Hunger Love

By: Cookie :)

It's been 2 years since my Hunger Games. I remember everything from The Reaping to the time we came home after we won. I know you might be thinking 'We?' Yes, we. Ever since Katniss and Peeta were in their Games and after the Rebellion, the Gamemakers made it a rule that if 2 tributes from the same district kill their last competitor, they win together. Katniss and Peeta are my mentors. I've even met their kids! But my Games were...different. Let me tell you about my Hunger Love.

Chapter 1: Names & Goodbyes

It all started at The Reaping.

"Terra Kincardine." Macklie said. I slowly made my way to the stage, where I met Macklie, District 4's escort. I saw my cousin, Katri, think about volunteering for me, but she just nodded at me. Then the boys were called.

"Brendan LaBlenc." Oh my God. Brendan is my ex-boyfriend and now I have to try and win with him? Uh, no way on Earth. I'd rather die than win with him.

We were then taken back to 2 separate rooms to say goodbye to our families. The first person was my mom. I gave her a hug and when we separated, we both had tears streaming down our faces. We don't say a word until our second, and what i thought would be our last, hug.

"I love you, momma." I manage to choke out.

"I love you too, Terra. Please try and win so I don't have to tell your dad and brother what happened." She pleads.

"I will try my hardest. I promise. I love you so much. Tell Aaron I love him." I beg her, sobbing.

"I will. I love you. I hope I will see you soon."

"Ditto." This makes us both smile. We share one last hug and a kiss when suddenly, she was ripped from my arms. I immediately start sobbing, feeling like a wuss, crying for my mom to come back. Then the door opens again and it's Katri. We embrace so tightly that we both can't breathe.

"I was going to volunteer for you but I know that you are strong and can do this yourself."

"Thank you. I love you and make sure my mom is eating and not just wallowing in her bed."

"I will. I love you, too, Terra." Katri and I are more like sisters than cousins. We share one last hug and she is taken from the room. I'm all alone in silence, except for the sound of my own sobbing. The door opens again and I'm shocked at who I see.

"Hey, Terra. I got off from work because of The Reaping. I saw your name get drawn and I ran over here so I could say goodbye and that I love you." It's my 19 year old brother, Aaron. I was surprised because, usually, the Fish Distribution Center never lets their workers off for The Reaping or The Games. He lets me cry into his shoulder and we hug for

a long time. I try to whisper something in his ear.

"What did you say, Terra?"

"I love you. Don't ever leave me, please." I plead.

"I love you, too. I won't. I have something for you." He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a gold heart on a necklace. I'm just about to ask him what it is, when he opens it.

"It's a locket." I gasp.

"It has pictures of me, mom and dad in it." He explains.

"Thank you. I love you."

"I love you too." We hug again and he is taken out of the room.
