Hi! I'm Taryn, and I live in Redding, Ca. This my very first story. So please review and give me tips. they would be really helpful. I do not own the hunger games. It's all Suzane Collins. In memory of my old cousin whose short life ended before she could speak!
Prims POV
Life has been difficult ever since the 74 annual hunger games. Rebellion has struck the capitol like a brick, leaving the capitol with no choice but to stop it with force. Anyone standing in its way has been killed or avoxed as my school friends call it. I don't know what it means, but it can't be good, and not only that but I'm also losing my own sister. Why did President Snow have to choose this for the Quell; Making former rivals who thought they would never have to go through such pain and suffering again go back to the capitol for a sure death they thought would never come.
I may only be 13, but seeing death and destruction all around me isn't a new feeling. For 13 years I've been forced to watch abhorrent scenes of bloody, heinous violence in the Hunger Games. I've watched innocent kids get killed in the most repulsive ways imaginable. People getting decapitated, there throats slit, torn to pieces, or even slowly sliced to nothing more than chunks of gory flesh.
When I was four years old, my cantankerous behavior got me beaten and my eyes super glued open in the most painful way. I guess we're supposed to be used to death so if the time ever comes to fight for our useless lives. Our lives are useless aren't they? I mean the capitol chooses two kids from each district to kill each other for the entertainment of the capitol. It's not entertaining to me.
I swear on behalf of my sister that I will prove the capitol wrong. I will fight for our freedom until the day I die. I will sacrifice myself for the lives of hundreds of scanty children. I will do it all for Katniss. I will never forget the one who put her life before mine. I will protect her, even though she will be dead in a few days. Maybe even in a few minutes.
But that won't move me. I'm a statue. I will not change my decision. I won't deceive myself ever again.
