I'm a riddle, wrapped inside an enigma, wrapped inside a taco.

This is why I hate District Two. There are waaaaaaay too many Peacekeepers. I'm already out of breath, even though I haven't been running all that long. Dammit. Alright so I'm not the strongest kid. I need to find somewhere to hide. Ah... A dark house, and luckily I just rounded a corner. The peacekeeper can't see me. I dodge inside the house.

"Who are you and what are you doing in my house?" I squelch a scream.
I turn to see the kid addressing me. My eyes widen. "I tried to break you out of jail!" oddly, I hug him. "Thank god! Please, can I hide somewhere? I need to lie down for a while." I put my hand to my forehead. It's been days since I last ate, and I didn't sleep last night. I sigh and lean back against the shut door. Leaning turns to sliding, my back moving across the wood, me ending up with my pounding head on my shaking knees. No, it's not just my knees shaking, my entire body is shaking with exhaustion. "Please." I mutter thickly. "I really really need to rest, preferably somewhere dark and close."

I woke up to a strange sound outside. It sounded sort of like a ballerina tapping her shoes on the polished floor. Just slightly more rough. I got out of bed and checked my parents room. Of course...empty. "Out on a midnight stroll again" I mutter angrily. I walk downstairs to see a figure in the door way. "Who are you and what are you doing at my house"? The figure runs over to me and to my suprise she hugs me. Ive never been hugged by a girl before and then she snaps me back to reality. "I tried to break you out of jail". She said. It was her the one I liked and she just shows up and hugs me. " Thank god! Please, can I hide somewhere? I need to lie down for a while." "I really really need to rest, preferably somewhere dark and close." "I guess you could hide in my brothers bed.. he kinda passed away and my parents haven't bothered to sell that crappy thing yet". "Its close and dark".

"Thanks." I whisper. I pause, straining every muscle to get myself up off the floor. "I-I don't think I'm going to be able to get up." I look up at him, knowing he'll recognize how glazed over my eyes are. How pale and thin my face is. I feel a sudden upsurge of longing for home. I look back down, shutting my eyes tightly so I won't cry. It's not home so much that I miss, not the place. The house with it's bad memories. I miss my sister. She would have just nodded immediately when I said I needed to rest, and she would have carried me somewhere. I remember, so many times, falling asleep to a quiet humming sound and Tyra's cold hand brushing my hair back from my face. I wrench myself out of the memories and whisper, "I can't walk, so... Do you think you could carry me? Please?"

I look at her with compassion she is so helpless. "Yes I will". I pick her up and I gently walk up the stairs not wanting to disturb her. I stare into her eyes that are so tired. I sure hope my parents dont come home but what can I expect they dont come home from walks until like two days. Plenty of time for me to have her taken care of. We finally reach my room and I walk her over to the bed. I gently rest her down on the bed and I kneel down and hold her hand gently stroking her palm with my fingertips. I wait and wait until I hear the gentle breathing and I brush a strand of hair from her forehead and gently whisper "goodnight". I walk over to my ruffled bed lie down and gently start drifting off.

I wake up with a start. A nightmare. I'm still tired but I won't be able to get back to sleep. I see the boy sleeping in a bed across the room. I pause before softly calling out, "Hey." he wakes, looking at me. "I'm sorry to wake you up." I whisper hoarsely. "It's just... I had a nightmare, and..." I sigh. "Usually talking to somebody is the only way to get my mind off of it." suddenly I frown. "Oh. You never told me your name. I feel like that's kind of wrong." i can't think of why that hits me now, when all I should he thinking about is my own rapidly declining health. But maybe I have to cling to the normal things when they come.

Im sleeping peacefully when I hear a whisper call "hey". I wake up and look at her and she explains that she had a nightmare. She asks me my name before I get out of bed and I announce Dakota. I walk over to her and sit. "Are you okay now unless you need me to get you anything". I sit on the edge of her bed and stare into the emptiness of my brothers wardrobe. My parents deserted his stuff and its so sad to see it. I turn and look at her to wair for her reply

I hesitate. "I should probably eat something, I guess..." I look at him. "Otherwise... I can't think of anything." Liar. I really need for Tyra to be here, but he can't do that. I shiver. "May-maybe another blanket." memories fly up again. Most distinct is when I was nine and I was sick, more sick than I'd ever been. Tyra gathering up all the blankets she could find in the house, including her own, and covering me in them. Her frowning, eyes dark with worry, as she fussed and asked if there was anything at all she could do. Me telling her that I couldn't think of anything, except maybe singing to me. I always love to hear her sing. I had fallen asleep to it that night, and woken with Tyra's back against my own, her having lay down there in an effort to cool my temperature.

Now I find -to my utter shame- that tears are dripping down my cheeks. I shake my head. My shaking hand comes up to my eyes, weakly brushing the glittering tears away.

She asked me for food and blankets. I cant help but notice her starting to cry a little. I feel so bad for her. I go downstairs and I see a bunch of peacekeepers walking through the woods with search dogs. Luckily they pass my house. I continue to look through the cabinet and I pull out a block of cheese. I cut it up in little squares then I take out crackers. I also walk into my parents room and grab their blanket. I go upstairs and lay the blanket over her gently. I hand her the crackers and cheese on a tray and I go into my bed and pull the covers over my body to my neck and I start shivering. It is cold in here. No furnace, no heat. I try to wrap up to keep from shivering but it keeps escaping my body
