Sorry it's so short! I'm literaly in the middle of the woods on a camping trip, at 1 o'clock in the morning!
Disclaimer: I don't own the Hunger Games.
"Darling, wake up!" "Mom?!" "Yes, darling, it's me. We're all here!" I sit up and stretch. "Where am I?" "We don't know," says River. "Riv- River?" My bottom lip trembles. "Hey, Victoria," he says. Maddie, Anna, River, and my mother are standing in a semicircle around me.
"You could join us, you know. We're all so happy here," Maddie says. Her eyes have lost the insane glint they harbored in the last few days of the games. She still has the knife sticking f her stomach. "Yeah, ViVi, Marlin doesn't need you that much," Anna says.
My mother smiles wickedly. "He doesn't need you, Victoria. He has Azula," River says. I begin to crawl backwards. "No, no, he needs me. Azula… I'd kill her if she makes a move on him," I say, standing up.
"But you need to join us. All you need is a knife. Marlin could do it too. What kind of message would it send to the districts if the Capitol can't keep a Career victor alive, at least until the victory tour? A strong one indeed. It might even be strong enough to convince the districts that the Capitol is weakening," my mother says.
They talk convincingly. I hesitate. Would it really be that bad? I mean, I'd be here with all of them. And if Marlin does it too, that would just be a bonus. I shake the hesitance away.
"No. I didn't fight with Oliver that long to go home and kill myself. I have so much to live for, my life can't end yet. I'll just have to hope that the Capitol falls before my children are old enough to be reaped," I argue.
"Whatever you say. Now wake up, you'll be late for your victor's interview!"
Sorry it's short! Had a really busy week! R&R, please!
