Chapter 9
Rush and Training
“Rush, Fern” I ran forward and pulled them into hugs, before remembering where I was I pulled away and faced Snow.
“Why are they here?”
“My granddaughter wanted some people to play with at home and I found these two from district 12 and thought they would be perfect” Snow smirked
“Why did you summon me here” I asked
“I want you to choose your brother or your sister”
Shot hit me like the force of bullet. “You want me to choose”
“If you don’t I will” Snow said
“I won’t” I shook my head.
“I thought you wouldn’t” Snow laughed before looking at the Peacekeeper and nodded.
The peacekeepers grabbed Fern and dragged her from the room.
“Fern” Rush cried and made to run after her
I grabbed my little brother by the arms and pulled him back, as I heard Fern scream and the echo of a gunshot.
“Fern” Rush sobbed
I lifted him up and he wrapped his legs around my waist, his arms clinging to my neck.
“Let us go please” I pleaded
“Just this once” Snow nodded at the door and I took it for a sign of dismissal.
Peeta P.O.V
Katniss and I walked back in from our first day of training to find Alex on the couch staring at the blank wall.
“Alexandra what’s wrong” Katniss frowned
There was a sharp scream and cry “FERN”
Alexandra leapt to her feet and dashed to her room coming back seconds later a little boy with jet black hair and grey eyes. I recognised him as Alex’s adoptive brother, Rush.
“Why is he here” Katniss frowned
“As your mentor and friend shut up and go to bed” Alexandra snapped
Katniss looked like she was ready to murder Alexandra, so I grabbed her arm trying to brush off the electric shots from contact with her bare skin; I gently pulled her into the next room.
Rush P.O.V
My eyes flickered open, someone had their arm curled around my waist pulling me into their stomach, and blonde hair tickled my face.
I looked upwards slightly and saw Alexandra sleeping; she looked so peaceful, so quiet, gentle even.
“She looks so innocent doesn’t she” A voice asked
I jumped slightly and looked up to see Peeta, Alex’s real brother.
“Yeah but she’s the devil when she wakes” I laughed
“That I can agree on” Peeta chuckled
Alex moaned in her sleep and rolled over causing me to fall to the floor. I looked up at Peeta to see him holding out his hand “Want some breakfast”
I grinned nervously and grabbed his hand and we walked down to breakfast.
Alexandra P.O.V
I woke up with a little gasp the image of Sparkles dead body flashing in my mind.
I looked around for Rush and found him not in the room. Panic flooded me where was he, had the peace keepers taken him in the night.
