Adri's POV

Adri run! Get as far away from here as possible and don't turn back! Bang!

"Jesus Christ!" I yelled. As I regained my self awareness I found myself covered with tiny sticky beads of sweat that ran up and down my body. The last thing I saw was my father's blood splattered on the floor. I knew it was a dream, but I could still feel my father's blood dripping into the crevasses and indents in our wooden floors. To this day I still have to wash out the maroon stain in my kitchen. After the incident, I left my new home of district two and had to take care of myself in my childhood home back in Panem, 30 years after Snow's death, and 12 years after my parent's execution. I don't know why but I decided to cut away the board and take it with me to remember my father. Why does that one moment keep me up at night, it's been 12 years since the shooting and since the execution.

Seth's POV

Another day another dozen mutts to kill. I thought to myself. "Morning." A voice squeaks, the voice caused a small change in color on my face. "M-morning Kristal." I murmur. Damn you you stupid brain, that's all you can say to her? "So how was it last night?" She asks me. "W-what do you mean?" Damn my stupid stutter. "The huge killing spree you and Mystic went on. The one that you left me and Jonathan behind on." She whisper yells. I usually like to leave her and Jonathan behind because 1) Jonathan is a show off, and 2) Kristal doesn't have abilities like we do, and 3) If it were up to me, I'd be her guard, not Jonathan, I care about her way more than he does. "So how does it feel to have escaped the Hunger Games?" She asks. "Not to much different than escaping district twel..." I get interrupted by a thud. Jonathan just fell off his bunk right on his back. "Why do you have your weapons?" I ask. "I'm gonna make a trip to district eight, it could have more of you." She responds. To her, we are human shaped mutts, but from what I've found out she still thinks we're human (ish). We are human, but we aren't considered them because of our unique abilities, the districts consider us mutts, and Present Snow considers us weapons. The only thing we use them for is to kill the mutts that Snow sends into the capitol, it was two years ago on this day that we found a pale, brown eyed girl staring into the eyes of a mutt we call Beta. A Beta is a breed of mutts or mutations that are liquid humans with the abilities of an Omega, which is what we are. An Omega is a type of human with an unexplainable power or ability, mine is psychic and telepathy, Jonathan's is lightning and storm, and Mystic is an Alpha, something that has almost every ability, being an Alpha is extremely rare and hard to master. Somehow Jonathan is the leader, even though Mystic is an Alpha and he's an Omega. "Bye Seth!" She says, then runs out the door.

Jonathan's POV

Uhh what did I do last night? I thought to myself. "You fell off the bed and slammed your back on the ground seven feet below you." Announced a voice behind me. "Seth? How the hell do you know what I'm thinking?" "Remember what I told you the day we went into hiding? How I have certain abilities. That's how." He really can be pretty annoying. Seth is my friend, he and Mystic ran away from district eight. As for me, I'm from district two, and my other friend is from district twelve (somehow), me, Mystic, and Set met at the capitol at age six to be evaluated as guards since we all had unique abilities, and have been a team for twelve years. As He hoists me up I notice something, the room is darker, the city seems half asleep, my weapons are covered in a maroon substance, and Kristal is gone. This seems usual after what we deal with, fighting a mini war between us and the mutts that were never meant to be released by the resurrected President Snow, Kristal having to go back and forth between districts two three and eight, and me trying to find the best way to kill Snow. His rise to power again left everyone speechless, but somehow he made it into government, quarantining district 12 and 13 to stop the rebels that took him out in the first place. Something seemed off about today, as if I had missed something. "YAWN. Hey, good morning guys!" Mystic mumbled, gracefully hovering above his bed, both of us have top bunks so waking up is always hard (especially if you're half asleep). Man he has got to show me how to do that. "He can't, it's impossible to learn someone else's powers." Seth reminded me, accidentally spilling milk on the floor. "Than why did you keep asking me to teach you how to use my speed and storm abilities?" I questioned snarky. The room reeked of dry paint and sweat. Though it's true you can't learn a new ability, there is one that haunts you for everything you got. If you have an inexplainable ability or power (like mine to summon storms) than you occasionally have dreams of events that are yet to come, but you never know when they will happen. There still seems to be something missing, like if we forgot something, or someone. "Uhh guys you might want to see this!" Screamed Mystic in a hoarse voice. As me and Seth made our way to the window we heard screaming from outside.

