I DO NOT OWN TH HUNGER GAMES OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS IN IT
Rues Lullaby
He spotted me. I tried to run away as fast as possible as I called out to Katniss, but it was no use; he was to quick and I had a spear in my stomach in no time. Then Katniss finally came. She shot the boy before he could even pull the spear out of my stomach and ran to me. She kept on asking if there were anymore people I just said no every time. A feeling of dread passes over me as I realize what was going to happen next. Katniss begins to realize it too as she sits next to me, the sorrow in her eyes.
"Sing to me" I say, she looks surprised at my request, "please Katniss." I say again and she begins to sing.
Deep in the Meadow
Under the Willow
A Bed of Grass
A Soft Green Pillow Lay Down Your Head and Close Your Eyes
When They Open The Sun Will Rise
She reminds me of my mother. When times were tough in district 11 she would lull me to sleep with my sisters next to me. Her melodic voice touching every wall of our small room. She would make us feel all warm inside as if we were always safe. Always protected in her warm arms. Away from all of these reached games, yet here we are.
Here It's Safe
Here It's Warm
Here the Daisies Guard You From Every Harm
I feel my breath become harder and weaker and my eyes feel like just closing for eternity, but I don't dare close them. I focus on Katniss' voice and focus all of my energy on that.
Here Your Dreams Are Sweet
And Tomorrow Brings Them True
Here is the Place Were I Love You
I think about my sisters and how we would spend time in the fields. How we would joke around as if life wasn't cruel.
I feel Katniss try to hold in her tears as she starts to quiver next to me. She is trying to stay strong I guess, but it doesn't matter I can hear the tears wanting to come out.
My eyes want to close my entire body just feeling aches and pains, just wanting to give up, give in and to just leave let all of the pain go away. Yet I don't want to leave until I hear her finish her song and as if she read my mind she began to sing faster.
Deep in the Meadow
Hidden Far Away
A Bed of Grass
A Moon Beam Ray
I now feel my heart slowing as I try to be strong for her not suppressing a tear as her voice chimes in my ear like my mothers in district 11. Then I remember how I would never see my mother again , how I would never be in her arms again. How I would never be safe in my fathers warm embrace. How I would never stay up late at night again, telling stories to my sisters as we pretend to be asleep. How we would be as quiet as possible trying not to get caught. How I will never be safe at home again. Never.
She notices how hard it is getting for me to breath and yet again picks up the pace so I can hear the end of the song.
Here It's Safe
Here It's Warm
Here the Daises Guard You From Every Harm
Here Your Dreams Are Sweet
And Tomorrow Brings Them True
Here is the Place Where I Love You
She sings these lines as tears begin to stream down her face. My breathing is almost impossible to cope with and one last memory comes into my mind. The work day is over and I hum my little work tune. All they mockingjays repeat it in a symphony of song My family comes out and we begin to dance in the field humming along. I hear Katniss crock out the last phrase of the song.
Here is the Place Where I Love You
The last thing I think about is how much I hate the Capitol and how much I want Katniss to win. Let her survive is my last wish as I take in my final breath and close my eyes forever.
