Her alarm already went off four times, but she knew it wouldn't go off again. Just try, she dared it, but it didn't make a peep, sitting defeated in the corner where it was strewn in seven different pieces. Reaping day. I can't do it, she realized. Not even with Shay mentoring this year. How she'd managed to stay clean while mentoring the year before still seemed like a miracle to Terra, but it wasn't even about that. Her meeting the night before had gone well and she left with a lot of optimism, but those feelings felt like a dream now. No, it wasn't that. It was the feeling like claws inside her ribs and abdomen, pulling her apart. The sweat running down her forehead and the complete and real knowledge that if she went, she would die. Maybe I can just not go. She wasn't mentoring. They were invited to the Capitol to watch the Games, and while victors always accepted the invitation until they were too old not to anymore, it was still just an invitation. Perhaps she could just... not. There, it was decided. And it was good, because she knew there was no way she could get out of the bed without— Miles. There he was, standing in her doorway. Giving a sigh, she scooted over on the bed and gestured to the empty spot. Maybe they could both not go. |
