I can't believe those words just came out of my mouth, I volunteered. I couldn't leave my brother, he means to much to me. The officials brought me to the front and the lady said " we have our first volunteer. What's your name dear?" " Judith Grimes" I replied. "so is that your brother?" "yes." Then she said "let's hear it for our tributes Carl and Judith Grimes." Only a few people clapped but in the background I could see dad crying.
They brought both of us to a room in the town hall, a minute later dad came barging in the official guarding us told him "take all the time you need" on the account of my dad being the faction leader. He asked me "why did you volunteer?" " because I don't want my brother out there with a stranger." I replied. " plus he said he would volunteer for me if I was picked." "Man now I wish that I would have taught you to shoot a gun" "I'll teach her." Carl said. " you better." dad replied. "dad" I said " are you mad at me?"
"how could I be mad at you when you're about to be taken from me." "I love you dad" I said. Then the official came in and said "time to go". I gave dad a hug that I wished it would last forever, but I was pulled away and as I was walking I heard dad say to Carl "protect her with your life!"
We got on the train which looked like a prison from the outside but on the inside it was a palace. There was a chocolate fountain, rare delicacies that can't be found here, and so much more. I couldn't help but stand in awe. Then carl said " don't get distracted." "I'll try"
I was getting tired because it was almost night so I told the brown haired lady, who I now know is named Cassady, that I was going to bed. She had an official take me to the back of the train were my room was. Once I got in there the official left I got a shower and put on the gown that was in the drawer. I went to the bed and pulled back the covers and took of the decorative pillows. But I noticed something on the regular pillow. After a minute of inspection I realized it was blood.
