Sand running between my closed fingers pulls me across the line of consciousness, the sensation unfamiliar to my mind and therefore dangerous but shouldn't I be out of danger? Shouldn't I be safe here, after all, I am dead right? I flutter open my eyes, expecting the sound of my rapidly beating hear to be in my ears before I remember that my heart has ceased forever, nevermore will I have the sensation of blood being pumped through my veins instead, I am simply a spirit of my former self. Gazing down, I see my hands clenched involuntarily around grains of white sand upon which I have woken. How did I get here? Memories begin to flood through my mind like a broken damn that has burst inside of me. I remember Fracescas blade cutting through me, pain, saying good-bye and then nothing, just darkness. Wait a moment, hands? I lost my hands in the arena. Cautiously, in case this is all just an illusion and at any point it could shatter, I raise my arms in front of me and sure enough, two fully functioning hands stare back at me.
I cannot hold back the laugh that escapes from between my lips, never before have I been so happy to see my hands again, as if they were really so important (they were). My stomach aches as giggles errupt and I curl into a ball trying to catch my breath but not before a single tear escapes my eyes. I am so happy yet at the same time, all I want to do is curl up and cry like I have never cried before. I want to cry because I am a coward, I left Luke and Aurora to fend for themselves as they died, I left them to lie there, helplessly, as their lives slowly ebbed away. "Oh, god, Luke and Aurora, I'm so so sorry I couldn't save either of you" apparently, they aren't the only ones I couldn't save, I couldn't even save my own damned life. I made it so far only to be cut down by three carreers who wanted me dead. Funny how life gets, being killed by the very people I wanted dead for ending Lukes life took my own life from me.
My hands wrap around the necklace around my neck and I feel a slight bit of comfort that it came with me into the afterlife. I am not completely alone, I at least have a reminder of home with me. Home I will never be able to return to my home in district eleven. I broke my promise to Briar, sweet little Briar is probably going to shatter when she finds out that I am not coming home, when the harsh realities come crashing down onto her fragile shoulders. Colin, what is he feeling right now? I left my twin in the other world, the oldest in my family and now he has so much responsibility on him now, the only one to provide for Lark, Aspen, my mom and Briar. I am so sorry Colin I think before standing up from the sand. At first, my legs are shaky but after a few moments, I manage to walk in a straight line over the beach, trying to find something to give me a clue as to where on earth(well technically not earth but still) I am.
After a few moments, I find myself amoung trees of all types, most that I have never seen before, tall and with huge leaves, almost like fans I have read about. What is this place called "A jungle" the reply brings me up short. I did not expect Iris to follow me into the afterlife. Less than ten feet away, she stands before me, I did not know what to expect when I actually saw her but it certainly was not this. She is a mirror image of me but there is a cool collected glint in her eye that will never be in mine. "What were you expecting something else?" I shake my head and she laughs. "Just so you know, you're the only one able to see me." with that she disappears, leaving me baffled and utterly astonished. What in Ripreds name was that?
I continue to wander before a figure not too far away catches my attention. I can't tell who it is at the moment but as I get closer, I begin to make out the details of someone I thought I would never see again. Luke. My feet automatically pick up the pace and before I can help myself, I am racing through the undergrowth that lies between us and launch myself at him, wrapping my arms around his familiar body. "Luke" I breathe, hardly able to believe that he is here, and feel tears form in my eyes. "I'm sorry I wasn't there when you died, I'm so so so sorry"
