Prologue
Is this real? Did President Coin really let me joint the rescue mission? Apparently it is true because I am standing in front of President Snows mansion, surrounded by children. I don't know why Im surrounded by children, but I know I have to help them. I have to live up to my big sister, make her proud of me.
As I am tending to the children, one of them points up towards the sky. Then everyone is pointing excitedly something. I look up and see a hovercraft, and I can just barely make out a capitol seal. Lots of silver parachutes rain down on us. Even in this chaos, they know what silver parachutes contain. Food. Medicine. Gifts. They eagerly scoop them up, tiny fingers opening up their gifts. The hovercraft vanishes, and before I even look down, I hear the screams. The silver parachutes have exploded.
I whip my head around and see the snow's red and littered with undersized body parts. Many of the children die immediately, but others lie in agony on the ground. Some just stand frozen staring at their parachute, as if they might still have a gift for them. I can tell the Peacekeepers didn't know this was coming by the way they are yanking away the barricades, making a path to the children. I see more of my fellow medics running around carrying medical kits. I realize that i'm still holding my own.
I run over to the nearest kid and wrap my jacket around her and take the parachute from her. As I am fumbling with my medical kit, I hear something. Someone is calling my name. It is faint at first, but when the voice comes closer, there is no doubt. Its Katniss. I whip my head around to find where its coming from. Then I catch a glimpse at her, try to say her name, to let her know I'm here.
But then the parachutes go off. And its too late.
I am on fire. The parachute that was next to me blew up. I am screaming for help, Katniss sees me and tries to make her way to me. Its no use. I collapse to the ground, unable to see, unable to breath. I am going to die. When I take my last breath Katniss finally finds me and grabs my hand. I give her hand a final squeeze. My last goodbye.
Am I dead? It is dark. I can see the moon. I am standing in shallow water. The ocean? I have never seen the ocean before in my life. Then I see her, Katniss glowing in a beautiful dress with her hair down.
"Katniss?'' I say, "What are you doing here"
"Prim don't leave me" She says in a sad voice. "Come here"
I try to walk over to her but the current from the ocean is getting stronger, Pulling me with it. I try to run to Katniss, but I can't. I am being pulled under, drowning me. Katniss comes to help me but she is not strong enough.
"Stop, Katniss" I say in a strong voice. "Its okay Katniss"
"No," She says and starts crying " You cant leave me, I don't know what to do without you"
"You will always have me" I put her hand over her heart. " In here"
I break free from her grasp and dive under water, without a second look back. As I am swimming farther away, I slowly close my eyes.
My eyes snap open. Where am I? I see many of my friends from school I know from the seam, but there staring at me, with such a sad impression. Am I in heaven? I know they died in the bombing of district 12. Are they going to welcome me? But they say nothing. Then I hear a voice I thought I would never have to hear again.
"Primrose Everdeen?" Effie Trinkets voice says, "Are you there?"
What will happen next? Review for update! Thanks:)
