My name is Liliah Winters I'm 15 Years Old I was voted to be the Female Tribute for the 25th Hunger Games I Am A Soldier RP Blog Only FC: Saoirse Ronan
I woke up, tears dried to my face. I held my stomach as it growled, if I didn’t eat something soon, I would surely die. I tried to stand, but tumbled over. I was sure it was from dehydration. The sun was beating down hard, and I hadn’t had a drop of water since before the bloodbath. I was done for.
I stood again, trying to balance as I held my pickaxe. I took a step forward. My head was spinning and I couldn’t see straight. I had never felt so terrible in all my life. There was something in the air, it felt thicker. I spun around, looking for a source of anything. Something smelled, and I knew it couldn’t be good. I had to move, even if it killed me, I couldn’t stop.
I used every bit of strength in my to walk towards the mountain with great haste. I was at the bottom, and closed my eyes for a moment to try and recall what I had learned with Colt in training. I thought about Colt for a moment, he was still alive, as I had not seen his face in the sky, but how long would he last. I hoped more than anything that it would be him that would return home, maybe he could offer my parents some comfort.
I flipped up my collar, stuffing my face deep inside my jacket so just my eyes poked out the top. I began my descent up the hill, often switching to crawling, as I could not stand up straight.
It seemed like I had been walking for hours when I finally couldn’t go any more. I dropped to the ground, staring up at the sun and practically begging for death.
“Please.” I choked out. Maybe Holland was watching, maybe she could see that I needed help. She favored Colt, I knew that, but she couldn’t let me starve, could she? I needed food. I needed water.
I laid there, just praying I would be saved.
What were my parents thinking. I bet father was so disappointed with me. I bet everyone was. My District made me into a joke. I disgraced the family name. I would not die a coward, I would not die a warrior.
I woke up from my slumber in my makeshift camp, that wasn’t really a camp at all. It was just a bit of grass I patted down and my pickaxe held tightly in my hand. I expected it to be bright out, but when I opened my eyes, I saw nothing at all. It was completely black. I am barely able to make out shapes in front of me, and it is noticeably colder. Was it still night time? Did I not sleep as long as I thought?
All of a sudden, I heard something. I didn’t have time to worry about the dark, or my aching belly, in desperate need of food and water. I quickly stood, holding up my pickaxe and frantically turning in all directions.
“Liliah! Help us!” I heard. I turned.
“Who’s there!” I yelled. What was going on? Who was calling me?
“Liliah, please! We’re going to die! Save us!” I heard someone cry.
“Who are you? Where are you? I can’t see you!”
“We’re dying Liliah, save us please!”
“Please, I don’t know what to do!” I screamed, beginning to cry.
“LILIAH!” I heard a woman scream. My head shot towards the sound. I knew that voice, it was my mom.
“Mother?” I asked softly, walking towards the source of the sound, lowering my pickaxe slightly.
“Yes dear, please, come help me, I’m dying.” She called to me. Tears rushed down my face.
“Mother, I don’t know where you are!” I told her.
“I’m right here dear!” She voiced. I turned, to face the sound. “Look at me darling!” I turn again, the sound now coming from a different direction. She kept shouting my name, all the sounds coming from different angles.
“Mommy please! I don’t know where you are!” I sobbed.
“Help us princess! We’re going to die!” Another voice said.
“Daddy?” I cried out.
“Save us princess!” He cried. I fell into a heap on the ground as they shouted at me, the voices surrounding me. I covered my ears, wanting to just die.
“I want to go home.” I cried through my sobs. “I want to go home!” The voices grew louder. I wanted to scream. I held up my pickaxe, ready to end it. Ready to give it all up. I couldn’t take this, it was too much. This was unfair, and just plain cruel.
After my moment of weakness, I stopped. I had made a promise to myself when I came out of that tube. I was not going down as a coward. I was a fighter and a soldier. I will not bow down. I stood slowly, grabbing my pickaxe.. I began to walk further and further north, blocking out the voices in the distance. After a while, I couldn’t hear them anymore. I sighed, shrinking back down in the the grass and pulling my knees into my stomach.
I escaped from the bloodbath, running as fast as I could away from the Cornucopia, my pickaxe in hand. I stopped as I reached a clearing to catch my breath. Had Colt made it through? I shook my head, I couldn’t think about it, not anymore. It was all me, my first priority was me, myself, and I.
I looked around. I saw a few trees, and I huge mountain. I wiped the sweat off my forehead and trudged forward, the weight of the pickaxe beginning to become annoying. Suddenly, I heard something. I looked up and saw a shadow. I gasped a little, taking a step back and raising my pickaxe. I didn’t move, sticking my feet to the ground like glue, poised and ready for the kill. After a few seconds, I slowly began to move forward. The shadow appeared to be getting smaller, farther away. I sighed, lowering my pickaxe a bit and continuing on. I didn’t know if the danger was gone, but I kept walking anyway, occasionally looking towards the shadows previous location, to see if it was still there.
I decided I should explore the arena. All I had was a weapon, maybe there was something more useful around here. I needed food, and water. I took a deep breath and trudged forward.
