Hey there!
To apologize for not updating or posting for so long, I wrote this. I shall probably continue it... if you review, that is.
Now read! I've kidnapped Peeta and I ain't letting him go until I get ten reviews!
UPDATE: I've decided this should be an SYOT. If you'd like to submit a tribute, go to my profile and copy the form, and then send it in a review or PM! Thanks in advance!
My name is Katniss Everdeen Mellark.
I am thirty-eight years old.
All my nightmares are coming true.
I have two children, a girl and a boy. The girl, fifteen at the moment, is named Ashe Mellark. The boy, a mere twelve years of age, goes by Cin, short for Cinder.
We names them to honor all our deceased family members.
Nearly all of them were killed by fire.
My husband... he's another affair.
Peeta Mellark, a sweet, kind person who's been a huge part of my life. I think there is no one who can and does care for me as much as he does, and I'm very sure that I don't deserve him. Our children adore him with every bit of their heart.
We are a very... a very famous family in our country. People know us, and they know our life. I abhor it. They know us better than we do ourselves.
Both of us aren't exactly in best mental shape. We get nightmares, hallucinations. But there is a reason behind it, just like there is a reason for everything else.
We took part in the Hunger Games, about twenty years ago. It's been a long, long time. But some things, like our nightmares, just refuse to go away.
Today is the reaping.
Twenty years later, I still have the irrational fear of being chosen again, even though I know it won't happen.
But this time... this time, both my children are in danger.
They are in danger of dying, and I can't save them.
I'm afraid.
