Sirens wail and flashing lights loosely surround the lake casting reflections of blue and red into the valley. Crime scene tape blocks of a little section of the lakeside and officers in a boat are dragging for bodies. A couple; man and wife, went missing yesterday evening. Now it’s late at night the next day. The police had picked up on some clues and they had found dried bloodstains where the cr...
The Capitol train moves with breathtaking speed. Since I live in District Two the train ride is even shorter than the rest of the districts. Alexandra calls us to dinner and we eat like kings and queens, not like we don’t but the food is still scrumptious. After dinner we head into the lounge car to watch the recap if the reapings. The tributes from One and Four look fit and will be good partners....
I grab my sisters hand and pull her towards me and the cliff edge. She nods slowly, her nervousness showing through the brave face she’s put on. Then we jump. Falling is an interesting thing. It’s only a few seconds but it can feel like hours. I look down and see the whirlpool spring into action. The sensors around us have picked up our movement and made the whirlpool open. My sister and I discove...
“The female tribute from District Two is…” Alexandra drew it out like she always did. Alexandra was actually attractive. Being from the Vapitol you would expect her to be creepy and crazy looking. She had light lilac hair, piercing blue eyes and perfect postre and figure. She cleared her throat and called out. “Lillith Cole.” I walk toward the stage, head high, rigid shoulders and a smile on my fa...
We had found a new game one that we would all enjoy: Witches and Wizards. It was a simple and fun game or rather it looked like it. The rules however were a whole different level. One night we get it out, studied the rules, set it up and began playing. It was pretty fun. Until it wasn’t. The workd began to twist and swirl. When my eyes cleared, My family and I were in a diffrent realm....
I love exploring. I do it every day whenever I have time. One weekend I found a new path that I had never seen before in the Blackwood. That weekend I packed some tools and supplies and headed down the path. The woods were bursting with the colour of spring. Birdsong was echoing and I could catch glimpses of the tail feathers or the wingtips of the vocalists. I rounded a bend and saw a pool of wat...
I always come to the lake on Saturdays; rain or shine clouds or mist. It was one of the foggy Sarurdays. Normally I would come with my brother or a few friends. This time though I was alone, I spread out a blanket and sat down. I listened to the gentle crash of the waves on the rocky line of the lake’s shore. I watch a boat make choppy waves in its wake. Then I stiffen, one of the men in the boat ...
I open my eyes and rubthe cobwebs out of my eyes. I bolt upright and stare with a perfect ‘O’in suprise. My room is completely diffrent, in fact it isn’t my room. It has crystal white walls, pale wispy lilac curtains, pristine white carpet. Maple furniture, tapestrys on the walls, a roaring fire. Everything screams expensive and if my parents somehow was able to become rich in one night, order all...
