I'm having writers block with my other story so I'm writing this one.
Disclaimer: no I'm not Suzanne Collins, I wish
Full summary: The Hunger Games never happened, instead, as punishment for the rebellion, the Capitol became super oppressive. They would murder people in the streets for not complying to simple rules. No one was safe. Each district gets worse and worse. While district 1 is practically Capital 2.0 , district 12 is murder city with peace keepers having privileges to do whatever they wanted to people. District 13 was destroyed because the capitol felt threatened by them.
Katniss was orphaned at age 11 when her father died in a explosion and her mom was killed by a peace keeper. Katniss and her sister Prim were put in the community home, the worse place in district 12 to be. Prim was murdered a year after, leaving Katniss alone. She only had one friend, Peeta.
As soon as Katniss turned 16 she was married to a peace keeper by the name of Cato. He became very abusive and now that Katniss is 18, Cato wants an heir. Will Peeta, her best friend, be able to save Katniss from Cato and herself?
Katniss POV
It was so crisp fall day. Today prim what have turned 14, well if she hadn't died. I mean if she hadn't been murdered. I'm surprised Cato actually let me come see her grave today, he never does anything nice for me, well unless he wants something. I know what it is he wants, but I don't want it. He wants me to have a heir for him, a son. I don't want to bring anyone in to this cruel world and he knows this. He just doesn't care. Cato came from district 2, where women would be completely submissive and do whatever their husband told them to do. But I wasn't like that, so he'd beat me. He'd beat me and rape me and leave me crying on the floor. What he didn't know was I was taking birth control. If he found out he might kill me. Stop thinking about Cato, today is for prim, I told myself. She was only 8 when she was brutally murdered by another child at the community home. I felt that I had failed her. I couldn't take care of her how could I take care of a child, how could I protect them from their own dad? I hated Cato, the way he made me feel about myself, the way he treated me. He even killed one of my best friends, gale. I walked over to Gale's grave and started to cry. Everyone I cared about was in this area. Other than Peeta, everyone I loved is dead.
Cato came up behind me and spoke in his deep voice, " Katniss its time to go, unless you want to be with all of them, " he gestured to the graves of my friends and family.I wiped away my tears and a surge of anger ran through my body, he was mocking me for crying, I could tell by his tone he was mocking me. We walked back to the house that was my prison and went inside.
" I expect the house to be clean by the time I get back. If not..." He raised his hand and I flinched knowingly. " Good," he chuckled," Now get to work." The door slammed and I heard the lock click. How could anyone enjoy making someone else feel pain. I heard a knock on my door. " Katniss? " a voice called from beyond the door that I recognized instantly. " Peeta! " I called out to him as I ran to the door. I fumbled with the lock but when I finally got the door opened Peeta was standing out there waiting for me. I almost cried when I kept in his arms. We walked inside and he closed the door behind us.I was still holding on to him." You're here, real or not real?" He laughed at our inside joke, " real," he replied. Peeta could always make me forget all my problems and make me feel truly happy. Unfortunately, that's when he saw the latest bruise on my neck and my life shaped back to reality." Did he...? I'm going to murder him! I can't believe he hurts you-" " Well there's nothing I can do about it, either get beaten or get pregnant." The words came out of my mouth before I could stop them. I saw tears forming in his eyes," oh Katniss, I, I'm so sorry, I," I fell back into his arms and started balling. "Save me, please Peeta, save me" my voice was barely audible." Always Katniss, always "
