AUTHORS NOTE: Hey everyone! So how it going? You guys excited for this new chapter? I am. Now I would like to dedicate this chapter to LexiandCato and Macey! It was a tie. Like right when Macey sent me a reply LexiandCato messaged me the correct answer so they both got it and it's only fair :D. Ok give them a round of applause. It was Maggs! She died in the second book because of the gas that was closing in on the alliance. DUHH! ;) Lol I love the Hunger Games so don't be sad if you didn't know this. A lot of people haven't even read the second book but that's ok. So you can ask me ANY questions you have about the Hunger Games just to test me :D. My friends and I do this at school and so far I am in the lead ;). Oh and my keyboard wants to be stupid today so yeah I was having some difficulties. I don't know how to fix it. It keeps putting it on capitalization and I don't have to push a button and it will switch to that mode. But I finally figured out how to make it work. I haven't fixed it but I can make it work. I am so sorry. Please forgive me. Tell me what you think of this chapter. So enjoy chapter 11!
Chapter 11 KPOV
I stand there holding a very disheveled Maggs while my mind reels with all sorts of questions. Why Maggs and not me? Why couldn't they have just taken me when Snow sent those guys to attack us? Why couldn't they have me and would have been through hurting everyone else? 'Because they find this whole situation HILARIOUS Katniss. That's why! Oh they're going to get what's coming for them.' My mind yells at me. Maggs dries up a little so I send her back down to the hovercraft with five people. You never know what could happen in this mansion with Snow living in it. Then we head towards the door Snow and Seneca went through. As I crept into the room all I saw was darkness. Then I see a streak of light flash on across from me and a couple more voices. They're coming back. So I tell the group to hide while I run into the dark room and feel my way around before crouching down behind something. I have my arrow aimed at the door and ready to fire. Then Snow appears in the doorway with Seneca by his side. All at once I am hit with the unbearable scent that is President Snow and a few strangled screams make their way to my ears. Must be music for Snow. So I shoot the Presidents leg enabling him to move. Then I take out another arrow and shoot Seneca in the same place. I hurriedly run over to them and put a gag around their mouths so they can make as much noise as before. Then I tie them up. I drag them both out to the room we had previously been in and drop them with a thud.
"We're back." I say in a dangerously low tone directed to President Snow and Seneca. I check the walls and see that they are sound proof. Perfect…
" So what should we do first? Burn you alive like the fate you caused my father to have. Or have my friend and I cut you up in pieces. Oh yeah, I know the fire wasn't an accident. And your death will be the most painful of all of the others you have caused. You hear me?" I'm up in his face now. Seething with anger and the rest of the group can see it too so they back up a little. I take the gag out of their mouths.
" Yes I can hear you. And you are correct I did start the fire. I enjoyed every minute filled with his screams of agony too. The way he screamed for you to help him, for anyone to help him, while the peacekeepers held you back. The poor little girl couldn't do anything to help her father. And I know what your thinking. If I am so evil why would I have had the peacekeepers' hold you back so you wouldn't burn to death to in the process? I wanted you to suffer. I wanted you alive so you could suffer everyday hearing your father screaming for you in his dreams. I wanted to make you suffer more by entering your sister into the Hunger Games to watch her die to but what I didn't expect was you volunteering. I was shocked to the bone when I heard you scream that. You were only 12. But you ended up winning anyways." I stare at Snow for a while I let his words sink in. All of a sudden I'm taken into a flashback.
Me and my dad were walking through the field picking Rue flowers to bring to my friend Rue while my mom was fixing her broken arm. I finished picking every flower in sight when my father spoke.
"Hey why don't we go get something to eat before we get home, flower?" He smiled down at me calling me my nickname I got when I came home from work one day with flowers coving every part of me.
" Sure daddy! I'll race you!" I yelled sprinting as fast as my legs would allow. My father, having longer legs than me, was ahead by a few feet. Then all of a sudden he stops and picks me up then spins me around. I giggled and kissed my daddy's cheek.
"Come on lets fill that big belly of yours." I say as I poke my fathers belly teasing him.
"Ok pumpkin! Lets go." He says as he walks into the second mess hall. There are three mess halls. We have many people in district 11. I have to say it is the largest district in all Thirteen. We wait in line for a few minutes and when it's our turn my father gives the waiter 6 fartherings. A farthering is a lot considering what all we get paid. A farthering isn't quite as much as a penny but it is close. Daddy says they will make actual pennies in the next year. Also the year my sister and I are eligible for the Hunger Games. Prim is in the field collecting her share of the fruit today. When we get our food we sit down on the wooden stool made for the customers. Then I starts to speak, breaking the silence.
"Daddy I'm scared. I don't want to go into the Hunger Games." I say frightened at the thought of having to go to the death chamber they call a game.
