To Kill A Mockingjay

Rue Chapter 1

This first story is what if Rue had won. It will be written fully from her POV and it will start the moment Marvel traps Rue and is about to kill her.

***

Fear shoots through me as I helplessly try to wriggle my way out of the net. The boy from 1, Marvel, raises his spear and aims at my stomach. I manage to roll out of the way just in time to avoid a fatal hit, but the spear slashes through my side, opening a wound that starts bleeding immediately. Oh Katniss, where are you? Marvel rushes forward to retrieve the spear, and I take my chance. I manage to position my foot to kick him where it will hurt, but just as I'm about to do it, his head whips around. There's someone there. Katniss. Marvel takes off running in the direction of the sound, whips his spear in the general direction, and a piercing female scream reaches me. Marvel curiously wanders to recover his spear, while I franticly think, not Katniss. Anyone but Katniss. I can hear dragging, and I suddenly see her, the spear has reached her in the chest. Missed the heart, but she's dead, she's lost too much blood. But she still has fight left in her. When Marvel reaches forward to yank the spear away, she suddenly whips the knife in her belt towards him, reaching his neck. I don't know how, but Katniss manages to stand up, yank the spear from her own body, and finish Marvel. His cannon booms and Katniss sinks to her knees.

"I did it, Rue!" she says in a hoarse voice that doesn't belong to her.

She manages to drag herself forward and places the knife in my hand.

"Katniss, no!" I shout with tears in my eyes as she coughs blood in my face.

She whispers one last unintelligible word before the cannon sounds, and then she's gone. Just like that. I am in shock. I grasp the knife until it hurts and begin to cut my way through the ropes. Once out of the net, I head to Katniss' body to check her pack. I know she'd want me to have it. Inside I find my leafs and herbs and greens, plus some of the groosling, best of all the burn medicine, and some other stuff. Her pack is bigger than mine, so I just stuff all my things into it and tuck my folded pack in my pocket. Next, I head over to Marvel. He has a pack of dried fruit, a first aid kit, some spare spearheads, some knives, and a bottle of water. I stuff the bottle, the first aid kit, and the fruit in my pack and take two knives, a small one and a big one, and I secure them in my belt. I start to walk away, but something stops me. Katniss. I can't leave her like that. I gather some herbs from the marsh and place them under her head like a pillow. Then I wrap her in the net like a blanket, and finally, I place a bellflower in her chest, right over the spear wound.

"Goodbye," I whisper.

Then I walk away without looking back. The Mockingjay gives the alarm call, and I watch as Katniss and Marvel are lifted onto the air. Win. Was that what she said? It was hard to make out her last word. Or maybe pin? I think it had a "P." Prim! Her sister! That's what she had said! I think back to the replay of the reapings. The woman in a pink dress, Ellie Trinket I think, drawing Primrose's name, Katniss volunteering, she must have loved her so much. Prim. This is all wrong; Katniss should've won! Primrose needed her! I climb as high onto a tree as I dare; I'll be safe up here, so I shout at the top of my lungs,

"Primrose Everdeen! I promise to win for your sister. She was the bravest person I've ever met. She and her loss will not be forgotten."

I take out Katniss' sleeping bag and belt myself onto the tree branch just like she used to. The anthem, Marvel, Katniss. I am about to let my drowsiness take over when I hear trumpets. A feast. But why now? There's been plenty of gore for the day. I listen closely as Claudius Templesmith congratulates those of us who are still alive, and blah blah. But then something catches my ear.

"There's been a slight change of rules; this year, two tributes can win if they're the last two standing and from the same district. Thank you, good night, and may the odds be ever in your favor."
