The Hunger Games 2 - The Flames

Chapter 17

Lets say that was the worse night of my life , I drifted off more than once , I kept seeing the moment Demetrius collapsed dead in front of me with a knife launched into his spine. It wasn't just that dreams flashing by while I was sleeping , seeing Aunt Prim die in my arms was gruesome , I cant even look at old pictures of the family anymore , that's how much it pains. I woke up early and got out of bed without waking Mark up , slipped on some black skinny jeans , a black hi-low dress and black knee-high converses , im not looking forwards to today , its the final time I will ever see Aunt Prims , Uncle Vicks and Haymitch's face lifeless sleeping in their coffins , I wont stand that their gone  , before making my way to the front door walking over to mum and dads home I had another nightmare lets just say it was in the day. 

*Flashback*

I come back from a feast with Jake besides me , seeing a blonde girl with plaits in her hair just like Aunt Prims , I walk closer with my bow ready to attack anyone near by while Jake holds Aloes trident upright to help him walk with the injury he had on his thigh walking back to the hide out. Petrified I was , I couldn't believe it , I ran towards the girl on the floor.

"Aunt Prim , what happened? I thought I told you to stay with the boys" tears began to flood my eyes as I turn my head back to see Jake slowly gaining on behind me and gesturing Mark and Aloe from behind him to run.

"I heard a cannon , I thought it was you , so I tricked to boys to say I was going to get some herbs , incase you get back and - " her voice started trailing off , another cannon is fired as pictures of the fallen shows in the sky , "He's the one who sh-sh-shot this spear into my chest" pointing to the district 10 boy and pulling the spear out. Her eyes began to slowly close

"No , No don't do this to me , don't die , mum needs you , I need you!" I scream in agony hoping she could her my voice that begins to tremble.

"D-d-do it for m-m-me win this"  I begin to cry that I did before as Aloe crashes to the ground next to me and leans his head on Aunt Prims stomach while she rubs his head "Both of you , in fact , a-all of you must w-w-win for your family" blood begins to flow out her mouth as she looks in to my grey eyes and then starring to the pink sky above.

"Don't , don't die please!" Aloe and I scream together in pain as her grip on my hand had loosened and dropped , I laid her head back on to the soil and stood up doing the 3 fingered rebellion sign mum did in the 74th games and whistled. "This is for you Aunt Prim" I cant bare it

*End of flashback*

my sight became blurry , everything turned blank as a piece of paper , I feel my body becoming weaker , I let myself fall but im caught. "Amanda" I hear my name being called from a familiar voice but I cant quiet reach what was going on , "Amanda sweetie are you alright" I hear the voice again but more clearly this time , I feel my body on the ground while strands of my hair were pulled behind my ears , my vision was coming back , I looked up to see Uncle Gale looking down on my with tears forming , "Oh , Amanda your alright" , my sight was almost its full vision again , I blink twice and speak "W-what happened to me?" , "I think you had a day mare which cause you to black out" that explains it , "Why are you dressed in black?" , "The funerals today sweetie , your wearing black too" "Oh" I said  slowly getting up with help "Im not looking forwards to this" I said with a glum tone and patting off the soil from my dress. "No one is dear, lets get you inside" Uncle Gale helps me in holding me by the waist so I don't fall, I appreciate someone helping me.

I used me spare hand to open the front door of mum and dad home and walked in while Uncle Gale was still holding me upwards by the waist , "Dad , mum" I call from the door of the kitchen as they both turn around from the stools , "Oh what happened dear?" mum asked me worried like a little puppy , "She fainted - more of a black out outside near the fountain" I didn't even have to open my mouth , " My poor baby girl" , "Mum Im not 3 anymore" , " I know but let me get you some medicine" she helps me inside the kitchen with Uncle Gale he doesn't want to let go off me in case I fall again , but I guess it wont happen , "Peeta where are the  medicine for Amanda's nauseas?" , " Don't worry I will get it Katniss" they both shout over to each other , dad leans over the kitchen sink opening a cabinet above and pulling out a box with my medicine in as he fills a cup with water for me and hands it over , "Here honey , thank you Gale for helping my daughter" her pats Uncle Gale on the shoulder and share a laugh. There's an old fashioned horn being you know horned outside the houses of the victor village as we walk out to see 3 long black cars containing coffins with the bodies in and 2 small ones for us to sit in , I couldn't hold in how hurt I was seeing their bodies in a box , my eyes started to flood , like the flood district 12 had when 13 overused their water and became once again the city of rubble.

Everyone got in the 2 cars and driven off to the grave yard , Uncle Vick's side of the family were all there , the only person there for Haymitch was Hazel , though she was also here for her son , Haymitch's little brother was also there, he was small like Aloes height but he was my age , he was scared of me , thought I might hurt him when I got closer, "Siren , I wont hurt you I promise , I helped you brother" I said stopping a few feet away from where he was making him realise I wasn't going to hurt him , he came running towards me and hugged me , I noticed his pain , ever since he found out Haymitch was dead he had been sealing everyone away from him , thinking we'd kill him too , but obviously I wasn't going to do that unless he was an enemy , "Siren , its going to be alright , im staying strong from my Aunt and uncle" I said pulling away from the hug kissing his forehead "Your going to be fine" I managed to stop him crying and encouraged him to be brave , we turn around to see the coffins being lowered in without the lid , I walk over to see Aunt  Prim and Uncle Gale I cried but fought the tears and walked back to the car/
