Katniss closed her eyes. Some part of her didn't think she would survive this one and almost all of her hoped she wouldn't. She had dragged her body through the streets and the underground of the Capitol and watched people she grew to care about die. It was all just the Games. No one ever really escaped the Games. Don't make friends because they'll die, don't depend on anyone but yourself. How else are you going to survive? Holding her breath didn't stop the heat and smoke of the explosion from forcing its way into her lungs and it was all she could do to run a foot forward before the power of it started to push her back. Katniss couldn't stop herself from remembering the first explosion that hit her, how it made her deaf, the disorientation almost as bad as when she was dehydrated. Things like that were hard to forget, but somehow, worse things happened to her since then. "Prim!" Katniss opened her eyes. There was nothing there. Nothing that she expected anyway. There was no fire, no rubble, no soldiers or bloody bodies, no kids, no silver parachutes attached to little boxes. Snow wasn't here. This wasn't the Capitol. Where was she? Straightening herself out, Katniss took a deep breath and looked around. What if this was all in her head? What if she was being hijacked like they did to Peeta? Was this what it felt like? Or did she lose the last of her sanity? Did she make it out of the sewers? Or was she still in Thirteen? Or the Quarter Quell? Did she really take those nightlock berries at the end of her first Games and none of what happened after was real? "My name is Katniss Everdeen. I am 17 years old," she repeated to herself, feeling a panic attack coming on. |
