The 71st Hunger Games - A Love Story COMPLETED

Chapter 11

[edited] 

We stayed in the tree until the next morning. We would leave tomorrow. I woke up and felt like I was falling, fast. I usually fell in my dreams so I didn't awake quickly. I rubbed my eyes and I saw everything falling. 

Oh shit. I was actually falling. I really suck at those straps.

Before I could do anything, I felt my body crash on the ground, and I cried out in pain. My eyes flew open and began to water. I felt someone tear my arm open and rip something out of my arm.  

Han had climbed down. She reached down, axe in hand.

My eyes were forcefully closed and I heard a cannon. I saw the drone come down for me and pull me up on the mat. I was ... dead?

Han screamed. I was being pulled out of the games. What. Did. I. Do.

When I was in the drone, I saw people in there. Not Capitol people. 

These people looked tired, working and from District 12. No fancy clothing, makeup, nothing. 

"Where- where am I?" I glanced around, hoping for a sign for what the heck was happening. Nothing. 

"Shh." A person watching over me was putting a finger on my mouth, like I was a toddler who was screaming in a classroom. I needed to find out what was happening.

I got up, but my body ached in pain. Blood seeped out at an alarming rate. Why had she done this? And made me dead? 

I looked to my bleeding arm. Everything hurt. I sat, and I fell unconscious from pain.

I woke up to my entire body aching. I was in a white room. I was being watched. I was confused past the point of anything.

I saw what looked like doctors with clipboards. I stared straight back at them and they looked away. 

I looked around anxiously. I got up, nauseous and dizzy. I immediately lay back down. 

"Han?" Where was she. I needed her. If this was about me liking her, then shouldn't she be here too? And why was Snow even angry? I forced myself up. I needed answers. I got up slowly and swung my feet off the side. One foot in front of the other. 

I wandered and got out easily. They probably assumed I would be too weak to get up. Well, I beat them.

"Han?" I repeated as I went into the hall.

I saw people rushing around.

"Have you seen Johanna Mason?" I asked a passing person.

They ignored me until I saw Riley.

The last person other than Mom that I saw on reaping day. It felt like so long ago.

"Riley!" 

She turned and looked shocked.

"Aven! What happened! Why aren't you in the Games?! Oh yeah."

"What?"

"President Coin took you out of the Games. It was the plan. Take as many as possible to be on her side. Also, taking you was apparently an act against the Capitol."

I had so many questions. But out spilled the first one to mind.

"Who's President Coin?" 

"Aven. You're in District 13."
