Always A Hunger Games Fanfic

Prologue

I tread slowly through the forest. My axe was practically glued to my right hand. My fingers were tense, ready for any sudden movements, preparing to free the long, silver weapon from their grip.

Meanwhile, I was muttering and mentally kicking myself. And not because I didn't find any source of water.

I didn't want to fall in love here. I didn't mean to. And I didn't mean to tell my secret to anyone. Or to all of Panem for that matter. Why here? Why now? And why-?

A scream fills the air and pierces the silence. Then another. I instantly recognize who it is.

I break into a run, gripping my axe in both hands. I burst into the clearing and see a girl with a sword. The sword was pointing, then moving downwards into a body.

"NO!" I scream.
