Primrose: An Alternate Ending to The Hunger Games

We're All Pawns [3]

I wake up in a white room.

Still adjusting to the bright lights, I look around. It seems as if there are four cells each separated by glass walls. The redhead is to my right and Johanna and the other one are across the hall.

There is nothing in any of our cells. Not even a bed. Even back in district twelve we had beds.

But here, the conditions are worse than at home, I remind myself, at least at home I had family.

"Thinking of home?" Johanna asks, as if she was reading my mind.

"Yeah," I chuckle slightly, "Katniss, my family, my district, everything I miss."

Johanna smiles and looks at me through the glass walls separating us.

"You're lucky you have family. There's no one left for me to escape to. No one left I love." she says.

"There has to be someone you can go to when we get out of here." I say, my voice becomes softer. I look at her with pity.

"No, Prim, there truly isn't anyone. And if there was someone, I wouldn't want to be them, having to see me suffer. That'd just make them a pawn, like us, another piece in his game." Johanna states as she leans her head against the wall.

"Johanna," I ask, changing the conversation, "What do you think they'll do to us here."

"I honestly don't know Prim, I honestly don't know." she answers my question as the footsteps from down the hall get louder.

I look over at Johanna to see that her eyes are shut. She's pretending to sleep. I follow her lead and shut my eyes like her.

The footsteps draw nearer and soon, they're right in front of my glass prison, but they keep moving. And once they stop, I risk a quick peek as to where they are.

They're in front of the redhead's cell.

"Come with me." a man's voice commands.

Soon after a second pair of lighter footsteps follows the first.

{AN: Sorry this is so short guys! If I added the next part it would be really long. I'll have the next part up either later tonight, tomorrow, or Friday. Okay ilyasm, thanks for reading!}
