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?
I jolt awake with a start. Today is the second day of the victory tour. District 10. I spoke to the girl tribute Alice during training. She wanted to make an alliance with me but she was killed in the bloodbath. The boy was called Aron and he had a crippled leg. He was killed on the 8th day. I asked Gideon what District 10 Is like and he said it is lots of open green hills filled with animals on one sides, and factories, barns and houses on the other. Emily butts in and says the majority of it is farmland. We are due to arrive at 2:30 so at 2:00 Cailynn pulls me into my room to make me put on my outfit. The prep team pull my hair to either side and into fishttail plaits. They apply light makeup and Cailynn gives me a dress bag. Inside there is some meaningless clothes that I don't notice. Finally the train pulls into the station. We don't get time to even breathe before we are whisked into the justice building. But I swear that as we go inside I hear gunshot s and shouting.
We walk out onto the stage as the clock strikes three. For Alice, there is old man who must be her grandfather, her mum, her dad and two younger children, a boy who looks about 4 and a girl who is about 10. They are all crying except for the little girl. She is glaring at us in anger.
On Aron's side, there are 3 people. As lady who must be his mum, and she is holding a baby wrapped in pink blankets. A little boy stands next to her. Tears are rolling down his cheeks.
Peers begins talking about the bravery of the tributes and how we must remember to thank the Capitol. I notice that this time he is reading off the cards. Katniss says a few lines about the generosity of the Capitol bringing us all together today. I say my few lines about how grateful we are to them and to the Capitol and finish with 'Panem today, Panem tomorrow, Panem forever'. Katniss then looks to me. I said I wanted to say a few words about Alice. They step back and I take the Mic.
"I just wanted to say thank to you Alice -and Aron's- family because I worked with both of them for a while in training and -just thank you". I don't have a way with words like peeta or the ability to speak from the heart like katniss. I can't write things out. I have to just make them up on the spot.
As soon as I step back I know it was a bad idea to talk. The mayor is just taking over. But I am focused on the little girl- on Alice's little sister. She is smiling. They mayor hands us our flowers. She looks at her mum, who shakes her head. We are giving our plaque. Final applause. We are on the way back inside when I hear it.
The four note song.
Rues mockingjay song.
She sings it again, loud and clear over the silent crowd. She kisses the three fingers on her left hand and lifts then up. And then she turns and runs.
The peacekeepers chase her out of the square. I keep watching her until she reaches the fence of a field. She makes her way towards the station. By the station, she ducks under the fence surrounding the district and begins sprinting. Opposite to the way we are going. Towards district 11. Then 12. And then into the wilderness. Surely as a ten year old she won't get away.
Her family have all disappeared, and half of the people in the square when I am finally dragged inside.
The party at district 10 Is uneventful. They serve some type of meat with vegetables. Katniss and Peeta get caught several times trying to sneak away. I dance with citizens. At 1:00 we are taken back to the train where I collapse on my bed.
The next few days in districts 9, 8, and 7 are Uneventful. The district's are small and quiet and they all blend into one. I do spend a lot of time talking to the female victor of 7 Johanna. Nothing like what we witnessed in 10 or 11 happen, but there is small things. A mockingjay painted on a wall in the square. Angry people. Four note whisked, quietly carried through the crowd. People smiling at us. People yelling and glaring at us. People come up to me during dinners, hug me, tell me I inspired them. More four note songs. People aren't following what the peacekeepers tell them. All the time we get reports of shootings arrests in the outer districts.
At the end of day 6 of the victory tour, I stare and watch the lights of district 6 get closer and closer. This is the closest I've been to home since the start of the tour. We will miss my district till the end, but I suddenly want to leap off the train and to my home. I sigh and go away from the Window. I pull a silk nightmares out of the closet and quickly get changed. I curl up between the soft sheets and I am asleep in minutes.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter.
