Hi guys!
This is my first fanfic! I'm really excited about it! Please let me know what you think of it! Reviews appreciated!
Prologue
After the failed Mockingjay Rebellion, as it became known as, Panem started expanding its territory. Snow, it turns out, was secretly married to Coin, and the rebellion was a set-up. So, when Katniss, Gale and Peeta got to the Capitol, they were captured and Tortured. Gale was tortured to death. Haymitch Abernathy, Mrs. Everdeen, Mr. & Mrs. Mellark, the Hawthorne family, Finnick Odair, Annie Cresta, Johanna Mason, Enobaria, Cashmere and Gloss, Effie Trinket, Plutarch Heavensbee, Fulvia, Venius, Octavia, Flavius, Portia, Peeta's prep team and many other innocent civilians were also killed.
Peeta and Katniss, were freed eventually, free to live, although they felt as if they were still being tortured. Prim was killed by a bomb, and both of their families were killed by Peacekeepers. All they had was each other. They got married, in the re-built District 12. District 13 was also re-built. Peeta eventually lost all traces of tracker-jacker venom. Peeta and Katniss Everdeen Mellark had two children. The oldest, their daughter, Primrose Rue Mellark, and their younger child, a boy, Finnick Gale Mellark.
As a result of Panem's expanding, what was known as The United Kingdom, or Great Britain, became a part of Panem. In fact, a whole continent, formerly known as Europe became a part of Panem. Massive "bridges" were built to get to these places. Europe became districts 14-26, each with their own exports. For instance, District 17, a place used to be called France, was in charge of wine and alcohol. Germany became District 18. And District 19, formerly Italy, exported clothing.
Life conditions slightly improved in District 12. No-one was dying of starvation, so that showed a huge improvement at least. Quarter Quells were abolished, according to the Capitol, but they were actually re-made, only this time they occur every 5 years, and are called Quinquennium Suppliciums, which is Latin for "punishment of 5 years". The Capitol have created many, many mutts for them. The games now accept a tribute from the ages of 10-21, for "entertainment". Even District 2 has come to hate the Capitol. In fact, every single person that lives in District 1-26 hates them, and they know that the Mockingjay is still alive, but Katniss is still to scared to rebel yet again, especially with her children to think of. But, if Katniss is alive, the fire keeps burning. If the fire keeps burning, there shall be hope.