Adri's POV

"Help! Someone please!" I screamed. Suddenly from behind me I heard someone yell "Mystic now!" when he did, the giant dog like mutt standing six feet away from me got engulfed in flames. A second voice shouted "Jonathan now is your time!" Something sailed over me. Just before it skewered the mutt I was slammed from my side. Next thing I know a bolt of lightning strikes the beast in its white fury underbelly. Three figures tower over my crippled body, I half expect them to kill me, thinking that they're Peace Keepers, instead the middle one with a blue mask grabs my limp body and hoists it over his shoulder, from what I can tell from my blurry vision that is slowly turning black, the three are wearing masks and are all male. "T-thank-k y-you." I murmur. Then, my vision blacks out.

Jonathan's POV

"Alright guys you know the drill attack plan delta!"I command "Mystic Now!" I scream as Seth charges the girl. I whip my arm around and throw my weapon into the now combust beast. On impact, the weapon skewers it and creates a mini storm above the beast's now bloody neck. I make my way over to the girl, her hair a shade of brown known not to me, her lime green eyes glossy, her face scratched and scarred, her cloths were a magenta t-shirt and blue jeans that were torn and covered in blood stains. She reminds me of myself after my first mutt attack. "Yeah except she wasn't as lucky." Seth replied grimly. "Wait she's dead?!" I yelled now on the left of Mystic who was carrying her crippled body on his shoulder. "No but she isn't doing so well, she passed out and we need to get her back to our place." Mystic says groggily. "Jonathan could you maybe use your speed ability to get us there before she dies of blood loss?" "Yep, hold on to your little buddy Mystic!"

Adri's POV

Where am I? "Relax we aren't Peace Keepers. How's your head?" One of them ask me. "Seth! What the hell did I say! I told you not to do that to people like them! It's bad enough that she saw us, why would you want her to know!" Came a voice that sounded familiar. "Know what? Where am I? Who are you? Why am I here?" I question. "Shit, uhh nothing, we found you and brought you to our place to heal up." Came the voice from the back. "I saw something! It was a beast, then you three blew it to pieces! I want answers you scum bag! Or I could report three new mutts to Snow." I demand. "You wouldn't, you know it was his men who killed two districts and you wouldn't want to help him kill more now do you?" The man known as Seth exclaimed. Damn you! I want answers not smart asses like you three! "Fine then" says the middle one known as Seth. He took off his mask, one by one they all took off their masks, except the one in the back. "My name is Seth, this is Mystic, ant the one in the back is named..." "Seth I will kill you if you tell her!" Screamed the one in the back. "Why? If you lead the operation than why can't she know your name, or at least know what you look like." Seth asked somehow lifting the mans mask off his head. "I know his name. It's Jonathan. You said it in the battle." "Shit. Wait where's Mystic?" Jonathan growled. No one had seen him since I woke up.

Mystic's POV

Jesus Christ! What the hell is happening!? I thought. A squad of thirty Peace Keepers stormed down the street towards the mutt's dead corpse. As I headed over there I heard a shrill voice calling out for any sign of assassin or bandit who could kill the 7 foot carnivorous hound. A news helicopter was hovering over the sight. Just when I thought it couldn't get worse, a heavily armed hover craft landed on the far side of the thin allyway and out of it came something straight out of a nightmare, Snow himself. I went up to him to pull off a normal fanboy act, he claimed he had an interview to attend to and left. He meant the mutt. Suddenly the Peace Keepers didn't seem like a problem anymore, evacuating was the biggest concern.

Adri's POV

Mystic ran in while Seth reapplied my bandages. "Guys it's a code red! I repeat code red!" He screamed breathlessly. "What!? Why? Never mind, everyone out now!" Yelled Seth, crushing my arm. "Good, I've been meaning to kick his ass, it would've happened some day." Jonathan smirked. "What's a code red?" I ask. "Snow has been spotted in the area, it's no longer safe to proceed in our living conditions." Seth explains. You know what? Everyone seems fine with me being here except for Jonathan, I wonder why? And why isn't he scared of Snow like Seth and Mystic are? Seth grabs my arm and hauls me out the door in one arm, in the other is a backpack full of belongings and two daggers. "He isn't to keen on the idea of you joining us. We've been just a guy's group of refugees for ten years, then there was one newcomer a couple of years ago, he doesn't except many newcomers."Seth grunted.

