The Final Eight Interviews, Part Three: Districts 10 & 11

Sisco Perry's POV

"Welcome to District Ten, Panem! I'm here to interview Kaeit Grey's family and friends! So, whatd'ya say? Shall I introduce her parents? Alright, here's 42 year old Starling Grey, and 47 year old Harris Grey!"

"Hello, Sisco," Starling says pleasantly.

"Thanks for having us," says Harris with a smile.

"Thank you for coming. So, how do you think Kaeit will do in the days to come?"

Harris speaks first. "Kaeity's really great. I'm sure she'll figure out a way to survive. After all, she's made it this far, hasn't she?"

"Yes, yes she has. That's why I'm interviewing you. Starling, do you have anything to add?"

"No," she says timidly.

"Okay, well, how do you feel about Kaeit making it this far?"

"We're very surprised indeed," says Starling. "I was sure she'd be dead by now, with so many tributes."

"Yes, I thought that too. It's hard to hope when the odds are so against your favor," says Harris.

"I'm surprised too. Especially with the number of youngsters in the final eight! Three thirteen year olds and a fourteen year old! It's amazing!"

"Yes, it certainly is," says Harris.

"Well, that's all the time we have for these two. Next up is Olive Grey, Kaeit's 19 year old sister!"

"Hi, Sisco," she says.

"Why hello, Olive. So, how did you feel when Kaeit was reaped?"

"Oh... um... distraught would be the best word to describe it, I guess. But when someone you love has been reaped, you're overcome with all sorts off emotions."

"But, being sisters, I'm sure you two fought 24/7, right?"

"Of course! But what does that have to do with anything? She's still my sister, and I love her no matter what."

"Exactly. And how did you feel when Kaeit made it to the final eight?"

"I can't describe it. I was so happy. I still am. I think she can win. No, I know she can win. If she's made it this far, I'm sure she has what it takes to make it to the end."

"That's wonderful. Well, that's all the time we have. I'll be back soon in District Eleven to find out about Amaryllis Field! Bye!"

"Well, this is District Eleven, our final destination. I'm here for the interviews of Amaryllis Field's family and friends! Please welcome to the stage 18 year old Maize Field, Amaryllis' husband!"

"Hi."

"Hello, Maize. So, how are you feeling about Amaryllis in the final eight?"

"My mind is blown. Her strength, intelligence, and kindness toward her allies has surprised me greatly. I was afraid she'd have a mental breakdown in the arena, you know, with the pregnancy and all, but she's held her ground. I wouldn't be surprised at all if she won."

"I wouldn't either. What has it been like for you, watching your wife go into the arena when she's that far along with twins?"

"Torture. But I've managed, and so has she. I just hope I can see her again and meet my baby girls."

"That would be great. Now, please welcome 48 year old Abbylin Rocke, Amaryllis' mother! How do you feel about Amaryllis making it this far?"

"Same as Maize, obviously blown away. I'm so proud of her and can't wait to see if she wins."

"None of us can. What would you do if she won?"

"The first thing I'd do is jump up and down and scream, probably."

"Hehe, that's lovely. Next up is Amaryllis' siblings. 22 year old Thorn, 16 year old Blush, 14 year olds Lili and Rose, and 12 year old Dawn. What are all your thoughts on Amaryllis' performance in the Games?"

"We are so pleased and so impressed," says Thorn. The rest agree.

"Do you think she's done well?"

"Of course! She's in the final eight! Hello!" says Blush. The others smile and nod.

"If she makes it back, what do you want to name the babies?"

"Hope," says Rose.

"And Miracle," says Lili. The others murmur agreement.

"If she doesn't win, who do you want to win?"

"Genevive, definitely. She's her only remaining ally and has helped her through so much." Again, everyone nods.

"Well, thanks, guys! Last up, but not least, is Amaryllis' friend, 19 year old Hemp Willow! So, Hemp, are you excited for Amaryllis?"

"Everyone in the District is excited! But, of course, I'm one of those more excited people in the District, since I know Am personally."

"And do you agree that Genevive would be a good person to win if Amaryllis doesn't?"

"Definitely."

"That's great. Well, that wraps up our interviews for the friends and family of the final eight! Tune in soon to see the Victor's interview! See you then! Bye!"
