The Anubis Games
Chapter 2: Letting Go and Saying Hello
I felt queasy, and I wanted to go somewhere cry but I knew this wasn't possible at the time. Peacekeepers came to get us, so we can say our goodbyes. It was weird peacekeepers were circling me, so I felt really claustrophobic but I walked swiftly and composed myself. I was at the Justice Building, I got led into a room that was absolutely magnificent, it had royal blue walls, thick pearly grey carpets that had a gloss to them and a velvet green carpet. How the other half live eh? This room was absolutely beautiful.
" Here is a visitor," A peace keeper came in and Greasy Sae came in behind him.
" What am I going to do? Nico's soup partner is gone and this means my special has gone down the pan," Greasy Sae moaned and groaned. Trust Greasy just to think about the cafe xD…
" Thanks Greasy, I am probably going to die and all you think about is the kitchen!' I laughed at this whole awkward situation.
" Yeah I am sorry, you also took my desert chef," she said " Come here Nina, you have a real shot of winning, in my opinion look at your knife skills you can chop a onion and 10 seconds and you don't cry you have guts and you know how it feels to go hungary and you looked out for old Gran, just be yourself," Greasy gave me a encouraging smile.
Greasy gave me a lot to think about she was right, I did have some sort of skill. I might not be a hunter like Katniss Everdeen was but I remember the boy with bread Peeta Mellark he just used what he had, his icing skills so he could camouflage himself and he survived because Katniss knew it. I just need to find a good ally another Nico.. Don't mention his name.. I felt really upset now but I will see him soon.
" Nina another visitor," Peacekeeper came through the door, where Lily and Rose were standing.
" Hey who's my favourite ten year olds, come here" They ran to me and swamped me with a hug, they started bubbling.
" Nina we don't want you to go, we want you to stay," Lily started sobbing onto my brown dress.
" Well its no good being silly, it might be the last time I'll ever see you, so please be happy. Flowers promise me two things," I said to them.
" Anything Nina," They said.
" Look after Harry and Gran for me, make sure you move in with them you can both have my room and I have prepared a room for Nico. Second thing: BE HAPPY! For me please? Nico will need you as he is going to be the head of the Hawthorne/ Martin family," I laughed
" Yes Nina, we promise, love you Nina, stay safe and beat them up!" Lily and Rose chorused
Lily and Rose, my flowers. I am definitely not going down without a fight. I will practise practise practise everything that I get taught. Lily and Rose, I want to watch them grow up. When Nico was 12 he had to take care of them and pay the bills and find a job for them, I was 11 and I needed to do the same. Me and Nico had to grow up fast and years later we are a real partnership he is like family I will go as far to say he is my brother and Lily and Rose are my sisters. The Hawthorne Martin family.
" Its Nico," The Peacekeeper said and Nico came straight through the door.
We looked at each and I knew this was going to be hard. His green eyes, were very misty.
" Nina I have something to say and I wish I said it now or it will be to late…I think I'm in love with you Nina…"
WHAT! A moment ago I was saying we were siblings? This can't be happening.. Nico is HAWT! He can't like me everyone loves Nico at school, he has the Hawthorne charm like everyone says when we look at Gale.
" Nico we can't can we focus on my family please? Save it till I get back?"
" What if you don't come back?" Nico said
" Nico I don't love you but I love you like a brother," I said giving him a hug.
" I know, I am just scared of not seeing you again." He said
" You will see me but even if I am dead out there, look after Harry he's my angel. You will see me in him. Look after my Gran as well, I have prepared you, Lily and Rose rooms so you can share the house instead of sitting in that grubby flat." I said
" I promise on my life that I will look after Harry and Gran," And he gave me a massive bear hug. " Remember about the sheep and goats, go buy them off Sheepman and start the business and keep going with the soup, try teaching it to Lily and Rose also Harry and Gran. Try selling the tesserae at the hob."
" Nina I know what to do, we have scrimped and saved for this." Nico said " Just fight for the Hawthorne Martin family." Nico said and the peace keeper ushered him out the door so Gran and Harry came in.
" Nines," Harry and Gran said.
I ran up to them crying my eyes out, I never wanted to leave them. I wanted to stay Hawthorn Martin forever. I just kept holding on to them because I knew the peacekeepers will be back in a matter of minutes. We didn't say anything, just held each other and frozen. Harry was quietly sobbing but we had to finally let go.
" Don't worry Harry, Nico will look after you."
" Nines I will treat you for when you come back," He said sounding so determined that I was going to get back.
" Yes we'll be together very soon," Gran said looking at me right in the eyes.
" I love you," I whispered to them.
" We love you to." And the peace keeper ushered them away.
The tears were streaming down my face at this point, I couldn't stop it. I am going to look like a weakling but I just let them fall down my face and I cried into the pillows on the velvet cushions. I heard someone come into the room, and I looked up it was Fabian. What was he doing in here? Why did he volunteer for Harry? And why did he do that thing years ago..
" We have to go and see Trudy and Victor now," He mumbled
"How bad am I?" I was getting defensive…
" Do you want the truth?" He said but there was a mirror I was a panda ,a red tomato panda.
" Wheres a bathroom?" I asked
" Oppisite this room!" He said.
I sprinted opposite the corridor, the bathroom was gold and they had dolphins for tap. If this was District 12s Justice Building, what would Anubis AND the Capital be like? The streets made of gold or platinum? I wonder maybe they have jewel encrusted raindrops? Jewel encrusted clouds? They are sick people, I bet it was Rufus who killed Katniss! What did you just say Nina? Well think say? I looked up at the wall there lied a portrait of President Snow. This was sick, everyone knew he was bad but we pretended to think he was good. Out of fear! I turned around and walked of the toilet, Fabian was there.
" So…." I said
" So…" He said, this was awkward! " We have to go down stairs,"
" Okay," And the boy took me downstairs so we could start travelling. Trudy was all fired up and ready to go. Victor had Jack Daniels in his hand. Absoutley mortal.
" Hello," I said
And this was how I started my awkward train Journey.
