As Priscilla walked into her room, she sat on her bed thinking about lyrics to write, she grabbed her notebook of songs and looked threw them, she found the one Arachne loved to hear sing the one she named 'Mine love all mine' She grabbed her guitar as she were about to start playing her song she heard the door open, In walked was her mother with a sheet of lyrics and a beat"They said this will be the song you'll be singing" Charlotte said as she handed them three girl the sheet of lyrics, the girl read threw it and scoffed
"Mother this has nothing to do with her death, these lyrics have a whole different meaning" The girl said looking at her mother
"Satyria said the academy had assigned you with this song, you only need to sing this one song don't mess it up you hear me" The mother said as she didn't like her daughter talking back to her
"Yes mother" The girl said, as the woman walked out
The next day the driver drove the Breen family to where the funeral was being held, as she got there she saw all her wealthy classmates with their families, they all dressed so fancy and luxurious with black
The girl linked her arm with her brothers as they took their seats shaking each hand with the wealthy families they knew, The breen family then sat down at their seats near the front, after minutes of waiting it hit nine o'clock, The girl watched her blonde friend rise and walk to the podium as the crowd fell silent
𝘎𝘦𝘮 𝘰𝘧 𝘗𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘮
𝘔𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘺 𝘊𝘪𝘵𝘺
𝘛𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴, 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘸The girl smiled hearing her best friend's 'singing' his singing was more like a sustained walking than a melodic tour de force, she thought, he then finally finished singing, He sat to an applause from the audience, the president then took the podium
"Two days ago, Arachne Crane's young and precious life was ended, and so we mourn another victim of the criminal rebellion that yet besieges us" He apode intoned "Her death was as valiant as any on the battlefield, her loss more profound as we claim to be at peace. But no peace will exist while this disease eats away at all that is good and noble in out country. Today we honor her sacrifice with a reminder that while evil exists, it does not prevail. And once again, we bear witness as out guest Capital brings justice to panem, as we show what that means, Priscilla Breen our precious girl will come up" The man says, the girl takes a breath before her brother smiles at her
As Priscilla walked on stage with her guitar she saw her mother look at her, ready to repeat the song she was given with a proud look, but that look changed once she heard a different melody play from her daughter's guitar

The mothers expression changed to anger, but Priscilla didn't care she wants doing this for her, or for herself but for Arachne Crane

As the girl sang she held tears coming, she looked over at the audience seeing them with tears, she saw Festus giving her a proud smile with tears streaming down his face, she saw her brother with a proud look on his face, then she saw...Coriolanus give her a look of love, but it wasn't a friendship love, it was a look of love love

As she sang that note, she looked over at the President he looked at the girl with a proud stare giving her a nod of approval, he knew that wasn't the song she were to sing but he knew it was what the young blonde girl would've wanted, he then turned to a man giving him a nod, the girl was confused but kept stringing her beat
As she looked in front of her she saw behind the peacekeepers a long flatbed truck with a crane affixed to it, High in the air, the bullet-ridden body of Brandy, dangled from the hook, Shackled to the truck bed, looking utterly filthy and defeated, were the remaining twenty-three tributes, the length of their restraints made it impossible to stand, so they either crouched down or sat on the bear metal floor, this was just a chance to remind the districts that the capital was always on top
Priscilla to her fear saw her tribute Treech up at front along with Lucy Gray, they were both up front a clear view to everyone, as they were both the capital's favorites so far, the capital thought the citizens would want to see they're favorites thinking it'll be better for them, but it just made them ashamed, The boy crouched down making eye contact with the girl, the girl stared back at him gasping
"Treech." she muttered, she was slowly losing her beat before she heard a voice whisper
"No no keep going Cilla" Gaius said now in the front row, the girl then continued
𝘔𝘺 𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘺, 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘯 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘩, 𝘴𝘰 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘯, 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘩𝘦𝘳
As a breen girl sang, she saw Treech look at her with loving eyes, he never heard her voice singing , he loved it so much, he loved her, he knew he fell for the capital girl that he couldn't have. but he couldn't help it and her singing wasn't making it better for him it just made him fall harder

Priscilla started back at the boy not breaking eye contact, she did what she feared would happen, she fell for her tribute, she fell for the poor district boy, she wished there could've been a way both teens could be together, but in this world there wasn't a way
𝘕𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘦, 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘦, 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘦.
As she finished she finally looked at the crowd, she saw some with tears streaming down their faces looking at her, and some with tears about to fall, she smiled with a tear falling down from her eye before quickly wiping it off, She then felt the President whisper behind her on how she did an amazing job and told her to sit back with her family, she nodded but before she left she turned to look at Treech and went down, she held her brothers arm before sitting down with him
Dr.Gaul then approached the mic "Arachne Crane, we, your fellow citizens of Panem, vow that your death will not be in vain. When one of ours is hit, we hit back twice as hard. The Hunger Games will go forward, with more energy and commitment than ever before, as we add your name to the long list of innocent, who died defending a righteous and just land. your friends, family and fellow citizen, salute you and dedicate the Tenth Hunger Games to your memory"
As the crowd listened to her words, Priscilla just turned around to look at Treech, seeing him already look at her made her sadness grow, as she looked at him tears steamed down her face.