Jonathan's POV

This can't end well. To escape, we have to get through an army of Peace Keepers, add in the fact that each of us have retractable weapons in our bags and you get one tough time getting through the crowd without getting caught. To explain what a retractable weapon is, it's a weapon that can become smaller so it can fit into our bags. Each person has a bag, there are three bags, one for food and water, one for notes and items, and one for weapons. Of course I got stuck with the weapons bag. Why wouldn't I. The new girl gets free from Seth's grasp and runs. I half expected her to rat us out so I slightly unzip my bag. Turns out she ran to a house a block away and helped us in. "So who's blood is this?" Mystic says between breaths. Before she can respond, I answer for her. "None of your business, although if you want to know I can put yours right beside it." "Jeez okay"

Adri's POV

Is it just me or did Jonathan just wince at the end of that sentence? "It was just you." Seth smirked "we never actually got your name did we?" "Sorry 'bout that, my name's Adri, this is my home, I live..." Jonathan cuts me off "Alone, got it. Thanks for the tour but we have to go, a block isn't enough distance from the flower freak." "I always kind of liked the rose he carries around." I interject trying to change the subject. The more time I spend with these guys, the more connected I feel to them, we have mostly the same issues, we both lost everything, we both hate Snow, and we all just want to run, except Jonathan. "Don't get to attached to us, you and I both know we will have to part ways eventually." Seth sighs. Suddenly I hear something, the shower head. I never said they could use my bathroom! "Trust me, they need a shower, plus they don't listen to anyone except me and themselves." Seth groans. "Hey guys where's the bathroom?" Mystic asks as he enters the room covered in blood and dirt. "What the fuck happened!?" Seth screams. "I was practicing my aim with my pistol in the back, when a squad of Peace Keepers jumped the fence and beat me." The sentence ended in a chuckle. "The door all the way on the left." I respond. "Thanks" Mystic responds and walks off. "You do know Jonathan's in there right?" "Yep. It's my payback for dragging me into this mess." "You could just leave you know. But I think I get it, you care about us, and you owe us for helping you." Just as the room falls silent we hear a blast from the back yard. "Damn it Jonathan, why can't you just lose for once?" I hear.

Mystic's POV

I see Seth come outside with his twin daggers, and Adri come out with a frickin mini gun. Jonathan obviously didn't notice for two reasons, 1) he kept on fighting, 2) he didn't blush this time. The good news is that we finished off the Peace Keepers. Suddenly he noticed, his face turned the slightest shade of pink, she didn't notice, but Seth being able to read minds like a kid reading a fan fiction story on the app (caution the fourth wall has been terminated) and me having known him since he was six and been with him for the past 12 years, noticed. "Weren't you in the shower?" Adri asked with a slight blush, this time everyone noticed. "Me and Mystic have the ability to teleport from place to place. But it makes us a bit hungry so could you maybe order a pizza or something?"

Adri's POV

I can't believe that this is happening, if they could teleport than why do I have to help them? "You know why." Seth responds. "Than why mister smart ass?" "Because you care about me and Mystic." "What about Jonathan?" "You know what. Because you know he is going to get himself killed." "That's fair, um, could you tell the others to wait for me? I have to change out of my blood gown." I said motioning to my blood covered clothes and skin. Something about his expression tells me that it's a good idea, as if he's expecting something.

Jonathan's POV

I would not! I can take care of myself! But seriously why can't I just get a pizza? The door bell rings, sending a slight shiver down my spine. "I'll get it!" I hear as the green eyed girl walks downstairs to the door. I notice her attire instantly, her bandages are entirely covered by a grey long sleeved shirt, her blue jeans replaced with new ones, her lime green eyes no longer filled with fear, her brown hair left alone, she looked like one of us, a rebel left to die, someone who lost everything but still goes on. I can't leave her here, especially after she knows us, not because of Snow, but because of what will happen in the near future. Especially after the rebirth of the Hunger Games. Before she opens the door I smell something, an intoxicating smell, one that could kill, before the door opens I yell "EVERYONE GET DOWN!" As I finish my sentence, the door blows off it's hinges and slamms into the cold, hard, floor, shattering the bones in her foot. "NO!" I scream. A strong voice says "Take the girl, leave the tributes." That voice was Snow's.

