Author's note:
sorry I haven't updated in a while but I've had all my electronics confiscated for a fortnight so I've been unable to go online but here you are, my next chapter
Prim' P.O.V
I'm sill being overtaken by the shock of what just happened and how I'm probably never going to see my family again and then I noticed Rory sat across from me. And then It hits me Rory is going into the games with me, and one of us is going to die, and that's going to be me. He must see he recognition in my eyes because he embraces me and I break down in his arms as he cradles me and whispers soothing words whilst I sob into his chest. I can't help but feel responsible for him being here and I hate myself for it. why did he have to love me so much, why not someone else, what is so special about me.
I lift my head from his chest and try to recompose myself to try and get my words out but all that I can muster is a quiet squeak and he pulls me into his arms again as he caress' my cheek and I can't help but feel how normal It is and even in the worst time theres a hint of happiness when I'm with him. I tr to speak but he stops me by hugging me harder so I give in and just enjoy his warmth and listen to his steady heartbeat until I feel myself fall into unconsciousness.
Rory' P.O.V
She lay on my lap sleeping peaceful as though the world around her doesn't exist and she's just in her own world. I just stare in awe at her perfect golden blonde hair lay carelessly on her shoulders in two identical braids, her adorable little button nose, everything about her just seems so perfect. I'm pulled from my thoughts as a rather drunken man walks into he room and staggers over to the sofa and slumps down splashing his drink all over himself. Prim begins to stir in her sleep and slowly her eyes flutter open revealing those bright blue eyes that were once filled with happiness that is now replaced with sorrow and fear. I smile a saddened smile towards her and she trys to return It but It seems impossible to do at this time. the old man that is sat at the opposite side of the room cuts the silence with a nervous laugh that make makes him sound crazy and me and Prim look up towards him to see him staring right at us.
Hamitch' P.O.V
I laugh uncontrollably at the sight in front of me, I just can't seem to help myself its unreal. It's not a sincere laugh but a nervous one and I cant' seem to compose myself after my outburst so I just sit staring at the two children opposite me with a smirk plastered on my face. I must look crazy to them and It just shows on there faces.
I'm taken aback when the boy begins to yell at me,"So you just think you can walst in here and laugh at us! you know we're going into the games in a couple of days and you've got to try and keep us alive!" At that he walks out of the room dragging the girl with him and I can't help but feel shocked at what just happened and then It hits me. I might actually have a pair of fighters this year.
Gale' P.O.V
the shock is still here and I feel as though all of this is just a dream and I'll wake up in a minute and I'll be back a home with Rory and Vick and Katniss will be at home with Prim and then later I'll go hunting but I know none of that is true and that Rory is going to die. Katniss has already gone past the shock and is now sobbing on my lap whilst I caress her cheek gently and It feels as though whilst we're in his horrible situation we have our own little bubble of happiness to keep us having the will power to live.
