I woke up in my bed, with Chriva, Blaron, Ilignma, and Grifly sleeping by my side. They look tired, groggy even. I want to ask them why, but my tummy is painful, I can’t breathe, and my voice is crooked. When Chriva noticed that I was awake, she motioned for everyone to wake up.

“You okay, kid?” says Grifly. He’s in his pajamas, which looked like work clothes made of cotton, and he’s literally glowing, with shiny glitters in his body. Kinda reminds me of our district costume.

I nod, and their sad faces reveal that there is something wrong with me.

“Is something wrong?” I managed to say, and after it I gasped for air. Blaron gave me water, with an awkward expression in his face.

“Emilia, have you and Marvel did it?” Chriva said, stern and strong.

“It?” I asked, still confused.

“Emilia honey, you are pregnant.” Ilignma said.

I was taken aback, then I analyzed it all. The baby. We will be twenty five in the arena. I will be protecting me and my baby. If I will die, so does my baby. My baby. It can’t be…

I can’t understand why it is happening, and everything just stayed quiet and lonely. I wanted them to burst out laughing and say ‘Nah just kidding, you have hay fever’ or something like that, but nothing.

I cried. Cried for a lot of hours. They comforted me at first, but they got tired and just left me, murmuring alone. I might be insane.

Marvel came in, and the minute he saw me, he bursts into tears.

“I am so sorry Emi, it’s just that, I just love you so much!I’m sorry, you shouldn’t be experiencing this, sorry for it, I am so sorry. Sorry Emi, please forgive me, I love you.”

“Marvel…”

“I am going to protect you and our baby. You will be the victor. And even if I die doing so, I still will.”

“Marvel, everything’s different now. We can never be sure our baby will survive even though I live. It’s hard Marvel. Really hard.” I croaked. This feeling’s so unnatural, it feels like the games have begun. And it ain’t pretty.
