by itsliseyyy

Ethar Smallwood could not live without his sister and could not die knowing she is doomed to soon do the same. he makes a rash decision to save his sister Statice when they both get reaped at the hunger games. when at least one of them is doomed he makes the decision on who it will be...

1. Chapter 1

Ethar's POV

That's me .The little boy from 4 with the curly hair and green eyes. You may not remember me and that's because I died in the bloodbath on the first day of hell. But I'm going to tell you the whole story. Peeta thinks admitting his love for Katniss would save him and it did. And I knew nothing would save me and nothing did. I was dead in a heartbeat I tried to protect her, I tried to protect my sister. Yes, she was my sister. We don't look alike and that's because we have different mothers but I still swore to protect her. I better tell you everything…

I made a deal, a dodgy one, but a deal none the less. I would've had to die anyway if she was to live. So when she was training, I left her side for a moment, just a moment, to speak to that ass hole Cato and what I said, it got me killed- but of my own will. Have you figured it out yet? What I did to protect her cost me my life. My life for her to be in the career pack. A small price, a bargain the careers might not have kept. But they did. Cato kept his side of the bargain and I kept mine. I let him kill me so my sister was protected.

A/N so the little boy was unnamed in the book and film so I decided to call him Ethar and his sister Statice and chapter 2 it will include some of her chap is really short but the rest will be longer. reviews appreciated!
