I woke up to the sound of crunching. I snapped up and grabbed the knife from my backpack. I saw someone in the distance. I quickly threw my knife at the person, but the person dodged it and fell to the ground. The person snapped their head up and whisper-yelled my name. I looked closer, it was Alistair! I ran to Alistair and jumped on him. He caught me and hugged me tight. I cried softly in the crook of his neck as he rubbed my back.
A: Al! I was so scared! I had no idea where you were and I though you had died!
Al: Shhhh. It's ok, Annie. I'm here. I'm alive.
A: *cries* I missed you so much. I was so worried.
Al: I'm here, Annie. I'm never leaving you.
A: Yes you will Al. Only one person gets out of here alive.
Al: I'll be with you till my last dying breathe.
A: *cries* Thank you Al, but I don't want to talk about the whole death thing.
Al: Then let's just relax. *puts Annie down and sits down* Did you get any sleep?
A: A little, but not much. *sits down*
Al: You should sleep. I'll keep watch.
A: No, Al, you need to sleep.
Al: Annie, my job here is to keep you alive, not the opposite.
A: I said no talking about that subject!
Al: Sorry. I found a cave not that far from here. We could sleep there instead. It would probably be safer. *gets up*
A: Ok *gets up* Lets go *walks*We walked for about 10 minutes before reaching the cave. I looked around to see if anyone had followed us, we were in the clear. Once we got into the cave, Alistair put our sleeping bags in a corner of the cave and our other supplies were in arms reach. It was still dark outside, I'd say about 2 am, I was never good with time though. He forced me to go back to sleep as he sat up and kept his eyes peeled on the opening of the cave. I was dozing off, but for some reason, I just couldn't fall asleep. I kept shivering, I was freezing. Alistair noticed me shivering, he laid down next to me and held me. I rested in his chest and immediately fell asleep. He was such a good guy. I can't let him sacrifice his life for me. I just can't.
I woke up about two hours later from a nightmare. I jumped up screaming and hyperventilating. Sweat was dripping from my face and my eyes were wet with tears. Alistair jumped up and grabbed my shoulders.
Al: Annie! Annie! It's ok. It was just a dream. You're ok.
A: *cries* Eve...they took her.
Al: Who took her?
A: The Capitol. They took her...they were torturing her and then they...they...oh god. *cries*
Al: *hugs* It's ok. It was just a dream. Eve's ok, everything's ok.
I sobbed in his chest for a little while longer, while he rocked me from side to side. I was calm until I heard voices outside. Alistair heard them too and he grabbed his axe. I grabbed my knife and we both went silent.
Unk1: I heard people in there I swear!
Unk2: You're going crazy. No one is in there.
Unk1: You don't know that!
Unk2: Fine! You wanna check in there and put yourself in danger, by all means go for it!
Unk1: Fine I will!
Shit! That person is coming in. This is not good. We're gonna have to kill someone. The person snuck in cautiously. Me and Alistair stayed silent until she got close to us. She saw Alistair and swung her sword at him. He dodged it and I ran up behind her. She saw me and swung her knife at me, it cut my arm. The other person came in and ran to me with his spear. I dodged his throw and threw my knife at him. It got him, in the stomach. Holy shit. I just killed him. A canon went off and we all stopped what we were doing. The girl looked at me with rage in her eyes. She screamed "you bitch" at the top of her lungs and ran to me. She was about to swing her sword at me, when she stopped. I didn't understand why, until I heard a canon. She fell to the ground with an axe in her back. Alistair killed her. Oh my god. We just killed people. Oh my god!
Al: Oh my god Annie are you ok?!
A: I just killed someone.
Al: Annie are you ok?
A: I just killed someone.
Al: Annie please don't do this! He came at you first!
A: *cries* I just killed someone. I'm a horrible person.
Al: Annie please. We need to go! More people are going to find us. Come on! *grabs arm and drags her out of the cave*
A: *winces from the pain of the cut on her arm*
Al: What is it? *looks at her arm* Oh my god! Annie we need to get this bandaged.
With that he dragged me back into the cave and bandaged up my wound. It wasn't that bad, but it could turn into something worse if left untreated. I was still in shock from killing that guy. Alistair basically dragged me through the forest. I was so out of it. I killed someone. I didn't even know him. He had a life and I took it from him.
