Televised Screams Chapter 11
_{Dragged violently into the water causes the remaining traces of oxygen easily escape my lungs. I look down and see tentacles of some sort of mutant dragging lower and lower into the lake. I take out my knife from my belt, and try to saw of the tentacle as it drags me even deeper into the pitch black abyss. I can barely breathe, and start to lose conciousness as the black water around me starts to grow even colder, and suddenly lighter. I am thrashed around like a rag doll as the creature now looks me in the eyes with it's filmy, disgusting orbs of sight. I use my remaining strength to scream, and I soon start to black out... Then... my knife hits in straight in the eye just as im flown into oblivion...
                                                                                   ...
              I wake up cold and wet, screaming as I look into the peachy sky. The sun is moments away from creeping into full bloom. I see Amria's cocky figure hunching over me. "Why did you go in the water Preston?" I can barely speak as I grace the strangulation marks along my neck. "I- I needed some water, and then I decided to cool my feet off by wading them in the water..." She just gives me this dissappointed look and rants about my idiotic decision of just putting my feet in the water. "-you always have on your toes in the Games Preston. That's rule 1! I thought you died! Did you know how worried I was about losing the only other valuable member in the alliance!?" Only other valuable member... That's apparently her only way of caring. It's sadly sort of true. Paisley and Mullin have been basically living off of the two of us for the past few days. Now I have this debt that I have to pay off to Amira...
              "How did you even manage to save me?" "It was actually pretty easy. Suddenly, I wake up and you're missing, there's water being thrown around, and then you are violently thrown into the air. You fell on the ground pretty hard though, so I thought you were a goner. But, there was no cannon fired. So I just tucked you in and took over the watch for the night." I sit up and wince a bit from the huge throbbing pain in my back, but I manage to hold the scream down. "Thanks... I owe you. For saving my life, and taking watch.." "It's really nothing... I'm not tired or anything," Amira hands me a roll with the number 6 imprinted into it, "It's from some of our sponsors. I'm guessing from your mentor. I already know your strategy... More allies equals more sponsors." I blush a bit and try to deny the truth. "It's smart, so don't act embarrassed. I mean, aren't we all tools of the Games anyways?" I take the roll hungrily and take small bites as the sun peaks over the mountain tops. "Thanks... ally." Amira cockily smiles, "No problem, ally..." Suddenly, a cannon causes mockingjays to flutter wildly around the patch of land ahead of us. "Ten down... Twelve to go..." Amira looks at me shocked... "I see Preston... This alliance is really going to be short lived." The two of us awkwardly finish our meager breakfast...}

_{So Preston is getting attacked in the water by tentaclessss.... XD Do I smell a rape? Anyways, this chapter is dedicated to ~HermioneatHoneydukes cause she is sick and I wanted to lighten her day up. Enjoy!!}
