I never knew I'd get this far...20...wow...

**W**

No. This. Can. Not. Be. Happening. I look up just in time to see Lily walking up onto the stage - I have to stop myself from shouting for someone too help her...

I looked at Dolly and Beetee. Dolly looks like she's trying to think something over - I wonder what goes on in that mind of hers...

But Beetee looks calm, but his face does show a pained look, even if you can't see it very well. "I give you, d-3's tributes for the 57th Hunger games!" Soot shouts loudly, pulling me away from the hell of my mind.

All too soon we are on the train, heading to the capitol, I never dreamed I would be going there again...

As soon as we got on the train, Soot took Cog and Lily to their rooms, leaving, Beetee, Dolly, me and my mind. "Well, ain't this great!" Dolly said, sitting down in a chair across from me and Beetee. "Shut up..." Beetee mutters, I'll have to thank him later for saying that...But, just like Dolly, she doesn't shut up. "Hello, Beetee! We have Cog and Lily coming with us to the capitol..." She says in a baby sounding voice. "I'm not five, Dolly." Beetee mutters. "You act like it sometimes..." She mutters back.

It's then that I see a Beetee I have never seen before. "Dolly!" Beetee shouted, getting up and pulling her out of her chair. "You may not have killed anyone in your games, but I killed five people at once in mine, and I could kill you right here and now, if I wanted too, so I'd shut up." He throws her back down in her seat and sits back down next to me. "Whoa, that's the Beetee I knew!" Dolly said, smiling from ear to ear.

I blinked at them, I knew Dolly ahd mentored Beetee in his games, but how long have they known each other?

"Funny..." Beetee mutters. Right at that minute Lily runs back into the train car, she takes one look at us, before falling to the floor, crying her eyes out. I jump to my feet and walk over to her, followed closely by Dolly and Beetee, all the laughing and joking has died away.

Over the months, Dolly and Beetee had become good friends with Lily as well. "Lily..." Dolly says, pulling her to her feet. "We're sorry this happened..." She adds. "I - I know..." Lily cries. She makes me think of a little girl, even if she is a few months older then me - she makes me think of Willow...

Dolly hands Lily to me, who is still crying, I take my friend in my arms, hugging her. "I'm sorry, Lily..." I get out, tears falling down my cheeks, and my hair falling into my face. I feel a hand push the hair away from my face, I look up to see Beetee standing over me and Lily, with a sad smile on his face. "Lily, my dear, we're so sorry this had to happen." He said, rubbing Lily's back.

Lily keeps crying, I sit back down on the chair, rocking Lily - as if she were just a small child. I hear her sobs start to slow and her eyes start to close, before I could say a word, she's fallen asleep in my arms - I feel like a mother - even if she is a few months older then me. Dolly sits down next to me, as does Beetee - and for the first time, ever - I start to think about childen, this could be all of us one day, maybe me sitting with a baby, Beetee's arms around me, and Dolly giving us her sly smile that always says one thing 'I told you so!'

"I'll take Lily to her room, she needs the sleep." Dolly says, her voice very calm and sweet. She takes Lily from me, and walks out the room, leaving me and Beetee alone. At once I feel the tears going down my cheeks, and I hear myself sobbing. "Shh..." I didn't even know Beetee was hugging me. "I know, dear..." He whispers in my ear. "It's very upsetting..." He whispers, keeping his voice low and calm. He pulls me into his lap and rubs my back, my sobs have started to slow. This would have been the best time to kiss him, if it was not for one woman with goldie hair. "I'm gone for 2 minutes and you're already on each other!" Dolly says, coming to sit back down.

Me and Beetee glare at her, this makes Dolly smile. "Go ahead..." She mutters, turning away and tapping her hand on the table.

Tap, tap, tap...

My mins fills with the ound of the tapping, it won't stop! Luckly, Beetee sees something is wrong, he looked around the room, before his eyes rest on Dolly's tapping on the glass table. "Dolly, stop with the tapping, you're upseing Wiress." He says, rubbing my back, and muttering in my ear. Dolly looks up, she stops tapping the table, but this time clicks her tongue.

Click, click, click...

All of the noises are sounding in my mind, tapping and clicking. "Stop!" I say loudly, putting my hands over my ears, trying to stop the noise. "What's up with her!" Dolly says loudly, pointing at me. "I don't know, Dolly, just stop with the - clicking and the tapping!" Beetee says loudly, turning back to look at me. "Wiress, shh! Nothing's going to hurt you! The noise is gone..." Beetee whispers. "You're wrong!" I say loudly. "They're in my mind - crys as well...rings! Shouts of Milly and May dying! Shouts of you crying in pain...!" I say, closing my eyes, wishing for it all to stop. No more noise on the outside, Beetee and Dolly are both looking at me.

"I can hear the hum of the knife that helped me kill May..." I whispr, pulling my hands away from my ears. "The cold shouts of Milly and May, both crying out for the people they love back home...Harry's begging voice, asking me to end his life!" I say, my eyes going back in my head - So dizzy...need to sleep...That's when the world goes black and the last thing I see are two pairs of eyes looking at me, before I fall into the world of nightmares...

I pull myself out of a nightmare, sitting up in...my bed? I look around the room, turning on the nightlight next to it, it's dark outside...but surly, it's not already ngiht time?! I go to get out of bed, when I see a note lying on the floor. I pick it up and read it under the nightlight.

Wiress.

You blacked when we were all talking, I put you in bed, hope you're feeling okay...

Beetee.

I give a nod at the note, before swinging my legs out of bed and getting to my feet, I don't feel as shakey. I walk over the dresser and look for something to put on over my top. I pull out a light pink cardigan, it's not as bad as you'd think.

I throw it on and walk slowly out of the room, I already know I missed dinner. I hear voices up ahead and keep walking, until finding myself in the TV room. "Wiress, you're awake!" Beetee says, looking up, I give him a small nod. I walk over to a chair and sit down very slowly, looking around at the others. They're looking at the Reapings, i can't bring myself to look at them, knowing I'd only get nightmares knowing what Lily would have to face.

"And the gamemakers say this year, will truly be, like no other!" A man says, this catches me, I turn my head to look at the TV. "Yes, they say it will truly be like no other!" The other man says, laughing lightly.

I blink, wondering what they mean. "You know, they say the mutts this year are alot more human." The man says again, laughing along with the other one.

The TV goes black and I keep looking at it, wishing for them to say more.

A little more human?

Cliffhanger! Lol...R&R, maybe you kno what's gonna happen this year? Hm? Well...I'll give you a hint...NOCO! Try and think of what NOCO means and tell me, I bet you won't get it ^^

Dusty!
