The Hunger Games Fanfic!

Chapter 11 Escape

I sat there, just waiting. I should of known that wasn't Katniss. The way she always snapped at me. And hurry me. But I was so confused. I still am. I guess I was just in shock that my sister was dead really.

I need to get out of here because they will probably kill me and Katniss, if they find her. I look down at the cuffs. There's a lock holding them together. Struggling is not going to help me really. I suddenly remember I had a pin keeping my fringe off my face. I might be able to pick the lock if I tried.

I shake my head, in attempt of loosening the pin. I manage to put it in my mouth. The metal taste on tongue is horrible. I crouch down, placing the pin into the lock. I awkwardly twist my head to unlock it. It takes longer than I expected. Attempt after attempt, it finally works.

Click. It unlocks. I sense of achievement. I grab the pin and undo the other wrist. That time I did it first go. I also free my waist and legs from the metal. I stand up. The blood rush to my feet.

I stand there. What next? I can't just walk out. I couldn't do anything now. Suddenly I hear something above me. It sounds like someone is cutting through. My heart pounds. I look up. There's a hole in the ceiling, and a rope climbing down in lighting speed. I recognise him after a while. His feet touch the floor soundlessly.

"Gale?" I whisper. He stares at me. "Hurry up!" Comes a voice from the roof. "Is that Peeta?" I ask. I stare at him in bewilderment. "Grab onto my arm." He says. I hold onto his forearm. I stare up at him, but he doesn't return a look back.

We whizz up onto the roof. The cold air hits me and finds away up my clothing. I am still in my sleep wear. "The hover craft will be here in a minute." Says Peeta staring at some device. "Where are we going?" I ask. "To your sister." Is the reply.
