My name is Charlotte Hannah. I'm eighteen years old. I'm from District of Panem. The Hannah's have a curse placed by a witch. The curse says that any family member has to be married by twenty years of age. The witch who placed it wanted to marry my five time great grandfather. He refused to do so and married another woman. The witch was so angry she cursed him. The curse can only end if a descendant marries a Hunger Games Victor. I broke it by marrying Haymitch Abernathy. Haymitch is a descendant of the witch. The morning I first met Haymitch I was by the fence.
I was walking along the fence of District 12. Listening hard, I wait for the crackle of electricity. I hear nothing and climb through the fence. I pull my other foot through as voice call out.
"Hey, sweetheart", he calls. "You're not supposed to go in the woods."
I look over and see Haymitch Abernathy.
"I know that", I reply. "What are you doing in the Seam? You could be in the better part of town."
"I could be", he says. "It gets kind of boring after a while. I see the same things all the time. What's your name, sweetheart?"
"Charlie Hannah", I say. "I live here in the Seam."
"I kind of figured", Haymitch says. "You have the Seam look about you. Dark hair and gray eyes. I heard of your family. The Hannah family has a curse, right?"
"Yeah", I said. "The only way it can be broken is if I marry a victor. I doubt it'll happen though."
"You're hinting at something", Haymitch asks. "Aren't you?"
"No", I reply.
"I like you, sweetheart", he says. "You would make a good wife to somebody."
I laugh as we part ways. I promise him I'd be there again.
