Prologue

choking darkness. That's all I could feel, a darkness I couldn't escape from.
i flailed my paws helplessly, my lungs aching for air. As if it were a miracle, my head broke the surface of the water. I gasped for breath.
my big blue eyes gazed around the endless sea of water. I narrowed my eyes at a brute tom - Darkwing.
"You don't have to do this!" I screeched, pain searing through a wound on my upper shoulder. "We can win together! They might let us!"
"Oh, Moonfeather. Always trying to make things go your way." Darkwing chuckled cruelly. My pupils grew to slits as the tom leapt into the water, the sweeping currents causing him to swim faster than he normally could.
i tried to swim away, but it was no use. Darkwing grabbed a hold of my and pushed me underneath. I lifted my head back up for a gasp of air, only to be pushed back under, water filling my jaws instead.
i struggled to claw at the brute's side with my claws. I hit, causing him to screech in terror.
i swam to the top and gazed at the sky, gasping.
"Blackfrost!" I gasped. "Name our son Darkfrost, in honor of you and the tom who killed me... And our daughter Sparrowwing... So they carry the strength, of this game's victor." And with that, I was shoved under again, and a canon went off, signaling my death.
"ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the 75th hunger games is Darkwing from district 9!"
