Hey decided to do another update since I'm getting a good bit of positive response. :)
This is in third person- no katniss pov
Chapter 16
The following week goes by fast and the winter weather begins. This is the worst time for the district because once the winter frost come in people become ill, starve and die.
A heavy storm hits the district, shops close due to the extreme weather conditions, people stay home and try their best to stay warm.
Katniss looks out the kitchen window and decides to head to the hob to see if its open to get herbs for her mother. The wind, rain and snow look like its easing so Katniss decides to chance it.
She puts on her jacket and boots and hurries out into the storm towards the hob.
She rubs her hands together to try stay warm but she doesn't see the point since its not doing any good.
When she walks into the hob she notices only a few people have stalls up today and by the looks of it they all look freezing and they're about to pack up.
She walks over to Marley, an old woman who sells herbs she can't get in the woods. She pays for the herbs and picks up a loaf of bread.
When she walks to the hob door she sees the storm has picked up and is worse then before. They lock the door of the hob and people who live near the hob have a better chance with the storm whereas Katniss worries.
She decides she better not wait around and makes a run for it.
She returns home, taking her an extra twenty minutes.
She hurries to her room and changes her clothes.
Her sister comes up stairs to give her dinner later.
"Your very pale, where you outside?"Prim says.
"Yes, went to the hob"Katniss says. Prim frowns.
"Well get into bed and try warm up"She says. Katniss nods.
During the night Prim gets into bed with her mother because she was getting frightened over the storm leaving Katniss with the bed to herself.
In the early hours of the morning the stormy wind pushes the small bedroom window open letting the wind and rain into the room.
Katniss doesn't wake up but pulls the blankets closer and begins to shiver.
When morning comes Prim goes to bring Katniss some breakfast. She drops the tray onto the ground when she sees the window open and the room covered in puddles of water and how her sister is shivering violently and looks pale with blue lips and hands.
She runs down stairs for her mother. Their mother comes up the stairs to examine Katniss bringing a thermostat.
She gasps and turns to Prim,
"Hypothermia"she says.
Prim eyes widen.
"Go get Gale, Prim. You'll be fine the storm is calmed down just make sure to layer up okay?We'll start rewarming her"Their mother says.
Prim nods and runs to the Hawthorne house.
When she knocks on the door, Gale answers.
Prim tries to catch her breath and tell him about Katniss.
"Prim? What's wrong?Is something wrong with Katniss?"he says.
"She's...got...hypothermiaaa...Gale. You. need.. to get over there"Prim says and Gale runs straight to the Everdeens home without closing the front door.
Prim closes the door and follows him.
Gale runs through to the seam to Katniss. He knows what happens when people get hypothermia in the district. They die.
How mean an I? :P
Making Katniss get hypothermia two weeks before the wedding. :O
Im not a doctor or a nurse or a medical student so when it comes to hypothermia I might not get the facts and that right okay?
