Fighters From District 2

Chapter 34

We have been here for a month now. Enobaria's arm hasn't been treated. We get beaten everyday. Having lethal substance injected into our bodies. We don't get fed as much. We get a loaf of bread a day and dirty water. My baby isn't with me anymore. I don't think it would be anyway. But I have been rubbing my stomach and talking to the baby. But nothing. The capitol doesn't want to kill us. But Emily is another story. They beat her in cell with a whip and bat. It's horrible too watch. Johanna is slowly losing her hair. She is pulling it out when she gets beaten and listening to the screams. We are all caving in. We can see out bones. Emily's is the worst. Her face is caving in now. Her hair is gone. Only left with tuffs on her bleeding scalp. My scar is going black and it's so painful. Yesterday I had an injection of a cyan liquid. I heard them talking about what it does. They said it should make me calm but break out into violence at random times. It hasn't happened yet. I managed too control them. When I was sleeping Enobaria said that I was screaming and clawing with neck. She said I was turning into a shell of my former self. We are losing hope of ever walking out of here alive. A man walks in "stand up!" He shouts. I look over too where he stands. Big and tall. No one moves "I said! Stand! Up!" I shouts. We all begin to stand up he unlocks or cells and people put us in cuffs. The drag us alone too a white room and we all sit in it. "It's clean up time!" Shouts the man and a cold water hose is shot at us. It's freezing Emily is pushed against the wall. And is drowning. The room is filling with water as Johanna makes her way over to Emily. She picks her up too stop her from drowning. The water stops and floods over from under us. The men come in and drag us away again. We are taken too a different cell it was padded walls but still bars. The cells aren't in lines they are in a sort of hexagon shape. I'm thrown into a cell and wait as I shake from the cold water. Johanna is opposite me again and Enobaria next to her. Emily is thrown next too Johanna. I can see everyone from here. Emily is shaking uncontrollably. And I watch her turn blue

"Do-d-do you think. We-we will ever get out. Of here?" I stutter. Johanna looks too me

"I'm no-not sure, if your hero won't save us. The-then i don't know" she says. I look to my hands. They are purple and my feet and blue. It's so cold. I rest against the padded wall and someone walks in.

"Emily?!" He shouts. He turns around too see a blue body shaking on the ground. He drags her out of her cell and takes her away.

"She's not coming back" says Johanna "she's dead weight then again. Aren't we all. Cato won't save us Clove. He won't. He will find someone else. Grow old with them." She says. I look up too her as she speaks.

"I know. He thinks I'm dead" I tell her. "He can't find me. He wouldn't know were too start" I tell her. Johanna looks down into her forearm. And rubs it.

"If they are smart enough. They will know where Enobaria and I are. But not you" she says

"What?" I ask. She rubs her arm

"Our trackers. They don't only know where we are in the arena" she tells me. I suddenly feel hope that they will find us. My eyes begin to fade to black and I fall asleep. Time doesn't mean anything anymore. I still sleep when ever I get the chance.

"Stand up! Everyone!" I hear someone shout. I begin to climb up and hold the bars "back to your cells!" He shouts. And we all get back too where we were first. It's colder here. But we are dryer. When we get there. We see Emily sitting upright in her cell.

"Emily?" I ask

"Clove. The capitol are only trying to help us. And keep you safe from the others. The ones that were trying to get it. The ones that wanted to save you. They wanted to hurt you. The capitol are helping" she says. She looks healthy again. But her eyes are a brighter blue. Than last time "don't be scared. Let them do their job. To keep you safe" she says. I don't believe her. Not now anyway. She suddenly collapses on the ground in a fit. Now I really don't believe her.
