The hunger games continued

Chapter 20-the replacement

I wake in a strange room with white walls, a white roof and a white bed, I sit up and find a whole lot of wires and tubes sticking into me, I look down and pull them out, I swing my legs out of bed and a searing pain spreads through me, I wince then stand up, I see that I am wearing a hospital gown, what has happened where is my mom? I find a door and muster all of my strength to push it open, I walk out into a corridor which is just as white as the small room I was just in, "miss, I'm going to have to ask you to go back to your room" a kind voice behind me says, I turn to face the source and am met by a young woman, not much older than me, her brown hair is pulled back into a bun with small wisps of hair surrounding her face, "what?" I ask, "you have to go back to your room"

"Where is my mom?" I ask frantically, "miss, please come back to your room" she says sternly, "I want my mom!" I shout, she pulls out a whistle and blows it hard, a large group of doctors and nurses come and hold me down whilst I thrash and scream, a sharp pain stabs at my neck and the next thing I know I am back in the white bed in the white room, "hey" says a small voice next to me, I look to my right and see my small sister sitting scrunched up in a chair, "hi" I say back, startled by how small my voice is, "where am I?"

"In the Capitol hospital"

"Why?" her chin starts to tremble, "the train you where in exploded, you and the strange Capitol lady where the only survivors"

"Not mom?" I ask, tears slipping out of the corner of my eyes, "no" she whispers, tears slipping down her own face, I turn away from her, shutting my eyes, trying not to think about what my baby sister had just said, then a terrifying thought popped into my head, "why are you here?" I ask, trying to keep my voice as steady as possible, "I'm here to take moms place in the games, I'm her replacement" I stare at her, my mouth open in terror, "why? why you?"

"She volunteered for me, remember, I was going to have to go into the games anyway" this has been a day of terror and heartbreak, but I knew it was going to get worse, much worse.
