She thought she would never hear his voice again. "Harlow?" She said, standing up with Katniss, who had heard screaming as well.
"Katniss, Help Me!"
"El' I don't wanna die!"
"El', Help me please!"
Elliot ran as fast as she could into the forest.
"PRIM!" Katniss ran after Elliot, while Finnick tried to stop them both. The two girls searched for the voice, when a bird who was circling them caught Katniss' eye. The voices stopped once Katniss shot the arrow, making the bird's lifeless body drop to the ground. "Are you okay?" Katniss asked since Elliot looked like she had seen a ghost.

"El' I want you to know that I love you." Harlow Young said, he said three more minutes with his sister until he was sent to his death.
"No, they can't do this, you're all I have left." The girl quietly sobbed into her brother's shoulder.
"You'll be fine, okay, I'll come back to you." Harlow breathed in the familiar scent of Jasmine and vanilla. "Don't do anything to make your name in there anymore than it has too."
