The hunger games continued

Chapter 25- Day 2 in hell

We light the fire after we make a hole to let the smoke out of, we sit in front of the fire in silence for a long time, I watch the flames dance in the cave walls, I try to make shapes out of the firey tendrils but all I can see is flames, licking the pieces of wood, "I'm going to sleep" I say, crawling into my sleeping bag, I close my eyes just as the music starts to play, I sit up and go to see what's going on, I recognise the music as the Panem's Anthem, a shiver slithers down my spine as the faces of the dead appear, one from 3, both from 4, both from 6, one from 7, one from 8, both from 10, one from eleven and both from 13, Katarina, she's dead? how, when I met her, she didn't seem like the kind of oerson who would be in the first twelve to die, I look up and notice a white blanket has now covered the leafy green trees, I smile, snow, "Forest" says Sonny from inside the cave, "what's going on?" I turn away from the glistening white world and face her, "nothing, go back to sleep, I'll tell you in the morning" I reply, she nods and snuggles back down into her sleeping bag, I smile down at her and after one more glance at the snow outside return to my own sleeping bag, I slide deep into it and fall into a deep sleep, and for the first time in five days, sleep dreamlessly.

BOOM! I wake with a start to the sound of a cannon, I sit up, heart pounding, I whip my head towards Sonny and see her gone, my breath catches in my now constricted throat, oh no, I look around in a panic but I see her next to the fire, poking the still hot coals with a stick, I let my breath out in relief, I get out of my sleeping bag and join her by the fire, "congratulations" I tell her, she looks at me with a puzzled look on her face, "you have survived the first night of the hunger games!" I announce in my best Narvolious Carterfield voice, she giggles, "he won't be to impressed with you when you get back to the Capitol" I frown, "Sonny, I'm not going back to the Capitol" I tell her, "you are" she shakes her head, "I refuse to go without you" I shake my head back at her, "no you don't" she sighs, "whatever, I still don't want to go home without you"

"Let's not talk about this now" I tell her, he nods in agreement, after we put the fire out we set off, the snow I had seen last has night has melted completely, not a snow flake in sight, we trek through the forest, the sun getting more and more hot as the day continues, at one point I hear what sounds like a foot stepping on a twig, "stop" I hiss, we stop walking abruptly, I look around, but I can't see anything, I see something move in the corner of my eye, I load my bow and push Sonny behind me, lift my bow ready to shoot, but I'm too late, the knife is embedded in my back before I can dodge it.

Ok, I know that chapter sucked and that I ended it in probably the worst spot in the history of places that I've stopped writing (I've read wattpad stories that end a chapter in worst spots, you know who you are) but I want to know what my readers think of my idea, I'm thinking about writing a sequel, but I don't really know, if you want a sequel, COMMENT AND LET ME KNOW! Otherwise I will just end my book, and I already know how I'm going to end it 😜 before the last chapter of this book I'm doing a contest, I'll tell you about it in my next update.
