Chapter 14: Singing
On the next day of training, Rachel came in singing. Finn joined in with a low harmony, and they finished the song with a kiss. They started singing a traditional District 7 lullaby, until they were surprised to hear a third voice join in. They both turned around to see a poor pregnant girl standing behind them, her blonde hair over her eyes.
"My mother came from District 7. She ran away when I was born. She used to sing it to me."
"That's lovely. Great." Rachel, to be perfectly honest, didn't care at all. She carried on singing, annoyed that she joined in again.
After the second chorus, there were seven voices: Rachel, Finn, Quinn, Blaine, Kurt, Artie and Tina. The whole Training Centre had stopped to hear them singing. The Careers looked at them like 'what the hell do they think they're doing?' but then Santana and Mercedes added their own harmonies. Soon all the Careers were singing.
The only ones not singing were Dave, Sebastian, Katniss and Rick. The whole Training Centre was filled with the sweet notes of the District 7 lullaby.
Close your eyes, and go to the wood
Dance with your angels where the gods once stood
Then go to the trees and dry all your tears
And there you can sing, where nobody hears
