This story was inspired for me by two questions I had. The first was, what if a member of Johanna's family survived? This gave me my central character. The second question will be revealed later; it would give away too much of the plot at this point.
This chapter is just the prologue. All future chapters will be much longer!
I have cowered long enough. Hiding in the woods, living in the trees. I stay as far away as possible from all and any signs of civilization, out of a fear that grips my entire being; that controls me completely. I hunt for my meals as my sister taught me and I drink from streams. I was nearly always hungry, but I lived this way for more than a year. Dirty. Scared. Hungry.
There is no other choice; Capitol is after me. They've killed my family and I've been lucky to escape. And I know why they did it: Johanna.
Johanna.
Over a year of hiding and they find me. Capitol. Or, I think they're Capitol people. They must be, judging by their hovercraft. When I wake up in the hospital with a kindly nurse looking down on me and I realize I've been healed, they explain.
I am Morgan Mason, sister of Johanna Mason. I am a fugitive, thought to be dead, hiding from Capitol. I am young and weak and my mind is suffering and struggling to stay put together. I am a citizen of District 13.
