A/N: This is my first fanfic so I will appreciate any constructive critcism. Story is set in Catching Fire.

Disclaimer: I do not own The Hunger Games or any of it's characters.


Prologue

We're talking in the sitting room on the twelfth floor of the Training Centre. Cinna, Portia, Peeta, Effie, Haymitch and I. Well, Haymitch is drunk. I ask the stylists about a person that's been on my mind for a while. Alicia, the fourteen-year-old from District 5 who won the 73rd Games. What little I know about her history really intrigues me. Portia turns pale and Cinna's smile quickly dissapears. "Katniss," he says carefully.

"Yes?"

"Do you remember Clove from your Hunger Games?"

How could I forget? That girl almost killed me. I nod.

"Alicia is her sister."

I keep my face blank but on the inside, my emotions are going crazy. Mainly, I'm shocked. Alicia is from District 5 and Clove was from District 2. How can they be sisters? After this, I feel guilt. If Thresh hadn't saved me for what I'd done for Rue, Clove might have actually made it out alive.

Under all this, I feel fear. Alicia won her Games because of her amazing fighting skills. Knives, axes, maces, swords, you name it. She could handle them all with ease. It only took five days for her to take out all her opponents. She was only twelve at that time. Now, I can only just imagine what form of revenge she has planned for me.

For coming out alive instead of her sister. The sister that I could have saved if I wanted to. But no, these are the Hunger Games. I don't regret what I did and Alicia won't change her mind. Well, she has to die anyway if I want Peeta to survive. I'll do what it takes to keep him alive.

Suddenly, I notice that the others are staring at me. Trying to follow my train of thought. A question wanders into my mind and I ponder it before asking Portia. "How do you know all this?"

She bites her lip and her eyes well up with tears but they don't fall. Cinna puts his arm around her. "Be..because, Alicia is ou..our daughter."


A/N: Sorry for the short length but as I said, it's a prologue. I know that Clove was from District 2 but I wanted to put some discomfort between Alicia and Katniss. You'll find out all about how they meet in later chapters. Please review!

BTW, Alicia is pronounced A-Lee-Cee-A
