Imagine this. Foxface didn't eat the berries laid out by peeta. She made it to the final 4. Cato died, and She became the final 3 with Katniss and Peeta. Peeta too weak to fight, Katniss unwilling, and Foxface too weak, what would happen to the games?
''Finch, UP UP UP! It's a big today''.
I groan and roll out of bed. Today is the first stop of the victory tour- District 11. The home of Katniss' Ally Rue, and thresh, who spared her Life in the games. Today will be hard for all of us.
I go down to breakfast and see Gideon nursing a sore head and a mug of coffee. Emily is yawning over a plate of toast. Joy is once again the only one awake and is applying eye shadow as I sit down. She begins to tell me the plans of the day as I eat some muffins and some hot chocolate.
''We arrive in 11 at 1:30. The speech begins at 2. Then you will have 2 and a half hours to prepare for the feast. Be finished eating by 6:00 to make sure you have a long time to dance with prestigious people such as the mayor of District 11 and the manager of the harvest. Make sure you dance with the people of 11 too. Be done by 12:30, ready to board the train to be in District 10 tommorow''.
Gideon nods as he yawns. Joy pulls me away from the table and back into my room, where I find that my prep team and my stylist Cailynn. They dress me in a simple white dress with an orange headband the colour of autumn leaves. Black Leather sandals complete the look. My prep team arrange my hair and apply make up. They push me towards the train door. It opens onto a small, dark train station. 6 peacekeepers great me and push me into a car. It drives slowly into the city centre. Joy hands me the cards and tells me that I must stick to the cards. The door the cars slide open and I am escorted into the Justice building by more peacekeepers.
Katniss and Peeta are standing awkwardly in the lobby with their mentor Haymitch and escort Effie. Katniss comes over and hugs me and Peeta nods his head. His hands are shaking as he holds the cards. The mayor begins to introduce us and the big oak doors creak open. My feet move on their own as we go onto the stage.
There's loud applause, but none of the other responses we got in the Capitol. We walk across the shaded verandah until the roof runs out and we're standing at the top of a big flight of marble stairs in the glaring sun. I see the buildings on the square have been hung with banners that help cover them up. It's packed with people, but just a fraction of the number who live here.
There are two platforms beneath the stage for the families of the fallen tributes. For Thresh, a hunched over old women and a tall muscular girl who must be his sister. On Rues, her parents, five younger sibling who all resemble her. Big brown eyes, slight builds. They're faces are fresh with sorrow.
The mayor makes a speech in our honour. Three little girls in white dresses present us with flowers. Peeta says his part. Katniss says something. I say my part and then Peeta begins to say something in his winning style about the tributes. And then he hesitates before adding something that probably wasn't written on the card. "It can in no way replace your losses, but as a token of our thanks we'd like for each of the tributes' families from District Eleven to receive one month of our winnings every year for the duration of our lives." The crowd is silent for a moment before erupting into whispers. The families stare at us in shock. This might not be legal, but it will change the lives of the families, just as they were changed when Thresh and Rue were lost.
Katniss kisses Peeta and then the mayor presents us with plaques so large that me and Katniss have to put down our flowers. The mayor dismissed us but as we are walking back in Katniss goes back to the front of the stage. ''Wait! Wait please!'' she calls.
"I want to give my thanks to the tributes of District Eleven. "I only ever spoke to Thresh one time. Just long enough for him to spare my life. I didn't know him, but I always respected him. For his power. For his refusal to play the Games on anyone's terms but his own. The Careers wanted him to team up with them from the beginning, but he wouldn't do it. I respected him for that."
The old women on Threshs side smiles. The crowd is deadly silent, hanging onto every word.
"But I feel as if I did know Rue, and she'll always be with me. Everything beautiful brings her to mind. I see her in the yellow flowers that grow in the Meadow by my house. I see her in the mockingjays that sing in the trees. But most of all, I see her in my sister, Prim. Thank you for your children." She raises her chin to address the crowd ''And thank you all for the bread."
What happens next is so sudden but so coordinated it must have been planned. An old man plays rue's four note mockingjay whistle. Every person in the crowd presses the three middle fingers of their left hand against their lips and extends them to us. The last goodbye Katniss gave to Rue. The sign of District 12.
We are finally pushed off the stage. In the rush of the moment, I realise I left my flowers on the stage. I tell Katniss that she also left hers and we go back out together. They are pulling the man up who whistled onto the stage. Forcing him to his knees.
And putting a bullet Through his head.
Sorry for the slow update guys. Hope this was worth the wait. Reviews?-Skywitch xo
