"No" I whisper. I fall on my knees, and lay Rue's head my lap.
"Sing me a song" she asks.
"I, I can't. I'll get" killed. Thats the word. But she is dying "o, ok.
Are you, are you, coming to the tree
They strung up a man
They say who murdered three
Strange things did happen here" she closes her eyes"
No stranger would it be
If we met, at mid-night in the hanging tree" I finish the first verse. I don't know to continue or not. I look at Rue, she nodds"
Are you, are you coming to the tree
Where the dead man called out for his love to flee
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met, at mid-night in the hanging tree" I skip a verse"
Are you, are you coming to the tree
Wear a necklace of rope
Side-by-side with me
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met, at mid-night" Rue closes her eyes"
In" she breaths really lightly "the" she is just about not breathing at all" hanging tree" she stops breathing. I wait 5 minutes.
I stand up, silence every where. I look around. There are daisys every where. I pick all of them, and make a daisy hat for Rue. Tears stroll down my face like a salty waterfall.
I walk away, then stop. I turn around. I put my 3 middle fingers to my mouth, then I put them in the air. I can feel the capitol getting angry with me, murmuring to President Snow how they were going to kill me. "WHY DID TOU CREATE THESE STUPID GAMES!?" I yell out "YOU ARE KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE!" I turn around, and see a camera in a tree. I walk towards it. I can hear it zooming in and out on me. I do the one thing I can think of:
I put the rude finger up at it.
