I can't believe this has happened. One minute she is worried about me, and the next, she's gone. I can't help but cry. I already lost someone to Tracker Jackers (Peeta). Not physically, but mentally. He loses it sometimes. But this time, I really lost a person to the Tracker Jackers. "Oh Margo!" I yell. I don't care how loud that may have been. I haven't gotten out of bed since, well I haven't gotten out of bed since I was put in here. Only to use the bathroom. Peeta has brought me breakfast every morning. I can't dare look into his eyes. Those eyes, that Margo inherited. The blue eyes that show promise and love. There is no way. But I miss those eyes, I need to get out of bed. As I slowly crawl out of bed, my leg starts to ache, and I know now that I have been in bed for to long. I walk out of the room and I look at the stairs.

"Do I go down?" I argue with myself.

"Yes! Imagine the delight on their faces when they see I am up and about!" I slowly make my way down. I wish I am glad I did, because who would have thought in a million years that I would see Gale and Peeta sitting down at the table eating breakfast!?

"Whoah!" Peeta exclaims. "I....I didn't expect to see you actually, uhm, up!" He says, a little stuttery. That always means something's up. Especially since Gail is here.

"what's going on?" I say. They just stare at me, I am beginning to wonder what is going on when it hits me. It is either Buttercup or my mom. I haven't seen or heard buttercup, but I haven't seen my mom either. So I ask again.

"What's going on?" I say, louder. They again just stare. I am beginning to get worried. When finally Trualer says "Sorry mommy, kitty went bye-bye!" I don't know what to make out of that. It could mean that my mom came here and picked up the cat, or the cat died.

"Peeta?" I ask. No response. I can tell they really do not want to tell me.

"Oh just tell her!" Gale says.

"Okay, well your mom was here, I know you wanted to see her, and she took Buttercup with her, but Buttercup didn't make it I'm sorry!" He says it so fast, my head starts to spin. Then everything goes black. And once again, I pass out. I can tell I have been asleep for a long time, but I don't dare open my eyes. I wonder if I keep passing out from the pain. I must be. Why else would it keep happening?

"BOOM!" I quickly open my eyes. And everything turns black again.
