Chapter 3:

   "EMILY!" My sister screamed, sobbing. She was a mess. I run towards her and enveloped my arms around her.

   "Its okay, Lou... just take care of Kev." I tell her sternly. Kevin stood nearby just looking at me. Poor boy was in shock. Lou gave another sniffle and wiped her eyes. She was trying so hard to be strong.

   "You are brave and witty, Em. You can do this. I... you have to. Mum and dad... you have to win okay?" She said back. I wanted to win the games, I wanted to live and see them again. But it would never happen. I'm just a tiny, wimpy thirteen year old. So I just nodded to Lou and gave Kevin a tight hug.

   "Kevin. Don't watch the games. You don't need to. Just hang in the oak tree. Lou will tell you... whatever happens." I say to him. I didn't want him watching if I died or things got really bloody. He was just a kid.

   "Okay, Em. I'll miss you." Keven replied. He was looking at his feet. I felt so bad, but this wasn't my fault. None of this was. Bloody Capitol. I then leaned over and kissed his tiny forehead.

   "I will miss you too, but I will never forget you or stop loving you. Remember that Kev." I tell him with tears rolling down.

   The peacekeepers then say, "Times up." and pull Lou and Kevin out of the room. They say goodbye and then the door slams in my face. My heart broke. The door then opened again quickly to reveal a trembling Flynn, though he was acting strong. He roughly hugs me for a while, covering me in his scent. I want to stay there in his arms, protected from the games. 

   When Flynn pulls back, I start to tear up again. A girl can only take so many goodbyes.

   "Emily. We have trained for how long? I have you ready to kick butt out there. Join allies, that's the best thing to do. Just try to survive and be smart. I will be rooting for you. And remember me okay? I want you to come back home." He said also with tears running down his cheeks. So much for acting strong.

   "I will, Flynn I'll do it. And every second I'll remember you. And take care of Lou and Kevin, you are the only one they trust now... please don't leave me..." I whispered. 

   "I love..." Flynn didn't finish. The peacekeepers dragged him out, I would probably never see him again. What was he going to say? I crumbled down to the floor.

   Angel walked in and helped me onto my feet. "Its okay, beautiful. We are leaving now." She tells me. I didn't know this side of her. Franta then escorts me to the train, with Josh coming in beside me. He was a mess too. The worst thing was that it was this the most gorgeous day outside, leaves blowing, birds singing, and the sun shining bright. But I was in pain. Raw pain from leaving everything I knew.
