Through the eyes of a loved one

by An Ocean Under A Thousand Suns

We know what Katniss was thinking in the hunger games but what about Prim? The sister Katniss was willing to die for what was she thinking? well here is what I think the hunger games look like to Prim. read and review rated T because I'm Paranoid.

1. Chapter 1

"Nooooo!!" I scream. My mind is numb and all I can think about is Katniss and the fire quickly spreading towards her. She is asleep in a tree totally oblivious to the world around her. No please don't let her die, she cant, I should be the one in the games not her, ohhhh please not her! She blots up and the announcer is saying something my mind can't understand as the TV zooms out to show the other tributes. I can hear my mother crying as the TV quickly zooms back in on Katniss, who is the most danger. I don't want to watch this, watch Katniss die but I can't turn away. She's running now with fear and determination plain on her face. My breath catches as her jacket catches on fire, tears streaming in full down my face.

"What," I hear my mother scream, but it is far off, almost as if I am not here, as Katniss goes back for her jacket. She is coughing now and I can tell she's in pain, it hurts to watch, but I can't look away. She begins to vomit, she is lying on the ground and I know she is dying. I begin to feel anger towards my mother for just sitting there and letting me watch this, letting me watch my sister die, but I realize she is just as paralyzed as me and that she has no choice, that I have to. The announcers are laughing as Katniss gets up and runs for her life, zigzagging away from the fireballs coming at her from all ways. I can't take it, I cant breath, I can't move. I don't know how long I watch her run, zigzagging through the burning forest, but the attack soon stopped as she desperately tries to breathe again. She was alive, alive!!!!! It felt I could breathe for the first time and tears of joy were cascading down my checks. She was alive!!

But my joy was cut short and it was suddenly my turn to scream, as my unexpected sister, looking at a piece of burned off, crisp and dying hair, was about to be burn to death. I saw the look of pure panic set in my sisters face as she heard the noise that would soon lead to her death. She try's to move out of the way but she's not fast enough and the flames soon claim her right calf. I hear her scream in agony and the sound pulls at my already broken heart. She doesn't deserve this! She's still screaming as she puts out the fire on her leg. Her screams soon stop even through you see the agony plain on her face. She lays on the ground for awhile before picking herself up and moving on. The pain on her face is obvious as the announcers leave Katniss and move on to the other tributes. She was alive but for how long and at what cost?
