Cold swept through her window, but she was only woken when her mother shook her awake. She was too tired to question it so without hesitation she tumbled out the door and into the snow. Goosebumps crawled up her arms like tiny bugs she couldn't shake off.

'Mama, I'm cold,' she whispered as a delicate snowflake fell lightly on the tip of her nose.

'Be quick. Go and get yourself a coat,' her mother reproached in a sharp voice she had never heard her use. She stumbled into the darkness of the apartment covered in candy coloured bricks, half blinded by a thin layer of snow that had settled on her eyelids. She searched the cupboard until she found her much loved lemon-yellow coat. She hurried out the door and into the snow, where her mother pulled her up and hurried through the streets where many people still half lost in a world of dreams stumbled towards the mansion where he lived. A girl no older than eighteen with her head hunched forward suddenly turned around, and the girl with the lemon coat caught a glimpse of her bright grey eyes. The girl was puzzled. No one in the Capitol had eyes that colour. The eyes of the Capitol inhabitants where either genetically enhanced to become something bright and artificial, or they were blue or brown. And then she realised. She could just see it, beneath all that powder, lipstick, fur, fake curls and scarves that coated her body, was the face of Katniss Everdeen. But before she could cry out, alert somebody, before she could reveal what was behind the girl's mask of makeup, a ripple of gunfire echoed through the night, slicing through everything; from delicate snowflakes to wigs made up of thick, heavy green curls. But it less than a second, a bullet hit the stomach of her mother, and she fell into the snow, her yellow curls tilting off to reveal the auburn hair underneath. The world suddenly seemed frozen in numbness as the girl fell to her knees, screaming as scarlet red blood slowly trickled down her mother's body. Then suddenly more bullets streamed through the air, and that was the moment that the innocence in the world was gone forever.
