A/N Hey guys so this is my newest idea I'm going to try out, this first chapter starts with some flashbacks that will explain the situation they're in, and I hope you'll like it! Oh and throughout the story, when they speak their names aloud, they are changed. Prim is Katie, and Katniss is Becca, the chapter is in Katniss's POV and in her thoughts she does calls Prim, Prim. Sorry, I know that it's kind of confusing. Now here's chapter one of Orphans.
Katniss POV
Flashback
"Katie come on we have to leave now," I scream to my little sister.
"I'll be there in a sec, I just have to get Buttercup," she replies frantically.
"Well hurry up they're coming." Prim runs down the stairs with an ugly cat in her arms. I grab her arm and we run out the back door as fast as we can. I hear the sirens blaring, so I pull on Prim and tell her to move faster.
"We have to outrun then Katie," I tell her scared we might not make it out that time. Suddenly, Buttercup jumps out of Prim's arms and runs in the opposite direction. Prim try's to escape my grip but we need to keep running.
"I'm not going without Buttercup," she screams at the top of her lungs.
"Keep your voice down," I whisper. "We need to keep moving or they will catch up." She won't budge so I grab her, and start to run once more.
"Let go of me!" She says it over and over, but I don't listen. My top priority is getting as far away from this town as I can get. A sharp pain hits my thigh and enables me to go any farther. I look down and see blood gushing through the whole caused by a silver bullet that is wedged in my leg. I put down Prim and tell her to keep going, but she hesitates, and the shooter catches up with us. No, I think when I see the man is a peacekeeper. He handcuffs us and drags us back to town.
Different flashback
Down at the justice building Prim and I are placed into a room for questioning. I had been through this once before and got away, but Prim wasn't with me, she had gotten away. I tell her to let me do the talking and to stay calm. She nods but I know she's scared, I just hope that the interrogator won't notice. A woman walks through the door, and I take a deep breath, and pray for good luck. After she introduces herself, she starts to grill us with questions.
"Why were you two running this evening, did you get in an argument with your parents?" I nod my head, saying to myself, she can think what ever she wants to think as long as it's not the truth. "What was that argument about?" Prim looks at me, and though her face is unreadable I know she's freaking out, so I answer quickly to reassure her I know what I'm doing.
"Well I just got a new boy friend, and like all of my other ones they didn't approve, because they want me to marry a rich boy, so instead of fighting, I left. On my way out I saw my sister sitting on the steps waiting for me, and I couldn't let her suffer through their controlling ways, so I let her come with me."
"Where were you two heading," she asks, and I know she's trying to crack us. I try to answer, but she shushes me, "Let Katie tell me where you were going." I watch as her expressions flash from scared to nervous to calm.
"Well we have relatives in district 11, so we figured we would cross the border, and could stay there until we found our own place." The woman looks at me so I nod verifying the story.
"Why do I have a feeling you're lying to me?" She asks. I look at her like I don't know what she's talking about. Prim and I exchange looks, before the woman leaves the room and brings in two large men. "Escort them to the station, the next train leaves in fifteen minutes; make sure they get on it."
Present Time.
"Where are you taking us," I scream at the man carrying me.
"To the station, then you'll be sent to the capitol." I freeze; I had been doing everything in my power to save us from the capitol orphanage. When our parents were killed by the capitol, I took Prim and escaped before we too were killed. See our parents were part of a secret group that was trying to overthrow the capitol, and they got caught, so they were shot, afterwards it was debated whether or not we should be able to live. In the end, they thought we could be a threat in our later years, so we Prim and I were sentenced to die. When I heard of their plans, I changed our names and fled to district two. After that we ran around the districts, hoping we wouldn't get caught. We were pretty young at the time, so I don't think they'll remember us apperence wise, but I'm really scared they will find out who we are. Prim looks at me trying to see if I have a plan, but I shake my head, it's over, there's no chance of us escaping. Now all we can do is hope for the best, and not get caught. I see the silver train in the distance becoming closer and closer, until the men shove us on, and I am forced to say good bye to district 12, but this time it's for forever.
