Chapter Twenty Four:

I don't own the Hunger Games.

Look what you have it's shining like fool's gold

Dogs are fighting and shaking what you hold

Take a load off

And turn the light off

Close your eyes ans rewind

It's better when you like what you're leaving out

~Aqua's POV~

"But the problem is that… Well… We can't…" I say.

"Oh. Right."

"Just read off of the card and pretend that there isn't an unconscious person behind us."

"Okay, it'll be hard though… Considering there's an unconscious person behind us."

"Just read the card."

"Fine."

So on that note, we read the card. It's not like anyone is listening, or even if they were, we wouldn't be able to be heard over the screaming crowd. It's quite awkward, actually. We read quickly, making sure that there was no reason to leave here any later than we had to. But since we're finished already…

I'm about to start cursing at the people of the District, but Parker must notice the fire in my eyes, and gives me a look that seems to say, 'No Aqua, don't make any more people despise you.' Since Parker usually is right about these things, I stop. But since I won't go down without a fight, or at least, another fight, I literally walk over Katniss' immobile body on the way to the train. One District down, eleven more to go. Twelve actually, if you're counting the Capitol.

So I told some people the rest of the Districts would just be little snippets. Here you go:

· District Eleven- didn't seem very happy, obviously, but weren't mad enough to riot. Neither Aqua nor Parker killed Sophia, though Rosie killed Alex. The large families of the two of them looked pretty angry though.

· District Ten- same as Eleven, mostly. Constance's family was very solemn, and by the looks of it, Constance had provided for her younger siblings. Asher's seemed to hate Aqua for one obvious reason.

· District Nine- one of the worst for Aqua, as she killed both Rayvenn and Bob. Rayvenn though, barely had a family, and Bob's didn't seem extremely disappointed by their loss, though there was definitely something they weren't showing.

· District Eight- looked as if they may start a riot. Sam was a somewhat of a rebel who actually had a chance of winning, though Edward didn't. Sam's little sister was crying the entire time. Parker had killed both, which didn't help.

· District Seven- Chuck's family clearly wanted their revenge on Aqua, which she could definitely understand, considering that she had been in the exact same position, standing on the pedestal, at one point in her life. Karlie's family was angry as well.

· District Six- Maya was also a tribute that could've won, so the people of her District were irate that she didn't. Blaze's family was very saddened, but Aqua was sure that they knew her didn't have a chance of winning.

· District Five- not a big deal. Neither of their tributes could've won, but Aqua did kill Rayn, who was the first death of the Games. Victoria didn't even die at the hands of a Career, so her family wasn't as mad as a lot of the others.

· District Four- a breath of fresh air for Aqua and Parker. Even they were distraught about Jack and Rosie's deaths. The District seemed happy that Aqua and Parker won, but her still troubled that their tributes didn't.

· District Three- a little bit awkward for Aqua and Parker. The District wasn't as livid as a lot of the others, but they surely weren't throwing a party. Tonya's family looked thankful for them for letting herbe part of their alliance, but Edison's weren't at all overjoyed.

· District One- even happier than Four. The citizens shouted their support, and Stingra and Hunter's families smiled their congratulations. Though of course they would've preferred seeing Stingra and Hunter, they were happy for Aqua and Parker.

Past you are the truths you failed to mention

So that's it. No joke. I was bored. Next chapter will be at the Capitol where they have the feast/party thingy. Much fun.
