I am lead into a small room covered in red velvet. I would be telling my good byes to my friends and family here. I stand, I don't wish to sit on anything made by the capitol. My first visitor is my mother, she's alone, I thought she would be with Katniss. "Where's Katniss?" I ask a bit panicked.
"She's saying good bye to Gale. Primrose why wouldn't you let Katniss volunteer for you?" The weight of this question is almost too much for me but I remain calm.
"I didn't want her to throw her life away. Gale will come back. They can get married. If she went with him neither of them would return, not all the way. I want her to be happy."
"Baby, don't give up on yourself you know all about the woods, you just. . ."
"Lack confidence, strength, size, bravery and intimidation?"
"Now Primrose Everdeen, that is not true."
"Most of it is. I didn't exactly think I would be leaving today so I don't know what to say right now besides I Love You"
"Oh, Honey what is there to say at a time like this?" Tears are flooding her whole face now. I'm in serious danger of tears. The guard comes.
"Ms. Everdeen it's time to go." There is pain in his eyes. My mother latches onto my hand. 2 guards have to drag her from the room.
"I love you!" she screams.
"I love you too!" I yell although I don't know how much she heard.
When Katniss walks in, I can't handle it anymore, my eyes are gushing tears. "I couldn't let you go, Katniss, I just couldn't let you throw your life away."
"Prim, I'm not blaming you for not wanting me to go, why do you think I volunteered?" I realize what Katniss means about the sister love thing.
"I love you, I love you, so much, please be happy without me, live your life. Don't be like" I stop abruptly, realizing what I was saying.
"Mom? Yeah, I'll try my best Prim. I've got to feed 6 people now." She was right of course; Gale's family of 4, my mother, and herself.
"How will you do that? Winter's right around the corner."
"I think it's time to teach Gale's brothers to hunt." I giggled, but only because this frightened me more than anything. Did she even think Gale would return?
"I'm going to miss you."
"I'm going to miss you more."
"Yeah you are, you can't miss someone in heaven, you know." I saw the pain in her eyes.
"Don't Prim. Please don't give up. Don't let the capitol win." This sparked something inside me. There isn't a victor in the games, the only winner is the capitol. That's just the way it is, I want a sound, gore less death.
"Don't worry, I won't let them have me, I won't be pray, believe me." The guard comes. "I love you Katnss."
"Goodbye Prim. I love you more than my own life." With that the only person I have ever felt was mine was gone. I felt dead already, felt like I would rather die in that room than live through what was coming.
I have a few more visitors; the baker brings me some warm bread and wishes me luck. Madge, the mayor's daughter, brings me a pin with a golden bird on it. I promise to wear it into the arena. She tells me she'll keep Katniss in the world for me, I thank her.
My hour is up the car arrives to take me to the train station.
