Vengance

It's been 8 years since the games have been reinstated. Lily Mellark, 16 has been chosen for the games. And she is her to win, not for her but for her mom. Let the 84th Hunger Games begin.

I was only 8 when my mother was killed.

We were sitting in her room. She was teaching me a song about some meadow. I never listened though, I was always daydreaming. I woke up from my daydream after hearing a crash and then, my father's screams. They charged up the stairs and my mother pushed me in the closet. I heard the screams of my mother as they took her away from me forever.

I opened the closet door and watched from the window as they took my mother away. To the Capitol, to be publicly executed, for all of Panem to see.

That night I wasn't allowed downstairs but I could hear everything from my room. The screams, my dad's cries, the bow to her heart. She was dead. I thought it was over until I heard our President's ill voice. "We have decided to reinstate the games."
