Hi guys hope you enjoy reading this story, I actually wrote it like a year ago. I am currently writing a new story but it is not a fanfiction so I have posted it on wattpad. It is called 'Lovers' The link is:
story/38216533-lovers (Just add w w w . to the front without spaces or click the link in my bio fanfiction doesn't let you post this links in stories)
I believe in love. And I believe that there are different types of love, and therefore different types of lovers. I don't mean lovers as in sexual partners, but as one soul separated up until the day the two bodies meet again. Not all kinds of lovers are good, there are selfish lovers, there are possessive lovers, there are jealous lovers, and there are hopeless lovers but the worst kinds of lovers, are almost lovers, because almost lovers always hurt you and they almost always hurt you more than the real ones. Please don't just be an almost lover.
(By the way the writing in my new story is a lot better than this one but this does improve as it goes)
It would be brilliant if you read it, if not just continue and enjoy this book, thanks!
They run at me swords, knives, maces and spears in hand. I have nowhere to go, I am already too tired. They are gaining on me and I trip. The one with the brown hair laughs, they all laugh. I curl up in a ball. The one with brown hair lifts his sword high, and then quickly he brings it down on me./p
"I wake up panting and crying. I squeeze my cat buttercup to my chest. He purrs calming me down. I consider waking up Katniss but she has to get up early to go with Gale anyway.
"I get out of our bed and walk over to mum. I get in bed with her, and bring Buttercup with me.
"I found Buttercup when he was only a kitten. I was walking home when I saw him. He looked so sad and sick I couldn't possibly leave him. So I picked him up and brought him home. I named him buttercup because his yellow coat is just like the flower. When I arrived home Katniss didn't want to keep him. She even tried to drown him.
But I begged and cried and finally was allowed to keep him. Mum got rid of the worms in his stomach with some medicine she made from herbs.
"Mum and I are the apothecary in the Seam. If someone is inured and their family can't afford a doctor they come to us.
I try to sleep but I can't. I walk over to the dusty little old table where we keep the book that has what berries are safe and what are not, in it. Whenever I am sad or scared I read it and look at the beautiful detailed pictures that dad and Katniss have drawn in it.
I mostly read it for dad though because he died in a mining accident years ago. I still remember waiting at the sight of the explosion and watching all the other families become relieved when there husband, brother or father came out, but my daddy never did.
With my fingers I slowly trace his paintings and drawings. It makes me feel happy. That feeling of happiness is quickly taken away from me when I remember what day it is. Today is the reaping. My first reaping. I hold Buttercup closer, and I continue to flick through the berry book. All the reading makes my eyes feel heavy so, I go and cuddle up with mum.
When I wake up I can see rays of sun coming in through the window. I look over to mum and notice she is gone.
She is already up and cooking something, a stew maybe.
There is a tub of boiled water waiting for me. I get in and scrub myself down. Then when I get out I find laid out on the bed a skirt with a ruffled blouse.
When I put it on though it is too big. "It's too big," I call to my mother.
"That's alright I will fix it with some pins," she replies walking over to me. She reaches down into a draw and pulls them out.
"Thank you," I say but barely audible. Mum does the pins and does a really good job but a bit at the back just won't stay.
Mum and I wait for Katniss in silence. I can't stop thinking about how likely it is for Katniss to have her name picked out. I know that my name is in there only once and as Katniss says it is very very unlikely I will get picked but I am still scared.
Not too much later, Katniss comes home. Katniss goes in the bathroom washes herself in the tub of water then gets changed.
I walk over to her "You look beautiful."
"And nothing like myself," Katniss says. Katniss then hugs me, I hug her back.
"Tuck your tail in, little duck," she says as she fixes it. I giggle and give her a "Quack."
"Quack yourself," She says laughing. "Come on, let's eat," katniss says before giving me a kiss on my head.
For breakfast we have my goat, Lady's milk and some bread made from the tessera. I got my goat from Katniss one year for my birthday. I can still remember how happy I felt when she and Gale walked in with it. She even had a bow on.
We eat but I am having a hard time at this I am so nervous. I try my hardest not to cry though, because then Katniss will worry and that's not fair. She has her name in so many times; she has enough to think about.
We go to the square at one o'clock. It is a big place, and with all the people, and cameras and the stage, it is scary. Everyone signs in, and then goes into their places. We are separated by age, so I can't be with Katniss.
I am at the back which makes me feel safer, further away from the stage where the people can cause you definite death are.
Up on the stage are three chairs, and two glass balls. Filling the chairs are Effie Trinket, she dresses weird like the other Capitol people. Mayor Undersee he is a tall bald man. At exactly two o'clock Mayor Undersee walks up to the podium.
He talks to us about the hunger games about why we are here.
He tells us how we are a country that rose up from the ashes together. He lists the disasters, the droughts, the storms, the fires, the massive sea's that swallowed up much of North America then the brutal war that followed in result of little sustenance.
The result was Panem, a capitol ringed by thirteen districts. Then came the dark days, the uprising of all the districts against the capitol twelve were defeated, the thirteenth blown up.
The treaty of treason is there to ensure peace and no more uprisings, but it also brought the hunger games which is why we are here today.
The rules well there aren't really that many are: Each district must provide one girl and one boy from the age of twelve to eighteen to enter the hunger games these kids are called tributes. They are then put in an outdoor arena to fight to the death; that's the scary bit.
I look towards the glass ball. Katniss's name is in there twenty times and mine once. What if Effie Trinket picks one of us.
The Mayor then reads out a past list of district twelve victors. It is quick though because there are only two.
The only one alive he is called Haymitch Abernathy, he is always drunk though.
Around about the moment his name is called he walks up and onto the stage. He falls into his chair filling the third chair.
The Mayor then calls over Effie Trinket. Effie walks over to the glass ball looking very happy, it is almost disturbing. "Happy Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favour."
I swallow hard and I can feel myself starting to break a sweat.
She starts talking about how honoured she is to be here but I know she doesn't want to be here she would prefer a 'better district'.
"Ladies first," she says. I have butterflies in my stomach and I am sweating. My breathing is becoming rapid. Effie puts her hand in the glass ball. She pulls out a slip and waves it in the air.
She goes back over to the podium and smooth's it out and then she reads out the name.
"Primrose Everdeen."
