I'm sorry to my lovely readers who have been expecting this for a long time. I sort of forgot _! But I finally got it out! Yay! I was having a hard time with changing the story because I absolutely love Hunger Games and love how it ends, but I did it! I apologize in advance if the story line isn't parallel to the book, I kind of lost the books while moving so I had to look up a lot online. Anyway! Read and enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Hunger Games, obviously :)
We had gone on a mission to President Snow's mansion. All had gone wrong. We were being chased by lizard mutts from the capitol and were currently scrambling for our lives. I hurriedly climb up the ladder, right below Finnick, who's feet had disappeared out of the exit. Peeta had just reached the rungs and I call back "Hurry Peeta!" All I get as a response was a scream. I whip around to see one of the lizard mutts drag him back. "Peeta!" My screeching voice echoes on the walls around us and I begin to descend the ladder.
A strong hand grabs my arm and I'm pulled up "What the hell are you doing?" Finnick yells. I try to shake his hand off and scream "Peeta! Peeta! He's down there! Finnick let me go!" I try to jump from the ladder, but Finnick pulls me right back "Katniss, we have to go." My eyes dart to his in shock. How could he say something like that? How could he expect me to just leave Peeta like that? I notice the hopeless look in his eyes as Peeta's screams travel up. I look down and scream "Peeta!" Again, I try to jump from the ladder, but Finnick pulls me up "Katniss! Get ahold of yourself! You can't get him!"
Peeta's yells silence and we both look down the hole. A scream rips from my throat as I try to jump down the hole. "Peeta! Peeta! No! Peeta!" Tears stream down my face as I stare at his bloody, battered body. The lizard mutts tear at his pale flesh as I continue to scream. Finnick shakes me "Katniss! You can't do anything now, we have to go!" I shake my head and blabber "No, no, no no no no." He grits his teeth and pulls something out whispering "nightlock" three times before dropping the Holo into the ripping mutts.
Finnick then picks me up out of the opening and runs. The explosion bursts through the hole and I sob into Finnick's shoulder. How could this have happened? I should have saved him! No, I should have never let him come. Thoughts run through my mind numbly the whole way back. When we land, I continue to sit in my seat, staring at the ground. Gale shakes me and says something that I don't hear, nor want to hear. I didn't want to listen to him, I didn't want to listen to anybody. He shakes me again and shouts "Katniss!" I pull out of my numb mind slightly and look up at him in silence. He purses his lips "There's been an attack on thirteen." I feel all the blood drain from my face "Mom, Prim." He helps me up "I haven't heard anything about them. We had to go to a different location." I nod as even more numbing thoughts race through my mind.
Six long, agonizing hours later, we get the clear to come back. I gasp at the damage and as soon as the doors open I hastily make my way into thirteen. Running down the now broken stairs that were cluttered with debris, I yell for my sister and mother. When I make my way down to the main level, I see the crowd of battered people. I make my way through the crowd, yelling for my mother and sister. Finnick steps next to me, his face ghastly white "Have you seen Annie?" I shake my head and we proceed through the people, yelling for our loved ones.
Hopeful thoughts cross my numb mind as I scan the people around me. Most people weren't that hurt. Maybe they're safe. Haymitch comes into view at the edge of the crowd and I run over to him "Haymitch! Haymitch!" He looks up attentively and immediately sees me. A look of relief crosses his face for a second, but quickly switches to one of sympathy. I run over to him quicker "My family. Where are they?" Finnick steps up next to me "Annie?" Haymitch looks between us, then motions to a door. I stomp my foot like a three year old and yell "Just tell us goddamnit!" Haymitch sighs "Just go into the room, please." I grit my teeth, but Finnick pulls me into the room before I could yell any more.
When we all get into the room, I turn to Haymitch "Tell us now." He frowns and sighs, running his hand through his hair "Katniss, Prim and your mother . . . they were on the top level when the first air strike came." He looks into my eyes "They didn't make it."I let out a weak cry as a strong numbing feeling crashed into my body. Everything starts to go black, and right before I lose consciousness, I hear Haymitch say "Annie was with them."
It was kind of short, forgive me. I hope you enjoyed though! I feel so bad for killing Annie and Katniss's family :( But it had to be done! Anyway, review, follow, favorite! Love you my lovelies!
