Disclaimer: I do not own The Hunger Games


My name is Kaylee Redpath. I am 15 years old. My home is District 4. The Capitol hates us all. They killed my parents. They killed my brother. They killed my boyfriend. I escaped Panem. I moved in with my fourth cousin in Kerry, Ireland. I did what Katniss Everdeen never managed to do. This is my story I call it...

The Ultionem Games.

I was stood outside Kerry High School in September. The autumn wind was whipping my face as I stared motionless at the sign that was on the right of the school entrance. Whenever you start a new school, things can get awkward very quickly and I wasn't falling into that trap again. I took a step forward and entered the school and carried on walking before I started to draw attention to myself. I pulled a screwed up piece of paper out of my blazer pocket, that my cousin (fourth cousin to be exact), Sinéad must have put in. How thoughtful of her. It had my form room, S27, was what was on it.

Finally after at least 10 minutes of searching I found my form room. The door squeaked as I pushed it open and at least 25 pairs of eyes were on me, there was no escaping now.

'Good morning, Kaylee, I'm your form tutor, Miss Twitchinmafit and you're fifteen minutes late to form. You'll have a detention with me at lunch' a lady from the corner of the room said to me.

Twitchinmafit could sound like witch-havin'-a-fit.

She was wearing a white blouse, a crimson pencil skirt and ebony heels. Her hair was short at the black and long at the front, obviously dyed black and to be honest it made her look like an old crone.

'But-' I was going to argue but she cut me off,

'Don't you but me, Miss Redpath. You don't want to double your detention'.

'Yes, Miss Witch-havin'-a-fit' I replied,

I just replied with the joke name, she's going to kill me. I turned and fled out the door of my form room and went on a search for my next lesson.

3 hours later

I was stood outside my music class for at least five minutes before my class started to show up but the teacher didn't.

'Apparently you called your form teacher a witch' one student said to me,

'Lay off the new girl' another said,

'Shut up, Dave, or Bethany will kill her, remember what happened to Orán'

'What happened' I asked nervously,

'Here she is now' a student said gesturing down the corridor with a slight tilt of his head.

She was at least two times larger than the rest of us. She was fat, quite fat but I wasn't sure, she also looks like she could grab me by my braid and hurl me out the window.

'What are you gesturing at, toad' Bethany sneered her green bug eyes were fixed upon the guy who just gestured towards her.

All of the other students backed took one step back leaving Bethany free to beat the puny kid up. It was just like an obnoxious brat that had come to step on an innocent ant.

'I was gesturing a-at' he stuttered,

'Spit it out! Cat got your tongue?' she spat,

'At- the, teacher! He's coming' he pointed his finger,

She glanced over her shoulder and the boy let out a small sigh of relief,

'Don't think that you've gotten away, because I'm going to get you at lunch'.

For first impressions Bethany didn't look very intelligent, she seems to have a QI that is so low, it could be off the scale.

10 minutes later

My music teacher's name turns out to me something along the lines of Mr McFritzen but most pupils call him something like Mr McFries and some go completely over the top by calling him Mr Would you like fries with that. It also turns out I've been partnered with Bethany but her surname is quite amusing, Bethany Hadslim and you could call her Bethany Was Slim.

'Hey you' Beth snarled beside me, 'You finished that music piece yet'

'Nearly' I replied a little nervous,

'Well you better hurry up then'

The truth was that I'd never even known a piano never mind a keyboard existed in the entire fifteen years of my existence.

I managed to finish something that made us look like that we were working. I learnt some basic piano skills and Beth learnt to expect me to do everything in our music lessons, could have been worse.

I was pulling my bags out from under the table and Beth's foot annoyingly got caught in the cord of my drawstring plastic sports kit causing her to belly flop onto the floor. I knew she was going to kill me so I snatched my bag and my sports kit off the floor and made my quick getaway. Luckily it was lunch and I could waste the hour running around the school trying to get away from her and on the upside I will get to know the school quicker than most new kids, well the ones who haven't had a bully at their heels.

She had been hot on my heels for the last 5 minutes, chasing my through the corridors and the outdoors areas. Despite her size, she can go on for quite a while. Right now I've been chased down a flight of stairs and into a domed area. I was trapped, I couldn't see an escape route anywhere and I've just resorted to running in circles until I saw the faint glimmer of light from a gap in the wall, a doorway. I sprinted through it and I saw a green gate. I used to jump between fishing boats at sea back in District 4. I could easily scale this, pip squeak. As the gate neared I didn't slow down, I kept my eye on the target. I didn't bother to look over my shoulder to see if she was still sprinting after me, getting over the gate is too important. I was about a few seconds now from the jump. I placed my right hand on the cool green metal and swung my body over and fled from the school, to afraid to look back.

I had no idea how long I'd been running for, absolutely not a clue. I could have been running for hours but for all I know I could have only been running for a few minutes. I was pondering on this for a while but I didn't pluck up the courage to stop or turn to check the distance I'd ran, it's kind of stupid but I was terrified. I noticed that my surroundings were trees, I must have gone and got myself lost, but I kept my feet moving. Finally I gathered my courage and turned my head. Nobody was there, empty road, no cars, no people, just trees apart from that nothing.

My head collided with something, a brick wall, maybe, I felt my body fry.

I passed out.
