Who Needs A Grave When They Are Already Burried(Emery's DP)

[Arrows]

Did you keep your promise?

Lost and insecure
you found me, you found me,

Chaos surrounded her on all sides, screams and cries fused together in a forsaken symphony. The darkness grew stronger as her heart's beats grew slower. Her pain was incomparable to anything else, her blood was pouring from her at a rate no one could stop. It was in this moment she knew she was going to die. She knew Emery Willton would not win these games, she would not ever return home to her brother. This would be the final place she would have a heart beat, the final place anyone would ever be able to see her eyes full of life.

Her throat began to tighten as fear washed over her just as a tsunami crashes over a village. Tears followed from her eyes at a pace to match that of her spilling blood. She was terrified... She didn't know what dying was like, no one did. There weren't instructions on how to die and what happens after. Her body was now shaking uncontrollably, partially from convulsions and also from her terror. She wasn't ready to die yet, no fourteen year old should have to die at this age. Her eyes scanned the darkness for some sort of miracle, but alas all they found was darkness. Even her ears had grown tired as her senses began to deteriorate. She could feel her head spinning as her legs wobbled and shook from her weight. Then it happened...

Lying on the floor
surrounded, surrounded,

A sudden pain that caused her body to break, to fall, to give up. With a slam against the ground she fell to her death bed. She watched her blood dripping from the mutt's mouth as it dealt the final blow. She tried to speak out to one of the cameras that must be on her right now, but she couldn't. She didn't have enough power left, she would never be able to say goodbye to her loved ones. Her tears were now gone and her body began growing limp. Her breaths wavered and she forced her eyes shut. Pain ruled her body now and she longed to stop it but she couldn't. She began gagging on her own blood as it filler her lungs. This is it, her mind whispered as fear wrapped it's chilling claws around her. Then a sudden chill swept through her entire body.

She couldn't move, her entire body was frozen solid by something other than ice but just as cold. She knew she was frozen over by death. Her pain vanished as she was left floating in nothing but darkness. Is this what death is? A never ending freezing darkness? Fear and panic were now abundant within her essence. This can't be it! No please! Please someone help me! I don't deserve this! I don't deserve this! She knew that if she could feel her cheeks in this moment that they would be covered in the moister of her tears.

Why'd you have to wait?
Where were you? Where were you?

She was just about to accept her fate of this never ending black hole when it happened. Light exploded from all around her engulfing her within it. Her body became her own again as its frozen tendrils became washed away by the light. Her fear and panic were now transformed into confusion as she now stood on a small circle of light surrounded completely by other light. What surprised her even more was the fact that she didn't have a single cut upon her and she was wearing a beautiful white dress. What's going on here? Her mind asked itself. As if on cue a lovely woman's voice called out to Emery softly.

"Hello my dearest Emery. I hope you aren't to frightened by all this. I know what you have just had to ordeal was awful, but worry no longer for you will never feel such pain or fear again." Emery whipped her head around in search of the voice and nearly screeched to fine a beautiful young woman with lovely blonde hair and vibrant blue eyes standing next to her. The woman was even wearing the same dress as her. "What's going on? Where are we?" Emery asked before she could help herself. The woman just smiled then said rather sorrowfully, "I am sorry to tell you this but you are dead just as I am. As for what is going on is your initiation to joining the children, my children." Everything came clashing back to her now as she remembered herself fighting the mutts with July. She even remembered the moment she fell and how the dark swallowed her. However, that wasn't what most grabbed her attention. She was truly intrigued about what this initiation to the children was exactly.

Just a little late
You found me, you found me,

Just as her mouth opened the woman placed her finger there as she stated softly, "Just wait and you will see what I mean." As commanded Emery shut her mouth and looked out at the light where the woman was looking. Much to her surprised a bubble now floated in front of her. It wasn't an ordinary bubble though, it seemed to swirl with vibrant colors and even seemed to be humming. With a laugh the woman told Emery to pop it so gingerly she popped it with her finger. Instantly the light around her transformed transporting her to a room where a woman was holding a brand new baby. As she looked closer Emery gasped, the woman was her mother. Then Emery realized the baby was not just any baby, it was her. It was then she put two and two together to realize the bubbles held her memories.

Eagerly she popped the next bubble as it rose in front of her. Just as before the area transformed to create a new image, this time it was of her painting her brother as he posed. Her heart twisted as she longed to be back with him again but she knew she never could again. So as the next bubble appeared she popped it and solemnly watched the next show. This time she recognized it as the Reaping only weeks earlier. She watched and relived the moment as her past self cried in sorrow as she was swept away to the Justice building. Once inside it skipped ahead to when her mother gave her the silver bracelet that was her token and as her entire family hugged one final time. Tears were now falling from her eyes as she popped the next bubble just as her heart was now popping as well. She cried out in agony as the next image revealed her time in the training center with Esme. She watched as they both laughed and painted and ultimately, became friends. She longed so badly to be with her friend now to tell her it would be okay without her there, but the next bubble had already arrived so she hesitantly moved on.

In the end, everyone ends up alone
Losing her, the only one whos ever known,

The next sequence made Emery scream and whip her head away as her heart couldn't take what she was seeing. "Make it stop please!" She begged as she knew the scene was depicting Kendrick's knife ending Kia's life. She couldn't bare it the first time and now she couldn't bare it this time. The second the next bubble appeared she dove for it and launched them into the next moment. This time was different though, it wasn't her memories it was the present. She was in her house watching her family sob and she watched her brother run to the kitchen. She screamed as he grabbed a kitchen knife and prepared to stab himself. "No! Sebastian don't!" She sobbed as her parent's grabbed Sebastian and held him down as he screamed and wailed. Emery fell to her knees as she sobbed and softly whispered, "I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry. Please forgive me." The next bubble popped automatically as Emery did not seem to pop it in time as she stared blankly at the changing landscape. With a gasp she relieved she was back in the arena, her eyes scanned around as they found her. Esme. She was crying as the anthem blared and Emery saw her own face in the sky and pain filled her chest. Using all her might she tried to reach Esme to console her but no matter how hard she tried she couldn't reach her. Then just as before the landscape switched as the final bubble popped.

Only now did the woman speak again as they stood in a beautiful light covered area. There was a gorgeous waterfall and all around them were small houses and beautiful forests. Rainbows danced across the skies and it appeared that the two of them were standing on golden lined clouds. "This is your new home. My name is Mary, I will be the one taking care of you and the rest of my children forevermore." Emery's head tilted at when she said other children until she saw them. All around her were young faces that she recognized, passed tributes. Specifics she couldn't tell from here except for one. He stood several feet away from her with his typical smile plastered on his face. Tears ran down her cheeks and she sprinted towards him, towards Kia. He had kept his promise and waited for her. Now here she could stay. Do whatever she wanted to do. She had finally found her new home, her own safe haven.

Who am I? Who I'm not. Who I want to be
Now way to know how long she will be next to me.

The Finale of Emery Willton of District 12
