. The pain is too much for me to handle. I can't anymore. Everything in my whole body is aching, my shoulder and thighs more than anything else.

If there is a God, can't he just help me? Can't he just let the life drain out of my body? I don't want to feel this pain anymore. I don't want this. What did I ever do to deserve this?

I know the answer to that though. I fell in love with Peeta. But if this is a punishment of some kind, I can say that I don't care. I do love Peeta, and I have no regrets. Peeta is my boy and I never want to have it any other way.

And I hope that even if I don't make it, if no one finds me until I finally die, that Peeta knows in his heart how much I love him. I hope that I've told him enough times for him to believe it even if I'm gone.

I love you Peeta, I think as I feel my head starting to spin even more.

I hear voices and steps. But that's the only thing I remember before the blackness takes over my body.

Hey guys, I hope you liked it.

Did Ella's uncle and grandfather find Katniss? Will they bring her back to the house or will they kill her? What will happen to Katniss in the next chapter? Will she and Peeta ever be reunited?

I'm not sure if this chapter was good because I've been really bummed out and sad the whole day and just... Yeah.
