That night, dreams consumed my brain slowly until I drifted away into a nightmare.
There was a culprit and 19 victims. The victims were dead. The culprit would PAY. A Eupelite police siren sounded not far in the distance, and a ghostly pale witness sighed in short relief. After a minute of staring, listening, hiccuping, a girl arrived. She came along with a lady that pointedly looked like her older self. She ran to the bloody body of Iris Williams and she slapped her in the face.
"You. I thought you were my friend. I couldn't have been more wrong." The girl snapped. Then all the dead bodies of tributes faded away. Only the girl, Iris and the lady remained, and the surroundings faded as well.
"Who are YOU?" Iris seethed.
The girl threw back her head and laughed in a "NOT FUNNY" way. "AHAHAHA! District One had really changed you! ME? Why, I'm the first person you killed! I'm your best friend. I am Alt-"
I woke up with a jolt. The night sky was dark and I broke into cold sweat. I tried to laugh my fear off, tell myself the nightmare wasn't real, just...well, a nightmare. But it seemed so REAL. So highly impossible that I was unsure whether it was a dream or a nightmare. Well, I am in the games, how much worse could it get?
I definitely spoke too soon. A cry echoed through the hallways.
I heard a discreet hiss. "Shut up, you fool. You should be happy, you won't need to compete in the games!" A sour voice whispered. I heard a squelching stab. Then the moan of the last breath of life. This was more than the games. It was murder. And this was only the beginning.
