Author's Note: Greetings, fellow Tributes, and welcome to my first story! I would like to thank Artea Brahaj and Zoey Pierce (AKA piepie1289; check her stories out for more AWESOMENESS!) for helping me bring this story from a Google+ chat to you! Reviews will be appreciated, and don't worry: the chapters will get progressively longer.

*Flora Mellark POV*

Growing up, I had never really thought much about it, but now that I'm older, I've realized that my parents are unlike any other parents I've ever met. It's as if they share... a secret, one that is always hovering in midair, always there but never acknowledged.

Finn, my little brother, doesn't notice it; he's too young. But I KNOW they're keeping something from us. And, being cursed with my mother's curiosity, I was going to find out; who knew that their secret would rip us apart, sooner rather than later...

Hope you enjoyed, see you next time, and *Mock Bow* "Thank you... for your consideration."
