Hijacked - The Hunger Games

Chapter 15|Taken away from me

I start running back to the basement towards the sound of screams. I didn't even realize I went outside where I could've gotten killed. Not like it'd matter if I did anyway.

"Katniss!" Prim yells.
"I'm coming Prim!"

I get into the store and almost faint.
Peacekeepers taking away my loved ones. They are running and slinging some over their shoulder.

"No!" I scream. I shoot the one who has Finnick in the head, but the other ones just keep running.
They didn't bother to grab anyone but Finnick, Gale, Peeta, and Prim.

"Let them go!" I start screaming. Finnick takes out his gun and shoots the one with Gale through the head. That is the only place the bullets can go through.

"Don't go!" I scream. I start to run really fast. My legs can't take it anymore. My knee buckles underneath me and I fall to the ground.

I try to get up, but it's no use. I just fall again. The others are way too far behind to do anything. I can't even get up.

"Come back!" I start to sob.

The peacekeepers are already boarding a hovercraft.

"I. Can't. Lose. You. Again." I cry.

And that's when I lose consciousness.

▪️▫️▪️▫️▪️▫️▪️▫️▪️▫️▪️▫️▪️▫️▪️

I wake in a strange place that I don't recognize. I get up from an unfamiliar bed and black out for a moment. My knee is much better. It is wrapped up in some kind of cloth.

Once I regain my vision, I look around.

The first thing I recognize is the torn up walls. And the room smells faintly of salt.

A lady walks in and smiles. She is wearing a white blouse and black skirt. She writes on a clip board.

"Hello. My name is Holly. You are at the hospital in district 4. You have been here for 3 days. We treated your knee. We heard news about you all being attacked in the Capitol and sent refugees in to rescue you." She says sweetly.

"You, Finnick Odair, Gale Hawthorne, and some of your squad are alive. Unfortunately, we were not able to rescue Peeta Mellark or Primrose Everdeen."

"What happened to them?! Are they dead? Are they alive? Where are they!" I yell.

" They have been captured by the Capitol. As far as we know, they are alive."

They have been captured by the Capitol.

That's the worst place to be. I would rather be killed than go to the Capitol.

"Why d-didn't you s-save them?" I cry like a child.

"It was far too late, and there was nothing they could do." She says. I can see pity in her eyes.

"Is there anything I can get for you?" She asks.

I shake my head. Heather leaves the room.

The only thing I need right now is the two people I love most. What a coincidence that they were the ones taken away from me.

I get up and find Finnick in his room. As soon as he sees me, he frowns. He must feel pity for me too.

"It just keeps happening again and again." He says. I give him a questioning look.

"Nobody can be safe from them. Their purpose is to break you. They are not going to let Peeta and Prim escape this time."

I say nothing. I feel pain in my chest.

"They've broken all of us. Even you, the girl on fire. And me, the symbol from district four who was forced into...you know." A tear escapes his eye.

"I wish I could think of a way to show them that they don't own me."

Peeta's words.

I start crying. I try not to let it show. I just let silent tears fall.

"It wasn't our fault that we were in the hunger games. People say you chose to be in them. But you didn't. You had no choice but to protect your sister. Seventy five games. Thousands of deaths."

My walls start tumbling down. I'm losing it.

"You may survive the games. Be bathed in riches, be haunted from the nightmares.
But you will never win them." He says.

We stand there in silence. I speak very few words, yet they make such an impact on us both.

"I wish they were dead." I say. "I wish they were all dead and we were too."

But we are dead. And we always were dead. Because this is not living.

I know what you're thinking. "Holy balls this book is starting all over again." And yes, my friends, you are right. I AM SO SAD WHY DID I WRITE THAT WHAT THE CRAP OKAY YOU SHOULD READ Midday_Hanging_Tree 's book I do I need you and please tell me what you think! I'm sorry for breaking your heart!
Xoxo
