Daughter (Hunger Games Fan-Fic) {Watty Awards 2015} (COMPLETED)

Chapter 20

  I can feel Max's palm in mine, and smile.

  "Max?" I say, a bit shaky.

  "Rosie?" He says excitedly.

  "You sound like a little boy on Christmas." I laugh, but cough instead.

  "Take it easy."

  "What happened?"

  "You had a seizure, Jonny says it is one of the first signs of death, when it comes to bites like yours."

  "Great." I roll my eyes and fall back remembering my plan.

  "You alright?"

  "Better than before."

  "Are you sure?"

  "Yeah why?"

  "Well Jonny says-"

  "You know what? Enough of what Jonny says, if I die, I die. Now can we please just be normal for once?" Did I just say that? "Oh Genyss, why do people always act like this, when they are in the presence of royalty." Now I know I just said that, I look at Max, giving him the evil eye, "You gave me morphine!" I shout, ignoring Genyss' horrified expression.

  "Jonny said it would help." Whoop, there it is.

  "I told you, enough of doing what Jonny says. The other part wasn't true, but that part was!" I shout again.

  "Bring your voice down, he can hear you." He says.

  "I told you enough of doing what Jonny says, The other part wasn't true, but that part was!" I whisper it this time, smirking.

  "What has gotten into you?" He asks raising his tone.

  "Just a little morphine that's all."

  "I don't get why you are mad about this!"

  I don't answer.

  I can't answer.

  It'd blow my cover, and not even morphine can get that out.

  "I am mad, because I am hoping it will be easier to say goodbye if I want to strangle you!" Is what I want to say, but instead I say, "I don't know either. I am sorry."

  "Good." He replies putting his hand on my shoulder.

  "When are you guys planning on doing it?" I ask.

  Max goes quiet.

  "Tonight. After you are asleep." He says.

  "Then I won't sleep." I say sternly.

  He begins to says something, but I "sh" him, and stand up, walking away.

  "Jonny." I say repeatedly to annoy my mute friend.

  He stays silent till I threaten him.

  "I will scream unless you talk to me." He looks at me for a minute in disbelief.

  I take a gulp of air and let out the loudest and most blood curdling scream I can possibly make. Then I do it again five times before he finally talks.

  "Shut the hell up!" He shouts at me.

  "There's Jonny!" I say pinching his cheeks.

  He smiles mockingly.
