As soon as the cameras stop rolling, I am pulled up roughly by two gaurds, pushed through various corridors and hallways, and shoved into my cell where the sadly famlir ground provides a strange sense of confort. I crawl to the corner and for the first time take a few moments to explore my new home. The room seems over-sized and empty, until I find one extremly cold metal chair. The chair provides no comfort so I abandon the thought of using it as seating.
My hands find something in the dark, "Cuffs," I speak the word into the empitness.
Metal cuffs connected to the arms and front feet of the chair.
'What could these be for?' I ask myself
To end you.
'What?' I ask earnistly to the invisible man
No response.
'Tell me!'
No response
I face defeat and cral back to the entrance of the cell. I lie there in the fetal position, not awar that time was moving at all... until the sounds of footsteps enter my empty brain. I crawl to the bars and look out into the dimly lit corridor. I see them. The two Avoxes who had assited Katniss and me during our time in the capitol. Then it hits me.
"Darius!" Although I do not know him well I can't fight his name as it escapes my throt.
He looks at me, his once glowing, rambusious face was now one that should be placed on a mother mourning the death of her child, face somber maybe even emotionless but eyes filled with enough unseen tears to fill the oceans, and with one swift movement, takes his chakled hand, places two fingers on his lips, and extends his hand to me.
I can almost hear him say it, "Goodbye."
I struggle away from the bars and plsce my head on my knees.
That's when the beatings began
