Mentors

"No! No, no!"

I scream at the top of my lungs, bursting to tears. Ugly, loud sobs escape my mouth and they echo, bouncing off the cave wall.

I'm on my knees. This is my fault. All my fault!

I feel a body pressed close to mine and a large pregnant stomach against my back. Talisa.

Four cannons are shot and I become confused. There weren't enough tributes left in the games for four cannons to go off unless it were us.

Unless it were us.

"Pluratch pronounced us dead." I say, through crying sounds.

"Katniss was right. They're getting us all out of here!" Roman concludes.

I push away from Talisa and hug my knees.

"I should have ran back for him. How could I be so selfish?" I shout.

They go on a long rant on how it's not my fault. After a while, I believe it.

I stand and wipe my tears. I'll get you home Kolton. And safe.

I walk up to the girl from District 4.

"This..This is your fault! You took the only family I had from home and practically killed him! You're lucky I don't kill you! It should have been Kolton here, not you! How stupid could I have been! You good for nothing career stuck up-"

"Hey!" Roman speaks up. He stomps over to me and lifts me off the ground and tosses me over his shoulder. I don't try to escape the grip like I did with Kolton. Instead I break, crying while upside down in his arms.

"Listen!" Roman places me down near Talisa.

"You have good intentions when you're under pressure. Which leads me to believe I trust you deeply. I think you brought this girl here for a reason that you don't know yet. She can help us get Kolton back. Panem thinks we're all dead, anyway. This is no one's fault but Snow's. I don't need you to break down like this again. I can't bear to see it. It's almost as bad as when you tried to kill yourself."

Romans last sentence nearly scares me to death. Then I remember.
I did try killing myself no more than a week ago.

"I just don't understand how-" the the ground shakes. Slowly, as if we were in an elevator, the cave goes up fast. Causing me to grip onto Roman. Talisa holds my foot for a little balance.
This has to be our rescue.
