"Effie, I've made a terrible mistake," Prim says frantically.

"Prim, what's going on?" Effie asks.

"I thought I could control it, but I couldn't," Prim says before bursting into sobs.

"Prim, I need you to calm down okay?" Effie says grabbing her car keys.

"There's just so much blood," Prim says.

"Look, I'm going to be there as fast as I can. I need you to grab something to put over the wounds, and apply pressure," Effie says.

"Okay," Prim says.

"I have to hang up now, but I promise, I'll there," Effie says.

"Nobody's home, so hurry" Prim says before hanging up.

"Portia, I'm going to be gone for a couple of hours," Effie yells upstairs.

"Be careful!" Portia yells down.

Effie grabs her coat, and speeds her car to the train station. She gets a ticket for the fastest train the Capitol has.

When she gets off of the train, she runs to the Everdeen residence. She bursts inside the house, and calls out Prim's name. She gets no answer. She drops her purse, and starts her search.

She goes through the house calling her name. She runs upstairs, and sees blood leaking from under the door.

She opens the door, and sees Prim passed out on the floor. She throws off her jacket, and gets on the floor. She checks her pulse, and sees that it's not too low. She grabs a towel, and runs it under cold water. She dabs Prim's face with it hoping to rouse her. Prim wipes the water from her face, and groans.

"Prim, honey, it;s Effie. I need you to wake up for me please," Effie says.

Effie rubs the back of her hand against her cheeks. She realizes that she started crying.

"Effie?" Prim says her face scrunched up.

"I'm right here," Effie says.

"I'm so sorry," Prim says.

Effie wraps Prim into an embrace not caring if blood gets on her shirt.

"Please don't ever do that again," Effie says.

Prim nods.

"Okay, let's get you fixed up," Effie says.

She goes downstairs to retrieve her purse, and gets out a first aid kit. She goes up stairs, and sits next to Prim. She cleans her cut, and stitches it up.

"I'll try to come down sometime in the near future to take them out," Effie says.

Prim gives Effie a hug, and Effie returns it.

"I need to get cleaned up, you too," Effie says looking at their bloodstained clothing.

Prim leaves to get cleaned up, and Effie cleans up the blood on the floor. Prim then comes back with one of her Katniss' dresses.

"You need a fresh change of clothes too," Prim says.

"I guess I do," Effie replies.

Effie cleans herself up, and puts on the dress. Effie rids herself of her makeup and wig not seeing the point in having it on anymore. Effie goes downstairs, and Prim looks at her.

"Effie, you look...beautiful," Prim says in awe.

"Thank you Prim," Effie says.

The door opens, and there is a pause.

"Prim, who is this?" Katniss asks.

"Am I that unrecognizable?" Effie questions.

"Effie, I'm sorry...you look...wow," Katniss says.


As Effie promised, she went back to Twelve to take out Prim's stitches.

"Can I go to the capitol with you?" Prim asks.

"If that's okay with your mother," Effie says.

"I'm fine with that, but she has to be home within the next two days," Lilian says.

"I will have her back by then," Effie says.

"I'll go get my clothes," Prim says.
