hook, stitch, twitch, fall. The steps repeated over and over, seared into my memory.
"He's never coming back, is he Lenny?"
I thought about Finnick, my older brother, and how he never really came back from his games. They had stolen him away into the capitol a long time ago. They told me if I caused any trouble, Mlly would be dead before I could say Peacekeeper.
"I don't know Milly," I said mainly for her sake. My name had been called for the reaping yesterday. It's differrent in district 4 because here you have to keep constant watch on the ocean to make sure no mutants penetrate the Farm.
I's be leaving tonight.
"Your leaving too...right?"
"Yeah Milly, I've gotta say hello to the Capitol for a while," it wasn't a hunger games honor to be picked for everyone in 4. Just those who didn't know any better.
Milly, my little blonde angel, hugged my arm, looking up at the sky with me. A full moon was reflecting the water and the waves were shh-ing Mill to sleep.
I picked her up and carried her to the cinderblock shack of our sleeping quarters. Laying her down on the palm shuck hammock.
kn-ock kn-ock. I looked up at the moon one last time here in district 4, allowing one single sea-salt tear to fall. Kissing Milly quickly and closing the door behind me as I walked out of the cinderblock shack.
"Leona Odair, Your are the female tribute of this years Hunger Games, we are hear to relieve you of your duty as senior aquatic mutt terminator and knot tier. Please come with us."
Senior? i thought sarcastically and replied walking past them, "Well come on then." I will finish this.... my last rebellion.
