hey guys! its tuesday and i promised to update so here i am! i got back from my cruise today so that sucks but on the ride home i am writing this and I'm gonna post it when i get home! ok so here you go this chapter is a little cheesy but i love it! leave ideas for new chapters in the reviews!
"Ladies and gentleman. the moment you have all been waiting for... please welcome to the stage Peeta Mellark, River Mellark, Willow Mellark and The mockingjay, the girl on fire our very own katniss Everdeen!" at that moment the screen doors pulled back and we were flooded with bright lights and screaming fans.
We all release hands and my dad walks out receiving cheers and some of the women in the front row giving him flirty eyes, i gag a little. Then my little brother walks out looking awfully confused by the situation but he waves and smiles none the less, the audience's AW's fill the room at my brothers adorableness and i just roll my eyes and realise its my turn.
i walk out to the stage nervously and slowly so i don't trip the audience gasp at the sight of me... or my dress, i'm not sure. loud applause fills the room and i just wave and put on a fake smile and walk towards where my dad and brother stand next to a large couch.
Finally it's my moms turn and the second she steps forward bright lights stream across the audience and there are flames that scatter the stage. the audience are roaring and screaming and chanting my mothers name and she is smiling. but its not a happy smile, its more like an devilish smirk of sorts, like she's planning something that only she knows. it makes me worry.
she slowly makes her way over to the couch and all 4 of us sit down in the order we came on, my mom closest to caesar. my mom and dad get up and walk over to caesar and... hug him?... surely my eyes are playing tricks on me, my parents hate the capitol and here they are hugging caesar flickerman as if they were friends. caesar then releases my parents and shakes rivers hand lightly and takes my hand and kisses the back of it... this is too weird
the audience finally quieten down and are all eagerly sitting in their chairs waiting for us to begin talking
"hello katniss" caesar begins with a smirk
"hello" is all my mom says before what feels like an earthquake begins, the audience are up on their feet screaming and cheering and stomping their feet, its like going to the zoo and holding 500 bananas in front of hungry monkeys but they cant have them because they are behind the cage.
"alright alright! so katniss, peeta, how have you been?" caesar asks and the audience all sit on the edge of their seats
"we have been excellent caesar" my dad replies cooly putting on a smirk and leaning back in his chair
"thats good, so what has been happening lately, anything new?" caesar asks curiously
"well, we apart from the fact that we are back where we belong, nothing new!" my mom says and my mouth literally drops open. did she just say that we belong in the capitol? MY PARENTS HATE THE CAPITOL! what the hell is going on?
"close your mouth honey, you'll catch flies" my mom says to me and all the audience bursts into laughter at my moms remark. my mom looks at me sympathetically as if she didn't mean what she said. then it hits me
my mom once told me something about a mask that they all put on to keep the capitol from seeing their true self and to keep them happy, my mom hates the capitol but she just can't say it.
when the laughter dies down caesar turns to my brother and i
"well, i must say you have created some wonderful children peeta and katniss!" caesar exclaims and the audience appear to clap and cheer in agreement
"so river, what's it like to be the son of the mockingjay?" caesar asks my brother and my brother just looks confused
"um, my mommy was a hero and then i was born and now I'm here, so its cool i guess" the audience fills with AW's and cheers for the 6 year old with my moms hair and eyes and my dads features
"and willow" caesar turns to me and i shiver a little, i'm nervous, what if i say something wrong!? "whats it like being the daughter of the mockingjay?"
i freeze, i dont know how to answer this question because i cant exactly say 'yeah i only found out like last month that my mother killed loads of people and she is a world hero' although i would love to see retraction that would get
"um, i guess its good" i mumble not looking at the audience
"good?" caesar presses on "surly being the daughter of the world greatest woman has got to have some perks!?"
"um yeah" is all i can really say
there is a short pause before caesar breaks it with a loud laugh
"ladies and gentleman i think we have all noticed that the beautiful Willow is wearing a certain familiar dress" the audience whoops and cheers
"willow can i ask if it does the same as your mothers did?" caesar asks with raised eyebrows
i let the pause ring on for a few seconds before replying "i guess we will find out" i smile and the audience cheers
"mom help me out?" i turn to my mom and hold out my hand for her to take. she gets up and joins me at the front of the stage
we look at the audience who are all beady eyed on the edge of their seats waiting for us to turn.
i then look at my mom who is staring at me waiting for what i can only assume is a sign to turn.
'one, two... three' i mouth to her and we start turning at the same time.
it all happened so fast that i feel dizzy. all i heard was roars and screams and cheers! as i turn i could see the fire surrounding me in a circle. i can't help but smile, the fire may be surrounding me but i feel like there is a fire inside of me right now burning me from the inside. but its not the type of flame that would kill me, it feels more like its igniting something inside of me to make me turn faster and faster. and before i know it i have fallen on the ground in a heap. my head hits the ground and hard
the room is spinning and i see black spots at the edges of my vision. i just lye there exhausted and breathing heavily until i feel someone pick me up, i look up at the face and i see my dad looking down at me with a very worried expression
"Willow? Willow are you ok darling?" my dads concerned voice fills my ears and i try my best to respond but my brain still hurts from all the spinning. i hear the screaming and worried gasps of people in the audience
"i think she needs to go lye down somewhere" my dad says "will someone come take her to her floor" my dad says and i hear someone coming up the steps to the stage.
what happens next confuses me. firstly i hear the audience gasps and murmurs and then i am carefully placed into someones secure arms. i recognise them instantly... finn
i gaze up and him with my head still throbbing
"hey princess" he smirks that devilish smirk that i love so much
"hey" i manage to croak out before i shut my eyes and nuzzle into his chest forgetting that i am on a stage with millions watching me
i feel finn kiss the top of my head and the crowd starts screaming and cheering but i ignore them because i am too comfortable in the position i'm in.
i open my eyes when finn moves off the stage and we go to the waiting area where he sits down on a couch with me on his lap. i snuggle into his chest a little more and relax. he kisses the top of my head again and i get little butterflies in the pit of my stomach. i sit up with the little energy i have and kiss him passionately on the lips. then smile and snuggle back into his chest. somewhere in the next few minuets i manage to fall asleep.
Reviews means more chapters!
