May has haunted me in nightmares for years. I run around the room screaming for her to stop,her picture is in my head and has been, everyday of my childhood since I was 4. I must have forgot her but she used to slaughter me every night. I would wake screaming my mothers name, till she came, and I would tell her everything. Her name,what she looked like. My mother often slept in my room for that exact reason.
I crash into things while I hear people yelling at me. I really need to talk to someone.
"let tandoori,Dayton and Hugo in." I say to the computer that locks the door. Those three slip in my room.
"my goodness! hazel what happened!" Tandoori asks as she looks at my shins,hands and feet. I haven't noticed,but they are beaten and bloodied,by the looks of it. probably from me crashing into things.
I tell them about may and my nightmares. they look at me like I'm crazy. Because I am.
"Can I talk to Hugo and Tandoori outside?" Dayton asks. I nod not looking at him. I can here muffled voices. but I know exactly what they are saying.
"she's seeing things, she seeing the games, which means May is gonna kill her in the arena."
clearly Dayton says. He peeks his head in and asks about any other night mares I've had. I tell him about the one with gabby and mother turning into Hugo.
what he says next is horrifying.
" you are gonna die in the arena trying to save her." he says to Hugo.
a look of surprise,anger and confusion crosses Hugo's face. Tandoori gasps, and says," oh my! why on earth would you wanna protect her Hugo?" Hugo looks astonished."i, I ah don't really, um.... know." Hugo stammers, actually getting the words out.
"I will give you this though, she does deserve to go home. Maybe that's why?" he asks.
"look, maybe its good, maybe its not, I don't really care, let's get her to a hospital before she's bleeds to death,okay?" Dayton says, serious. They come back in the room trying to hide the surprised and scared looks on their faces.
"let's go to a hospital, before you bleed to death." Dayton says.
"um, I don't think I can, like, you know....walk."I stammer, not looking at him.
"we'll get you a wheel-chair.okay?" he asks me."fine." I reply. They get me a wheel-chair and roll me down to the hospital.
The doctor annouces that his name is Dr. Spokely.
Dr.whatever says he is going to ask some questions.
"how are you feeling Hazel?" the doctor says.
"like I'm dead." I reply trying to tick him off.
"OK, but do feel good?" he asks, starting to get a little on edge with me.
"like I'm GOING to die, because I'm pretty much am so... yeah." I say picking at my nails.
"alright where does it hurt?" he asks almost raising his voice.Dayton looks at me with a scowl.
"emotionally or physically?" I ask bored.
"look if I wanted a smart mouth,no good trouble maker,I would have gone to district 4 myself!"
He says and I lose it. No one bad mouths my district and gets away with it. I leap up and scratch at him with my nails.I punch his face and he falls to the ground. I stand up and kick him. First in the stomach, then gradually moving up to the head till 3 peacekeepers come in and take him away. Thats when I realize that Dayton is dragging me away.
"what is your problem Girl?" Dayton asks, while I am being put to 'sleep' by some of the capital doctors.Things turn black and I look at him and croak," no... on-one badd mouths...my
district and gets away... with it-it." he looks at me and nods, then the drugs pull me under.
