Aspen Hill's P.o.v

I sit patiently downstairs in the mentor's waiting lounge. Jessie would be here any minute hopefully. She was going to help me and Eagle with the tributes. Rouge the male tribute looked at me and tilted his had as if he knew what I was thinking.

"Isn't that Jessie girl suppose to be here?" Rouge said in a thick accent. 
Eagle had told me earlier in private that Rouge  was the one who cut Isabella's arm off.  He was part of the reason she struggled so much last year. At least she's at peace now.


"Yes, she is. I'm sure she will be here soon. She's probably busy with gathering sponsors." I replied. 

Sponsors the vital thing every tribute needs when they are in the games.
The potential difference between a tribute winning or a tribute dying.

"Aspen, I really think you should check on her. She isn't answering any calls. "Eagle said his eyes full of worry.

Of course he would be worried.
The amount of times people have tried to kill Jessie is actually insane.

It's like she's a threat or something. But she's just like the rest of us mentors.

I looked at Eagle and sighed.

"Keep an eye on Topaz and Rouge, I will be right back." I said as I headed towards the elevator.

As I stepped into the hallway Rebecca walked out of the elevator.
She was covered in blood and had a devious look in her eyes.

"Code 0024."  I yelled.

Two peacekeepers rushed Rebecca.
She was knocked out very quick.

Eagle ran over followed closely by Topaz and Rouge.

"She's covered in blood." Eagle gasped.

"Not again." I muttered as I rushed into the elevator.

Please let Jessie be okay.
This isn't fair.
It's always her.

I ran into our apartment.
I saw a trail of blood.
At the end of it was Jessie.

"I need a medic!" I yelled.

We can't lose Jessie.
Not yet.

"Let me help. " Curio muttered.

When did he show up?
It doesn't matter.

-

A few hours later and Jessie seems like she might be okay eventually.

"Draco, you should of kept a closer eye on your tribute." I muttered.

"How was I suppose to know she was going to attack Jessie? I didn't think she was as insane as Jack." Draco responded.

"Pretty sure the crazy gene probably runs in that family." Eagle mumbled.

"Just be glad we found her in time. She's a fighter." Curio said as he looked towards Jessie asleep in the bed. 

"I hope you are right about this. " Eagle said.

I hope Curio is right.
I really want Jessie to pull through.


I flicked the Tv on to watch the mandatory hunger games tribute parade.


Nobody really stood out a lot this year.


I took notes quickly trying to decipher who the winner would be.

As long as it wasn't Rebecca I didn't care.


I crawl into my bed.

Tomorrow is a brand new day.