"Don't worry Kitty. You won't go into the Hunger Games as long as I am here. I will do anything I can to keep you from those horrid monsters." Little did I know he was going to die that night.
"Come on Kat let's go home before it gets too late." My father says throwing away our trash.
"Ok daddy. I love you. Thank you so much for helping me gather flowers for Rue." I say as I hug him and give him a big kiss on the cheek. He does the same before I shout out in excitement,
"Lets have a race!" I have always loved to run and my dad is the best at it. But as soon as I get out of the building the side collapses before my father can get out. That's when I see it. The flames. Engulfing the house like it's the best meal in the world. I start screaming and thrashing around trying to do anything to get back to my father and save him from this terrible fate. I scream and scream for my father but all I hear back are his agonized screams. Then the peacekeepers that were holding me down drag me back and make me watch as the flames snap at my father. His beautiful olive skin turning black. His screams continue to run through my head as I break down and cry mumbling, father, over and over again until I am dragged into a alley way and beaten.
I come back out of the trance I was in and slap President Snow. The sound echoes across the room leaving the president with a very red mark. He growls at me and I spit in his face for the heck of it. Then I turn to Seneca.
"Why what do we have here?" I smile viciously looking at him slyly.
" P-Please don't hurt me! I-I'll d-do a-a-anything you want!" He pleads.
" You will suffer the same fate as your companion here Seneca." I say then look to the rest of the group.
"Let's take them back into the hovercraft to District 12. Everyone there would love to see this. It will be District 12 because it's the most unfortunate District out of them all and it is because of Snow." I say they all nod and Cato stands beside me. He grabs my hand and kisses it. Knuckle after knuckle.
"We will be okay Katniss. Don't worry about a thing. As long as I'm here with you nothing and I mean nothing will happen to you. I love you." He says looking into my steel Grey eyes.
"I love you too Cato. I love you so much. Please don't leave me like everyone else I have loved. Please!" I Hug him after kissing him.
"I promise Katniss. I love you more than anything in the whole world. Now come on lets go back to the hovercraft so we can go back home." He says kissing me again. Then we climb back through all of the passages that led us here and when we landed on the forest ground Clove pops up out of no where and hugs me.
"We did it! Katniss we did it! See I told you we would make it." She says. Her voice muffed into my shirt.. I hug her back. We all get onto the train and as soon as Finnick and Marvel see me they tackle me.
"What a warm 'I missed you' guys!" I say sarcastically. They laugh then yell in synch,
"We love you Kitty!" Once that word leaves their mouths I finally breakdown on the inside trying hard to not show it on the outside.
"Kitty what's wrong?" This time I can't hold it in any longer. I cry and cry. I cry for my father. I cry for all of those people that died in the games. But most of all I cry for all of those lives out there that I couldn't save. I can't hear anything else. I can only hear all of those screams of agony. All the ones I was forced to sit there and listen to. I can't feel anything neither. I'm numb. I'm falling. I can see my cuts reopen. The blood spurts out and I watch it. It's like I can't move at all. I can finally feel my head. By the throbbing I am feeling I most likely hit it off something. Black spots invade my vision. Threatening to go blind. Then I do. I fall unconscious. When I awake I am mortified. I can't see anything, move, or talk. What's wrong with me? I can finally hear.
"KATNISS! No please don't leave we made it so far! Please we love you. We need you don't do this again please. Don't die please." I hear Clove talk but I cannot respond. I am not dead. Am I?
"Move out of the way!" I hear Prim. Then I feel my self being carried and I hear Finnick and Marvel talking to me.
"Katniss Please come back we didn't mean to. I am so sorry if we did anything wrong. We love you so much. We could never do anything to hurt you we are so sorry!" I hear Finnick scream out. And Marvel is by my side crying so hard he is soaking my shirt. The Finnick joins in not too long after. Then I hear someone walk in and announce that I am in a coma. And that it could be weeks before I wake up. Then in the distance I can hear Cato shouting at someone to let go of him that he needs to see me, I am is everything and he can't live without me. And even though I might be in a coma I can feel one single tear slide down my face.
Authors Note: Sorry again my keyboard is acting up. It's not just an excuse. If I hit enter and start writing it will have all of the words capitalized. So the only reason I got this authors not like this is by typing the whole thing up to the paragraph above then I hit enter hoping it won't immediately put it on capitalization. It only just started doing this. And it is really annoying :{ Grrr. So frustrating. So tell me what you think of this chapter. So wow Katniss is in a coma! O_o …. I will have Cato's POV and some few others. So you guys review or message me and tell me whose POV you want it to be. I will fit all of it in the next chapter. I promise. Just review and tell your friends. Favorite and Follow. You make me happy :P
