Summary

Prim doesn't get picked for the 74th hunger games, So Katniss never has to go to the games. Peter gets picked but dies from Cato's knife wound. Surprisingly a boy from district 7 wins. Now it's the Quarter quell and things are different this year. Very different.

Prologue-Run!

I drift and I dream.

I stand in a clearing. I feel soft grass under my feet and wind in my hair. I see trees. A never ending ocean of trees. I sense danger. I run to the edge of the clearing. I need to run. Run run. It echoes round my head again and again. My instinct is to run, run get away. I can't find the exit. I will for and exit with all my might yet none appear. The foliage creates an inescapable cage. I sense a presence. I turn. 16 large shapes are looming over me. I scream and my legs are turned to stone and darkness descends upon me.

I open my eyes then shut them again. Tight. Today is the day of the reaping. The Quarter quell.
