Chapter 2

A girl about 16 years old froze next to Cordelia. She was so young to die. A beautiful girl full of life and love. To her, life just has started. She just find the meaning of her life. Her love. Kyle. He was her first thought when she heard her name. She couldn't move from the fear.

"Zoe! Where are you dear? Come on you are the lucky one!" Zoe begun to walk to the stage but a voice stopped her.

"I VOLUNTEER! I volunteer as tribute!" It was Cordelia. She ran to Zoe and wrapped her arm around her.

"NO! Delia don't!" cried the girl. Zoe didn't want to be on the game, but also she would never let Cordelia die instead of her.

"Shh, it's okay, it's okay. Go back to Kyle." Delia tried to calm her down. She placed a kiss to her head and let go of her.

"NOO! PLEASE NO!" Zoe screamed as Kyle carried her back where Myrtle and Fiona stood.

"A volunteer! My God, it has never happened the games." the escort said happily as she helped Cordelia up to the stage.

"Cordelia Goode." Delia answered. She was frightened but still didn't show any feeling. She didn't want to shoe her weakness. Not to the people. Not to the other tribute. Especially not to her mother.

"You're the daughter of the last victor, am I right?" asked Effie but she already new the answer.

"Yes" Delia answered

"Oh how dramatic. Anyway, so this girl is our tribute from District 11. Happy Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor!"

Fiona chilled to her bone when she heard her daughter's words. Jesus H. Christ. What is that girl doing? She asked herself, but she get the answer sooner than she expect. Her girl was about to give her life just to save that little witch bitch. Fiona knew she wasn't the best mother to Delia. God, she wasn't even a mother to her but she always loved her daughter. Just in her own way. She wanted to run to her daughter, but strong arms stopped her. The axeman's arms were wrapped around her body. She started to sob hard. Her little baby. She couldn't lose her.

"LET ME GO! MY BABY!" Fiona cried as the axeman held her and storked her hair.

After the reaping, the hunters lead Delia to a room where she could say goodbye to her family. She just looked out of the window just like she did at her room. Her room. She knew she's never gonna see that house again. Suddenly the doors opened and her mother entered in.

"Fifteen minutes!"

Fiona ran to her daughter and took her into her arms. One hand was around her shoulder and the other was on her head, pulling her closer, softly stroking her light blonde hair. Cordelia didn't refuse her mother's embrace but she didn't hug her back.

"Oh my God, Delia! Why did you do that?!"Fiona ran her fingers through her daughter's hair.

"She's too young and so weak. She would just die in the arena. And most importantly, she is just a child." Delia answered. She wasn't sure that she would survive. Hearing this, Fiona held her even more closer. She was so proud of her daughter. She pulled back and looked into Delia's eyes.

"Delia..there is something I never told you but I want to tell you now, so listen please. I met your father before the game and we fell in love. He was so handsome, so loving, the best I could ask for. And after I won the game, and came back to your father, I thought I was the happiest woman has ever lived. But I was wrong. I was a miserable, wretched human being. But when I gave birth to you, you changed me. You were and are my guardian angel. When I looked at your little doe eyes, I fell in love with you. You were the one who made me the happiest woman. Then times changed and I became the worst mother to you. And I'm so sorry." Fiona said now sobbing. Cordelia hugged her tightly for the first time.

"Don't cry, don't cry over me. If I win that shit I will do anything to stop it. To stop them not to kill more innocent people. And probably I will get married and you'll have grandbabies." Delia said little bit crying. She always wanted to have children. She was lying to her mother. Cordelia only wanted to calm her. Fiona hugged her so tight she could hardly breath. She was an awful mother.

"I don't deserve you! I don't!"

"It's okay. I know what you're thinking. I forgave you a long time ago." Delia told her with a soft smile on her lips.

"I would do anything to hear you calling me Mom or at least Mother. I'm so proud of you. I admire you so, for what you've just done. I can't lose you. I can't lose my baby girl." Fiona couldn't imagine her life without her daughter.

"Now you're proud. I'm worthless, hopeless! And I'm going to die! You know it as well as I am!" Cordelia couldn't take it anymore. She couldn't do this.

"No! No! You're not any of these. You are so brave. You are a smart girl and you're going to win the game. It's in your blood." Fiona pulled back and cupped her Delia's face in her hands. She stroked her daughter's cheeks then she took her hand and give her a pin. It was a mockingjay.

"To save you when I won't be there." Fiona placed above her heart. She cupped her daughter's face again and kissed her forehead. "I love you" she said placing another kiss. Before Delia could answer, the hunters pushed the door open and pulled Fiona out of the room. She's started to screaming Cordelia's name again. Before they closed the door she could hear her daughter's words.

"I love you Mom."

Here it is the second chapter. I know that Fiona is not a motherly person but in my opinion, every mother, even Fiona, would put aside her pride in a situation like this. Anyway, so hope you like it. Leave a comment if you do. :))
