PEETA'S' POV

I wake up on a cold metal floor,
I feel a fluttering beneath me, like the ground is moving

Looking over I see a familiar head of light blonde curls. I startle and hit my head on something looming not 3 feet above me
"Bare" I whisper
"Bare!" My voice gets raspy as I shake Bare gently, but he won't wake up

I pull him into my lap and try to hold it together, but my memory starts to come back to me, and I begin to slip

My breathing is so Wildly uneven that I begin to hyperventilate, but I calm myself, I refuse to pass out, I need to stay awake

After I calm myself to the point where I'm no longer shaking, my mind starts to clear; Bare and I were in the rose garden, I heard a faint buzzing; then buzzing got louder; I looked up to find a helicopter with a man dangling to the side; he shot me in the leg and Bare in the arm. THE ARM

I turn Bare over and find the shell still lodged in the surface of his skin. It's far enough to the surface that I'm able to pull it out without worrying about hitting a major artery

We sit in the plane for what feels like hours, yet Bare doesn't wake up. I start to get nervous.
Yes Bare is smaller than I am, so the effects last longer, but almost 12 hours more?

12 HOURS! That's how long I've been sitting in this plane, nobody has come into the tight room we've been shoved in, not even to make sure we weren't escaping. Wait.... if they aren't checking on us on purpose, they must have cameras

16 hours have passed and finally the large metal door opens a crack

I'm asleep on the floor with Bare close to my side, still unconscious

A skinny man walks through, and babbles something in Russian to the the man in front, then he reaches for a gun in his pocket and walks towards us

Instinctively I pull Bare behind me
"Hello Mr. Mellark" he says, even though he's obviously Russian, his English is so clear, it's almost as if he changes between two completely different people

"We have arrived and I'm afraid that means we have to do this" he said, he smirks, points his gun at me and pulls the trigger



So I've given up on writing super long chapters, they are now going to be short and painful hehehehehe, have a great day! (If you can after reading this) also don't kill me 😉
