The Hunger Games 2 - The Flames

Chapter 16

I never wanted to set my eyes on Jake , he shouldn't have done that back there , he knew me and Mark were together but he still goes doing that , I cant believe him. There wasn't long left on the flight back home so I spent the rest of it helping my brother , since I haven't seen him in a long time. Mum kept complaining on the bandage she had on the thigh was too tight , I just started laughing because every time mum whines it reminds me of Aloe , very motherly she is. So , tomorrow is Aunt Prim's , Uncle Vick and Haymitch's funeral , cant believe all three all gone , not to be rude I don't mind Haymitch gone cause he kept calling me Katniss , but Hazel seem to worry high skies , when she heard the news she couldn't stop crying , you see they had a thing going on dad told me but didn't tell mum because Haymitch said not to tell her.

The hovercraft lands onto the H marked on the rooftop of the Rebel's building , as president Paylor came on "Welcome back team and a special welcome back to you Mr . Aloe Mellark"  she said gesturing some of our guards to help take our equipment out of the hovercraft and help Aloe and I to the aiding room , since we both were bleeding like mad , "Thanks for welcoming me home President Paylor" Aloe said looking up into her red eyes but looked back down knowing that she isn't the one lets people look at her "Its alright Aloe I wont bit and we're sending you and your sister aiding down the hall to stop all the bleeding" , "Will I get an artificial leg like dad?" , " Oh for god sake ALOE!" , "What?" , " Your not getting one of those legs dad has , I simply wont let you have one , seeing dad having one petrifies me and the memories, of Aunt Prims death burns like wildfire in my heart." , "Promise I wont have one?" I knelt down to his level and nodded and walked off with him to the aid room , I was instructed to lie down on the bed as doctor's came in and attached things to me , one said morphling , another took the blood that kept flowing out me arm , my arm was put into another bandage but before it was put on a cream was spread onto it and wrapped up. It stung for hours I couldn't help but scream every time I moved it up or down.

I complained every time , im guessing this arm will never heal , the stinging really never stopped , apparently I was meant to change the bandage when I get home , was I told that? nooo , I never really had a sort of injury like this before , but I did what was right and that was choosing to save my brother first before he memory was taken by the capitol and killed , I would've went for killing snow and finding a way to perminately doing that but it would take a long time to find the right resolution into doing it , but Aloe's home safe everyone was in fact , but the pain cries I hear from mum and dad house every night , It wasn't just them it was the boys aswell , grandma said snow helps cure the pain , I think she was right , I tried it on my wound and It literally stop hurting me , its great to finally see her , I never seen her before , not even when I was born

It was round 9:30pm , I have to sleep early tonight so I can prepare for the funeral , im not looking forward to seeing 3 coffins going into the earths soil and a few years later that spot being bombed , I turned off the lights by clapping my hands in the air and closed me eyes for a few minutes as memories flashed by of the games.

*Flashback*

Walking through the forest seeing Aunt prim dead but still alive on the floor with a spear launched into her chest ,while I tears ran down my face pulling her head and putting it on to my lap , that was the last time I saw her , she told me to win for her and uncle vick and also do it for the district , im not giving up , I was a normal girl till the stupid games were brought back , its not all easy to fight , I cried and cried as she finally dies in my arms.

*End of flashback*

"NO!" I scream shooting out my bed with fright and start hyberventirling , my door shoots opens revealing Mark , "What's wrong Amanda?" , "T-t-t-t-the nightmares" , "Its alright" Mark sat on the edge of my bed and rubbing my leg and duvet , comforting me I like those times , he got up knowing that I have calmed down a little and was about to leave my room "Don't go , please , stay here with me" I said wiping the tears from my eyes with my hands and made room for him to get in , as soon as he lays down I put my head on his chest hearing his heart beat fast , I guess that was for me as I blushed and fell asleep instantly  , a ray of bright light that came from the hallway came through my opened room door , I wake up to see who is there and Jake's head pops out , I see the tension in his body has risen making him jealous , I wont dare think of remembering  what happened back in snow's mansion , that doesn't mean nothing I wasn't thinking , I lift my head and moved up so now that I was face to face with Mark and kissed making him smile as I turn around while he begins to spoon , the light fades out of my room and a loud slam of door happens but I ignore it , Mark and I are meant to be and it will never ever be Jake.

I will not let the memory of Demetrius telling me Jake likes me at the beach in the arena , why did he save me anyway ? , he could've have just let me die there and rot into the sand , if Jake didn't feel that way about me I would be fine , or dead by now but Demetrius had to become the hero and save my life for that wack chop , I would've wanted Marks help , I kept opening my eyes every time my dreams lead to the moment Demetrius killed the career tribute from 1 for me , I couldn't get any sleep at all , so I sleep there in silence , with my eyes opened all night trying not to wake Mark up , he was a soft sleeper I could tell this on how he slept in the cave back in the arena , those memories wont leave my mind just as mum said to me they wont.
