Chapter 12
"Who?" Agustus asked. "Him." I looked again and he wasn't there. I could see the end of his cloak disappearing in the doorway. Just then, the three minute buzzer wrang. I climed of the stage, and ignored Bailey's arms. "Sorry, gotta go!" I threw my high-heels on the ground and ran after the guy. My bear feet could feel the coldness of the ground, saw Lily, and smiled. I sprinted after the guy. Once I finally caught him, I realized where we were. In my room. "What are you doing in here. Come out from where you are." I turn around and see the man I was looking for sitting on my bed. "You look just like her." I realize he was looking at a picture on his watch. A lady. The same one I remember from my dreams. "You, but-but, how?"
I was looking at my father.
"Come and sit down with me." I look at him more and sit next to him. "I thought you were dead." I say. "After so many years, my memory washed out, only remembering little bits and pieces of things. You left me all alone with that retched girl, Maple. I liked my life before that. When I was with you and Mom. Why did you leave me there?" I started crying. "Paylor, Me and your mother met in the games. I found my way out of the arena just to be with her. After she was a victor, I had to change my name and last-name so no-one would know it was me. Except for your mother, her parents, my parents and me. We got married and had you. When she got picked again for the games, she was pregnant with Nico, your little brother. We had to wipe out your memory so you wouldn't remember any of the things from when you were little. When your mom died, Nico was still alive, and I had to give him to another family, Raven's. One of my sisters, who had moved to District 11, accepted you and acted as your mother because she also had just had a child. I wanted you to have a safe life. It's okay for you to be mad at me. I understand..." My arms wrapped around him. His body tensed, then relaxed. His hand went on my back as I continued to weep. I suddenly realized how sleepy I was. "I love you Paylor," He whispered in my ear as he left me in my bed. As I lay down and just as I started to fall asleep, he crept out the door and closed it quietly.
. . .
"Bailey Scott!, What were you thinking?!?!" I woke groggily to the sound of Lily screaming at Bailey. "You messed up Mother's plan!" Lily was stomping towards Bailey's room. I peeped out the crack of my door. Bailey opened his door and Lily slapped Bailey across the face. "What is all of this about?" asked Saturn coming out of his room with thick green paste on his face. "Nothing Saturn. Go back to sleep." Saturn closed his door and Lily turned back to Bailey. Lily slapped him again on the face and stormed off. "What was that about?" I asked Bailey. "Nothing. Never get your older sister mad." He had mumbled the last part, but I had heard it right. I pretended I didn't hear him and went to the dining hall.
Lily was sitting in a chair, her head drooping. There were rolls, and hot chocolate waiting on the table. "Good morning," she grumbled. "Didn't sleep, did you?" I asked her. "Nope. Speaking with my Mother all night about the Interviews," "How did Bailey do?" "Horribly." "I think I'll pass on breakfast." "Great." "Hey Lily," I ask, "I haven't asked you about how to survive the games." I wait a few seconds for Lily to answer. "Well, don't be in any relationship's with anyone, because you may have to kill them at some point." "Thanks." I ate in silence. When Bailey came over, he had a small smile on his face. He kissed me on the cheek, remorsefully. He ate one chocolate muffin, checked his watch, then he ran back to his room.
Feeling mischievous, I ran to surprise him. I reached his room and heard an odd noise. The door was a bit open, so I peeked through it.
What I saw surprised me a lot. I could never un-see this. Inside Bailey's room, was the girl from District 2, Crystal, and Bailey, who were on the bed, kissing each other passionately and embracing each other tightly. I turned in disgust, my mind racing. This is the starting of the Hunger Games! Why would Bailey do this?! My mind started answering my own questions. Because he's the son of the president! My mind was answering. If Bailey likes Crystal so much that why did he kiss me at break fast? Because he is an idiot a two timer. Why do I like Bailey so much! All you are is jealous. Jealousy. Was that really how I felt? I shook my head to clear my thoughts. I raced to the telephone. I called the District 2 floor. A cold voice answered the call. "Hello," I said, "Is Crystal here?" "No" And the responder hung up. We had no idea on what to write there. :) I hung out for the rest of the day with friends, chatting about alliances, and friendships. We decided to do dinner on the roof again. As I went down to pick up my dinner and I bumped into Saturn and Lily. They both gave me a stare of sadness and told me, "You're leaving tomorrow." "Leaving whe..." I gasped. I was to go to the Hunger Games, in 24 hours. I was to kill my friends or die tomorrow. Tears in my eyes, I collected my dinner and ran to the roof, where I met my friends.
We didn't talk much at dinner. We just stared at each other, and were lost in thought. Finally, Kym said, "We form two alliances." We all looked at her. "Careers, in one and the other in the second." we try to kill everybody else. Then we form one alliance and decide who will be leaving the games victorious and who won't. Fenn nodded. We all looked at him. His dark eyes bore into mine. Raven put her face into her hands and cried, "It was nice meeting you guys." Zoe started sobbing onto Nico's shoulder and Kym and Kayla had tears in their eyes. Fenn grabbed my hand and squeezed it. He pulled my hand to his face and kissed it. Then I realized what this felt like. It was like a reunion. I was spending time with my real family. Each person was apart of me. Kym and Kayla my eyes. Zoe, my mind. Nico, my arms. Raven my legs. And Fenn, my heart and soul.
Did you like this sad chapter. Hehe. we are evil. Sorry it took so long to post. We were stuck on what to write after the Bailey Crystal thing. Sorry for the Short Chapter.