Jonathan's POV

They grabbed me Seth and Mystic, they knocked us out, and I woke up in a room. "Adri? Adri! Adri where are you?!" I scream, I black out. Now I'm facing the most hideous thing in all of Panem, a mutt with large puffed out lips, one with eyes as black as its soul and a snake like tongue, a mutt with pure white teeth and slick oily hair, a mutt that could kill hundreds with one word, and its name is Snow. "So how's life being a filthy mutt?" I smirk. This leads to him hitting me in the stomach filling my insides with pain. "You defy me and think I'm the mutt, cute. Your tough guy act will end once you make it to the arena in a month." "Oh, it's that time already? Than maybe you should grab some popcorn and watch me kick ass." Another punch. "I'm a nice guy, so I've made some arangements, first things first, Seth and your friend Mystic will be competing against you. Second, you will supply your weapons and risk someone else getting them at the start of the match. Third, you, Seth, and Mystic will be assigned a team instead of picking sides." "Sounds fair, one good thing and one bad thing." "I wasn't finished!" Another punch. "Fourth, the girl will be joining the games." The last one hits me like a rock. "No! I won't let you! I won't except it!" I yell, my voice cracking and hoarse. To me, he meant Kristal, the girl who lost it all, her home, her family, and her entire district, this would be a whole new form of torture for her. "You already have." The last thing I remember is him sticking a machine on my head, saying it would help with Seth's eavesdropping.

Seth's POV

How did Jonathan know he was coming? Did he plan this? Why did nobody stop him? Why did he not kill us? What is he doing to her? Why am I asking so many questions? Why is Jonathan so upset? What did they do to him in that room? Now I know what Mystic feels like when me and Jonathan get into conversations about his thoughts. All I know is that either Mystic or Jonathan was in on it. The only thing Jonathan is telling us is that we're safe, yet in the games. Somehow I can't read his thoughts, as if he learned to counteract them. "Jonathan please you have to help me out here! What did he say? What did he do?" Nothing, he responds by saying nothing. I look around the small cell, at the shiny porcelain restroom, the grey dirty stone we sleep on, and at the shiny iron bars holding us back. Iron! Metal and iron can be melted! "Mystic! Teleport out of your cell!" I Screamed. "I'm to hungry and the cell is sealed shut with a special stone." He replied. "Then use your fire to melt the bars, then let us out of our cells!" I scream. "I can't. Mine was built specially from stone." He replied. "Than use your fire punch! Isn't that how we escaped the first time?" "Oh yeah!" Next thing you know you see stones flying out from the center of the cells, crushing both guards. "Jonathan lets go!" I command. "I've already been to your destination, I have someone to talk to." Great, now Jonathan is going to be seperated from the group.

President Snow's POV

"Welcome, please sit. I assume you think I've altered your friend's brain and he's going to come in here right now to kill you, that's not the case. I recapped him on the same information I gave you. The Hunger Games are coming soon, I need coaches, competitors, and Avoxes. This year I have assigned the first Hunger Games in thirty years to be only criminals and accused, the victors will be freed, the others will be dead." I say, a smile growing like a weed across my face. "What do you mean 'victors'? Is there multiple?" The man known as Seth asked. "Yes each of you are assigned a team of two people from the same district. Each team is from a different district. I've made some arangements, first things first, Jonathan will be competing against you. Second, you will supply your weapons and risk someone else getting them at the start of the match." They knew what I meant, they left right away.

Adri's POV

What happened? Where am I? Why am I here? Where's Jonathan? What happened to them? Suddenly a voice spoke from behind me "Welcom! I am president Snow, and you are Adri from district two, or so that's what your friends told me. They're not at all in any harm though, not yet at least." "What did you do to them!?" "Nothing. What? Did they not tell you? They got captured last year, I noticed how much they loved fighting, so I sentenced them to compete in the first ever Hunger Games in twenty nine years. They did something unexpected and thought to be impossible, they escaped my grasp, but still had to compete, but the never did, so they were canceled until their return, and since you were kind enough to help them once, so maybe you could help them again, in the games." "No! Why would I do that?" I yelled, my voice cracking. "So you can spend your last days with them, and so you can join your father, or for the fame and fortune that comes with it."
