I remember the light that blinds me when my platform finally stops in the arena. I remember the fear, but at the same time the relief that came over me when I realized we were surrounded by water. It didn't take long to find Finnick and just knowing he was safe and sound had a somewhat calming effect.
Then the clock started ticking down, and when the cannon that was fired to signal the beginning of the 75 Hunger Games went off, I undoubtedly dove into the dark water. The cold took me back to another water, infested with wistful, bloodthirsty metal sharks, but I know that atleast athe bloodbath, there would be none in sight.
Adrenaline was pumping as I got my hands on a spear and some knives, then the battle broke out.
I know we're teaming up with Katniss and Peeta. All four of us survive the carnage and we move into the forest where Peeata almost dies, but Finnick brings him back to life?! Why would he do that, that make no sense.
But he does it enyway, I guess that's just the way he is, responds by trying to restore life when death is at hand.
But then, then we set up camp and wake up only when a poisonous blistering mist nearly kills us.
The pain is so intense that Finnick has to carry Peeta and Katniss and I are practically hanging on each other to get there if Ed is alive.
Then there were monkeys, those devils I clearly remember, they wanted to kill us, but we caould fight, somehow we got to the beach and that bekame oure rescue, although someone loses their life to the monkeys, just not one of us.
However, was inpossible to see who she was as she was coverd in camouflage and the monkeys leaft her unrecognizable.
Even so, I suspected Peeta knew her.
I don't remember when, but Johanna, Beetee and Wiress joined us too. Then there was more sea action, something was a bell and we had a plan. Somewhere in between came a faucet and bread too, honestly, all that aches unimportant and blurry now.
All I remember clearly is when everything started to go wrong.
Johanna had me down on the ground and cut out my transmitter, but someone else must have attacked me because I was in so much pain!! There was a cannon shot and then I heard it.
"Elizabeth!!! Elizabeth!!!"
Finnick was screaming my name, most likely he was trying to find me, but I couldn't answer, I was just in so much pain. But I wanted to answer, must answer.
"Elizabeth!!"
I could hear the panic in his voice, even though he was so far away from me, I knew it was serious, he only called me Elizabeth when it smelled serious, but still I found myself unable to answer.
Then a flash of lightning opened up the sky and suddenly it was as if everything just became so quiet. A white light began to spread before my eyes, but it was no ordinary light, it was warm and welcoming and for the first time in a long time I felt at peace. I closed my eyes, but the light was still there, so with a smile on my face I told myself it would finally be over!
