A/N Hey everyone! I, TheHungerGames321, am going to write Chapter 1, and then MoonlightDiva is going to write the next one, then me, her, so on and so forth unless we bothsworn on the same chapter. So here is the beginning of msponge of the new stories!


"Katniss!" My father called for me from downstairs.

"What?" I answer.

"Come down here please!"

I walk down the stairs toward him,

"Whadya want?" I ask.

"Here is 60 dollars, I'm going on a business trip for 2 weeks, I've already stocked the cupboards and done all of that, this money is foremergencies only.

"Like if we're in need of ice cream?" A bubbly Prim asks.

"No. If you are running low on something important, eggs, milk, bread, stuff like that. "

"When are you leaving...?" I ask, eyeing the bags he's carrying, suspiciously.

"Right now, love you girls," He hugs us, "See you in 3 weeks!"

"I thought it was 2 weeks!" I shout after him as him runstown the driveway a cab. Prim and I follow him.

"Oops, I lied! It's three! Goodbye!" he gets in the cab and they drive him away. I growl slightly.

"ErMerGersh! Kat's half wolf!" Prim screams, then runs up the driveway. I chase after her growling and saying "I'm gonna get you!" I chase her around the house for a little bit before I decide it's time to have dinner.

"What do you want for dinner?" I ask her.

"Can we eat out?" Prim asks.

"Fine." I grab my keys, I'm 17, and we head out the door.

MR. EVERDEENS POV

As soon as I get in the cab I feel bad. I just left my daughters to go on a business trip without a good goodbye, it was because of my boss, he demanded me to get there as soon as I possibly could, which means you better get there within two days or you'll be fired.

-2 1/2 WEEKS LATER-

I was on my way to work for one of my last days before I could get back to my daughters when I spotted it, the most beautiful rose I had ever seen. I should get it for Katniss, I thought, or Prim. Or I could just put it in a vase on the table. Either way, I wanted it. I got some sheers and I walked toward it. I had the sheers around it and I was just about to cut it when I realized I was in someone's yard, about to cut someone else's flower. All of a sudden a door opened and a voice called out from it. It sounded angry.

"What do you think you're doing?" The voice asked.
-written by MoonlightDiva-
"N-nothing! I-I was just admiring this flower!", I said trembling and nervous.

The blond, muscular boy crossed his arms and looked at me, one eyebrow raised. It was clear that he didn't believe me.

"And why do you need a knife to look at a flower?", the boy asked with a harsh voice. This question was meant more rhetorical than as a real question.

Feared of the blonde man, my grip around the flower got tighter And without realizing it I had broken off the white rose with my bare hands. I looked at the rose closer, a disgusting smell of blood reached my nose, but the rose was still beautiful, innocent, and pure.

The mans face turned crimson and his fists started to tremble.

"Do you even know how expensive and special that rose is? You'll pay for that!" He yelled angry.

In reflex, I took off running, but the boy already shouted for peacekeepers that immediately arrived. They were in a circle around me and were dragging me back to the boys house.

"E-Everything alright, Mr. Cato?" A peacekeeper asked. It was obvious that he was scared of the man too.
That's when I realized that this man was Cato Baron, the a rich man with temper issues. Because of his temper, his parents didn't want to live with him and bought him a mansion, this one. He's lived there for a year and a half now and never gets any visitors, they all fear him.

Amazing,I always know how to get in trouble!I thought, angry at myself.

The blonde boy, Cato, moved slow and intimidating towards me,a devilish smirk on his lips.

"Why did you want this rose?" He asked, while pointing to the rose I careful held in my hands. I couldn't tell him that it was for one of my two daughters, because I didn't want to bring them into this. I kept quiet, too feared to say anything.

"Tell me! TELL ME NOW!" He shouted as I didn't answer. I closed my eyes and wished myself back to District Twelve, where Katniss would hunt with me and sing songs, and Prim was begging me for more attention. I smiled at the memory of them. That was a big mistake...
It enraged the boy, who now yelled angry at me, even angrier than ago.

"You think this is FUNNY? I'll SHOW you what's FUNNY!"

Cato raised his hand and lay his arm around my neck, like he wanted to snap it right now. I knew I would be dead in a few seconds if I didn't say anything, so I finally spoke up in the last second.

"I-it's for one of My daughters, back home..." I said in panic.

His grip loosened and he looked straight in the eye.

"How old are your daughters?" Cato demanded.

My eyes widened, why could someone like him being interested in their ages?

"HOW OLD ARE THEY?!" The blonde man repeated himself, he tightened his grip around my neck.

"Twelve a-and Se-seventeen..." My voice crackled in terror, because I didn't want this stranger to know anything about my beautiful daughters. His grip loosened.

Cato seemed to think of something,obviously something cruel And then decided to speak.

"What's her name?"

Why would he want to know that?He tightened his grip once more.

"K-Katniss!" I squeak, clawing at his hand to get his hands off my neck. They loosen. I take deep breaths.

"You know you have to pay for that, don't you? It's illegal to steal!", he paused, what made me the urge to throw up, because I didn't want him to tell me what he has planned for my punishment.

Cato went on telling me what I had to do to make things right again,

"Your older daughter, Katniss, bring her to me to live here for the rest of her life and you can have the rose and go home, but remember, if she's not here in a week you all will be killed or become avoxes!"

I look at him in disbelief. He glares and moves his hands as if to tighten his grip again, my eyes widen.
"O-Okay." I say, he sticks out his hand and I shake it.

Oh no! What did I get Katniss into?
