6.45.

There isn't even the slightest bit of sunshine out yet. My sister sits by my side squeezing my hand whilst quietly sobbing. I might never return to her. With my other hand I smooth out the ruffle in my dark washed jeans and somehow pray that there has been a mix up. That Alpha Chris has made a mistake and will deeply apologize with lavish gifts.

Unlikely.

My eyes flit up to the clock and I gulp as I see I have five more minutes. 5 more minutes of being free. 5 more minutes of being alive.

"Tabby" I say "you will be fine. You have always been strong."

My voice is slightly raspy and I know that it sounds like I'm about to cry.

"Liana" she crys out through her sobs " I love you much. I didn't want you to leave. Please please try to win. Then you can come back with me."

She's breathing to hard and her words are being forced out. I see her hyperventilate and awkwardly I pat her back. Comforting has never been my thing.

"Tabitha Maria Johnson" I grit out " you will do perfectly fine. You will find your mate and I will try my hardest to win those damn games. Please just hug me while we still have time left."

I open my arms and she falls into them. She continues to cry and I almost roll my eyes at her. Here she was the one bawling her eyes out when she wasn't going to the games! I sigh loudly as my fuzzy purple sweater is now soaked in my little sisters tears.

"You won't even be here for my birthday. You won't be here when I turn 18" she whispers and I clench my jaw.

This has been something Tabby and I were so excited about. Usually when you turn 18 you find your mate right after. Me being 21 and mateless was something that hit me personally. I had practically mourned it as if it were a death. Still I managed to survive, over time telling myself the moon goddess must have a reason why. But knowing Tabitha is attractive and mate material I can almost bet she will find someone. Someone to comfort her when I lose the games.

-------------------------------

At 7 sharp Tabby and I hear a soft knock at the door. I pull Tabby out of my lap straighten myself up before walking over. I am greeted by a red haired green eyed women who seems a little too excited about the games. I resist the urge to growl at her and slam the door in her face.

"Caliana!" She squeals holding out her arms as if we were long time friends.

Awkwardly I lightly hug her before stepping back.

"I am so excited to be your stylist. We will become quick friends im sure!"

Doubt it.

"Oh my look at your apartment! It is so cute! The girl last year had such a run down place" she says in exhaust rolling her eyes.

I gulp as I remember the contestants from last year. All were presumed to be dead except a pair of lethal twins. They now reside in the west part of our pack where the rich bathe in never ending money.

"Is this your sister! Hello I am Livia" my sister sniffles before being enveloped into a hug.

I purse my lips and bite my tongue to resist saying something nasty.

"Ah we have to go now would you like to say goodbye?" This time Livia is quiter and I nod my head biting back tears.

I walk over to Tabby staring into her warm sea blue eyes. My fathers eyes. I hold out my arms and she runs into them her honey brown hair hiding her face from my view. Softly her fingers stroke my purple sweater and I can feel her violent sobs. Tabby has always been sensitive.

"Goodbye Liana" she whispers "I love you."
"Goodbye lil sister. I love you Tabitha" gently I kiss her head and walk over to Livia not daring to look back into those blue eyes.

I know if I do I will fall apart and get into a chorus of my own crying. Then in a swift motion I follow behind Livia leaving my sister behind for I presume to be forever.

Sorry if this is sorta boring guys :/

Keep going it will get better I promise!
