The Nem Panem

Chapter 19

*Fay

After Tara walked out her guard stayed and kept hitting me. Over and over in the jaw, breaking my nose, and giving me a black eye. When he was done I was pretty sure I was going to pass out. I feel so bruised up it's so bad. I can hardly feel my face. I can only see out of one eye. I feel my nose bleed bad dribbling down my face. My wrists are all cut up from trying to free myself from the restraints.

This is so hopeless I think. When am I ever going to get out of here? How am I ever going to get out of here? Ughhhhhh

I pull on the restrains more and more. My face is just numb but sensitive so I try not to pass out. All of a sudden I hear something behind the door to the back. Fighting. Someones fighting outside that door. I hear swords clash together. I hear someone being pushed against the wall. Who's out there? I think to myself. Then I think they're fighting. They're here to save me. The hooded men would never fight each other.

"HELP," I scream, "HELP I'M IN HERE!"

"HELP! PLEASE SOMEONE!!!!" I scream even louder this time.

I hear the fighting going on for a few seconds and then it stops. I hear footsteps. Okay Fay get ready I think to myself. I brace myself for whoevers about to walk in here and then to my surprise and my relief it's Joshua.

"Joshua," I say in just a whisper my voice had gone hoarse from screaming.

Joshua I can see has relief on his face too but it's strained. I look behind him and in the doorway lies the dead body of a hooded man. He killed him. Joshua killed one of them. I can't believe it. I can see the mans face and he looks younger than most of the hooded men probably in his twenties.

Joshua comes over to me quickly. But when he looks at me he gapes at the wounds on me."Fay," he says urgently. And examines my cuts.

"It's fine," I say. He unties me quickly.

"What's the plan?" I ask him.

"The plan is to escape but Mom and Dad are fighting right now so we have to fight too."

"I don't have a weapon."

"Use these for now," he says and gives me a gun. I had never used a gun before. I have to get my bow.

"Let's fight our way to my bow and where their weapons are and then we'll fight our way to Mom and Dad," I say. He nods and we walk out into the hallway.

Right then three hooded men are out in the hallway practically waiting for us to come out. They pull out their weapons and we pull out ours and the fight begins.
