Primrose Everdeen The HG in Prim's POV

by BeckayJames

Katniss Everdeen. Peeta Mellark. That's all I hear out on the streets, no more than a fearful glance, maybe a hopeful one on occasion. Whispering all around town. The star-crossed lovers. One of them saved my life more the once. One of them was supposed to be me.

3. Chapter 3

"Well? Where are you?" Effie's shrill voice brings me out of my shock. Everyone's looking at me. Everyone. Four peacekeepers come over and take me swiftly by the arm. Panic sweeps through me and I try to dig my heels in the ground.

"Katniss! Katniss!" I yelled in vain even though I knew it was no use.

"Prim! Prim! Stop! I volunteer as tribute!" A voice yells. I freeze. Everyone does. District Twelve hasn't had a volunteer in years. Then I recognize the voice. No! Katniss!
"No! Katniss no!" I scream as the peacekeepers escort her up to the stage. She walks with a purpose, sullenly.

"No! No! No! Katniss! No!" I try to run forward but strong arms grab me and pull me back. It's Gale. I fight against him.

"Go ahead Catnip." Gale says with remorse in his voice. '

When she finally got to the stage, I had calmed down enough to get out of Gale's grip. I yanked my body away from him and he let go, giving me a sad look.

"What's your name darling?" Effie says in an excited voice.

"Katniss Everdeen." She says in a dead voice.

"Well, I bet my buttons that was your sister! Well, give it up for Katniss Everdeen!" No one claps, just kisses three fingers and puts them in the air. It's our tribute sign.

"Now for the boys." Effie shuffles over to the bowl and plucks one out.

"Peeta Mellark!" A boy with blonde hair and blue eyes walks out into the crowd. He's pretty attractive, well built, he should get sponsors pretty easily.

He means nothing to me, but Katniss's eyes got bigger than saucers. I wonder where she knows him from. School maybe? I don't know.

"This years tributes, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark!"

"This years tributes, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark!"

Eight Peacekeepers run up and escort them to the Justice building. My mother and Gale grab my hand and follow shortly after.

"Where are we going?" I managed to get out.
"TO say goodbye to your sister." Gale explains. I can feel my throat tightening up. Goodbye. Why does it have to be goodbye? Why?

When we get there, I run straight into Katniss's arms.

"You can't go Katniss! You can't!" I sob as she holds. me.

"I have to Prim. I have to. Take care."
"Katniss?" I say, hoping I won't cry.

"Yes Prim?"
"Try to win...try your best to come home please."
"I will."
"I love you."

And that's the last I saw of my sister.
