*DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE HUNGER GAMES OR ITS CHARACTERS OR SYMBOLS
*starts when Katniss sees Prim in the capitol
Katniss POV
I run towards her, this is too dangerous for her, little Prim is only fourteen years old, she even still has her duck tail. How could they send her to the war front? No doubt coin sent her, trying to break me-she's never liked me- but this? This is no better than the games. I hear explosions in the distance and children screaming, but I keep moving, I have to protect Prim like those years ago. As I reach her I'm relieved, until we are both tackled down by a crazed capitol citizen, I can tell by the fur they are wearing. This is it; Prim and I will be beaten to death, or blown up by explosives. Then it hits; Prim, the capitol citizen and I are thrown back by fire and that is the last I remember.
*One month later
I awaken in district 12's meadow, completely rested and at ease. Prim has flowers in her hair, dancing around and giggling, I see why so many people loved her. She makes me smile and I begin to dance with her. When was the last time this has happened? The last time I was happy? I see Peeta in the distance, he is holding a painting, I can't tell what it is, but for a moment I believe he is not the capital crazed mutt; that this war never happened. That I might actually could love him. But the man next to him confuses me. Why would they be together? They hate each other, Peeta and Gale. They come and sit next to me as I try to remember my last hours, but can't figure out why they are both here, but I do remember loving them both. I remember the explosions. The explosions, did I survive? Or is this heaven? I hope it is, because we would have a happy ever after after-all.
Maybe not. The sun becomes to white and unrealistic, Peeta and Gale seem to disappear and Prim is walking towards the light. No. This can't be happening, I was happy here with her. "PRIM, NO PRIM! COME BACK!" My efforts are useless and my world is filled with bright white lights. My eyes take time to adjust but the doctor in front of me holds a syringe, but I still ask the inevitable question, "Where am I? Where is Prim?" before I pass out from the morphling. I don't get any answers, I'm sure snow will be waiting for me the next time I wake up.
PRIM'S POV
I'm awake but I can't move, but I also can't stand being in my hospital room anymore. I need to know what happened to Katniss, to my family. I find myself using Katniss's remembering trick.
My name is Primrose Everdeen. I lived in district twelve. I was reaped for the 74th hunger games. My sister, Katniss, volunteered and won with Peeta. She was sent back in for the quarter quell. District 12 was bombed when Katniss blew up the force field in the games. Gale saved me. We relocated to the underground district 13. Katniss was also saved from the games. She has protected me too much, I owe her. I am becoming a doctor. The war is not over. I was sent to the front lines to help with medical needs. A bomb landed near me, and Katniss came to protect me. Peeta tackled us in his ridiculous capitol outfit and saved both our lives. We were blown across the city square.
That is all I can remember. The doctor tells me she is alive but after all that has happened, she is known as a survivor. I also wonder if she knows the good news, the rebels have won the war. There will be no more hunger games and Coin will be president. Well okay, its partly good news, Coin isn't favored by many; she is just as controlling as Snow was.
My doctor comes in and un-straps me, I sit up for the first time since the bombing, which was weeks ago. I am horrified. My skin is burned and I have new patches of skin all over my body. Even my mother couldn't fix this. I wonder what Rory will think, I know gale forced him to stay in district twelve but Rory was upset when Coin ordered me to the front line, but I had to help the people, it's what I am born to do. I regret agreeing to go, I endangered now only mine but also Katniss's life.
If I haven't done that enough in my life…
My doctor says Katniss is asking to see me, but he won't allow it until they take a brain scan to make sure were stable.. Apparently we've both been experiencing post-traumatic stress, but who would blame us? We've been through a war, we've changed so much.
Days past before I'm allowed to leave and I find my mind wandering. I hope Katniss is okay. Where is Rory right now? I bet my mother is working in the hospital here. What about Gale? And Peeta? When Katniss left for her first games, Gale confessed to me he loved her. I always knew he did, the way he smiles when he sees her. They spent countless hours together hunting but I knew Katniss would never allow love. She was too busy taking care of me and my mother, she never wanted kids because of the games, and how could love even fit in?
I also had a hint that Peeta liked her too. I've seen him around school; he would steal glances at her when she wasn't looking. His face would light up and his smile was amazing. I also know about the bread that saved our lives, how could he be so unselfish if he didn't have feelings for her?
Two of the district's most handsome boys fell for Katniss and she wasn't prepared for it, I don't think she ever will be. But I do know is that they won't stop trying.
