I sat in the tent i must have cried for days. Pan comes in and sits down by me. I haven't been the same since they left. I haven't talked hardly at all i don't really look at anyone. I'm lost in my thoughts i can't help but wonder how are they? Pan said "Raven....darling say something". I said nothing i kept quiet. Pan said "please Raven....come back..." says the monster that put me in this despair. He lifted my chin so i would look him in the eye. He said "Please....i need you" I saw deep sadness in his eyes. He let go and i returned to my position he said "take your time talking its fine...its just strange". Then i quoted a line from the Mockingjay poem the hangman. "No stranger would be if we met at midnight in the hanging tree".
Pan's POV.
I heard her say something, but it was strange she said "No stranger would it be if we met at midnight in the hanging tree". I stopped dead in my tracks i look back at her. Then walk out one of the boys said "is she talking?" Another one said "did she look at you?" I said "she said one thing but it was really odd..." Flare said "well what was it"? I said "she said 'No stranger would it be if we met at midnight in the hanging tree'. What could that mean?" One of the newer boys said "thats Part of a poem in the book Mockingjay, Its called hangman". I looked at him and said "why would she quote it?" Flare said "i have no idea....do think....she wants to kill herself?" My eyes widened and said "Maybe we need to watch her carefuly". All the boys nodded then for the first time in 3 weeks my Raven comes out. She sat down on a log the boys all stared at her. Flare walks over and sits by her he said "Raven where all worried about you....say something" she kept quite and stared off into space. Flare said "at least look at us" she didn't move her stare. I said "Raven please...talk" she moved a little and said "Are you, Are you Coming to the tree? Where they stung up a man they say Murdered three.
Strange things did happen there no stranger than it would be
If we met at midnight at the hanging tree". I looked at her i was shocked she said that. I looked at the new boy he said "there's more than that..." I said "really? Do think she'll say the rest of it?" He said "i dunno maybe". She gazed into the fire she stood up and started walking. We fallowed her she said "Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where the dead man called out
For his love to flee.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree." We Fallowed her to the ledge where Henry an Emma left.
She said
"Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run,
So we'd both be free.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree".
She stared off into space for a long time than she said.
"Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Wear a necklace of rope,
Side by side with me.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree".
I started to worry with that last one she tilted her head as if something was confusing her, then said
" Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run,
So we'd both be free.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree".
I said "what dose this mean? What is she doing?" Flare said "i have no idea". She moved a little than she spoke again.
"Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
They strung up a man
They say who murdered three.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree." I'm really worried about Raven she's just say that and only that. Why? She said again
"Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where the dead man called out
For his love to flee.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree." I looked at her she turned around. She walked back not even looking at any of us. She sat down on the log where she was sitting before. I told the boys stay out if the camp for awhile so me and Flare can figure something out. I said "we have to something i can't stand to see her like this".
Raven's POV.
I could hear them talking i just didn't know what they where saying. I heard voices in my head hash terrible voices.
Shame, Shame

You did nothing to save them

Your just as a monster has he is

Killer, Killer KILLER!

Your a worthless human being!

No one loves you Not even Peter!

Beast! Monster! Killer!

Die kill your self on the Hanging Tree!
I whispered "Wear a necklace of rope,
Side by side with me".
