I stood in a meadow covered in yellow flowers my hair blowing in the breeze my dirt covered outfit looked so out of place here in this perfection. He stood there in front of me dressed in white from head to toe his dark eyes boring into mine. I walked forward slowly in a daze as he reached his out towards mine, my fingers brushed against his but I was pulled backwards by a gust of wind flying across the meadow.

'THRESH!' I sat bolt upright in my cave as the rain poured down on the roof, I was covered in sweat and my heart was pounding. I leaned against the cool wall and tried to stay calm, Thresh haunted my dreams almost every night and I truly missed him. I knew the only way we would ever be together was if I died and doing what I was about to do would make that happen.

The rain stopped around midday and I trudged through the mud as the trees sprinkled me with water, I was almost to District 11 now after travelling for 3 months. By now the Victor's tour would be starting and security would be amped up everywhere making it harder for me to find a way in. I knew from Thresh that 11 was a high security district so I decided that to get there I would have to take a train from 10 to 11 as there was no chance of me breaking in. I had to keep my promise to Thresh to take care of his family.

I crawled slowly to the fence surrounding the outskirts of 10 and knew the fence wouldn't be electrified due to endangerment of the livestock. I found a spot covered by trees and used my knife to cut a small hole in the base of the fence and wriggled under. It was from there I knew I had a major problem, there was nothing but field stretching for kilometres with a town far in the distance, there was no way that I could make it over there without being spotted.

I waited in the brush until the sun began setting, a truck carrying 14 workers pulled up and they started feeding the animals. I waited until they were far enough away from the truck before I bolted forward and jumped in the back hiding under some empty feed sacks. I lay completely still until the truck began moving and we drove into town. I waited for 10 minutes before I peeked over the side; I was in an empty storage room with 20 other trucks. I could hear the train was close so I swung my legs over the side and jumped to the floor. I crouched down and slid the door open slowly, there was no one in sight so I bolted to the trains and jumped in the closest box to me on its way to 11 and 12. It was filled with cheap cloth which was lucky since it could've been filled with raw meat considering where I was.

The journey was short and the train arrived in 11 early in the afternoon, I could hear cheers coming from outside and the footsteps of Peacekeepers as they unloaded the trains.
'Guys they need more men in the square, they're worried about things getting out of hand.' A voice rose from outside my crate and the footsteps echoed into the distance as they all followed him away. I cracked the lid to check if the coast was clear before bolting out of the station and down a deserted road. I followed the noise to the main square which was filled with people; I pulled my hood up covering my face and plunged into the sea of people.

A large stage was placed outside the Justice building in the centre of the square and Peacekeepers were scattered through the crowd, I inched towards the centre of the crowd where less of them stood hiding behind the broad shoulders of the men of 11. Music filled the air as Katniss and Peeta stepped onto the stage sending the crowd screaming, I tried to look like I was enjoy myself as an attempt to fit in, the families of the dead sit on the sides of the stage Thresh's grandmother and sister sit there and my heart nearly breaks. The mayor begins to speak but I ignore him focusing only n the family of the man I loved. Peeta steps forward and speaks first talking about how Thresh and Rue were great and yada yada yada, he didn't know them like I did and he had no right to talk about them like he did.
'It can in no way replace your losses, but as a token of our thanks we'd like for each of the tributes' families from District Eleven to receive one month of our winnings every year for the duration of our lives. Juniper Odair made that promise to Thresh and now I intend to keep it.' My eyes grew wide as he said this; he did what I had promised Thresh to do all along, to give all my winnings to him to make sure that his family was okay. The crowd around me screamed at the top of their lungs and tears rolled down my cheeks as I thought of my broken promise and how someone I barely knew would keep it for me.

They kiss and are presented with a plaque and I stand there waiting for her to say something, anything but she remains silent. She knew Rue and Thresh spared her life yet she couldn't muster up one thing to say about them. I rolled my eyes and started to move away from the stage. 'Wait!' I spin round as she stumbles forwards, the plaque pressed to her chest. 'Wait, please. I want to give my thanks to the tributes of District 11; I only ever spoke to Thresh one time. Just long enough for him to spare my life. I didn't know him, but I always respected him. For his power. For his refusal to play the Games on anyone's terms but his own. The Careers wanted him to team up with them from the beginning, but he wouldn't do it. I respected him for that. But I feel as if I did know Rue, and she'll always be with me. Everything beautiful brings her to mind. I see her in the yellow flowers that grow in the Meadow by my house. I see her in the mocking jays that sing in the trees. But most of all, I see her in my sister, Prim. Thank you for your children. And thank you all for the bread.'

For the first time in months I felt that someone was actually being real, I hear someone whistle from behind me the same song Rue sang as she sat in the tree surrounded by mocking jays when we found her. Again I fought back the tears, all around me in complete unison everyone pressed their three middle fingers and held them up to her. As Peeta and Katniss are pulled off the stage Peacekeepers storm the crowd and I'm filled with dread I'm out in the open and anything could happen to me. Bu they charge right past me and grab the man behind me who whistled, the crowd goes into an uproar as the old man is dragged onto the stage. People everywhere are being held back by Peacekeepers, they force the man to his knees and put a bullet through his brain and I can't help but fell somewhat responsible. The crowd is shoved towards the houses and out of the square; I try to get back to the trains but am pushed backwards by a sea of people. Out of nowhere a hand covers my mouth and I feel a knife at my back as I am pulled backwards into darkness.
