The Hunger Games Fanfic!

Chapter 4 Last glance until the Games

I'm directed into a room. I recognise it from last year. It was the last place I ever saw Katniss. I gave her the lucky mockingjay pin there. I guess it's not so lucky after all. This is the first time I've ever taught of it since then.

"You have a visitor." moans one of the peacekeepers. Rosalyn rushes in, mother and Gale following her. She hits into me, nearly toppling me over. "You are an idiot! You just had to do that. I can defend myself. Why Prim? You have to win okay, okay?" she mutters, through tears, squeezing the air out of me, almost throwing herself over my shoulder, leaving it ache. "It's okay, Rosa, I will win it, for you." I promised, knowing that this promise will only be shattered to pieces.

"Oh mum!" I reach out for a hug but she backs away. She can't even look at me. She just stares at the floor. Gale becomes a wall in between us. "You can do this. Remember last year I taught you the basics. Okay, go for a backpack." He stares into my eyes. I cut him of "You should be a mentor." But that gets no remark. He grabs my hand. There is something cold and hard hidden in his palm. "I believe in you, we all believe in you, now it's all down to you."

He leans away leaving the icy figure in my hand. He forces it into a fist. "See you soon" he says as he drags the other two out the double doors only the be locked behind them. I stand there, idle. I carefully release my hand from the tight fist to reveal the mockingjay pin. Where did he get this. Katniss was the last to have it. Did he steal it of her. He did visit her after me that day. Or did she hide it for him. Or even, is Katniss Everdeen alive?

I bury the pin in my pocket. It's probably just another copy of it from the hob. "Miss Everdeen," a cold voice shouts through the doors, "your train awaits."
