The hunger games 09sabre edition

freedom from the arena

* sabre * 

 a hover craft appears in the air above us sending down to ladders . andrew and i climb on and the electric current freezes us on . i'm glad because i don't think andrew could hold on by himself . the injury on his leg had been ripped back open by a mutt while he was running and he was bleeding out . after a few minutes we were back on the ground  somewhere . we were unfrozen from the ladder and andrew  fell onto the ground unconscious from blood loss . i was still tightly holding his hand not wanting to lose him again . doctors and  nurses swarmed over him and pulled me away . leaving me alone . i knew he was being saved . i just had to keep reminding myself he was going to be alright . i  ran after him seeing the doctors like another pack of mutts designed to kill him . just another threat . i needed to [protect him . i was pulled back by a strong arm . and locked into a glass room .i screamed my head off kicking and punching the glass . i felt trapped  . the room was too small , i was alone . suddenly a door opened and my stylist and friend in the capital came in .  Scott !

Scott : why are you screaming and trying to break the glass so much . andrew will be fine .

sabre : i'm just so used to protecting him . i feel like he's in danger .

Scott ; i know how you feel .  protective of your boyfriend . i acted the same way in the hunger games during my year .

sabre : you competed .

Scott : yeah . several years ago .  i had to watch someone  i loved dearly  be killed .  i still wish i could have traded places with him .

sabre : how did he die .

Scott : do you remember the year where a crazy tribute tried to smash everyone's head in . poor jack .  he was at the lake at the wrong time of the day . but i won that year .    the crazy tribute starved to death because he couldn't climb trees where all the food was .  i won by default . i try not to live in the past my friend . 

sabre : what if andrew dies . 

Scott : just try not to think negatively and he'll be fine .

sabre ; alright.  where are you going .

Scott : i was sent in here . only to calm you down .  i was given six minutes . i'll see you soon . don't worry .

sabre : thanks for helping me Scott .  he didn't hear what i had said , because he was already out the door and i was alone in the glass prison like room once more . once more i feel the need to  protect andrew i hurled myself against the glass once more it began to crack again and again a piece fell out of the wall suddenly i felt a sharp needle  stab me in the back . i fell into darkness .  when i woke up my hand was interlocked with Andrew's . the ceiling above me was dimly glowing with white light . i was in hospital clothes . i moved one of my hands to feel  my scars around my face .  i moved my hair away from my bad ear when i heard something from the movement . it wasn't an illusion i could hear again .  the several scars across my left eye  were cleaned , but were most likely permanent . suddenly a portion of the wall opened and a purple hair avex girl came in . she put a tray on my lap and pushed a button that put me in a sitting position . she smiled and placed a silver spoon in my hand .  i refused to eat anything . still not trusting  anyone except the unconscious andrew by my side . i knew the girl had lost the ability to talk after  her tongue was cut out for a punishment for a crime . i had asked her a simple question i knew would bring her no harm . what happened .  and she uttered three barely intelligible words . her words were missing vowels syllables , but i couldn't blame her for that . 

avex girl : doctors fixed you .

 the girl smiled and walked out of the room the wall closing behind her . i thought about my home . district twelve hurrying to put together a homecoming celebration for me .  mother and Lucas and moose . moose ! what would he think about andrew . what would everyone think about andrew . i tried to get out of the bed and was instantly knocked out by a liquid in the iv that was in my right arm . i woke up once again  , but andrew had disappeared and  the iv was gone as well . on the foot of the bed was a folded outfit . it was what  all the tributes wore in the arena .  i looked at it as if it had teeth . i got dressed and left the room i yelled Andrew's name listening for a respond i got one . but it wasn't his voice it was red's i ran down the hallway and hugged him . for the first time i hugged my worst enemy the on who put me in here . in the room i saw red trying to get away from me in a ugly green tuxedo and  Scott in a flamboyant outfit . my trainer was wearing the usual  plain t-shirt and jeans . i  didn't see andrew anywhere .  where is he . 

red : they wanted to do your reunion live . 

trainer : so he's still resting . 

sabre : i thought he would be here .  i felt Scott's arms wrap around me  protectively .

Scott : he's alright sabre.  you'll get to see him soon .

red ; okay your reunion with andrew is in two minutes do you want Scott to walk you to the stage .

sabre ; yes . thank you .

Scott : its just this way .

sabre : i wish the capital didn't have to broadcast every part of me and Andrew's life right now .  i was walked into an elevator and it raised up to a platform that led to a stage .

Scott : i know , but  to the capital you and andrew are game pieces to me you're a friend .

sabre :  i just hope we get home soon ..
