D12F's Family
"Mummy?" asks Jacob. His mother stared at him with red, dry eyes. "Where's Rachel?"
"Rachel had to... Go somewhere," his mother replied, choking back her tears. She warned her daughter, stop, don't do this, rebels get killed! And now it was too late...
"Will she be back soon?" questioned little Ryan, Jacob's twin.
"No, sweetheart. Rachel isn't coming back."
"Ever?" replied Ryan, his eyes filling up with tears.
"You'll see her one day," comforted his mother. "Just not for a long, long time." And she gathered both boys into a hug, tears streaming down her cheeks.
D9M's Family
"Alice? Alice!" repeats Casey. "Alice!"
"Casey... Nicholas, my Nick, is dead..."
"I know, Alice, I know, but Lisa-Anne needs you. She's still alive in that awful arena."
"Does it matter anymore?" Alice asked, sorrow in her eyes.
"Yes it does!" Casey almost screamed. "Yes it does, Alice, it does matter!"
Alice looked at him with startled, frightened eyes.
"I couldn't save either of my tributes," Casey continued. "Now I have to go back to district 10 and look at their families, suffering from their losses."
Alice just stared.
"Look," he said, gently this time. "I know it's hard, losing Nick. But Lisa-Anne has family too. Think of what her death would mean to her aunt, her parents, her grandparents, her friends. Think of Lisa-Anne- she doesn't want to die! Focus, Alice. Get Lisa-Anne out. For Nicholas."
And Alice nodded sharply. "Right," she said. "I've lost my nephew, and it is sad, and hard, but I can deal with it later," she spoke clearly, small tears running down her face. She ignored them. "Now, I've got a tribute to get out!"
Casey smiled and walked off. Mission complete- even if his tributes were gone, he could still help Alice help Lisa-Anne. And that's what he intended to do. He typed in some commands into a nearby computer screen, and all of District 10's sponsor money- although little- was transferred into District 9's, under a button called 'Alliance Transfer'. This was meant for deceased tributes with allies, who would have wanted their friends to win after they were gone.
D10F's Family
Lucy had turned the television off as soon as the screaming started. She didn't want to watch her daughter be tortured to death on national television. Mandatory viewing didn't matter anymore. Her daughter. Barely a teenager. Her only daughter. Still her baby girl.
Gone. Stolen from this world by Snow.
Snow had to pay.
"Hello? Am I speaking to Mrs Lockley of District 12? I'm ever so sorry about your daughter. Oh, thank you. She would appreciate it if she was still with us... I know... It's hard... It isn't your fault- it's Snow's. That's actually why I'm calling you... Yes. I guessed as much when she jum-fell off the podium... Yes. Yes. Of course... It's quite funny really, the mothers' revolt!" Lucy tried to laugh, but it got stuck in her throat and tears came out instead. She could hear Mrs Lockley sobbing down the other end of the line. "Look, how about we meet up two weeks today? I can catch the train to 12, and we can plan... Great, see you then... Bye now. I'm sorry for your loss, again... Thank you... Bye now then."
Lucy hung up the phone. She would avenge her daughter. And Mrs Lockley would avenge hers. Mrs Lockley's twin sons would never grow up facing the Hunger Games. No more blood would be shed.
A/N: in case you were wondering, the phone conversation in POV 3 was with the mother in POV 1. They are planning to overthrow Snow by the way. Lucy knows Rachel's mum is rebellious because she figured out why Rachel jumped off the podium in case that wasn't clear either.
And yes. This is an alternate Panem where they have telephones in all districts.
