Broken Souls: Haymitch Abernathy

by hidden-behind-the-stars

So the second "installment"... Who really knows Haymitch? How did Haymitch go from the boy who won the heart of the Capitol to the drunkard he is in the Hunger Games? This shows his life from the winning of the Hunger Games to when he became like he was when Katniss and Peeta met him. Please read, and it's my story so what I say goes.

1. Prologue

So here's the short introductory bit... Told from Mockinjay Haymitch's POV. So, it's obviously in my Broken Souls series. I can't decide if I want to continue it, you know? I may just make it some of his thoughts...

Nobody knows me.

I don't want anyone to know me, or get close to me so that when I mess up, it doesn't hurt anybody else but me. I've hurt enough people that I don't want to hurt one more soul. I don't want to be who I was, I can't be likeable. No one will make the mistake of caring for me again.

I won the 50th Hunger Games. I killed seven people. I watched the girl I love die. My family was murdered because I made mistakes. I'm arrogant, strong, and handsome. Or I was.

I had been seventeen. Seventeen when the Games took away any resemblance of innocence I had left. Seventeen when I murdered. And tht was twenty-five years ago.

Who am I?

What have I left behind?

Who did I kill?

What is my story?

...unless you guys like it. Review. I'll make the next chapter soon, update it... That type of stuff...
