The Hunger Games (Primrose Everdeen x Male Reader) On Hold

Chapter 2: Reaping Day part 2

Effie: Primrose Everdeen!
=======================================

Y/N's POV:

I stood there unable to believe what was happening. How had she been picked? She only had one name in. It was statistical impossible for her to be picked. I felt the skin on my hand beginning to give away from clenching it so hard.

I began searching the crowd trying to find Prim. She was already half way to the stage and her back was turned to me so I couldn't see her face but the way She was walking told me She was terrified. I looked away trying to find something, anything to help her. Male can't volunteer for Female tributes and vice versa. There really only was one way to make sure She came home safe. I looked towards the adults and saw my mother she looked smug like she finally had her way and i guess in a way she had.

I continue to scan the crowd and finally caught Katniss's eye she looked horrible but was trying to mask it. She looked at me pleading. I looked back just as Prim made it to the stage. Then Effie Trinket asked if anyone wanted to volunteer. Nobody stepped up. Sure people liked Prim, but not enough to die for her. Well no one but me. She then moved onto the male tributes.

Effie: And now for the boys.

She fiddled with the bowl for a minute finally selecting a peice of paper. And the name on it only made my resolve solidify.

Effie: Peeta Mellark!

The crowd cleared away for him giving him a clear path like they did for Prim. Peeta made it to the stage he looked heartbroken.

Effie: Do we have any volunteers?

A few seconds pass and as she's about to start her speech.

Y/N: I volunteer as Tribute!

The whole crowd stood silent. District twelve had never in all 74 years of hunger games had a volunteer. I was the first. I made my way to the stage and took Peeta's place Prim looked even more scared than before.

Effie: And your name is?

Y/N: Y/N Mellark.

Effie: I'll take a guess and say that was your brother wasn't it?

Y/N: Yes, he is.

The indifference in my voice seemed to put her off slightly.

Effie: Our tributes from district twelve.

I turned to Prim and gave her a smile trying to tell her it would be alright. We must have been staring for too long as Effie was trying to hurry us up.

Effie: Well, go on, you two shake hands.

I held my hand out and Prim tentatively took it in hers and we shook hands.

Effie: Happy Hunger Games and may the odds be ever in your favor.

We were then walked into the town hall and put into sperate rooms. Peeta was the first in to visit me.

Peeta: What the hell, Y/N?!

Were the first words out of his mouth.

Y/N: Wait, hold on let me explain. I have a plan.... kind of.

Peeta: Kind of doesn't cut it. What the hell were you thinking?!

Y/N: I'm trying to keep two people I love from dieing!

Peeta: Damn it Y/N, I'm suppose to be the one protecting you, not the other way around.
Wait two?

I realized my mistake to late.

Y/N: Well um you misheard me?

Peeta: No, no I didn't. You like Prim don't you? I don't know how I didn't see it earlier.

He started pacing back and forth I looked at the clock we only had a minute left.

Y/N: Peeta. If I don't come back watch over her for me, please?

Peeta: You make it sound like you plan on dying.

Y/N: Of course not, just making sure.

He sigh and the Peace Keepers came in to take him out.

Peeta: Alright. I'll do it.

With that he was closed behind the door. A few minutes passed by before my mother and father came in. My mother was hysterical and my father was stoic as usual.

Sophie: Why, why would you do that?!

She was sobbing and having trouble speaking.

Y/N: I had to make sure Peeta was ok.

Zander: That's not your only reason is it?

I stayed silent he always was able to see right through me.

Zander: Y/N, What are you planning?

Y/N: Promise me something.

Zander: What is it?

Y/N: Look after her for me.

Zander: Y/N, you can't-

Sophie: What's going on? What is he doing? And why is he asking you to look after that brat. She probably won't make it past the first night.

That was it. I had had enough and finally snapped at her.

Y/N: Because I'm not coming back. Atleast I don't plan to.

Sophie: What?

Our time was already up. The peace keepers came in and pulled them away. I stopped one of them before they left.

Y/N: Can you ask Katniss Everdeen to come see me please? I have something to tell her.

He nods and closes the door. What felt like and eternity passed before she came into the room. I rushed and pulled her into a hug. This was unusual for both of us but this didn't need to be heard by anyone outside. She seemed to catch on and hesitantly hugged me back.

Y/N: She coming home safe. I promise.

She seemed to understand as she hugged me tighter.

Katniss: Thank you.

I let go and she walked out of the room.
With visits done we were taken out the back door and shoved onto a car with Effie Trinket. I've only seen pictures and the heavily armored Peace Keeper Trucks.
It was alot smaller than I expected. We were all squished in the back with Effie in the middle.
She started talking and I tuned her out almost instantly.
