Chapter 11

75th Hunger Games Reaping

Alex P.O.V

I stood on the stage next to Katniss, I knew what I had to do I was going to volunteer for Katniss if her name was picked, I had to for Prim. Rush would have Haymitch or Katniss or Peeta to look after him if they died he’d have Ms Everdeen.

“Our female tribute is” Effie said in a worried tone “Katniss Everdeen”

I stepped forward and opened my mouth when a strangled cry echoed across the yard.

“Alex”

I looked down to see Rush fighting against Peacekeepers desperate to stop me finishing my sentence.

“I” I started before there was a stabbing pain in my stomach, I grabbed my stomach and pulled m y hand away to show blood, clinging to my hand, I felt the same pain in my head before I let a scream of pain and the world spun black.

Katniss P.O.V

I wasn’t about to let Alex volunteer for me, her brother needed her, he was fighting to get to her side right now, I was about to tell Alex to shut up when Alex whimpered and clutched her stomach, she pulled her hand away to see a red substance dripping of her hands, suddenly blood began to drip down her temple, before Alex gave a scream and fainted.

In a matter of seconds, Peacekeepers had grabbed her and carried her away.

“Anyway our male tribute is Haymitch” before Effie could finished

“I volunteer” Peeta stepped forward

I felt a hollow feeling in my chest.

“You don’t have to do this” Haymitch warned grabbing onto Peeta’s shirt

“But you can’t stop me” Peeta growled before walked over to Effie.

I gulped, I was going back to the games, and Alex was somewhere cuts appearing over her body and worst Peeta were coming back to the games as well.

Alex P.O.V

I opened my eyes; I felt leather around my wrists, ankles and stomach. I stared around; a television was in front of me playing snippets from my games and from Katniss and Peetas by the looks of it, it was from Katniss and Peeta’s memory and my memory.

“Where am I” I frowned and began to struggle against the bonds

“Shush Alex we just need to inject you with something okay” A lady smiled

“No not okay let me go” I growled struggling harder

The lady picked up an empty needle and inserted it into a hole in the televisions side, pulling back on the handle a clear substance with images of the 72nd and 74th hunger games just visible after a crackle of blue electricity shot through the needle.

“No don’t please” I cried, tears began to slip down my face, as the needle’s point went straight into my arm and into a vein.

3rd Person P.O.V

Alexandra’s body jolt upright as the needle’s point sunk into her veins, a piercing scream left her lips as blue light shot up her arm, causing Alexandra’s body to lift up again but her arms and legs keep pinned painfully down to the chair due to the restraints, digging into her flesh, blood leaking from the places the restraints dug into.

“STOP” Alex screamed

The lady simply smiled and injected the whole memory into Alex’s arm.
