Chapter Two
Hey, is anybody out there?
I'm reaching out
Hey, is anybody out there?
I'm coming down
Hey, is anybody out there?
I'm freaking out, I'm freaking out
Rue's Pov
What was she doing here? Alive and breathing? She should have been dead a long time ago, not in this room. Where was she, why is Katniss here? So many unanswered questions kept pouring into her mind. Rue looked at the tubes in her arm; a cry of fear escaped her lips. Her eyes scanned the room; there were no windows or doors in the room. The brightness of the lights kind of hurt her eyes and most of all she was lonely. But then one question kept plaguing her head, how in world could she survive a spear through my stomach? Her hands instantly flew to her stomach, she could see she was naked she sat up and looked up at her, a light pink scar on her stomach.
Rue shook her head of all the questions that kept entering her head, clutching her head when she felt her vision blur before she blacked out.
Hey, is anybody out there?
I'm reaching out
Hey, is anybody out there?
I'm coming down
Hey, is anybody out there?
I'm freaking out, I'm freaking out.
We're trapped inside this star
And we have gone too far
All we want is to escape, escape, escape
Hey, is there anybody out there?
So shout it out
Katniss Pov
"Do you think she is stable enough to get discharged?" a feminine voice asked
"Well from what the charts show, yes she is" a male voice confirmed
Katniss thanked the doctor and walked over to the bed where little Rue was. She looked almost at rest…. peaceful. Katniss grabbed the smaller girls hand and gave it a gentle squeeze, she always wished she could have another chance with Rue. Not waiting at the last moment to realize that she was endangered. She tucked back a strand of loose brown hair behind her ear, as she realized Rue open her big brown eyes. Katniss smiled with relief as she watched the twelve year old slowly sit up, a hard lump foamed in the back of her throat she thought about a certain blonde haired twelve year old.
Overwhelmed by relief and grief Katniss threw her arms around Rue. Even if Primrose wasn't here physical, she was spiritually. However Katniss was reminded by Prim just by Rue and that was okay with her. It helped her cope in a way, unexpected tears threatened to spill
"Please say something" Katniss begged
"Katniss" she said her voice hoarse and dry
Katniss nodded and stroked her cheek, she watched as Rue tucked her knees under chest.
"Please, are there any clothes? I feel vulnerable" Rue said
Katniss flushed and grabbed a simple cream dress and black maryjanes from the foot of the bed. She turned around as Rue dressed, Rue cleared her throat signaling she was done.
"Shall we go" Katniss said extending her arm
Grateful Rue accepted it
