The Girl With The Healing Touch (Hunger Games Fanfiction)

Chapter 2

"Primrose Everdeen!" Effie says,

I quiver in fear when reality punches me in the face and I realise it's my name,

"Now come on up dear!"

I slowly make my way up to the stage, the people that I pass giving me looks of sorrow,

Then in the crowed of 16 year old girls there is a body lying on the ground unconscious,

Then I realise it's my sister,

Katniss.

"Any volunteers?" Effie says into the microphone,

The crowed is silent

I try to hold back the tears but one slid past and is trailing down my cheek,

"Now, for the boys," Effie says,

"Gale Hawthorne!"

Gale is Rory's older brother,

Gale walks up onto the stage, the air is thence around him,

"Any volunteers?" Effie asks into the microphone,

"I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE!" A small familiar voice says,

As he comes out of the 12 year old boys section, I realise who it is,

It's my best friend Rory.

"Rory no!" I scream,

Everyone is looking at me but I don't care,

"Now what's your name sweety?" Effie asks Rory,

"Rory, Rory Hawthorne," he replies,

"Now give a clap for the brave warriors!" Effie says,

I see Katniss has regained consciousness and her face is riddled with sadness and fear,

Her eyes welling up with tears,

She touches three fingers to her lips and holds them into the air,

And soon the whole crowd is doing it,

Then Rory and I are escorted be Peacekeeper, and separated into to rooms,

The room is lined with red velvet,

There is a fancy couch and a coffee table,

The door opens and a Peacekeeper leads Katniss and my mother in,

"5 minutes" the Peace keeper says,

As soon as Katniss enters the room she embraces me in a hug,

My mother stands behind Katniss,

"Prim, no!" Katniss says sobbing in my ear,

I start crying too,

"Prim your good with medicine uses that to your ability," Katniss says, still crying,

"I will Katniss I will," I say

Then we sit together to the couch chatting for the next five minutes,

The door opens and Peacekeepers drag Katniss and my mother out of the room,

For the next minute I stare at the patterns in the walls,

Then the door opens and Madge, my sisters best friend comes in,

She sits down on the couch next to me,

"Hey Prim, I'm so sorry that you got picked" she says, a tear trailing down her face,

I stay quiet,

"They let you wear one thing from your district in the arena. One thing to remind you of home. Will you wear this?" She says and she hands me a gold pin with some sort of bird on it,

" it's a mockingjay" she says,

"I will" I reply,

She hugs me and leaves,

Now I'm sitting in a room all along wondering what will happen to me.

There is a knock on the door and Effie walks in,

"Come along darlings," she says

"Time to go to the train!"

She rushes me out the door and into a car,

I sit next to the window, Effie in the middle and Rory on the other side,

Rory is showing no emotion,

I start crying again as I see District 12 disappear behind me,

We arrive at the train station and board the train,

Effie escorts us down a hallway and into a room lined with table covered in all sorts of foods, sweets, pastries and others.

I sit in a chair next to Rory, Effie sits across from us,

A drunk man with medium dirty blonde hair shudders in, tripping over his own feet,

"Heymitch, come here these are the kids that you'll be mentoring," Effie says cheerfully,

That is the person that is mentoring us, great.

Heymitch comes and sits in the chair next to Effie,

"So you got any advice?" Rory asks,

Heymitch gets up and goes over to the table of liquor,

"Here's some advice," Heymitch says as he pours some sort of foul smell liquid into his cup, "Stay Alive."

Is this some sort of joke?

"Seriously," Rory says as he gets up out of hugs seat and makes his way over to Heymitch,"Is this a joke?"

"Hold it there sweetheart, don't rush me," Heymitch says drunkly,

"I'm going to go finish this in my room." Heymitch says as he leaves the room,

"I'm going to talk to him." Rory says, leaving the room.

"I'm going to my room" I say and leave the room without a sound.
