Like I said last week I don't own much of this. Basically everything except the general idea belongs to other people. Lol.
I found my pendrive! (obviously)
Breeze's point of view:
I made my way onto the stage slowly, in a trance like state. Everyone's eyes followed me slowly as I got to the stage and I locked eyes with Whisper. He looked back at me, pain evident even this far away. He knew the same thing as me. One of us was going to die, maybe both of us. To their credit Mayor Trells and Effie Trinket looked horrified as well. A small tear leaked from Effie's eye.
'Well, our two Tributes!' Trells announced and everyone started to holler at him.
'You can't put siblings against each other!' They cried. 'This is sick, wrong!' They yelled, different voices peaking through. Wow, District 12 really has got rebellious. Katniss came over to me and slipped her hand into mine, hugging me quickly.
'It'll be okay. You can find a way out of this,' she assured me, but we both knew in our hearts there would be no happy ending. I nodded numbly and she let go of me as two Peacekeepers came onto the stage. One took me and the other took Whisper, leading us off the stage in opposite directions. As we passed each other Whisper held a fist out to me and I knocked mine against his. It was a simple gesture, common among anyone, but Whisper had always used it to ask if I was okay. My returning fist meant I was.
Tears sprang to myself and the Peacekeeper put me into a plush room. Time for the visitors. Gale came in first, balancing Echo on his hip.
'Storm is talking to Whisper and we'll swap over,' Gale told me and I could see the tears forming in his eyes.
'Don't worry, Gale. I can do this. I'll come back and so will Whisper. I'm not sure how it'll work but it will, I promise,' I swore and the tears leaked over his eyes. It felt strange, a petite twelve year old comforting a big burly nineteen year old. He hugged me tightly and Echo grabbed fistfuls of my hair, sobbing as well. Gale pulled back eventually and pressed something into my hand. I looked down and saw that it was the ring my father had given my mother when they got engaged. Our mother gave it to Gale to give to his fiancée. Now he was giving it to me to take into the Games. A few tears leaked over my eyes as well and I hugged him again.
'Thank you, Gale. I love you,' I told him and he nodded, hugging me back.
'Love you too, Breeze,' he replied and the Peacekeeper entered the room.
'Times up,' he said gruffly and led Gale and Echo out. Storm walked in.
'Breeze,' he whispered, sitting down next to me and stroking my hair softly. 'Be a good girl, look after him,' Storm made me promise. I nodded and hugged him tightly.
'I will, I promise. I will do everything I can to look after him,' I promised and Storm nodded.
'Don't get yourself killed for him. You can do this, I know you can, just see if you can bring him home too,' Storm pressed. I got the idea, think about yourself first, then take care of him. The Peacekeeper entered the room all too soon and led Storm out. Katniss entered next and I was surprised they let her in, normally she would meet us at the train.
'Hey, sweetie,' she said quietly.
'Hey, Katniss,' I replied. She smiled at me and sat down next to me on the plush velvet sofa.
'They're fighting your case. Nobody except the Capitol wants to see brother and sister fight each other. Every single district is fighting, not just ours, and you've got quite a lot of the Capitol on your side as well. The problem is we have to decide who goes into the games if they do allow a redraw. One of you will still have to go in,' Katniss explained and I nodded numbly. She was trying to sound hopeful but her eyes betrayed how little she actually believed.
'I'll go. I'm better prepared for this than Whisper. He doesn't poses the hunting, fighting or survival skills that I do. If he goes in the chances he will survive are slim. If I go in, although they are still small, then the odds of me surviving are still greater,' I replied and Katniss hugged me tightly.
'Your so brave,' she whispered and the Peacekeeper entered the room, taking Katniss out. Peeta walked in and he grinned at me.
'How's my girl holding up?' He asked and I shrugged.
'Pretty good actually,' I said with a shrug and he smiled at me.
'That's my girl. Katniss and I have decided that she won't be the only one to help prepare you, we're going to share, same with Whisper,' Peeta told me and I nodded my head.
'Thanks. You need to focus on Whisper more than me though. Do you know if we both have to go in though?' I asked and Peeta shook his head.
'Not as of yet,' Peeta said sadly. 'Katniss is trying to look positive but to be honest I don't think there's much hope,' he added regretfully. I nodded, I knew there was a very slim chance of the rules being changed.
'I don't think there's much hope either. I could see it in Katniss's eyes,' I told him. Peeta chuckled.
'Yes, Katniss's eyes are very expressive,' he chuckled. I smiled and the Peacekeeper entered.
'Time's up. That was your last visitor,' the Peacekeeper informed me and Peeta hugged me one last time before leaving. I took a deep breath and smoothed out the red fabric that had wrinkled slightly. 'Come on, time to get you to the train station,' the Peacekeeper said again. He was starting to get on my nerves.
'I know, I'm not incompetent,' I snapped. The guy chuckled.
'Never said you were, standard procedure,' he informed me, grabbing my arm gently, just above the elbow, and pulling me out of the room. It was a short walk to the train station and when we got there Katniss, Peeta and Effie were awaiting us. I caught Peeta's eye and he shook his head. Whisper was still competing.
Whisper arrived shortly after us and the Peacekeepers let us both go. I ran straight to Whisper and hugged him tightly. Whisper hugged me, stroking my hair softly.
'Sssh, it'll be okay Breeze,' he assured me. I could feel the camera's zooming in on our faces and I was sure the Capitol would be having a right laugh, seeing our embrace and knowing that at least one of us would die.
Wow, this chapter is even shorter than the last one. It's only two pages long! Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this. I'm mainly directing this at Eleanor seeing as she's the only one who reviewed despite the fact that she claimed her Hunger Games ff's got more reviews than her Twilight ones. Eleanor I have one word for you. Lies!
I'm in Kenya for the next two weeks so I can't update or write. Sorry!
Like it? Love it? Hate it? Let me know, R&R ;)
Smiles! Xoxo!!!
