Chapter eight: mech-skipper's POV
As I walked out of juliens room, I proceeded to willow an emmie's. I know willow is missing, but I didn't expect emmie to have dissapeared. Especially since skipper gave direct orders to stay in your room. In fact, nothing was in this room, but the suitcases on the bed. I don't know what, but something made me walk over to the window. I searched the tree trunk in front of the view, then found what I think I was looking for. A small slit where, obviously, a knife had been used. I was instantly filled with a soft tune, "are you, are you, comin to the tree, where they strung up a man they say murdered three." instantly I recognized a song from Suzanne Collins' 'mockingjay.' it played on, "strange things did happen here, no stranger would it seem. If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree." I knew this house was a total fake. What "haunted house" has a tune from a book? But then again, I read something online that said Suzanne Collins got the song from somewhere that had a legend: you only heard that song when you were near somewhere that someone was hanged... And you were the next victim.
I didn't let some "legend" scare me. I blinked back to reality with skipper right behind me. He was yelling, "why are you in here, soldier? I told you to cover the west wing! We had to send ont a search party when thou didn't respond!" hard to think I'm a bio mechanical robot android of him. Do I yell that much? Skipper only facepalmed when he saw I wasn't listening. I nodded, then headed out the door. Down the hall I s aw rune playing with Sophie. I nodded once more, then head down I my room, sing the tune myself, "are you, are you, comin to the tree, where the dead man called for his love to flee, strange things did happen here, no stranger would it seem. Is we met uP at midnight in the hanging tree."
