The Things We Lost In The Fire (Everlark Fanfic)

The Dream

I'm surrounded by darkness. I feel an intense heat on my left leg and hip. I turn around to observe my surroundings - I expect nothing but darkness but am suprised when my parents stand there, burns covering their bodies.

"Katniss," My Dad says to me whilst putting a hand on my shoulder. "Everything's going to be okay. You're going to meet a boy, fall in love, get married, have kids - you had more of a future than we did. We love you."

He and Mum start to get teary eyed causing me to burst into tears.

"But Mum, Dad, I can't live without you! I need you! Please, come back." I say through my tears. They both pull me into a hug.

"Honey, we'll never leave you. We'll be with you throughout your journey. Whenever you're in darkness, we'll be your light," Mum says, I can hear her smile whilst speaking.

"We have to go now, but we'll be there, always with you. We love you, Katniss." They both kiss me and walk off into the void. They are happier now - I know I can get through this life because they did. Everything happens for a reason.

I wake to blinding lights. I turn to the clock on the side of my bedside counter. 9:42 am. Today I get to leave. Brutus will pick me up at 11:00 am, so I must get ready.

Dr Pollux walks through the door of my hospital room. "Hey, feeling better?" He smiles to me.

"Loads. I'm excited to get out of this hospital bed." I say truthfully back to him.

"I'll bet. I'll go get you your clothes." He says before leaving the room again. It turns out the firefighters were able to save three things - my clothes, my iPod, and my phone. How convinient. Thing is - I would trade all of these and more just to see my parents one more time.

What did this dream mean? I'm so confused - my head is spinning. I can't think about it, not now. I need to be alone, somewhere safe, where it's okay to cry.

I slip on my All Time Low top and my checkered flannel. My mum used to mock my choice of clothing because apparently I used to dress like I was from the 90's - my Dad however, loved it. Dr Pollux said that I couldn't wear my black skinny jeans and red chuck taylors which disheartened me a bit, but I was aloud to wear underwear, of course. But, for the time being I was stuck having to wear hospital trousers. I wasn't really bothered, however because I thought they were really comfortable and didn't hurt my skin like my skinny jeans would've.

Brutus arrived to pick me up at about 11:05 am. I willingly hopped into his car and prepared for the 30 minute journey to Panem.

I find it quite funny how they named my new home after the place we live in - Panem.

We arrived exactly half an hour later. I was nervous to start my new life here.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Ahh Katniss has finally arrived in Panem - I wonder who she will meet? Want more? Tell me! ---->
