"P ROMISE ME!!” Brienne had yelled, desperately, as she had watched the door close slowly behind them“I PROMISE!” I promise… Gabrielle thought, hugging buddy tightly to her chest as tears welled in her eyes as she sat, shoved between two complete strangers, in a car onto the way to the train station. She had never been in a car before, not many people had in District 6. Only really the mayor had a car, and even then it was rarely seen. Gabrielle should have been excited, but all she felt was a mix of sadness and guilt. Sadness that she would not be able to return Buddy to her sister and guilt..guilt for making that promise. She hated making promises she knew she wouldn’t be able to keep. Gabrielle looked up from her lap as the car pulled to a stop outside the train station. She had been here once before, what seemed like a long time ago. She had stood, waiting on the platform for the train that would return her sister; today she would be getting on one of those trains to head to the Capitol. Her hands shook, clutching at Buddy as she climbed from the car. It was too late to turn back, but she glanced over her shoulder anyway at District 6, at her home, for one last glance before she stepped onto the train. She turned back to the door of the train, looking up at the sky at a passing cloud, before she looked dead ahead of her and stepping through the doorway. The train was, extravagant, and she should have gasped in shock but Gabrielle was always modest when it came to anything that wowed her- unless it was her sister- so she kept quiet, her eyes gazing around as she slowly walked to take a seat on a long, red couch which was pushed up against the wall. She sunk down into the cushions, letting out a quiet sigh as she looked up at the chandelier that hung from the ceiling. She kept quiet for a moment before she spoke, softly, mainly to herself “I can’t believe it…” |
