Prim (double)
"Primrose Everdeen."
My stomach drops, my face pales. Everyone turns to look my way, but when I do the same, people avert their eyes. Slowly, shaking slightly, I move down the row and make my way to the stage.
My first year. Without tesserae too. I am, no, was, about as safe as I could be. It didn't matter.
"Prim! PRIM!"
I turn slowly as Katniss rushes past me. Sweeps me behind her as she addresses the escort.
"I volunteer. I volunteer as tribute."
What? No! She can't. Katniss turns to me. Grasps my shoulders. Looks me in the eye.
"Go find Mom. Go find her. I'm sorry, Prim." She is trying to stay strong, but in her eyes, I know she has no choice when it comes to me.
I scream against her going, but Peacekeepers surround her and propel her forward. To her possible death.
Strong arms pick me up as I continue screaming. I can smell the forest in Gale's clothes as he takes me farther from my sister. I see my mother, teary faced. One daughter reaped, the other facing a brutal death. Gale gently places me on the ground, and the three of us embrace.
