Who I Am ~ Hunger Games; Bajancanadian AU

Chapter 13

~Amber's POV~
I blinked in surprise. "Amy? What about Amy?"

"She obviously wants me dead." Kurai managed to choke out, and I could see in her eyes, that she was absolutely petrified. I moved closer to her, hoping that my presence makes her relax a bit. Wow. I never really thought of the day my presence would actually comfort somebody, that is, before I did all those things after Jerome was kidnapped. I spoke silently, hoping that none of the other tributes would see my soft side. "Don't worry. I'll protect you. I'm not letting you die on my watch, you have your whole life in front of you."

She glanced up at me, hope brimming her eyes. "Really?"

"Really."

Kurai locked eyes with me. "You do know. Even if Amy doesn't kill me, there still is 21 more tributes."

I let out a sigh. "Kurai. Listen to me. I'm sure Jason won't go after you, unless he lost all sanity, and I can tell you that I could convince Mitch too."

Suddenly, she hugged me, a force I am not use to, but soon I hugged back. It felt like somebody besides Mitch finally likes me, and I felt like I had a little sister now. And I'm going to make sure she lasts as long as she can.
I closed my eyes as Kurai engulfed me in the hug, and whispered two words into her ear, making her sigh in relief. "I promise."
~Mitch's POV~
I turn around to see Amber and the district 8 girl...hugging? I crooked my neck to the side, and walked over to Amber as soon as they let go. The district 8 girl now noticed me, and ran off to Jason. "I'll leave you two alone!" Was what she yelled as she left. My eyes turned back to Amber.

"So...um... Who is she?" I scratched the back of my neck, I really feel like I should know.

Amber smiled, a real smile, that reached her eyes. "Kurai."

"Kurai?"

Her smile dimmed a little. "Kurai, district 8, Jason's partner? The one I raced over to catch when that idiot Amy untied her ropes?"

A wave of realization washed over me. "Ohh! Kurai. That's right. But what were you doing... Um... Hugging her?"

"Let's just say. I made a promise." She paused, as if anticipating something. "I need your help to fulfill that promise though."

I tilted my head to the side, "me?"

"Yes. You. I need you to promise me something."

"What?"

"You won't kill her."

"What?!"

"You. Won't. Kill. Her."

"Why?"

"Just promise me!"

"Okay...?"

She let out a breath of relief, "pinkie promise?" She stuck out her pinkie, like we were 6 again, and everything was normal.

I laughed whole heartedly as I remembered the good 'ol days. I wrapped my pinkie around hers. "Pinkie promise.
Her smile then turned to a frown and her eyes shot to the ground. I tilted my head confused, why the sudden mood change?

"What's wrong?"

She looked up again, her voice shook as she spoke. "You."

I stood there, more confused then ever. "Me?"

"Yeah. You."

"Why?"

"Because, Mitch. This. In a few days, this is going to be gone. Forever. It's never going to be the same. Even if one of us survive, the other one is dead."

My heart throbbed at that, and my words came out grim. "Maybe we can pull a Katniss and Peeta?"

She laugh grimly at that. "Katniss and Peeta were killed. Slayed because they broke a rule."

"The started a rebellion. Maybe we should continue it."

"Maybe we will."

"Maybe you'll become the new mokingjay."

"Maybe."

A/N
