DISCLAIMER... SADLY I DON'T OWN THE HUNGER GAMES :(
sorry for any spelling mistakes :) im just a hopless speller! please review.
This was it. We were in the square mum and dad had to separate from me. Mum gave me lots of hugs and never really let go of me the whole way there. Dad just looks at me as if he can keep me safe from danger with just that stare or that if he looks away I'll disappear. They were forced to let go though when it was time for reaping to begin. Being Victors mum and dad were supposed to be mentors but somehow they got out of it I don't know how the subject never really came up at home.
I haven't really been paying attention while standing by Jacks side in the boys section that has been roped off but already Lucinda Brightson the new escort after Effie trinket got moved up to another district is drawing a girl tribute. I concentrate on her silly green wig as the name is drawn out.
"Daisy Hazmore" she read out. I let out a breath. I had seen this girl many times but hadn't talked to her personally she was very short shorter than me even though she is 3 years older. Daisy appears very calm but I can see her tremble from here. There is a short round of forced applause as Lucinda grabbed the paper with the boys name on it. Please don't be me I think over and over even though I know it just possibly can't be because that would be too much of a coincidence .
"Caden Malark" my mind froze in surprise and fear, no I think it can't be me there must me some kind of mistake.
"Caden?" She called again. It was me I think, no mistake. I take a couple of steps forward the stage seemed to swell in size before me. I heard screaming and realized my mother was trying desperately to reach me trying to get through the peace keapers that were in her way. I caught the look on my father's face and it was so painful it made me want to run into his arms we're I knew I would be safe.
I took my place next to Daisy while my mother was screeching at a considerably older Haymitch who was drunk and staring at me dumbstruck.
"Keep him alive Haymitch, I don't care what you have to do just keep him alive, if you come back without him I swear I will"- My mum broke down into sobs and it was all I could do to stay on this stage and not run to her and comfort her

I was led into the Justus building where I took several deep breaths I could hear my mother on the other side practically trying to break down the door to get to me. Once she was in she ran into my arms holding me there for the whole time, her body was shaking. I breathed in her smell thinking it might be the last time I ever saw her. Just before the peace keeper came she pressed something into my hand and whispered into my ear
"I'm sorry" Her voice burned with pain regret and anger. Anger at what, Me, The capitol, herself? I whispered back that I loved her and it would be alright before they ripped us apart forever.
The next person through the doors was my dad, I don't know why they didn't come together but it didn't matter he was here now.
"Dad" I breathed my voice shook, but I was determined to keep in together. He hugged me fiercely for I moment whispering reassurances then let me go and his eyes went dead he handed me some homemade cookies they were still warm. Without another word he left it might have been my imagination but I think I heard him curse under his breath.
