Kayla
The games only lasted 4 days, pretty much everyone died from the cold. I managed to keep myself warm by drinking plenty of soup. Everyone told me to stop wasting it but I knew better. I couldn't care less that I won though, we can't find Brianna and Clove and Cato have been kidnapped by the Capitol.
I sit in my room and cry most days, sometimes I go and throw knives and spears but apart from that, nothing. Isabelle especially tries to comfort me although she is just as upset as I am. That stupid Capitol killed Primrose and Ryan right in front of Cato's family. Jay spends most of his time crying into Isabelle's arms under some tree. People tell me that Clove and Cato and dead, so I Brianna probably but, I believe that they are alive...somewhere.
As well as this, I'm refusing to eat. I'm not doing it purposely, I'm just I'm a daze all day and night. Nothing would probably change if I held my breath. Mother and father force me to go to the training centre everyday to release anger and unwanted energy. So, here I am sitting on a bench, crying, holding a knife to my wrist.
"Don't even think about it", says a voice, "Put down the knife".
"Xander? What do you want?", I mumble.
"I'm not going to let you do this. Drop the knife and come with me", he orders.
"How do I know your not an ax murderer?", I joke although you never know...
"Sometimes you just gotta take risks Kayla", he laughs as I gather up my things.
He brings me to a lake surrounded by willow trees.
"I always come here whenever I need time to myself", he tells me, "Now you can come here too".
"Don't try to be nice, I'm not in the mood", I snap.
"Keep your frilly dress on!".
"We both know I don't do frilly stuff anymore".
"I miss that Kayla. The one that was nice".
"It's kinda hard when your life is falling apart".
"Yeah well so is mine. How do you think I feel, Snow is my dad's uncle. You have no idea how bad I feel".
"Why would you feel bad?".
"Because I'm related to that idiot of a man! He has Cato and Clove locked up in some cell in the Capitol", he curses.
