Secret Suprise In The Games

Short Reunion

Ruby's POV

I could not stop sobbing uncontrollably, things where happening around me but I was oblivious to it all. People tried to tell me things and comfort me but nothing could ever take the pain away.

Peacekeepers picked me up and carried me to some dark room. A lady was saying something to me but it was just blurred with the noise inside my head.

Suddenly all was dark and I was alone in the room, the only noise was my cries echoing off the walls. Where was I, where am I going, what are they going to do to me?

I was wet all over from how much I was crying. I didn't care, my heart was ripped in two. I could never fight in the Hunger Games. I was stripped of everyone I cared about, everyone I loved, and what for a Game of Death for the Capital's amusement.

Slowly light began to fill the small room, I started to cry again my sides were beginning to hurt from so much grieving. I was probably headed to the Capital away from everything that I held dear.

"Ruby" a familiar voice rang the silence.

I turned around and saw him blurry through my flood of tears, but I could recognize that face from across an entire ocean.

It was Clifton.

I ran over to him and threw my arms and legs around him and buried my face of tears into his shoulder shedding joyful and sad filled tears.

At first, he seemed a little surprised at my sudden leap of action and thought I might have made him lose his balance but he quickly regained it and wrapped his big loving arms around me.

We were standing there until he gently put me down and made me look into those kind mournful eyes.

He mumbled, "Ruby, I love you and I always will, no matter whatever happens to you I will be there for you even if we can not be together."

His voice was shaky with sadness, and I could tell he was on the verge of crying. I knew he was trying to be strong for me but I can imagine he was going through the same pain as me, but he was doing a better job of keeping his composer.

"Clifton, am so scared, I can't do this anymore. There is no way I can fight or kill people and win" My voice being broken by sobs. I could share everything with him; he was like my soulmate.

"I can't tell you it will all be okay because it won't be, but you can do it, I believe in you. At least fight for me will you." Clifton said through soft, calm words.

I could start to see tears forming in his eyes and he tilted his head to the side to hide it, but I still saw them.

"I will try, for you." I struggled to say. Then again my eyes began to fill with tears.

"Aww, Ruby don't cry. I am here right now" he spoke in the most sweetest voice that I have ever heard.

"I am sorry I just can't help it, it hurts too much." I said almost bursting out in sobs.

"I know Ruby, I know Ruby. Come here, I want to give you one last hug." He stated longingly.

He then wrapped me in a tight hug. I was standing there wrapped in his arms and sobbing in his should.

This is how we were to spend our last moments together.

We held on to each other not wanting to let go in fear that it would end this moment and we were to be strip apart away from each other which we both knew would happen sometime. We both knew that this was the last time that we would ever be together, and it was the most bitter sweet moment that I wished would never end.
