Theme 1: Love
"And you…in thirteen…Dead by morning." These were the words to cause District 13 to break into a controlled panic. The people of District 13 began to file out of their quarters and the places where their schedules had sent them. The sirens and alarms were deafening.
In the hospital, the patients were prepared to be relocated. This wasn't a drill. There was a threat coming to the District and there was no time to wait. The ducktail of the blonde girl whipped back and forth as she frantically tried to get everything in order to move. Her face was calm and she was motivated to hurry and help. The rush started and the patients were being wheeled out by the doctors, nurses, soldiers, and any patient that could help.
The elevator descended but without the little ducktail. While everyone was descending into the depths of the District, the ducktail ascended to the higher levels. She only had one thing she had to get. She ran down the hall, trying to reach her corridor before it was too late. The seconds were ticking away. She reached the floor finally that she was striving to get to and was met by a stray soldier.
"This is a bad idea, Prim."
"I have to get him, Gale! I can't just leave him behind!" Primrose Everdeen pushed Gale aside and ran down the hall. Gale wasn't going to let her go alone so he followed. The last thing anyone needed was for Prim to get hurt. Katniss wouldn't be able to handle that. Prim ran to compartment E. She didn't even have to open the door. The hysteric cries and waling of drowned out the sirens. She threw the door open and collapsed on the floor.
Buttercup ran to her. He was there and waiting for her, trying to protect her. He glared at Gale as Gale entered the room and collected the box of medical supplies after throwing the old hunting bag onto his shoulder. "Come on, Prim. We don't have time."
Prim wiped away the stray tear of relief that Buttercup was there and scooped him up. She followed Gale out of the room and they hastily made way towards the elevator. They followed the elevator as far down as they could.
"Prim! Prim!" The echoes rang out in the stairs. Prim and Gale hurried even faster down the stairs that they were now forced to use.
"We're coming!" Prim cried, tugging even harder onto Buttercup as she bounced from step to step.
"They're coming!" A frantic Katniss yelled at the guards. The doors were closing and the great walls were become tighter and tighter. Prim's face appeared between the cracks, flushed and out of breath. The doors opened and Prim and Gale squeezed through. "What were you thinking?"
Prim lifted Buttercup up to her chin. "I couldn't leave him. Not twice!"
Katniss exhaled roughly and hugged her sister. The things Prim would do for that stupid cat. "I should have drowned you when I had the chance," she hissed. Buttercup raised his paw over his face.
"Don't tease him."
