It was morning and I woke up to the usual sounds. Birds twittering, Greivers beeing, and my two best friends arguing. "It might be a ploy to kill us." Oriel shouted. "Or it could be a way out." Micheal yelled back. I sat up and yelled. "Shut up you too!" They turned and Micheal deflated. But Oriel looked just the same she was sweaty and she had bags under her eyes. "No!" She said "Your Boyfriend might just lead us into a trap. Or he might get us out there but then what? We go to these random people and trust them we don't know them and what about cranks. What the heck is even out there we could be facing more than just whatever these crank things are!" She gritted her teeth. Bryson steped forward. "You should rest he said. your arm your side." ''What is wrong with her side?" I asked stepping closer towards them. "Nothing" Oriel said quickly. "She was stung last night by I don't know by what" Bryson said. He grabbed her and pushed onto her sleeping bag. "Stay there while I look around." He glanced at us "Keep her from straining herself" he said. Then he turned and left. Michael and I sat down next to Oriel. "Let me see" I whispered soothingly. Oriel sighed and lifted her uninjured arm. Just above her hip was a red welt.

"It's nothing she said." She touched her broken arm. "This is the problem." Micheal got up "I am going to get some more water" he said. Oriel sighed and lays back down. "I'm sorry" she whispers looking blankly into the sky. I looked down at her. "It's just so hard I don't know where my sister is if dad is alive. And It's my 14th birthday." I stared it was sometimes so easy to forget that Oriel was 9 months younger than me. "Oh, Oriel" I said. But there was nothing else to say. Then before the silence could get awkward. A beeping filled the air. I looked up and saw a parachute with a metal canister below float down.

I caught it and opened it inside was a small box full of blue spheares. a stick and cloth perfect splint making material, and finally a small box with a latch. Oriel laughed and pulled out the shpheres and popped one into her mouth. "Chocolate!" she squealed. Then I helped her put on the splint. A note said eat them wisely ~ dad Finally I Pulled out the box. And handed it to her. A small tag on it said: Something to remeber me by. ~Paxton Oriel smiled and opened the box inside was a small red choaker with a little metal charm. It was a hunting knife. Paxton was making this when we were reaped. Oriel had tears in her eyes as she looked at it then she clasped it around her neck. Micheal came back along with Bryson. Oriel leaped up. Well she said as she packed her bag "What are we waiting for lets go!"
