Katniss' P.O.V
I stare at the stage where our districts escort stands. The moment playing over and over in my mind and just as it takes full impact I scream and fall to my knees realising what has just happened. Prim's going into the games. I can hear Madge trying to urge me stand up but her words aren't getting through to me. I begin to hold my hands on my head and hold myself close to the ground. A few moments later I feel strong arms lift me from the ground and before I know it I'm being carried off somewhere but I don't bother to lift my head from my hands.
I can hear Prim's soothing voice saying my name and i quickly snap up to a sitting position and quickly observe my surroundings like the hunter I am. I catch sight of Prim sat in front of me and my mother exiting through the door across the room. I quickly snap my head back to Prim but I'm frozen and i can't move, but when the moments come flooding back I break down and Prim wrap's her small healers arms around me. After all these years of me comforting my little sister the roles seemed have switched at the time when I need to be strong for her most.
At the thought I try to pull myself together and begin to try and help my poor innocent little sister stay strong but when i try to speak my voice breaks and I feel so weak. I try to tell her about hunting and what to do in the Arena but the thought is just to depressing to be telling her this. Eventually Prim talks too and she says is,"I'll be ok". Her voice breaks in the middle of her sentence and we spend the rest of time we have left.
Prim' P.O.V
After what seems like no time at all a peacekeeper comes in and drags my sister from my grasp. We're both screaming for each other but a peacekeeper's holding me back and once I am released I collapse onto the coach and curl myself up into a ball and weep just hoping that my sister will come through that door to take me home but she doesn't. I didn't think anyone else would come to see me but for the third time I ear the door open. I wait for a little while until I feel a gentle hand on my head stroking my hair and I slowly lift my head to see Madge sat next to me and I throw myself into her arm's. She whisper's soothing words and once I've calmed down I lift my head from her chest and look her in the eyes. Her face is tear stained and her eyes look puffy.
She wipes my eyes and begins to speak, her voice sounds broken but i can tell she's trying to stay strong for me. "I want you to take this as your token", she says as she unclips a broach from her dress. "A mockingjay?" is all I can say in reply. After a few moments she whispers, "Yes they're strong...like you". A small smile creeps onto my lips and I hug her and whisper,"Thankyou Madge...for everything". We stay embraced for the time we have left and the same peacekeeper as before enters the room and tells us that our time is up. Madge lets go off me and walks away but just before exiting she stops and nods towards me and I do the same in reply.
Rory' P.O.V
Katniss looks at me with saddened eyes as she enters the room and Gale leaves and i can see that they share a look but she ignores it. When she finally reaches me I jump up into her arms and we stay there for a while before Katniss speaks. "Why did you do it?"she asks an I pull away from her,"because I love her." And at that a tear rolls down her cheak and I wipe it away and hold her in my arms as she breaks down. "I'll make sure she comes home", I try to reassure her but my voice breaks mid-sentence. "I know you will", Is all she manages to say but I can hear the regret in her voice, like it was her fault.
