Heyo, another chapter up. This one might get messed up because I have a headache. Like majorly D: Now of all times, I hate it when I get sick for the PSSA's because I don't want to have to make it up. Okay, I'm gonna quit with the jabber and get on with the story.
Haymitch's POV
Great, I can't think of where we are supposed to go. In the Capitol of all places to get lost. Running around in a stupid city where people think they are gems. If they love them so much then why don't they go to District 2? I mean really.
"Well, do you remember where the Peacekeepers took you?" Asks Finnick from behind the clump of people. I give him a look as if to say You idiot, not here!
"No, I don't." I say loud enough so he can hear. Some people start to look so I shut my yap. We walk passed bedazzled people until we are out of the train station and onto the streets.
"This is great, so fantastically great!" Katniss yells in annoyance. "Let's vacation while we're at it!"
"Hey, it's no walk in the park for me either sweetheart!" I just notice that I haven't called her that name since I left for this dreaded place. I guess I was more focused on other things that I forgot all about it. Katniss just lets out a small 'huff' and crosses her arms.
"Well can you at least TRY to focus." Gale says just as agitated. I swear, these people are trying to fry my brain… or what's left of it.
"Fine!" I yell and try to think. Nothing, can't remember a thing. So I sit down on the nearest bench and put my head in my wavy hair. I think, remembering anything from a couple of days ago. Nothing, I'm running a blank that seems endless.
"I can't do it!" I say raising my voice. Everyone lets out sighs, some louder than others. (Hmh, Katniss and Peeta.)
"Are we gonna go through this yet AGAIN!" Katniss says smacking her hand against her face.
"Well sorry." I say.
"Well we aren't leaving until you know where we are going." Gale, of all people, says. Everyone agrees and I let out a big groan. How did I get stuck with these people? So I just sit on the bench and think. Still nothing comes to mind. I close my eyes and sit back, thinking. That's all I've ever done, besides drinking.
All of a sudden the blank comes to an end. "I've got it!" I yell in anticipation, then start trekking through the crowd.
"Sabio! Wait!" I hear Finnick yell from somewhere in the crowd, but I don't. I just run to the building while the thought is still fresh in my mind. I turn corners and dodge people so swiftly, I'm surprised I can still do those things. But then I remember I'm younger. As I get closer, there are fewer people to dodge.
"Sabio. Wait up!" I hear Finnick yell from behind again but I'm to busy smiling that I finally found the place that I was desperately looking for. I hear them come up from behind, huffing. I'm surprised because they have better stamina then me. But then I realize that I'm taking big breaths too, but right now, I don't notice.
"Is that the place?" Peeta asks, hands on his knees.
"Yep!" I say enthusiastically. We just stand there, gazing at the building.
"Well, are we gonna go in?" Katniss asks. After all that trouble finding the stupid thing, I kind of don't want to go in.
"Yea-yeah." I stammer. Knock it off Haymitch, you can do it you idiot I scold myself. I just get odd looks and Finnick has to open his mouth.
"Are you sure you're okay with it?" Finnick asks wondering.
"Yes, I'm fine." I snap and he holds up his hands as if to surrender.
"Okay, okay Mr. Snappy."
"Ain't Haymitch supposed to be the sarcastic one?" Peeta asks. I ignore it and walk up to the door.
"Come on." I say and slowly inch the door open. It's exactly how I remember it. It brings in more detail to my brain. Being dragged through the halls and forced into the white room. I look back to the rest to make sure they don't worry. Well… Gale won't worry about me but the rest might. Fortunately, they don't. They just follow me, Finnick carrying his trident.
We walk through the hall, slowly, trying not to attract any attention. If there's anyone here. We come across the door and I pause.
"Open the door." Gale says. I look back at the door and open it. The white room and the bed still in the middle of the room. I hate this room. I look around, searching the area for that bastard.
"Where are you?" I yell, not caring about 'not attracting attention'. Then, towards the white, a portion of the wall opens. The first thing I see is a purple cloak then the Gamemaker, rearing his ugly face.
"I've been waiting for you to come back." He says with a sly grin across his face. I reach into a pocket and finger the knife that I exchanged with my picture when no one was looking.
Yeah not much of a cliffhanger or a long chapter but my head hurts too much to type that long. But forget that, remember to REVIEW!
