Hijacked - The Hunger Games

Chapter 14|Flashbacks

Glimmer. Marvel. Cato. Thresh. Rue. Foxface. Daddy. All dead because of me.

No, not me.

Because of the Capitol. Because of Snow.

We are nearing the Capitol, the keeper of my nightmares. The place where I was broken.

I sit with Prim on my left side and Peeta on my right, holding both of their hands. It's excruciatingly painful to look at the Capitol. It doesn't seem as hard for the others.

We step off the hovercraft and all I see is waste. This must be the Capitol's dump.

Boggs speaks up."There are underground tunnels leading from hear to all over the wings of the Capitol. Pollux should know these routes." Pollux nods. He must have been working as an avox under there or something.

Boggs opens a secret door that must lead to the tunnels. We step inside, and I smell something fowl. Something that is so putrid, I fall to the ground. Gagging.

"Masks on!" Gale says. They all have strange looks on their faces. It must only be affecting me.

Because what I'm smelling are President Snow's roses.

Pollux points the way, and he's communicating with some type of hand movements. Only Castor understands.

I believe Pollux is making some jokes, because Castor keeps laughing.

"I have an old friend who can foster us until we are ready to go to the mansion. I heard President snow is planning a celebration for our deaths" Cressida says.

"But we aren't dead," I say.

"He is planning on it." She says.

We keep walking until we come across some railroad. It's old and abandoned. Across a sign it says "Subway."

We travel the railroad for hours until Pollux stops us. He points to an air vent, and we all crawl through it. It leads to a small door.

I open it, and I am in someone's basement.

"This is my friends. She is probably up there in the shop. Her name is a Tigris."

What a strange name. This is the Capitol, though.

We go up a ladder into a shop, and I soon see why she's named that. Her skin is tattooed with gold and black stripes. She had whiskers emerging from her cheeks, and purrs every other word she says.

"My name is Tigris. You will be safe here." She purrs.

She leads us down to the basement again and opens a door I didn't notice before. I see many sleeping bags and some small refrigerators. This place is kind of nice.

"You can sleep here for as long as you please, but I may need to take care of some refugees at some point. You will probably have to leave by then."

It's getting late, so I decide to get some rest. I curl up in between Prim and Peeta, the two people I love most.

That's when I hear the voices.

Go Katniss. Get away from your loved ones. You will just hurt them more.

No, no, it's all just in my head.

You will kill all of them off. They will be dead because of you, and will not forgive you. Get out of there.

It's not real! Not real!
I'm trying to fight it off but I can't!

You are not worth it! You are going to cause the end of humanity! You are a failed experiment! All you do is cause people around you, people you love, to get hurt! Get away from them!

It's all real! It's true! Every bit of it! I am not worth anybody! They should not waste their lives on me. Why did I ever think I was something when I'm nothing but a pain!

I start running, voices racing through my head. I have no idea where I'm going. I am running away from the world. Away from my people. Away from the pain.

They probably all did this out of pity. I was in two hunger games and taken by the Capitol.

But you know what? I'm absolutely done with pity.

I break down in tears and crash down onto the floor. Why does everyone I love get hurt?

I lie their, motionless. That's when I hear their screams.

This was such a boring chapter! Sorry! But I deleted the first one I wrote of this accidentally and yeah. That sucked. Anyways, you should read Midday_Hanging_Tree 's story I do, I need you! It's amazing! Bye! Love you and thank you for reading!!❄️
