Chapter 1: I spring from the bed as the alarm clock on my bedside screams the annoying ringing. "Not the nightmare again." I think. It's been going on for weeks now. Logans lips just linger on mine before he walks away and the forest outside district 12 swallows him, taking him away from me. The scene disintegrates and another appears, my mother rushing towards a train, hand-in-hand with Gale. I'm running after them, the pebbles in the earth making nicks in my feet. Of course, these events are true. My mom, Katniss, ran away with gale when I was six. On my birthday, October 31. Logan kisses me for the last time when I was fourteen. When we were both fourteen. I close my eyes and travel back in time,when I snuck out to meet logan and I was actually happy ~•~•~•~•~ Does it seem good so far?
Update: ~•~•~2 Years Ago~•~•~ "Rose look at me." Logan says, his voice catching in his throat. He's trying not to cry, but I face him in time to see a perfect tear fall down his cheek and to his upper lip. I raise my left hand, the one with the engagement ring, and use my thumb to wipe off another tear that's getting ready to fall. "Hey. I'll be fine." I croak. "No you won't." he responds. He grabs my hand and holds it to his cheek. I know what's goingto happen next. As drops of rain start to fall, Logan wraps his other arm around my waist and pulls me close. As always, I'm afraid he'll go farther. He doesn't, only pulls me in for a long and unforgettable kiss. I slowly wrap my arms around his neck, unsure of how long it's going to last. All I know is that Logans kissing me, I'm kissing back, and it rains harder and harder by the second. "Rose! ROSE!" my friend Alex yells. My father probably sent him. Logan pulls away slowly, although we both know we both want more. His lips linger on mine. "I'll never forget you Rose." he whispers. I run my fingers through his dirty blond hair and look up into his forest green eyes. "And I won't ever forget you Logan." I look down ad start to take off my engagement ring he gave me three weeks before. He places his hands on top of mine. "Keep it. Chances are I'll never give it to another girl." he turns and walks away. After ten steps, he dissappears. Thunder strikes. I fall on my knees knowing I'll never feel his arms around me again, never feel his lips against mine, and never know if he still loves me every time we lock eyes in class. ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ Still In chapter 1
Update (Duh): ~•~•~Present day~•~•~ My eyes tear up at the thought of Logan, but I quickly push him away from my mind, like someone locking away a picture of their dead aunt in a safe. I rub my eyes and something terrible flashes through my mind. "The reapings today." Of all things, why today? Todays Marias, my best friend and Alexs younger sister birthday. No matter what though, every year one of her friends is destined to go into the Hunger Games. Talk about worst birthdays ever. If Alex had to go, I don't think she could go on. "Rose!" I hear Pj, my younger brother bellow. "Ya ya I'm coming you lil brat!" I yell. "If you're asking me, you know who the real brat is." "Fine I'm coming!" I trip over my dark blue lace nightgown as I race downstairs, anxious to get away from thoughts of Logan. Then again, you can't run away from your worst mistake. ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~• I barge into the kitchen. Pj, my dad Peeta (), and Cecila my step-mother sit at a rectangular rosewood table inthe middle of the kitchen, staring at me. I know whatever the situation is, it towards me and it's NOT good.
Update: A tear rolls down my fathers smooth pale face as he stands up. His dark blue eyes that match mine seem to stare into my soul. "Dad? What's going on?" I ask. I look at Pj, but I only get his hair in his face. I look at cecila, and she's smiling. Knowing that Cecila hates my guts and abuses me, the case must involve me getting hurt or killed. Why would my dad be going along with it? "Rose, you know we love you so much, and we would do anything. But times are tough, Leon is winning more competitions." father says. Leon Aly, my fathers worst enemy since forever, and father of the boy I once loved. My father sighs, "I'm getting old, 48 years old. I'm losing my touch." "Well so is Leon!" I exlaim. "I know, but we are moving into a smaller house. Cecila and I are going to work in the coal mines." The coal mines, every child's worst nightmare. They are supposed to work there when they turn 18, and then they have to worry about their parents dying. Like my grandfather when my mother was still a kid, not even 15. My dad opens his mouth but no sound Comes out. Obviously pissed and ticked off,Cecila stands up and grab me. "Rose Scarlett Mellark, what we are saying is that you will volunteer for the Hunger Games, you will go into the hunger games....we don't care if you like it or not." she says brutally. My eyes widen. No way in hell this is true. ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ End of chapter1?
