Greetings, fellow Tributes! Well, since I didn't get a review yesterday :'(, I decided to teach you all a lesson and wait until today to post! ;P. See you at the bottom!
*Flora Mellark POV*
Instead of my parents sleeping, I'm shocked by what I see: my father, the kindest, gentlest man I've ever met, is standing in the middle of the room, his hands clutching a chair so hard that it's a miracle it hasn't broken. He grunts in pain as his eyes, normally the most beautiful blue, the color he and I share, turn pitch black. I saw my mother desperately clutching his face, looking at him with a face full of love; I admired her courage, I would have run by now. What made me stay, despite the fear quickly spreading through me, is what she was saying: "Not real, Peeta, not real; I love you Peeta, come back to us, to the kids, they need you- I need you! Come back to me! Please-"
Her frantic pleas were interrupted by him lifting up the chair and bringing it down to the floor with such force that it shattered, narrowly missing my mother's head. A voice, unlike any other I'd ever heard, came out of my father's mouth. "DON'T TOUCH ME, YOU MUTT!" As I stared in shock, my young mind tried to process what was happening. Before I could make sense of what I'd seen, I heard my mother moan in pain. Apparently, one of the longest splinters got stuck IN my mother's arm, and as I saw my mother slowly back away from my father, the blood seeping through her shirt, something in me broke. An almost animal urge to protect my mother surged through me, and without thinking of the consequences, I burst into the room. "LEAVE MOM ALONE!" Time seemed to slow down; I jumped in front of Mom, shielding her from the blow Dad was about to inflict on her. "Flora, NO!" I felt her trying to push me out the way, but it was too late; his fist crashed into my head with such intensity that I flew across the room, landing hard on the floor. I felt the taste of blood in my mouth as my mother ran to my side, but before I could tell her to run before Dad could injure her again, the blackness engulfed me...
Major cliffhanger! If you want to see what happens as quickly as possible, leave a review and I'll post it today! (Be it good, bad, or ugly, it will be greatly appreciated!) As always, *Mock Bow* "Thank you... for your consideration."
