My Angel
In this fanfic district 12 was never blown up, Cinna never died, Haymitch was never a part of the Rebellion and Effie is still the Capitol representative and the rebellion failed
People are planning another rebellion and trying to find someone to lead it
Chapter 1: The reaping
There was once a girl from 12. Some knew her as the Girl on Fire. We knew her as the one who almost killed us all.
We couldn't blame her, she tried to save us but... It's hard not to blame her
We were only saved because President Snow's grandson (Who is now called President Rose) said it would be better to have 24 tributes than 22.
You might be wondering who I am
I am Elina Leumas 12 years old and I am an illegal hunter of district twelve
But you really can't call it illegal anymore because after the 'rebellion' peacekeepers stopped coming
Because if we misbehaved again, they would blow us up without hesitation
My best friend is Chris Dux he is 15 years old and my hunting partner
People often think we are like Katniss and Gale, but we are very different
I have a younger sister Myra she is 9 at the moment
And Chris has 4 brothers Matt who is 11 Tyler who is 9 Sam who is 5.
Me and Chris sort of had to care for the family
Chris dad died a before Sam was born and my dad remarried and moved to district 2 when I was 6
My mother was from the Town and my Father from the seam
But my Dad used to live in the Towns too when he was younger
He first married Layla who was from the seam but she died and he remarried my mother Sarah
My Dad Tom was close to the mayor and often did errands for him now that he needed the money
He often had errands that needed him to go to district 2
That's where he met another woman who he fell In love with
With the Mayor Peter's Vouch, President Rose let my Dad move to district 2
After my 'Dad' left my mother (if I can even call her that anymore) just sits around in the kitchen (which is opposite of the door) and waits for him to come home
Myra and I have tried telling her he won't come back but she just stares at us
I gave up on her years ago
I've learned how to hunt (after an embarrassing encounter with Chris) and I discovered I had a gift
President Rose made a new law, those who are in District 10, 11 and 12 have to have kids who are 12 years of age enter the hunger games
I signed up for terrasse and had my name put in their 23 times
That is not that much but it's not that little either
Chris had it worse he has his name in 36 times
Chris and I made a pact if either of us were chosen the other would take care if the other family
It was reaping day today and I was scared
I wore a dress my mother set out
I was quite surprised considering she never moved, she barely ate
It was a plain light blue dress made out of bad fabric
I sighed as I changed
My mother did my hair up silently
"I might get chosen this year" I told her
She didn't say anything, that made me mad
"Done" she croaked
"If I get chosen I need you to take care if Myra" I told her
Silence was all I heard
That's when I cracked
She sat down in her usual spot and I stormed right up to her and screamed in her face
"Hey are you listing to me?"
She didn't say anything
I swung my arm and gave her a stinging slap to her face
That got her attention
"If I get picked you HAVE to take care of Myra" I yelled
She nodded
"Well don't get picked then" she said rudely to me
'The nerve of her!' I thought
But I didn't do anything to her
After all she got the point
Take care of Myra if I get chosen
What else could she do?
What else could I do?
I left the house with a silent mother and a crying sister
I waved goodbye
"Don't worry I'll be back soon!" I told her
Myra looked at me worried
"You promise?" She asked
I promise" I assured her
I hoped that was true
Anyway she and mother had to go to the reaping
The Capitol likes to see parents suffer.
I got identified and grouped with girls my age: 12 from the seam
I stood with my 'friend' Sally Stickle well I'm not sure if we are or not but we sit next to each other in 'school'
It's not a real school it's more of a charity school where people teach if they felt like and payed with low wages
The real school is in the Towns where you have to pay to go there
Sally was from one of the poorest families she had her name in 58 times to feed her, her mother, her father and her 2 sisters and 3 brothers who were younger that 10
Sally was very worried
"Don't worry" I said as I squeezed her hand
Sally looked up at me
"I feel I'm going to be picked" she said meekly
I felt pity for her
"Don't worry you have 58 slips out of around 1500 slips" I said to her soothingly
She smiled at me gratefully
The Capitol representative Effie Trinket walked on stage all hoity toity and spoke through the microphone
"Welcome everyone for the reaping of the 93rd Hunger games!" She announced happily
She pulled a hollo-card which is used to project videos and such
"We have a special video from the Capitol!" She said excitedly
She pushed a button and the projection appeared as wide as a large building and as high as 4 tall men standing on each other's shoulders
"No doubt" Sally whispered getting my attention
"That hollo-card was made in district 3" she said softly
I nodded
As the video ended Effie let out a squeal of delight
"Wasn't that delightful" she squealed
No one answered her
Embarrassed she walked towards the bowls containing names of tributes
"Well as always ladies first" she said
She dug around the bowl and picked up a name
She looked at it as if trying to guess the name
"Elina Leumas" she Called out
My heart stopped and my brain took a long time to register
I looked at Sally and it looked as the tables have turned because she was looking at me with eyes full of pity
"I'm sorry" I heard her whisper
"Elina Leumas?" Effie called
I gave Sally a Curt nod before walking toward the stage
As I got on the stage I saw Chris and he was very upset
Then I heard a shrill voice scream
"ELINA YOU PROMISED!"
I turned to see the caller of the voice
Only to see my little sister Myra being restrained by parents as she tried to get to me
"ELINA!" She called
"ELINA YOU PROMISED YOU'D COME BACK!" She cried
I shut my eyes in an attempt to shut out her cries
In the end some peacekeepers came and 'escorted' (by saying escorted i mean shoving and threatening them with a gun) out of the premises
"Now for the boys!" Effie said as if nothing happened
She teetered over to the boy's bowl and picked out a name
"Chris Dux" Effie called
My heart stopped for the second time (which I think is very unhealthy and surprising because I am still alive) before it started to beat really fast and painfully
He walked up to the stage silently
As he walked to the stage it felt like slow motion
My mouth was dry my heart was pounding
I wanted to scream, but I can't I'll just get taken away
I Didn't know it but somehow he came up onto the stage without me realising
"Well here they are! The tributes for the 93rd hunger games!" Effie announced
Silence is what greeted her words
Silence is what creeped into my mind
And for the first time I know what my mother is feeling
End of chapter 1
So tell me if it's good or not I'd really appreciate it!
You probably think it's exactly like the original hunger games but it's not it's just the start
Some characters personality might be like those from the book but in a way they are different
