Okay, so I'm going to attempt a songfic. I had an idea yesterday, when I was trying to get to sleep. So, the song is Everybody's Fool by Evanscence. Read, enjoy, review!

Perfect by nature
Icons of self indulgence

Jessica brushed her white-blonde hair back from her face, smiling at the corpse. She withdrew the knife from the body and wiped it on her pant leg. Perfect. Jessica was perfect. She'd easily killed a large number of the tributes herself, including most of the career pack that she'd broken off from.

That'd been her angle for the interview as well as the games: A ruthless killer. A very pretty killer, but a killer all the same.

A voice came over the loudspeaker. "Ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to present the victor of the 57th Hunger Games, Jessica Thornheart! I give you, the female tribute of District 1!" She smiled as the hovercraft appeared, ready to take her away...

Just what we all need
More lies about a world that
Never was and never will be

After Jessica was fixed up like new, thanks to the Capitol, and after the short train ride home, she walked through the train station, head held high. She ignored the flashing cameras, the swarming interviewers. She even walked right past a few of her siblings. She had four sisters and two brothers. Jessica walked straight past them, and into the town square. District 1 was wealthier than most, selling jewels, fine clothes, and other assorted luxury items to the Capitol. The town square was large, with scattered reporters waiting to interview her. Jessica smiled. She was the victor of the 57th Hunger Games. Fame and fortune for the rest of her life.

She walked straight through the square, headed to Emily's house. Emily was her best friend. They'd been best friends their whole lives.

Jessica reached the house and knocked on the door. After a moment, Emily opened it. Tears were streaming down her face. But when Emily saw Jessica, her expression changed. It went from sad to...

Furious. Downright furious, and somewhat hateful.

"How could you." Emily whispered the words, but it was more painful than if she'd shouted them, burned them into Jessica's skin.

"What?" I demanded. I already knew the answer, but playing dumb was worth a try.

"Don't lie. You know exactly what I'm talking about." She narrowed her eyes menacingly. When Jessica didn't respond, Emily started crying all over again. "Liam!" She nearly shrieked it.

Jessica flinched. Liam. Their agreement....

Liam Sampfister was Emily's boyfriend. He'd been chosen as the male tribute. Emily had made Jessica promise not to touch him...

And she ended up not just touching him, but killing him.

In his sleep.

It was low- way low- but it'd been necessary to keep up her image...

It didn't seem that great of an excuse now.

"Have you no honour? No shame?" Emily glared. "How dare you kill him, break your promise, and then expect everything to end perfectly!" Her voice was hostile and cold now. "You've changed Jessica. You're not the girl who was my best friend. You're a monster!" She proceded to slam the door in Jessica's face.

Have you no shame? Don't you see me?
You know you've got everybody fooled

I returned to the square, gloomy. Reporters and random people from around the city cheered when I approached. I ignored them, walking right past. Their cheers echoed behind me as I went to another friend's house.

Look, here she comes now
Bow down and stare in wonder
Oh how we love you
No flaws when you're pretending

Mark... he would understand. He was Jessica's boyfriend. He would understand.... he would help...

But now I know she
Never was and never will be

By the time she got to Mark's house, she was panting. Jessica had ended up running, trying to relieve the building stress and horror.

It didn't work.

Jessica knocked frantically at Marks door, praying that he was home.

He was. He opened the door. His face was stony.

"Jessica." His voice was cold too. "What do you want?"

Not again, Jessica thought. "I... Emily's really mad at me... because... Liam..."

His expression becamse impossibly colder. "She has every right. On that note? So do I."

Oh, crud. Mark had been Liam's best friend. What was I thinking...

"I never want to see your face again. You betrayed me. I know you made a deal with Emily, and I'd say that applies for us too." He stepped back slightly. "We're over." The door slammed in my face.

You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled

No... I had to do it... I would have died if people weren't scared of me... Thoughts streamed through Jessica's head at a mile a second.

Without the mask, where will you hide?
Can't find yourself, lost in your lie

A part of Jessica knew that Mark and Emily weren't the only ones who would hate her. The whole district would shun her. That was what happened when you turned on your partner. Especially when you had a particularly popular partner.

No one would accept her... what was fame a fortune when the world hated you...?

I know the truth now
I know who you are
And I don't love you anymore

There was only one thing to do.

The country thought she was a beautiful, crazy, killing machine? Well, might as well die one.

It Never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled

Jessica ran home. Her family was still at the train station, trying to get to her.

Good, because they wouldn't want to see this.

She had to kick the door down. It would be really bad later, but Jessica was beyond reasoning. She ran to the kitchen and threw open drawers, searching, looking for that one drawer...

There. The cutlery.

She grabbed a long, shiny knife. Jessica smiled. Perfect. It was very sharp, too.

She went outside, to her backyard. She lay down on the soft grass and placed the tip of the knife over her heart, making sure that it was between her ribs.

"Goodbye," she whispered...

It never was and never will be
You're not real and you can't save me
Somehow now you're everybody's fool

And shoved the knife straight down.
