The rue diaries // n.f

Chapter 11- Well played

"I expected you to make it this far rue" seneca approaches me. "Where are they?" I command. He points a scraggy finger at a door. Cautiously walking over to the door I tap it. The door falls down revealing the two helpless tributes. Mouths duct-taped. Chairs slammed against the walls. Souls struggling to break free. Injecting both of them and ripping off the tape i manage to whisper "Run".

The two tributes scurry out the door. No one bothers to stop them everyone's attentions stay on a screen. They were watching me. "Only took her 10 minuets wow!" Seneca exclaimed still focusing on the screen.Was this the plan? Were they going to kill me and use this footage to make it look like i participated in the games? Just the thoughts infuriated me. Grabbing the closest object in sight i ran up to seneca. Whacking him up the head with it i slammed him against the wall. "I know what your trying to do and your not getting away with it" I screamed. Throwing my arm into a chokehold he only manages to get out two faithful words. "Presidents orders".

Eventually the lady with the blue hair got a hold of me and sent me into the hallway. She had no idea what had happened she managed just to conveniently walked in while i was giving seneca a life-threatening moment. Walking back to the conference room i opened the door. Everyone stopped what they were doing. Closing the door behind me i sat in the corner where the drawer- or whatever was left of it had been. Thresh attacked me from behind. "What are you doing?" I yelped. "Hugging you because you just saved my life" he said pulling me back up so i could sit again. "Your the only one who said thank you" i sigh looking down. wouldn't i?" He said pulling my chin up. "Its not that big of a deal" i try to say but it was too late he kissed my cheek again.

Getting up i begin to walk. I didnt want to see him disgusted at what every aftermath of a kiss from mebrought him. "Rue wait please" he pleads. "Its fine" i say turning around, but it obviously wasn't. Tears had left my eyes and my voice was filled with sorrow. Turning back around i stuffed my self in the sleeping bag.

Everytime he kissed me it felt like a burden to him. Did he not want to? I realized everyone had fell asleep. Closing my eyes i was drifted into a dream. I was under water. Slowly but swiftly i swam. I was looking for something but i didn't know what. "Rue" a voice said. Swimming toward it i answered. "Yes?". "The keeper of your heart lies at the bottom of this wedded river" it said. Swimming deeper i reached a stop. "Where are they?" I asked. "Open your eyes" the voice commanded. Opening my eyes there laid the tall muscular figure staring right back at me. Thresh.
