Hi again! So I am very disappointed with the amount of reviews for the last chapter. I know that it wasn't very long and a filler, but the chapter was none the less necessary. I understand there may be some confusion, but Peeta and Glimmer are cousins(as random as it may be) and they will try to leave Panem.
I will NOT do a Everlark pairing, since I hate that Katniss ended up with Peeta. Do not ask me, I will NOT say yes.
Currently on the Poll, the asked for pairings are:
Cato/Katniss(4)
Prim/Rory(4)
Cato/Clove(2)
Lexi/Gale(2)
Katniss/Gale(2)
Rue/Rory(1)
Clove/Thresh(1)
Adriana/Peeta(1)
Prim/Damion(1)
BUT! In the reviews the FAR most asked Pairings are Gale/Katniss(7+) and Cato/Clove(3+). If you really want me to do a pairing you have to vote on my poll, because if you just say the pairing in the review, I wont pay that much attention to it.
Also, if I do the Katniss/Gale pairing, I will not do a Prim/Rory pairing. And vice versa. So make up your mind people! I have a really hard time coming up with pairings, since I don't want to disappoint you. Please bare with me, I have some really hard decisions to make!
And now onto the story!
Glimmer POV
I look over at Mother as she finished the letter, my as pale as a ghost. My Mother doesn't look much better.
"A-Are we going t-to leave?" My voice is hoarse, and I can't even recognize it.
"I don't know" My Mother's voice sounds hollow and old. She closes the letter and is about to place it back into the envelope. As she putting it in, she pauses.
"There's another piece of paper in here" She grabs it out and unfolds it.
"What does it say?" I ask as I stand up and crouch beside her. She opens it up and reads the paper out loud.
Dear Diamonde,
In this second letter is where the directions to get into 12 and get ready for the trip are located.
The plan is as follows:
1. Pack survival items, clothes, food and water. These things are the ONLY things to pack!(Do not order survival items as it may draw attention.
2. Take the earliest train to District 11, not 12
3. At the train station will be a man, Medium height, ash blonde hair, stocky, and dirty. He will be the only one there with a wagon. Get into it, and he will take into the woods outside of District 12
You must follow these directions and leave no later than the 6th(Wednesday), or else you won't make it. We won't long for you, so please hurry.

As mother finishes reading the second letter, it begins to slowly disintegrate. We watch silently until it is just a pile of dust laying on Mother's gown. She reaches into the envelope and carries out thin little flakes of what used to be the most important letter that my Mother has ever received.
"Gather your brother and sister, tell them that a family meeting is in order and it is urgent" She says harshly as she stands up. I stand up as well and begin to make my way past her when she reaches out and grabs my forearm.
"What day is it?" She say quietly. I have just now noticed how different and distressed she looks. Her face looks older and hollow. Her blonde hair looks thin, wispy and silver. Her eyes are pale bond ghostly. I've never seen her like this, she must be very distressed.
"Wednesday, Mother. Wednesday" I look her in the eye and she seems to falter a bit.
"Go, child. Hurry" With that I bolt through the sitting room and up our marble staircase that leads to the second story of our mansion.
After running down various hallways and through rooms I finally make it to where my siblings bedrooms are located, as well as mine. I don't bother to knock on my brother's room and shove open the door. I stand in the doorway and look around for my 'beloved' brother. His quarters are huge, as are mine. The doorway is on a landing, along with mass mall kitchenette and bar. Three steps lead down to the main level where his living area is. A large, leather, L shaped couch is placed in front of his large plasma T.V. A dining room is off of the living room, although he rarely uses it. Lots of other various furniture and knick-knacks are placed around the large from, but there are so many of them that I shan't even try to describe them for you.
Gloss is sitting lazily across he couch, flipping through various Capitol channels. He doesn't bother to acknowledge my presence, but stands up and walks towards the bar.
"Mother has called for a family meeting, she says it is urgent" He glances over at my direction with a questioning smirk
"Mother has not called for a meeting for ages, why has she decided to have one now?" He says bored as he pours himself a drink.
"She will explain to all of us once you come down, although I already know the reason" I say as I start to get agitated
"Really now? Since when do you run errands for Mother? I always thought you wanted to rip each others throats out" He sneers as he takes a gulp of his drink
"I have decided that this may be a proper time to set aside our differences" I avoid his gaze as I say this
"Well, since you are obviously avoiding answering my questions, I may as well go to the family meeting, where Mother will be happy to answer all my questions. Since, I am the favourite" He walks past me with glass in his hand. I hate talking to my brother, he annoys me so.
I step into the hallway and watch Gloss walk down the hallway and turn the corner. I spin around and am scared out of my wits when I see my sister standing not a meter away.
"Goodness, Cashmere! You scared me, what are you doing here?" I ask as I hold my hand over my heart
"I live here don't I?" She says drawly. I notice that she is wearing a very fancy outfit, a white silk toga, embroidered with gold. She has silver pumps, adorned with crystals, and is wearing a gorgeous crystal necklace. Her hair is in unnatural waves, but looks absolutely astonishing framing her face. Her eyelids are painted with light blue eyeshadow and eyeliner. Her mascara makes her look sexy and her plump red lips stand out from her pale outfit.
"Yes, darling sister" I say as she takes step towards me, closing up the small space before us.
"I heard your conversation with Gloss, why has Mother called for a meeting? It obviously must be important, if you are fetching your siblings" She accuses
"If you want to know why Mother has called for a meeting, why don't you go? I will not be telling you, it is not my place to" I spit. I expect her slap me, but she just laughs.
"You've turned weak! I do not understand how I could be so foolish to believe that you actually despised her! You are such a child!" She snarls. Her eyes dare me to say something, but I am so mad and embarrassed that I slap with as much force as possible. She stumbles back a few feet, bewilderment covering her face.
I spin on my heels and make my way through my house.
Okay so this sucked, I know! I will not be updating ANY of my stories for a while of frequently, since my computer is broken and doesn't work any more. I hope to get a new one soon, but don't be expecting a new chapter any time soon. I was really upset with the amount of reviews for the last chapter, and I did not feel like writing another chapter soon, so that's why this chapter was delayed(and horrible.)
I recently posted a new story called, Just Another Day. It is a Smurf story, but is not very complicated and is just a fun story! Please check it out and review!
I know some characters are OOC, but I hope to change SOME of that! A few will stay OOC but others; Mrs. Mellark, Glimmer, Katniss, will hopefully be changed. Please review!
