It never changed. All that was left was a body of a broken boy who fought so hard to return home, yet it wasn't enough. Year after year I've watched as people gathered in the square begging to never hear their name, and sometimes people are lucky. Storm wasn't so lucky. He was called upon the stage. He went into the arena, and has been gone ever since. It was a tragic day. One I wouldn't ever forget. One that always lingered in the back of my mind especially on reaping days. It's on these days that all I can see is him making his way towards the stage with each shaky step. He died, and he almost took me with him, and I should've joined him when I had the chance, yet Taurus stepped in.
He's cared for me. He's given me my life back. He's saved me when nobody else would've. He's even killed for me. I'll never forget the night he carried me to safety, but he was taken away, and it felt like an entire lifetime had gone by, however, I found him again. He's alive. Safe. They didn't kill him, they didn't send him to the Capitol. No, they let him come home.But now he's standing on the stage. He was ripped from my grasp by the peacekeepers once again. The Capitol hates him. They don't want me to have someone to hold onto. Someone to talk to. Someone who will read me stories like Storm did, but his words linger in my mind. Don't watch the games. Don't watch the games.
How could I not watch them when he's sent to his death like Storm?
Tiny fingers wrap around the bell he gave me. The one we found beneath the leaves, and I remember what he said. Each breath grows tighter and tighter, and all I want to do is curl up in a ball in the middle of the district square and cry, but I push myself forward fighting against the demons inside. I won't cry. I won't cry. I won't...cry. Each step feels like an eternity, and I want it to never end. I don't want it to go away. I want to go back to the leaves and stay there forever with him.
But I can't.
Step by step I'm lead through the justice building until I find his room. The peacekeepers are talking. They're telling me something, but I don't hear them because of the ringing in my ears. It's loud. So loud. Tears fall freely down my face. Violent sobs fill the air around me. Taurus is going away. He's going away just like Storm. Just like Jabber. Neither of them returned home. They didn't make it. Storm and Jabber. It wasn't right, and now I'm here again. Trapped in the same room with the walls closing in around me. My entire world is falling apart. They're tearing me into pieces. Gripping the bell tighter, I hold it against my skin. I fight against the fears and the demons, yet before I can open the door, I find myself ringing the bell begging for him to find me. To save me.
He promised. He promised he'd be here. He promised he'd save me. He promised.
Taurus save me.
