Hi guys, do you think I should continue with mockingjay? Please review. (My favorite chapter)
Peeta POV
No. No. No. No. She can't die. She can't. I just can't lose her. They won't be able to save her like they saved me; she will die a horrible, torturous death by the careers. I won't be able to watch her die, to see her take her last breath. And then my family walks in. Rye and Will engulf me in a bone crushing hug. "You're alive," says Rye. "I knew you would make it little bro." My father doesn't say anything, he just holds me in his embrace until my mother clears her throat. "Your seam brat is on," she says. And everyone in the room turns in her direction, with their mouths gaping open. And it takes me a few seconds to realize what she's saying. And as soon as I do I lung across the room taking to her to the ground, and within three second there's a knife held against her throat. "She saved me you witch, she saved my life. I love her and she's about to die, you think that's funny you witch, you wanna laugh that your daughter-in-law is about to die, that your grandchild's never goanna see the world, well maybe that's good because I wouldn't want her to meet you, because you're not my family anymore, you witch. And I continue to string out the vilest words I've ever heard and will ever say.
Then they stare at me in shock, mouths agape and the room seems to freeze, and for what seems like forever, no one seems to move. And finally my father whispers, "It was true then, the baby was real," and when I give a slight shake of my head he says, "I'll never get to meet her, I'll never get to meet my little grandchild," and with that he falls over in a dead faint. And when my father faints, my brothers drag me off the witch, while I continue to scream obesities at her until when I finally stop, and she says her words with regret in her voice, "She was pregnant," and that's the last thing I hear before she's dragged out of the room.
I sink to my knees and begin to sob for Katniss' end, for never being able to meet my child, and most of all for the unfairness of the world, for the reaping, for the games, and for Snow being born. I will kill him. If I ever find him I will kill him for this. I will kill him. I hear footsteps enter the room. "They have Annie, they have her," he says. And together we sob on the ground, and make our last vow, to kill Snow.
Prim POV
She is going to die. There is no hope, she can't escape the careers again, four trained kills, ruthless murders, "She could make it out you know, she has her bow," says a voice in my head, but I shake it off. A little hope is effective, but too much hope is dangerous. This is my fault, if I wasn't so weak, I wouldn't need her to volunteer for me, she would still be alive, and I would be rightfully dead, and she could be alive and happy. My fault, all my fault. And I watch Katniss run toward the one o'clock section, leaving heavy footprints and a visible path. Does she want to die? I wonder. I know she can be way more stealthy than that, try Katniss I will her, at least try. She finally stops by the tall tree and stands there. "Run Katniss run," I scream at the TV. "Run Katniss, run." I yell at the TV over and over again, until I'm hoarse. When she finally regains her breath, she leans over and pukes and clutches her stomach. What is wrong with her? I wonder. Could she really be pregnant? Gale said it was all a lie, but could it be true, could I become an aunt if this didn't happen, but I'll probably never know, because I'll never talk to Katniss again.
Flashback
"Maybe I'd think that too, Caesar," says Peeta bitterly, "if it weren't for the baby." And the whole district twelve stares at the screen in shock. No one speaks for a while until Gale whispers "It couldn't be true, it's not true, it's not true, it's not true," he says this over and over again while the whole district stares at the screen in shock. Now the capitol people are screaming of the injustice, the cameras are out of focus and all the peacekeepers walkie-talkies are beeping, the mayor gets up abruptly and leaves. And the look on Katniss' face looks true and she and Peeta hold each other for dear life. We see Caesar's lips moving, but cannot hear him over the capitol people. And Peeta and Katniss rise together in tears, when the victors hold hands, showing the first unity between districts in seventy-four years. And then I hear my mom begin to sob hysterically, "I'll never get to see my grandchild, I'll never get to meet her," and the whole crowd seems to feel her pain, and every parents seems to feel with my mother and Katniss and when I realize I never will be an aunt, I break down and sob.
END OF FLASHBACK
And as I'm remembering the past, I realize something. Katniss is going to die for me; she is going to die for my freedom, the country's freedom, Peeta's life, Snow's death, and she will even give her childs life. All for me. All for me. All for me. All for me. "Prim," she calls out in the arena. "I love you Prim, don't give up, whatever you do don't give up." And when I hear her final words, I throw myself on the floor and sob until I can cry no more.
Gale POV
I'm sitting in a hover craft above Katniss' final resting place. She's going to die. She's going to die. When I turned 16, I finally began to notice how much I liked her, how much I cared about, and how much I wanted her to like me more than a friend. How I just wanted to not be in the "friend zone", I wanted to be in the lover's zone. When she was finally free of the reaping I was going to tell her how much I really liked, how much I wanted to marry her, the prettiest girl in Panem. But I never got the chance. I always imagined coming home from the work in the mines, coming home to her, and that was the only thing that made the job, my life bearable. But that would never happen in this world.
Haymitch is sitting next to me, and he's not a bit drunk. I'm shocked that the district's drunk was actually a mastermind of the rebellion. I think everyone would be, but they think we're dead, that we died in a "fire" the night Katniss shot Finnick. And since that I've been wondering that haunting question, if she was really pregnant. And I'm shocked that I just referred to her in the past tense, as if she was already gone. Suddenly I hear beeping and Haymitch shoots up like a rocket. "Stay hear boy," he says, and then leaves the room. I just her bits and pieces of the conversation, "Give up…..Boy knocked out…..really pregnant….Annie captured…..Joanna stabled….lost arm…..Wiress dead…Finnick down…..hold in Six…." And I begin to wonder what is going on, when Prim enters the room, sobbing.
