Everything I worked for, my only fear has come true. After 5 years I finally decided to have children, 2 years to settle down with Peeta and one day for it all to be ruined. Throughout my life I have never experienced this kind of pain. What's worse than having your name pulled out of the reaping ball? Having your kids name pulled out, the one reason I didn't have kids. I can't breath, it's not real, it's not happening. I search for Peeta with my hands, he grabs my waist and pulls me close, and I bury my head in his chest and hold back the sobs. I can't cry it's what the Capitol would want to see. Tears are dangerous they your weakness. I look back toward the stage and I see my 14 year old girl, head held high, shining blonde hair and clear blue eyes. She reminds me so much of Prim, it hurts me and yet it makes me happy, it's like she never left. And now I have to watch her go to her death, just like I watched Prim die, At the Capitol's hands and me powerless to help. If she wins the Hunger Games, the dreams will never leave her, they will haunt her. I hear Effie on stage walking towards the boys reaping ball, she pulls out a slip of light blue paper and it's that paper that breaks me. I can't hold in my tears, they roll of my face freely now. "This years tributes, Rosa Mellark and Trent Hawthorne." Effie says, I hate her, I hate President Paylor, I hate the Capitol, I hate Gale for having a kid. I hate myself for having a kid. But still, my little Rosa takes away all the pain of the past and makes my future promising, and now the Capitol is taking that away too. Peeta pulls me in again, this time I allow the tears. Then I hear President Paylor's voice and I want to run home and get my bow and arrow but then I see that she is only on the screen. A simple recording. I raise my head out of Peeta warm embrace and see the new face to hate, she was one of us. I fought along side her once. She is going to give a speech. I'm eager to listen to hear her tell us that it's rigged; that they purposefully picked Rosas named to break me, to show the districts that even the Mockingjay can't always win. But she never says it. She says that this year the Capitols children will be also be participating. Great, more children to die, more chances of Rosa dying. I get lost in my thoughts put thinking about how happiness feels and I can't remember it, then I hear my name a Gales name, I look up and see Rosa smiling. And I see Trent, he's smiling too. I look at Peeta and he is far from a smile, he laughing crystal blue eyes have turned to ice and his beautiful face so pale and rigid. What did she say? Effie comes back to stage and say her stupid line, in her stupid Capitol voice. "That's all! Happy Hunger Games, may the odds be ever in your favor." Everyone begins to leave back to their whole families for a celebration of another year safe. But not my family and not Gale's family. Rosa and Trent leave with Effie and it's just me and Peeta and on the other side of the reaping field it's Gale and his wife from District 2, Loraine. He holds her like how Peeta is holding me. They look pathetic, weak and I realize that's how we look. I pull back suddenly I see confusion in his eyes but then his eyes shine and a sly grin comes onto his face. I know this look, it's all too familiar. He's about to have another attack. After 7 years the poison isn't out of his body. He's getting better, they come twice a month and he never attacks anymore, but here he is. I can see him trying to control it, I don't know if to go to help him or run for cover. But my question was quickly answered. He lunged for my throat I easily dodged him but he had was much stronger. With a quick movement he grabbed my wrist and swiftly put me into a headlock and slowly began to choke me. My eyes began to have tears and my breaths becoming slower. I hear yelling and I see black combat boots, but it fades to darkness and the ground rushes up to meet me.
