Prim Everdeens P.O.V (The Hunger Games)

Chapter 2

"Bye Gale, See you tomorrow morning" Katniss says to Gale as we all walk to the door of the house. Gale carrys on waving breifly before he moves off in the direction of his house. Katniss and I walk into the house as swipe our shoes on the dirt mat. Mother is sitting at the table fumberling about with a bloody cloth. I sigh and sit by her, " Mother, whats this?" She looks me straight in the eye and then begins to cry softly. She points to the door of the Patients room. I stand up and push the wooden chair under the table, Katniss follows me into the room and I nearly scream. A new patient, Her leg is missing and she is pale and cold as I feel her head. I put my hand over her mouth for a second and step back in shock. I put my index finger and middle finger together and then put them to her neck. Shes not breathing. i look down to her leg and see its all blooded up and infected. Shes Dead. 

"Mother shes DEAD" Katniss screams at Mother. I grab Katniss and push her away. She stares at me and I Take mothers shoulders upon my hands. I lean down to mothers height and kiss her cheek. "there was Nothing you could have done mother" I say, looking back to the Patients room. Mother looks up for a moment and then stands up, she walks into the room and begins to wrap up the womans body. "Here let me help" I say, taking some fabric and I wrap her leg and her little bit of other leg. I keep wrapping until i reach her stomach, where mother takes over that. "Thank You Primrose" She smiles. 

"Katniss Please?" Mother begs once again. Katniss shakes her head, "I'm not going to be the one who has to tell that Dead womans family she is dead!" I sigh to Katniss, I push her out the front door. "Come on, I'll come too" I whisper. Katniss and I walk hand in hand across the seam, we walk  up to some people and then nod as we pass them. "Where did she live Prim?" Katniss asks, looking at all the people coming out there houses. "There, she lived there" I say, nodding in the direction of the house. Theres two people standing there, a elderly man and a child about my ages or older. 

"Hello there Prim" Says the old man. He offers us Tea and Biscuits, but we say no. "sir, we believe that your wife was sent to us?"I say, standing near him. He nods. "Well, her leg was that severe, my mother had to cut it off. In the Prosess your wife lost a lot of blood,which my mother could not handle. I was there and My Mother said that it was too horrible to let me see something that bad, so i couldn't help. She suffered in silence. But the real reason were here is to tell you that..." I explain. The I begin to cry. Katniss holds my shoulders calmingly and then she looks into my eyes." That your wife died today Sir." I manage to get it out, but then My voice breaks up before I can say I'm sorry, but Katniss says it for me. 

"Thank you Primrose, and Tell your mother that I will colect the Body tonight....We'll hold the full funeral night...Bring yourselfs" The man tells me and Katniss. I shake his hand and wave to the girl then Katniss nods and i mouth "Sorry" to them both as me and Katniss walk hand in hand away. We arrive home and tell Mother what we and him said. She thanks us and then Katniss goes to our room. I walk out to Lady, my goat and find the old bucket for the milk collection. I begin the milking then Mother comes out to me. I smile to her and she hugs me.I wrap my arms around her and then she steps back and says; " Prim, do you need help with Lady?" I smile and nod I fumble with my braids and then look at mother, milking Lady. She finishes quickly and then walks with the bucket into the house. I follow her into the house and walk to the Kitchen. "thanks Mother" I smile to her and then we begin to make Cheese.
