The 150th Hunger Games

Chapter 3: Awkward Hello's

  "This place is old and ragedy." My brother said. my mother just sat there and gave him a 'look'. "Nevermind.." He says, responsevly.

  I just roll my eyes to look at the window. All I see is a rundown looking society of the denied and ignored. I really miss that Avox girl right now... I didn't even catch her name. Her beautiful lime green eyes, rosey pink skin, and her flowing milk chocolate locks of hair. I seem to be falling for a criminal, but what could she have possibly done to become what she is now?

  Did she try to escape from her district? What District is she even in? Will she have a punishment for staying at my door for too long? No. They wouldn't! How could they stoop down to that level?

  Capitalites are complete morons. All they ever do is snitch and punish. So it's highly likable that they did. I hope not.

  Anyway, we reach the front door. I stand there looking around. there's a 7 year old boy standing across the street, staring at us boringly. I get uncomfortable chills that run down my neck like ice-cubes. Diego smiles and waves (LIKE HE ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT MAKING FRIENDS HERE.). The little boy stares, and turns around to face his house. He runs inside quickly, as if someone had called him. "Odd acting jerk.." Diego says feeling salty. "Hm...He must be anti-sociadable." I say. "More like anti-Capital." He mumbles.

  The guard unlocks the door. We step in and there is a woman thats as old as my mother sitting on the couch, brushing a little girls hair. My mother is automatically pissed. "We have to 'SHARE' a home?". she asked the guard. "Oh yes, you do, but don't worry. They have also been transferred from the capital as a punishment. Her 16 year old daughter was a slaved Avox in the Capital, who had done what she was not told to accomplish as her order from the president." He explained. My mother looked at him with a puzzeled face. She didn't get not one word he said.

  "She didn't follow instructions." I told her. she nodded. I gave that guard a looking that shocked him a million miles away. he just saluted, and went back to the train.

  "Hello," the lady said to us. "Hiya!" My mother said feeling estatic. "I'm Renee." she implyed to my mother. The lady seemed to be peaceful, like she was home. I walked away without introducing myself. This might sound impolite or rude but I really didn't wanna here all of that boring awkwardness.

  I was impulsed with a sweet sounding singing remedy, coming from a room with animal pelts as decorations and rugs. the walls were painted a fine burgendy-brown, and smoothe black bibble like designes scattered the bottom. It was the Avox girl. singing a song that had came from what was once france. It was delivered to Panem after the 13th district's fall. I drop inside. My body flows with peace and i am soothed.

  She looks at me and stops automatically. "Hey." I say. She had been caught red-handed. She could talk.

  "Hi..." she said. I sit next to her. "So you can speak." I say. "Yes." She says. Our conversation is rock cold but I get some information out of her. "I not a criminal ya know." She pushes out. "Than why were you a slave?" I asked. thinking of explanations. "I made a deal with the authorities. I would live the rest of my life an Avox, never to be married, never to have children. I gave up my freedom, to keep my words. The only bitter end of that deal was that I could not speak. EVER. If I spoke in the Capital I would have the death sentence. Along with my family."

  "They Played you..." I imply. "Yes. And I am a fool for cooperating." she says. "What's your name anyway?" I ask. "Korhneilia." she tells me. It's also the title of that song. I remember it exactly. My Grandmother sang it to me as a child.

  "That's beautiful." I say, sounding like a pet. "Thank-you Axcel." She says. "How did you know my name?" I say, "I...Guessed. It's from your auroa." She says oddly. I want to continue to conversate but she says, "Hey I wanna show you something.", I play and say, "It's not a dead body is it?" She giggles.

  She took me out back, where there is a steel fence. She brings me to the middle, and tells me to step back. She pushes her hair back and kicks the steel. A hole is formed from a piece that was cut. We crawl through. I help her fit the large piece back into it's place. She pulls out a blue orb, and rubs it against her arm. It lights up illuministly. She takes pieces of it off, and as we walk into the woods she throws them to the ground. They form into Capital like walk-way panels down through the split woods. This is oviously Capital material. I'm not suprised at all. I don't blame her for taking some stuff here from there. She's pretty smart for that. I was.

  She takes me to an oasis in the middle of the woods. She throws the remains of the Capital property in the pond. The pond turns bright blue, and it's breathtaking. I sit on a rock and stare at the fish. It's super dark out side. "Are you hungry?" She asked me. I break my gaze to turn to her. I just nod. I'm starving!

  She reaches into The log she was sitting on and draws out a spear. I look shocked. She's a hunter. Like my grandmother.
