I forgot Marvel too :/ Just pretend he's there…
LAST TIME: "She likes to call Mel. She's only 7 and that's when they bring you in to train at the academy. But I made a deal with them. If I volunteer this year, then she wouldn't have to go the academy and someone would take care of her."
"But you don't trust them." I said. He nodded. "That's why you want to go back." I heard someone running thought the woods. I was on my knees with my bow loaded. Foxface froze when she saw me. I lower my bow.
"You can come. We won't hurt you." Rue said. I didn't even know she was awake. She smiled at Foxface and the redheaded girl smiled as she walked over.
"Well, now that everyone is here…what the hell do we do now?"
Katniss POV
"Well, I guess we can—" Rue started but she didn't finish. Claudius Templesmith's voice came on, sounding very frantic. I heard gunshots and shouting. Rue ran into my arms and I held onto her tight.
"Tributes!...Stay together and alive!... Hunger Games are on hold!...Rebels are attacking….Stay Alive!" I heard him scream one more time before it stop. It was now deadly quiet and you could only hear the Mockingjays singing and us breathing.
"What the hell?" Clove said.
"Do you think what they're saying is true, Katniss?" Rue asked me. Do I think it was true? Yes! Didn't we just hear the screams and gunshots?
"Yes. But it will be alright." I said to the little girl in my arms and smiled.
"It will be alright?" Glimmer shouted. "We're stuck in this hellhole for who knows how long!"
"Shut the hell up, Glimmer." Marvel said.
"Both of you shut up. It's not going to help if we're all fighting." Peeta said. Clove glared.
"Who's in God's name put you in charge?" She growled.
"I'm not in charge. I'm just saying, it's not going to help!" He shouted.
"Hey, if anyone's in charge it's me." Cato said. Everyone now turned to him. Well, everyone but Foxface, District 9, Thresh, Rue and me. We just watched. Now they started fighting over who was in charge. You got to be kidding me. They started screaming and yelling about it for like 5 minutes until Rue spoke up.
"Will you guys stop fighting about who's in charge?" She shouted. Everyone stopped and looked at her. I was shocked that this 12 year old girl was louder them. "If anything, none of you should be! Peeta is right! If we keep fighting, it's not going to help! We 're all stuck in here for who knows how long and we keep fighting, we all going to be dead!" When she was done, she took a deep breath. Her little cheeks were red from yelling. Everyone looked shocked at Rue in my arms.
"Damn…"Marvel said.
"Okay." Cato said.
"I think Katniss should be in charge." Rue said. I looked at her and said, "What?" So did Cato.
"Why 12?" Clove snarled.
"Because she can hunt and she not fighting about being in charge." Rue said. Everyone was quiet and I couldn't believe that she wanted me to be in charge.
"She's got a point." Peeta said.
"Who asked you!?" Clove shouted.
"She's right." Peeta said to her. "She can keep us alive and she can hunt. I think she should be in charge."
"No!" I shouted. Everyone looked at me. "I don't want to be in charge."
"Then who will be?" Rue asked.
"No one." Peeta said. "We'll work together. " Clove scoffed. He glared at her. "Or you can go out in woods and fend for yourself with no help at all." She grimaced.
"Fine." She growled, crossed her arms and pouted like a child.
"We need to go hunting now anyways. Someone blew up our food." Cato said, looking at me. I grimaced. "Come on, firegirl. You're coming with me."
Oh great.
If i disappear for more than a year, I'm probably never coming back...
So yeah...
Anyways...REVIEW! :D
