Chapter 16 ~ 2 Careers Dead

I wake up early again. I guess it's a habit now and I can't shake it off. I feel rested today. Something about the environment around me changes everyday. Whether I feel different or something strange happens. I start to munch on the loaf of bread Ali sent me yesterday. I sit there staring down at my feet. I haven't cut myself yet on branches or rocks. Then, I jump when there is screaming in the distance, multiple screaming. A girl's screaming is extremely loud and high pitched. I swallow. What's going on? I see Cato, than Marvel, Than Clove, Than Peeta running in the distance. They seem to be swatting at the air...oh...The Tracker Jackers must of got them. Soon, all the screaming stops. And a cannon goes off...and a little bit after another cannon. Could it be, 2 Careers dead already? Glimmer and Azora?

I pull the little strands of hair that are in my face back and put them behind my ears. I see Clove, Cato and Marvel talking in the distance, than soon shouting at each other, but mostly Peeta. Peeta runs back into the forest, than Cato and Clove chase after. Marvel stands there, appearing to be dazed, but than he slowly jogs after them. Career Drama. I jump up and just decide to go walk around a get out of the "danger zone."

Where to go? I'm sure that there is many places around. I look in my backpack to make sure I got everything. And...the 2 knives I will never use. I'd really like to not have to kill anyone. It's going to be hard, though. Especially if someone is charging at me with a sword. I swear this arena gets hotter. I take off my jacket and stuff it into my bag.

I feel sad. I feel really sad. Why do people not care about kids dying? 2 kids died today. Dean died. It's all to keep the people occupied. There is a 12 year old in here. This isn't cool. It's dangerous. And I bet that the Careers are scared. They may seem like they are so cool...but we are scared. All of us. What's not scary about dying? Only 10 tributes left. I think I need to take a nap. I feel distressed.

Please come home Finch. I miss you. I need you. Please, Please!

I wake up without delay. Fawn? No...It's just a dream. I say to myself. I want to cry. I lay there, trying to hold it back. I hear the sound of a camera zooming in. I look around and see a shiny circle on a tree. I glare at it. I want to go home. I have to keep going, for Finn and Fawn...for Dean and Ali. She's rooting for me. They, are rooting for me. I can't let them down now.

I must of slept awhile, because it's starting to turn dark. Soon, it is the "Fallen Tributes" show. The Capitol's anthem plays. I hum along with it, to stay content with myself. Glimmer, District 1 and Azora, District 4. Rest in Peace. I find myself dozing off again as the Capitol plays the anthem one more time tonight before ending it.

The Horn of Plenty, The Horn of Plenty overflows. Panem shall rise above...Panem shall reign above... may our nation never fall again....
