Peacekeeper Prince and Victor Princess

by Katnibellamione

I got an idea for this story after studying Cassiope Fletch in some of my other works like Two by Two, Master and Padawan and more recently, my epic More Addicting Than the Booze. Enjoy!

1. Chapter 1: Always Had Faith

Chapter 1: Always Had Faith

Cassiope's POV

My name is Cassiope Fletch. I am from District 12. I am the Victor of the 16th Annual Hunger Games.

And I am already having to mentor for my Second Quarter Quell. Four tributes instead of two!

I say goodbye to all of them, lingering on Haymitch Abernathy, the son of my former best friend, the longest. As I head for the Mentors' Bar after the hovercraft lifts off, a Peacekeeper escort from 12 and good friend, Adam Pontipee, smiles at me. He is a kindly Peacekeeper, and even more distinctive with his flaming red hair.

"You can do this, Cassiope! You'll get a Victor yet!"

I smile. Adam has always had faith in me, even after 34 years of failure. At least, it will probably be 34 years.

But I am wrong. Haymitch Abernathy wins the entire Quell. I got a tribute out of the arena alive.

Adam greets us both as we get on the train for home. "I knew you could do it, Miss Fletch! I just knew you could!"
