Chapter 1

Willows POV

"hi, I'm willow Mellark and I'm fifteen…you obviously already knew that I'm in this class…I just…umm…moved here with my…umm…brother from district 12 its nice to meet you!" I rushed the last bit and practically ran to my seat. I pretend not to notice the endless pairs of eyes glaring at me, no, not at me like lasers beaming through me. All my life I've been on the move, we move, and we move but nowhere is ever good enough. We started in twelve, that's where I spent the first 5 years of my life but, since then its been a year in one place (maybe not even) and then we move. my grandmother, gale and his family and Annie moved into twelve and apparently 'it was all too much' for my mom. I get it sort of now, my mom told me about the hunger games, and my dad being tortured, the capital, and even the war and all the friends she lost. We are in district 7 now. I don't like it, it's too green. My mom tried to get me into hunting a few years back, but I didn't like it, I'd much rather stay in and bake with my dad, but rye loves it. I'm just glad I was born when I was, or things could be a lot more difficult.

Letter of confirmation

To, all panem citizens

From, president Lloyd

To all people of Panem, I am most thankful for you to pick me to be your new president, after the assassination of president paylor the capitol would like to announce a new hunger games! Now calm down I am aware you may be alarmed but this only a one-time thing and not everyone will be reaped. Only the children of the original capital and the children of the victors will be allowed to compete. So happy hunger games, may the odds be ever in your favour, with upmost sincerity, your president.
