I had almost made it. Could I believe it? No, but what did that matter. I looked around in the deserted and devastated city and sighed. I had stayed alive through crumbling mountains, blizzards and twisting mountains, I could handle a deserted city. I thought. And I hoped. I for the first time in ages, I grabbed my locket and opened it.
I saw the picture of my family, my older sister Mariah and my father. Even he was smiling. Mariah, it had been ages since I had thought of Mariah. She was two years older than me, so she had gone through two reapings more than I did. She taught me everything , from how to casually steal so others won't notice, how to live through reapings and how to survive.
I needed to win, for her. And for dad. I'd show them I'm not the little Hayley anymore, 'cause if I come out of here alive, I'm a victor. But on the other hand, I am still standing in a devastated city and the closest I could get to home now, was my fantasy.
I started searching others (because I couldn't really think of something else to do in a deserted city, I mean it's deserted and devastated) and I ran a bit through the ruins and stones. Gosh, this was like impossible to get through. Suddenly, I tripped over a stone and fell down on the ground. The blood flowed out of the wound. You got to be kidding me! The finale and I am so stupid to trip over a rock?
I tore my sleeve of my shirt and wrapped it round my leg. I stood up again (thank god it looked worse than it felt) and ran as fast as I can. Nothing or nobody was going to exclude Hayley Cullow from this games. I Needed To Win and I'd give all I have.
