Annie Pov

I just lost my family

almost every single one

I look over to Thorn and Rye who are both sitting in tears

Corrie won the games

he found Caris and killed her when she wasn't ready

Rye Pov

"uh I need to go home" Itry to say as I feel I just came back to reality and I need to get to my parents and Gabi

"the last train leaves in 10 minutes" aunt annie says grabbing her stuff

we all get our stuff and run the the train station

Aunt Annie gets the train to wait while we get on

we have to head to the capitol first though

I still cant believe they are dead

I knew it was coming but it hurts

its hurts so fucking much

we get to district 2

"well goodbye Rye, wish me luck in the hell hole guess I wont be able to see sunlight again" she laughs while crying

she is just about to head out the train door

"Wait Thorn!" she stops and turns around

"come home with us, we all love Mahic for saving Noah and willows life, you will be very welcome" I I continue and she smiles and comes and sits back down with aunt annie aswell

when we get to the capitol, people get on with fancy hair and makeup

my eyes are puffy and red and thorn is asleep on my shoulder

they all know who I am and I give the people massive daggers as they look at me since they enjoy the games and watch it

it a good 5/6 hours before we get back to 12

and by this time its about 11pm

people are still up in the square, grieving

I walk over to the justice building where people have already set up memorials for willow and Noah even one for Mahic

there is flowers, candles and pictures of them smilng and being happy

I just cry and cry

I see thorn walk over to Mahics and she smiles as people have found pictures of him and there is one of him and herself

"Rye!" I hear someone shout behind me

I look behind me as does thorn and its gabi

she runs and gives me hug

I cant bear to even think how she feels

loosing all her closest friends like that in an instant

" uh Gabi this is Thorn, Mahics sister, and Thorn this is Gabi Willow, Noah and Robbies best friend they all grew up together" I say pulling apart from Gabi

"hello Thorn, your brother did a great job in there" Gabi smiles#

"thankyou Gabi" thorn replys

I see that Aunt Annie has gone and then I realise she has probably at my house

"rights lets go to my house" I say

"ive never been in a victors village before" thorn adds

we walk the rest in silent as people say sorry and that as we pass them

I walk into the house and everyone is around the fire

papa hay is there hugging Aunt Annie, my mum and dad are talking to Noahs parents and Gabis mum is here as well

my mum and dad see me and run and give me a hug

and noahs parents do so aswell to me and Gabi and so does gabis mum

"so uh who is this" my mothers says smiling while wiping her tears

"this is Thorn, Mahic's little sister" I say

"hello mrs mellark, I'm sorry about Willow she was such a wonderful person from what I have heard" thorn says

my mum just gives her a hug

we all sit around the fire and have good chats

but all I could think about was how much better it would be with Willow here or noah or Robbie

I slip away from everyone and go for a walk

I go to the woods where kyle lies

"well kyle, a lot has happened, Willow, Robbie and Noah, they are all gone. they died" I say

I start to tell him everything that has happened like the good old days

I have the group picture from Aunt Annies house in my pocket and I pull it out

I just stare at it

Life is never ever going to be the sam

ever.
