New body, Old soul

Chapter 2

Sorry for the lack of posts. Summer got me busy and soon school begins :( Don't get me started on that!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Welcome! Welcome!" Their headmistress said as she escorted the students in the big gym. Narissa was pushed by the people around her, even though she was used to being invisible and just being pushed she couldn't help feeling small. She managed to find a seat, though next to the students in her age. They were all with friends, groups, talking, gossiping and making her feel even smaller. Sage had sit to a seat near her friends, forgetting completely about Narissa. At least she wished that the older one had forgotten her.

The big gym of the high school of district twelve was indeed big to fit more than a thousand pupils. The lights slowly started fading out and the small formed woman walked up in the stage, her heel clicking the one after the other on the wooden stage.

Their headmistress was a thin, small formed woman around her fourties. The way she was dressed though it was more comical than pleasant. Narissa could only make out a single thought by watching her;

'A unicorn threw up on her'

Her hair- obviously wig- was a bright orange that did not quite fit with her green onesie- that was slightly too long for her legs, covering them completely.

"My name is Magy Abernathy" a high pitch voice said, like a bird's. Well, an annoying bird's. Her voice was not heard loud enough and a few murmurs started from behind. The woman was not tall enough for the microphone to reach her mouth. She pressed her red lips together but then given and wide smile to the students. "And I am your headmistress!" she added excitedly, while rejusting the microphone so all the gym would hear her.

"Happy new year to all of you my precious little pearls, and of course, the new students we will have this year. District twelve is such an welcoming district!" she added and Narissa had to physically stop herself from rolling her eyes. Since she had gotten there the only welcoming thing she had seen was Sage.

And she was quite annoying for her taste.

Magy started walking away from the stage, he hells clicking the one behind the other but then like she forgot to say something really important she returned quickly to the microphone.

"Oh, and of course, how did I forgot it" she said hitting her forehead, carefully so her neat make up wouldn't be ruined

"May the odds be ever in your favour"

Narissa for a moment stared at the stage. Her mind was blank. Her gaze unfocused.

She could feel the little breeze moving from her toes to her knees and higher to her thighs.

The breeze changed. Became a more violent wind. Making her legs start shaking. The youngsters around her were casting her glances, and whispering things about her. She couldn't stop it though. That one sentence made her whole body tremble and then she went limb.

Her muscles were burning but she couldn't help it. She stretched her legs but kicked the chair of the guy in front of her. She murmured a tired apologize and kept her eyes on the stage, shaking her head, and trying to shake off the feeing with it.

"Well... I brought a tape. All the way from the Capitol!" the small woman said, faking a gasp. The older students groaned in protest, obviously they had seen this tape too many times and they didn't want to watch it again.

The first graders shifted in front, wanting to watch it, interested about this weird tape from the Capitol.

And it started...

Quickly it started summarizing twelve's story. During the dark day. During the rebellion and how two kids- sixteen years old both- overpowered the great power of the Capitol, bringing equality again in Panem.

Narissa's eyes are only able to take glimpse of their faces. Only two pairs of glowing eyes.

Grey and blue.

They follow her as she closes her eyes shut. Her body trembles furiously and she presses her lips together, grinds her teeth and tries to choke behind the sounds of pain and fear that escape her throat and chest. She is sure that the people around her are watching her but the tears that stream hot down her cheeks are bringing her to exhaustion.

The burning on her muscles is turning into fire and she feels her body and mind on fire.

She moans on pain and pushes her fist against her stomach. Her other hand having white knuckled grip on the arm of the pastic chair.

She doesn't realize that she has fallen from her chair, gripping her head between her hands tightly, pulling on her hair. She screams at the top of her lungs, trying to scream the pain out of her.

A pair of strong arms encircle her and she feels her body burning. Fire the burn brighter and stronger in the darkness of her.

She fights back the nightmares and the voices in hr head that say incompetent things. She cries out for her and her eyes open for a moment and she returns in reality for just a second.

It's like her whole body is being washed with ice cold water as her brown eyes meet with his green ones.

'To die with a final glance'

She hears the whispers in head clearer now but she managed to catch only one sentence before the fire that comes from her chest makes her body tighten.

She feels like an invisible hand is trying to pull her heart and she screams.

Screams for help

Screams in pain

And then everything goes black
