Snippet #1942171

Serafina ran. And ran. And ran. Why did she do that? She couldn't take him on, he was taller AND probably stronger than her. She finally stopped when she could not hear anyone coming after her. Serafina gasped for breath, she had run at least a mile. She collapsed on the icy snow. It was tempting her, she could imagine it now; cold, refreshing snow to cool her hoarse throat. But she coudn't. She had to stay alive, for.... well, herself. She got an idea. She built a mound of the snow, at placed her water bottle in the centre. Just like a cool freezer. Once she was satisisfied, she pulled out her water bottle and drank a few mouthfuls. Serafina applauded herself for her idea. But now she was cold. She shivered, and decided to find a place to spend the rest of the night. She found a tree, whose branches were strong and thick and could hold her up easily. She climbed it easily and curled up into a ball to sleep.

"Arrrgh!" cried Serafina.
Light blinded her as she realized she had her night vision glasses on in the day. She took them off and stuffed them into her bag. She quickly realized she probably alerted everything in the area that she was there. She did a quick scan of the area and jumped down from the tree. She then realized she had no plans whatsoever about where to go. She stood there thinking about where to go next. She thought about how she could have used some backup when she was trying to kill that boy. She smiled. She needed an ally. But who? The careers? They could probably tell by the look of her she wasn't one of them. That boy and whoever was in the tree? No way, she tried to kill them. The little girl from district 3 she pitied? Maybe, if times got tough. Then, it came to her. She had to find her district partner. What was his name again? Kaiden? Yes, that was it. She saw him at the bloodbath, he was tall, strong-looking and as much as Serafina didn't want to admit, very good-looking. She knew he would still be alive, he would have smelt the poison, and he looked strong enough to take on a rhino with no trouble at all, let alone a puny tribute. She hoped with all her heart he had not joined the careers, so she would not have to join them herself. Serafina breathed in heavily. She would just have to look for him.
