N/A- First Hunger Games story. Please review and tell me how I can get better or anything else. Suzanne Collins owns all.
It was a cold day outside District 12. Samantha Cole turned up her coat and put her hood up. At seventeen years old she was tall for her age. She was very skinny with little meat to her arms and legs. Samantha walked to the bakery. Peeta was inside working with Katniss by his side. "Is Rue around?" Samantha asked.
Rue ran to Samantha and jumped on her back. She was short for eleven and loved to hunt like her mother. Her brother walked into the bakery. His hair was spiked and his look was rugged. "What is she doing here?" He asked.
Samantha had a history with him. Finnick didn't like her at all. "She hanging with me" said Rue.
Haymitch walked in. Samantha was hiding from him. "I thought I would find you here" he replied.
He had sobered up and Effie helped him along the way. They had a child together and married. "Dad, I want to hang" she said.
Haymitch had too many rules and was far to up tight at times. The loud speaker came on. "Districts it is time to start up the games again" President Parlor said.
Haymitch fell to his knees. Katniss and Peeta paled. Samantha, Rue, and Finnick just looked at each other. They knew nothing of the games. "It has been far too long since the last games happened. We need to remind people why there is no more games. Children of the victors will be choosen" said President Parlor.
Why now? Thought Katniss. Things had been stirring up. They all knew that. There had been talk of more games but, why now and why children of the victors. "I will find out more" said Haymitch.
"No you won't Haymitch. We will wait" said Katniss.
She had to be the voice of reason. They had to wait. Haymitch got up and hugged his daughter. He just knew she would be chosen. Katniss knew as well that her son would be chosen. "Dad what are the games?" Samantha asked.
Samantha always asked questions and never gave up until she got an answer. Haymitch let go of her. Looking her straight in the eye be said. "24 children where chosen to go in an arena. They were to fight to the death until only one was left."
She just nodded. Samantha heard a little about the games in school but, not that. "Why don't you take Rue back to our house. Finnick go with them and call Effie. She will want to be here" said Peeta.
Rue hopped onto Samantha's back. Finnick kicked open the door. He wanted to be there for this big meeting that was going to happen. Joanna caught the door. "Good kick Finnick. I knew there was a reason you were on the soccer team" said Joanna.
Finnick nodded as he walked out the door. Samantha followed suit. "Why can't we be there? We are old enough" said Finnick.
"But, Rue isn't and you know our parents won't let us be in there. I say were drop Rue off, call my mom then head back and ease drop" said Samantha.
Finnick thought that was a plan. Samantha's neighbor on the other side could watch Rue. He would too because they would tell him everything. They ran into Samantha's house. "Where's the fire" Jaxon called out.
He thought he was funny but, he was far from funny. Jaxon spent most of his days over at their house. His parents were hardly ever home. Jaxon was sitting watching t.v while playing with his iPad. "The games have started up again" Finnick said.
Effie paled and slowly got up from her chair. "They want you at the bakery mom" said Samantha.
"I'll go. You three stay here. Don't go out. It's almost eight" Effie stated.
After she left Samantha looked at Finnick. They would have to risk it. There was a knock at the door. Samantha answered it. "Jack what are you doing here?" She asked.
They had broke up a few weeks ago after she found out she was pregnant. It wasn't his but, Finnick's. "I heard about the games" said Jack.
Finnick cursed under his breath. He hated Jack with a capitol t. "Well, you best get home. It is almost eight. Jaxon watch Rue. We need to sneak out and if you tell Jack there will be a price to pay" Samantha said.
Jaxon didn't reply but, they left anyways after Rue got down. Making their way up the path Finnick asked. "Do your parents know?"
Samantha nodded. They knew alright. Haymitch went crazy when he found out. Effie was calm and cool about it. "You need to tell your parents and I am keeping it. I don't care if you are there or not" said Samantha.
Finnick hated that. He was going to be there. "I will be there Samantha and my parents know" he said.
She smiled as they hid behind the bakery. Katniss was speaking. "Our children will be chosen I am sure of it. They want us to pay for the rebellion."
Johanna was glad that she didn't have kids. Well, Jaxon was her's but, no one knew that. "Katniss everyone is gonna pay. I bet Annie's son is chosen" said Johanna.
Haymitch and Effie goaned. Annie's son would never make it out alive. He wasn't strong. "We have to stop this now" said Effie.
"No we wait it out. If they want to play games then we play. We gave them what they want just so we can tear it down" said Peeta.
He felt that they could stop these games before they started but, they had to do it the right way. "Fine" sad Haymitch.
A few days later a voice spoke out a again. "The reaping will take place tomorrow. Be ready boys and girls. The games are going to begin again. No one can volunteer for the games or anyone else" said President Parlor.
Samantha took a bite of her food as Jaxon just stared off into space. "Jaxon please eat your food" said Johanna.
Jaxon couldn't eat. He knew he wouldn't be chosen and he also knew he couldn't volunteer. "It isn't fair at all. What if I want to be in the games?" Jaxon asked.
He read up on the games and thought he could win them. Haymitch threw his fork down and left the table. He couldn't handle this. Effie got up and followed him. "Jaxon you don't want to be in the games. I faced two and survived but, this time is bound to be different" said Johanna.
She was very angry and knew her son was safe for now. Johanna hoped to keep it that way. That's why she left her district and moved here. "Your mother is right. I looked up the games and we don't want to be in them" said Samantha.
The next day Samantha put on her best dress. She brushed her long hair back then pulled it in a bun. Samantha cleaned up her messy room then walked down the stairs. "Hey mom and dad. I'm ready" she said.
Haymitch stormed to his and Effie's room. Effie hugged her daughter. "I want you to have this" Effie spoke.
She gave her a gold necklace with the letter s on it. Samantha put it on. "Mom I love it" she said.
Samantha walked out the door where Finnick was waiting. "I thought I would walk with you" Finnick said.
All the way she didn't say a word to him. Once in the square, she walked up to a table where they poked her. The lady smiled. She knew what was going on. "Have a nice day Miss Abernathy" Said the lady.
The lady knew Samantha was pregnant and that Finnick was the father. There was a spy in district twelve. "You too" Samantha replied in a angry voice.
