Chapter 7
(Anna's POV)
Me and Rue are talking in our room when we hear the doorbell ring. We both get up and start walking towards the front door. When Rue opens it, there is a pretty flower on the porch.
"What kind of flower is that?" I ask. "It looks like......a primrose." Rue answers. "HEY RORY, CHECK OUT THIS FLOWER I GOT." Rue yells from downstairs. Rory then comes down the steps. He is still a little sore but he is doing better. Now he just limps around the house.
He looks at the flower. Actually I think he is thinking about something because he looks uncertain about it. Rue is about to touch the primrose petal until Rory says "Wait this could be a trap. Shouldn't we wait till mom and dad come back from Haymitch's house." He sounds a little worried. For a moment I feel like he's right about it.
"Dude, it's just a flower. What's the worst that can happen?" Rue asks. "You know I kinda agree with Rory, Rue. " I say. Rue looks at me. "Again, it's a flower what's the worst that can happen?"
"I guess your right. I'm just still a little worried with everything." Rory tells her. Rue nods. She starts reaching towards the primrose but when she does we hear a ticking sound.
"Is that.....a bomb?" I ask. I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG! We all look at the flower and see red numbers counting down to zero. "Oh Crap." We all say at the same time. The bomb goes off sending us back into the walls, knocking us all out.
When I wake up, I'm in a dirty old cell. I look around and I don't see Rue or Rory, I think I'm next. I was really hoping Rory was to delusional to understand what he was saying.
I'm on a hard tile floor. It feels kind of cold, a little bit. Where am I? What are they going to do to me? I look at my surroundings and I see a cauldron filled with water. There is also a table with restraints around it.
3 peacekeepers bursts through the door. They don't have whips in their hands, so that's a good sign. "Get her." one peacekeeper said. The 2 other peacekeepers opens the cell and got me out. "Put her on the table." the first peacekeeper says. They do what they are told and strapped me down to the table.
"What are you going to do to me?" I ask them. Another peacekeeper punches me in the stomach. I scream in pain. Then they grab a towel and put it over my face. Luckily I could still breath through it. Next they put me in the cauldron with the towel still above my face. I felt like I was drowning, I couldn't breath at all. This was torture, I would scream and cry but they would just laugh.
"Anna, we need to ask you some questions. About Rue and Rory." The first peacekeeper says. I start getting angry. "I would never rat them out!" I yell at him. The second peacekeeper slaps me across the face. The third peacekeeper chuckles. They put me underwater again, I start struggling and screaming. I'm drowning.
They stop and untie me then put me back in the cell. Then that's when my head starts hurting. I'm hanging onto my head. The pain starts hurting more and more. It was like a migraine, but this was about so many questions going through my head.
I want to go home. I want to see my family. Most importantly, I want to see Rue and Rory one last time.
