A/N: Hey my fellow fans! I'm back! I know it's been forever since I posted and I'll tell you why. I was turning on my laptop to go on my Fan Fiction and it didn't work. So, I took it to Best Buy and it was broken. I tried to go on my Fan Fiction after I got my new laptop and it wouldn't let me. I really wanted it to work, but I didn't want to push it. I tried again today and it worked! I'm so happy! Here is a new story for you guys! Enjoy!
Chapter One
"Prim Rose Everdeen!" Effie proudly announced my name after she picked it from the Reaping Ball. I heard my breath catch and I began to walk forward to the stage. I heard Katniss saying my name behind me then I heard two words that will forever change my life. "I volunteer," she screamed. "I volunteer as tribute." I turned around and say Katniss, my brave, older sister, standing in the path that leads to the stage. I registered those words in my brain and broke down. Gale came and snatched me from the path. "No, Katniss, no," I yelled at her. She walked past me, being escorted by Peace Keepers to the stage. "Well, well. Our first District 12 volunteer. What's your name?" Effie said. I watched the stage like an important message from the Capitol. "Katniss Everdeen." I'm guessing that's your sister," Effie said. Katniss nodded. Tears still ran down my cheeks. "Oh, Katniss. What have you got yourself into," I whispered to myself. The boy tribute, Peeta Mellark, was called to the stage. I know he has brothers, but none of them volunteered for him. After the tributes left the stage, my mother and I were taking inside the Square to go see Katniss. My mother had silent tears running down her cheeks. I don't know how she was so quiet. Her youngest daughter was basically picked to die today, and her eldest took her place. We sat there for ten or so minutes, watching people going in and out, sobbing their eyes out. "You can go in now," a Peace Keeper told us. I stood up and followed my mother into the room that was holding my dear sister. Katniss reached for me and I crawled into her lap and wrapped my arms around her neck. I wanted to stay in that moment forever. Her holding me. Me letting her. It was so comforting. She went on and on about things we needed to remember, but I didn't listen. I just looked at her. Panic and fear were in her eyes and I don't know if it was because of the Games or because she was leaving me alone with our mother. Katniss turned to my mother. "Listen to me. Are you listening?" My mother nodded, tears finally streaming down her face quietly. "You can't and won't leave again," Katniss told her. My mother's gaze reached the floor. "I know," she told her, "I couldn't help-," "Well, you have to help it this time," Katniss interjected. "You can't leave Prim alone. There's no me to help you both along now. I doesn't matter what happens to me in the Games. Whatever you see on the screen, you fight through your emotions. Promise me." Katniss sounded angry with her. My mother ripped her arm out of Katniss's grip. "I… was ill. I could have treated myself then if I had the medicine I do now." My mother looked angry and so did Katniss. I didn't want them to leave it this way if she never came back. "I'll be fine, Katniss," I said, placing my face in her hands. "But you have to take care of yourself too. Maybe you can win," I told her. "Maybe. Will be as rich as Haymitch if I do," she told me. "I don't care about being rich. I just want you to come home. You'll try, right? You better really, really try," I said, tears now streaming down my face. She wiped away my tears. "I'll really, really try, little duck," she said. I cracked a smile and Peace Keepers came to the door. We all started hugging, when we saw him. "I love you. I love you both!" Katniss shouted when were walking out the door. I turned around and the door closed.
