A/N: I don't own the Hunger Games. I made this story up with a fake character's POV. The following characters I do not own: Katniss Everdeen, Peeta Mellark, Effie Trinket, President Snow, Gale Hawthorne, Haymitch Abernathy, and President Coin. I will add more characters from the book as I move on with the story. ENJOY! I've also changed this up a bit
Chapter 1
"I don't know what it is that people want from me, I just now it's highly impossible."
My name is Lyn Thorne. I was from district 13. Many of you know The Hunger Games, many know about Katniss Everdeen, and many know about her fellow tribute Peeta Mellark. But what you don't know…is how President Snow fiddled with the names being called the day of the reaping. The 74th Hunger Games have started and Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark have no idea what they have started by just pulling out those berries.
I traveled district to district, paying close attention to when Effie Trinket pulled out the names; she had no idea. President Snow did something to them names. I was sent to study what might have happened, but there was no evidence. So, now I begin the story of where the rebellious act fist took place.
I sit around the table where we always meet. President Coin, my mother, walks slowly back and forth, looking angry. I hate that my mother is like this. She has always wanted to overthrown President Snow, my father. Yes, they were in love at one point; very unusual indeed. But it's not a lie.
I'm thirteen years old. I have dark brown curls, green eyes, and lightly tanned skin. I've watched Katniss and Peeta in action. My mother has always thought Peeta was a much better fighter, much better leader for us, and better with his words; basically he was perfect for the image of the rebels. I, on the other hand, thought Peeta and Katniss should BOTH be rescued in the Quarter Quell, but no, Haymitch Abernathy had to convince my mother, which almost never happens, to save Katniss, and leave Peeta. He said that Peeta wanted to keep Katniss safe, that this time, he wanted Katniss to go back home. I thought it was sweet, but Peeta didn't know that we were going to rescue Katniss and some other tributes from the games.
All happened in a day; District 12 was destroyed, Katniss was saved a long with some other tributes, some residents from the District 12 were saved. But Peeta, he was left. When everything happened, I knew what President Snow was planning to do to Peeta, so. . . I told everyone.
"You guys don't understand. While I was infiltrating the Capital, I overheard President Snow's plans. He's going to hijack Peeta, turn his memories of Katniss into a lie, make him want to kill Katniss, and make Katniss suffer because Peeta will never be like he used to be. You guys don't care about Peeta? Huh, Katniss?" I feel my face burn; I was annoyed on how these people, especially Haymitch and Katniss, would betray Peeta; leave him to President Snow's filthy hands.
"Lyn, when were you ever told to infiltrate the Capital?" My mother yelled at me. I hate to be embarrassed like this. But, I won't let my mother put me down; I simply was trying to get someone she wanted in the first place.
Right then, I let my anger got the best of me and I spill, "You were the one who thought Peeta was better than Katniss! I thought both Peeta and Katniss should be saved, so President Snow wouldn't have something to make Katniss weak! Haymitch and Katniss, don't you think we at least need to save Peeta?"
I thought Katniss was going to settle with being quiet, but she said, "I agree, Peeta is the reason why I'm here in the first place. Haymitch, we need to rescue Peeta," the room fell silent. My mother was angry at me. Haymitch had a look on his face that told everyone he was fine with whatever. The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
"Well, mother?" I asked her as she turned to me, looking me straight in the eyes.
Her angry expression fades away into a determined face, she says, "We will rescue Peeta…But, Lyn, you are going to rescue him, on your own. Prove to me, that you are as willing to become a leader as the leader of a flock."
My mother had officially lost her mind. Does she really expect me to rescue Peeta on my own? I was going to say something but then Katniss says, "I will go with her. Besides, I owe Peeta a lot."
I'm glad Katniss decided to join me. She being seventeen will help me, we make a good team. Mother glares at Katniss. But Katniss stands next to me, trying not to look scared.
"Very well, anyone else?" My mother looks heated. She definitely doesn't want anyone else to join. But…
"I'm going. Wherever Katniss goes, I go," Gale Hawthorne says. Gale is Katniss's best friend/ lover/ "cousin". I don't know what her feelings are for him, but she seems to be very close to him. He's handsome and all, but Katniss has a big decision so make between Peeta and Gale, I mean those two hunks-
"I'm going. We are going to need someone up in the air with a bird's eye," Haymitch volunteers.
The look on my mother's face is priceless. Sometimes, it hurts that it seems like my mother hates me, that I'm just some big letdown, and that to her I'm just a little rat waiting for life to end. My mother thinks I'm not capable of doing anything right. I sometimes want to never see her again. She even had the guts to change my last name to Thorne. Alma Coin, you seem more like my enemy than my own mother.
"Wait, I want to go," Finnick says. Mother then starts to explain why he can't go. I feel bad for Finnick, but soon Annie will be there with him, and he'll be happy.
"Okay, looks like you got yourself a team," my mother says, "you're to meet Beetie in the weaponry room. Get what you need; weapons, transportation, and whatever small things you'll need to complete this 'quest'."
We walk out the door, heading for the elevators; Haymitch says quietly so only we can hear it, "Well, Lyn, that look on your mother's face was priceless."
I turn and grin at him. Katniss seems to smile too, Gale remains serious like always. I know Katniss is starting to dislike my mother already because of her ruthlessness and her hunger for power. Just about anyone here dislikes my mother.
We head down to the weaponry. We talk there about from what angle we enter President Snow's mansion, what we will need, and where could President Snow be hiding Peeta. All I know; this is going to be the most exciting, dangerous, and lively thing I've ever done. I can't wait to see the look on my mother's face when we have Peeta here, safe and sound…
A/N: I hope you guys enjoyed! This is my first story in progress. I hope to have many reviews!
