A Love Lost
I stare down at my feet, not wanting to look around at the home that used to be mine. I watches as some ashes blew onto my shoes, then quickly blew away. Just a month ago, The Capitol bombed District 12, the place I call my home. Just about everything was destroyed, except for the Victor's Village. I'm not sure why though. The authorities in District 13 didn't want me to come here. But I insisted. My stomach started to get bigger. I was gaining weight, even though I never ate hardly anything anymore. I refused. Because, someone I grew to love, Peeta, was gone.
I can't begin to imagine what they are doing to him in the Capitol. Torturing him, maybe he's already dead. But I need him to come back. He still doesn't know I'm pregnant…I found out the first week in 13. I didn't even know when Peeta said I was pregnant in the interviews for the Quell, that he was telling the truth. Then I hear Gale's voice on my headset they insisted I wore.
"Do I need to come down?" He asks. He's up in the hovercraft, watching me, and making sure I stay safe. I was crouched down, with my head in my hands. I probably looked like I would have a meltdown. But I wasn't going to, so I simply told him "No, I'm fine." I leave my torn down, and covered in ashes home, and head towards the town. I walk by all of the town buildings, the Florist, the Grocer, and of course, the Bakery. Peeta and his family lived here, Peeta lives in his house in the Victor's Village now. And all of his family didn't make it out in time, so they are all dead, and he probably thinks it's my fault.
Gale saved many people of District 12's lives, including my family, and his. But Peeta's didn't make it. The survivors ran into the woods, and a hovercraft brought them all back to 13. Peeta would have nothing to come home to, except for me…
It was too much. Everything here was. I darted towards the Victor's Village and slipped inside my house. "What am I going to do?" I whispered to the walls. I really didn't know. I hear many people talking to me on the headset now, Plutarch, His assistant, different leaders, and military officials, but not President Coin, The President of 13. She is very uniform, and wants me to be the symbol of the rebellion. The Mockingjay. Then I look around my house, being quiet, just because it doesn't seem right to sound loud. Yesterday, as I was leaving a room, I heard coin mutter something. "I told you we should've rescued the boy first." Meaning Peeta, but they managed to rescue me, Finnick Odair, and Beetee. I pick up a few things on my way out of the house. A photo from my parent's wedding: A blue hair ribbon for Prim: And my family edible plants book. I accidently drop the book, but quickly shut it before the tears come. It opened to a page with yellow flowers on it. Peeta painted those flowers. I couldn't dare look at them without crying in a corner somewhere. I close the book and pick it back up.
I turn to leave and see the world's ugliest cat in the kitchen doorway. I squat down next to Buttercup, and scoop him up In my arms. I run up the stairs to my room and find a white rose in a vase of flowers on my dresser. Snow sent it to me. I run back downstairs, grab my game bag, and then swing out the door. The hovercraft drops a ladder down, and I grab a hold onto it. Gale helps me when I reach the hovercraft. He asks me if I'm okay, and I tell him I'm fine. We arrive back in 13 in about forty-five minutes. I live in Compartment 307 with my Mom and Prim. During the day I usually ignore the schedule I have tattooed on my arm. Every morning you get your schedule scanned on your arm for the day. But I pretty much ignore it. I walk to my door with the numbers 307 printed on them, and wonder what to say to my mother and sister.
They are in the Compartment for Reflection, which is a half hour before dinner, practically free time. I put my game bag on the table when I walk in and open it. Buttercup jumps out and Prim lays on the floor and plays around with him. He started hating me a little less. Then Gale comes in and tells me to head to Command with him. I obey, and we walk to the Command room. When I arrive Everyone is watching a television screen. Just Propaganda, then a message from Snow, And then Caesar Flickerman appears, about to host an interview. My mouth lets out a sound between a groan and a gasp when I see his guest is Peeta.
A/N: So this is my new story! I used a lot of this stuff from Mockingjay, and I will mostly use my own material, but I started it off with the beginning of Mockingjay…Kinda.
So, Review! I will update weekly. Maybe earlier if you guys ask(:
Bye!
