The Return of the Hunger Games [FALLEN ASHES] Book II

(3)

I open my eyes and the suns light almost immediately blinds me. I jump up ans close the shades and go back to my bed. I close my eyes and attempt to go to fall back asleep, then I realize something is wrong. I sit up and look around. I am in my home, in my bedroom, in my bed. I check the time, 9 in the morning. I get up, I don't feel at home. What's missing is my mother coming in and telling me goodmorning. My brothers laugh in the next room. Smelling Prims perfume from upstairs. And my father. My father. I remember about him, being alive and well. I run and open the door and I go down the hallway down the stairs and stop. I see somebody sitting down on the sofa, alone. I'm not scared, just surprised. I stand there looking at him, and he does the same. His green eyes, dark brown hair, his fairly muscular body, it makes me wonder who he reminds me of. Who it could be. But I just continue to stare at him and wonder.

*Katniss' POV*

"Katniss, are you out of your mind?" Haymitch asks me.

"Yes. Very much." I answer. "I'm going to kill him Haymitch, he must feel lucky that he survived the games but he's not going to survive me." I rush past him towards the door, but he stops me.

"Listen to yourself! You're going crazy."

"Are you defending him? My daughter is dead! He killed her, just so he could win!" My blood was steaming, and my hate was increasing.

"Breath." I dont listen. "First Fallon now him?"

I'm shaking my head. "This is all Fallons fault. And that kid-" he cut me off.

"Exactly, that KID. Only 15 years old."

"I dont care!"

Effie steps in, I think to calm down the situation. But that isn't the case, I can see it in her expression. "Katniss, there's something I should tell you." I look at her. "Fallon rigged the bowls." My eyes dont leave hers. "Will and Elissa were purposely put in the games. Fallon planned it all out just for revenge. So now I'm going to tell you, dont stoop down to his level. Dont give him what he wants because what he wants is to see you crumble and fall to where he is now. To be nothing but a piece of crap." She's right. I don't want her to be but it's true. But he did this on purpose. My children are dead because of him. I've lost everybody because of him and now I have nobody left. I looked around the room. The three of us are the only ones left in the Mentors room. Kal's mentors and designers went to go check on Kal's conditions. He went to the feast, and there he fought. A battle between him and two other tributes yet so bloody and gruesome. The girl who killed Thalia killed the boy from district 7, and then a ten minute long fight with her and Kal. Kal ended up splitting her skull wide open with one of her own knifes, but he was sent into critical conditions because of his chest. The girl nearly missed his heart with a triangular knife and he lost a lot of blood. The girl's name was Fiona, also from district 7.

"Katniss, listen to Effie. You dont want to do this." Haymitch says.

I think for a while. "I want to bring Fallon to shame. I want to be part of the R.O.T.R." I say. "I need to end this."

Effie and Haymitch looked at eachother, as if they knew something I didnt. "Lets head back to District 12 and we'll talk more about it. Okay?" Haymitch tells me.

I had a feeling he was hiding something from me. He always had these plans that involved me, but never involved me knowing. I don't appreciate those type of plans. It makes me feel as if I'm not good enough to know. We walk out of the room and go on the train to head back to District 12. I go straight to the bar and grab a cup full of Vodka. I take one chug and Haymitch instantly takes it away from me and flushes the Vodka down the drain. It surprises me he didnt drink it himself.
