"Leave me alone!" I shout. I'm running through the Dark Forest as Krane , the mysterious beast, chases me with a spiked club. "You reek with fear, I love it!" yells Krane. I find a bow and arrows, load the bow and shoot straight at his eye. It hits him, but he's still running. I speed up and find a small shack. I run in the shack and I see the thing that nearly petrified me. A robinpecker.
Krane shouts out " Michael Krane, I know your here somewhere. I can smell your fear." I find a small door to a celler, and I go through it. Suddenly I start to smell blood, sweat, and death. Krane is here!
He rips of the roof, and pulls his arm ,with the spiked club, back and strikes. As soon as the club barely touches me I wake screaming, running, and trying to shoot Krane. I realize I'm awake and that it was just a dream, but my heart is still trying to pound its way out.
My mother comes in trying to comfort me, but I push away. I tried to hug my father but, he's dead. I used to hug him after a nightmare. I get up take a bath and go to the coal mines. There I see Gale talking to a peacekeeper. Its Corporal Jared. I walk up to gale and greet him and walk. Then I hear my name. I turn around check who called me, and walk away. " I know you heard me, Michael. Get over here." says Jared. " Yes?" I reply. " Gale tells me that you hope to get reaped tomorrow. For your family". I snarl a Gale for 2 seconds and reply, " Yes, for my family" " Know it would be a shame if you didn't get reaped. Here, tell you what. Go down to the justice building and sign up for a tesserae. I guarantee you'll be reaped." " Thankyou. I'll go work on that right now.". I leave the mines, go to the justice building, and write my name next to a slot that reads Gale Hawthorne.
