A/N: Sorry it's been awhile... This is sort of my "Writers block" story, and I only write it when I have writers block...

thanks for reviewing!

The Avox

Effie tells Peeta and I we did quite well,

Then I go shower to wash out the fiery smell.

We are fed dinner by servers in white,

one, a girl I recognize, but they say I'm not right.

I can't recognize her, she's an avox of coarse.

The crime she committed must have been one of the worst.

So, they cut of her tongue and now she cannot talk.

Effie tells me not to speak to them, it will leave them in shock.

Peeta decides to save the day,

he says the avox looked like a girl from our school, in a way.

I nod in agreement, although this is a lie.

Why Peeta is helping me, I don't know why.

When dinner is over we walk to our rooms,

But Peeta says we should head up to the roof.

He demands to know why he covered for me back there,

And why I recognized the avox, giving her a scare.

I look out at the land below the roof so high,

Wondering if tributes have jumped off, just to die.

Peeta explains there are electric boundaries,

And nobody can do what they please.

Then I begin my story of the avox girl.

Gale and I were hunting, for even just a squirrel.

We saw a boy and girl in the woods running like crazy,

My memory of this is not at all hazy.

I could tell they were from the Capitol.

And I knew they were in trouble.

As I watched from my hiding place, a hovercraft came in sight.

A spear shot through the boy and died without fight.

The girl called for help that I could not give,

For I really did want to live.

Peeta asks if the girl and I locked eyes.

The answer is yes. "No," I lie.

Soon Peeta and I part ways for the night.

Will the avox enjoy watching me die, I wonder with fright
