This was a short One shot for the Starvation forum challenge, but I missed the time limit :(
I wanted to post it anyway, so here it is~!
She looked up at the pink and orange sunset, clutching her sister's teddy bear that was wearing one old sock, tightly in her arms. The boats in the distance rocked on the gentle waves and the puffy clouds drifted in the sky. If only she was here to see this...
Lost in thought, she almost didn't notice the figure approaching behind. "Leah," his sister didn't move or reply, instead just closed her eyes and exhaled, "Leah, you have to let her go." No matter how much she wanted to forget, she knew it was impossible. Without moving she just whispered almost to quiet to hear, "I can't"
Cody knew it was true. Even after 5 years, Leah would never forget that particular Hunger Games. That year, their sister was reaped. Their sister Katie was almost a normal girl. A tall brunette with dark freckles on her face. The only thing was that she was blind. "If it had been any year but that one," a single diamond tear fell from her face, "I could have taken her place."
He could remember the year just about as well as she did. Careers attacked her and her alliance in the dead of the night. The one with the axe saw the 12 year old blind Kalie and jumped at the chance. Cody closed his eyes remembering the terrible sight. The blood...
And now that horrid career was rolling in money as a Victor. Laughing every day without a care in the world. She was now hugging the bear, crying into it, "I just wish... I wish I could have revenge. I wish I could do to him what he did to her." Cody pulled Leah in and hugged her tightly, a sinister look of resentment flashed on his face, "Me too."
Anyway... I hope you enjoyed!(:
