"Peeta!" I cry.
I look towards Effie and see that she has managed to spill her water all over the table, but she doesn't seem to notice.
"Katniss," she says getting up, water has drenched the bottom half of her jumpsuit making her look like she has - "come with me."
She grabs my arm firmly and leads me out of the cafeteria and towards the elevators. The guards try to stop her but she dismisses them with a swish of her hand "Not now."
With Effie shooing everybody in our path, we make it down to HQ in record time. Before we reach the door, a siren blares through the speakers above us. "This is a code red emergency evacuation. This is not a drill. This is not a drill. Everybody please make it down to the emergency bunker."
Plutarch opens the door and before Effie gets a word in he says, "I know," turning towards me he says in a calm voice, "we all saw the broadcast. Katniss, I need you to get down to safety in the bunker okay?"
He points towards the swarm of people heading down the stairs. I follow them down quickly.
In the bunker I rapidly get to work looking for my mother and Prim. They should have been evacuated here early as they work in the hospital. I pass Libby who screams to me that she has got Aiden. Good, one less thing . . .
"Mom! Prim!" I shout.
"Katniss!" I hear and I see my mother standing worriedly next to a bunk bed.
"Where's Prim?" I shout over the noise of the people.
"She's not with me!" I barely hear her response over the tumult of the crowd.
"She should be here!" In my muddled mind I somehow manage to put two and two together and -
"Shit."
Hey guys! Sorry for the short update but I am really busy with school right now. *Sigh* Anyways, update coming ASAP. Please feel free to leave constructive criticism. I'm always looking for suggestions on how I can improve.
Thanks!
