Primrose Everdeen is not your average supportive character. Being reaped, almost dying two times, living in a district that everyone thinks is in rubble, training to become a doctor, and of course, being the sister of Katniss Everdeen. Prim struggle...
My scared thoughts were interrupted by Katniss's voice. " So Prim, how do you like 13 so far?" The question is obvious. I miss 12 so much. I miss the fresh air in my face, the bright green grass beneath my toes. I answer anyway. " It's good. I just miss 13 sometimes, but then I realize there's nothing left of it. " I could see Katniss's face harden, so I bring up a happier topic. " They want to train me as a doctor." " They would be stupid not to." We started to slightly grin, until a loud noise cracked above us, making Buttercup moan. " Shhhh. It's ok baby. We're ok." The words seem to calm him a bit. After awhile, the oxygen seems to be getting thinner. " You should go to bed." Katniss says, motioning me to my bunk. " I'm too afraid it will collapse."
Katniss and I pulled the mattresses off the bunk beds and laid them on the ground. I slept next to my mother, but I didn't turn into her. I kept rubbing my finger over the tree emblem on my bracelet. There was something strange about it. Just the touch of it seemed to give me some sort of ease. I heard Katniss get up, so I pretend to fall asleep. When she left, I carefully moved into her mattress. " Hey." I looked up startled to see a grinning face. " Did I scare you?" Rory asked, handing me an extra mattress. " No," I said, but it was hard to resist smiling. He plopped down his mattress so we were face to face.
" You have a pretty face." I could feel my face blush, so I tried hiding it with my long golden hair. He laughed, and I could see the shimmer in his eyes. " I would do anything to protect you," he said, his voice light. " Rory, I'm almost thirteen. You're fourteen already." " So?" " Nothing." Our heads moved as we heard footsteps. " Go!" I shouted, giggling. It was hilarious to see him scurry away with his oversized mattress. I felt warm inside, which helped me go to sleep.

My dreams started out nice and sweet. I was laying in bed, with Katniss, giving her advice. I remember the actual conversation very well. I remember the warmth on my face, and Katniss's sweet touch.

" Whatever it takes to break you."
The works echoed through my mouth like chives. Suddenly, I saw Katniss tied in a grey stoned room. I reached out to her, but her head was down. When we looked up, her mouth hung open and she withered away into grey dust. Peeta suddenly appeared, frantic. " It's all your fault!" he screamed. As he lounged towards me, I woke up with a start.
And in realization, I realized why Mrs. Crook chose me.
