Hey! First fanfic, don't judge ;) I've seen loads of O.C, Katniss/Peeta, and even SYOT, but I haven't seen ANY fanfics about Prim, which I thought was strange, as she's a really important character, and she's sort of my favourite XD So this is The Hunger Games from Prim's P.O.V, and it's showing everyone that she's not some insignificant little girl, she's not just Katniss' sister. Ok, I'm not going to waste any more of your time with my ramblings, enjoy the story :D


Chapter 1- The Field

I race through the forest of the arena, tripping on roots and broken branches, my chest heaving and my heart pounding as the wolves inch closer to me. I claw at my jacket, trying to find a knife hidden in a pocket or anything to fend off the wolves. They're snapping at my heels and shredding the bottoms of my trousers, their cruel, cold eyes trained directly on me. Red veins creep into my vision, and I know I'm not going to last much longer. A set of jaws suddenly grasps my rucksack, and I am thrown to the ground. As the terrifying beasts advance towards me, I scream-

"KATNISS! HELP! NO!"
Two strong arms lift me up and hold me close as sobs rack my body and I try to grasp hold of reality.
The arms gently stroke my hair, and a voice gently whispers in my ear.
"Shh, it's okay. It was just a dream"
"I-It was me. It was me!"

I start crying again, and Katniss' voice breaks as she speaks
"It's only your first year Prim. Your names only been in there once, they're not going to pick you."
I try to be relieved, but the dream seemed so real, like it was actually happening. The wolves' snapping jaws, the pain shooting up my calves as my feet hit the forest floor. I shake my head.
"Sing to me"
Katniss smiles and strokes my forehead.

"Deep in the meadow,
Under the willow.
A bed of grass,
A soft green pillow..."

She smiles again. I love her smile, the way her eyes light up. In the Seam, light in people's eyes is hard to come by.
Katniss kisses my cheek and lays me down.
"Why don't you finish off the song by yourself? I've got to go, I'll be back soon."

I nod and close my eyes until I can hear the front door open and close. I shoot out of bed, get dressed and rush downstairs. Buttercup nuzzles against my leg, and I gently stroke his skinny body. Too excited to eat, I climb out of the window into the overgrown wilderness behind our little house. I run until the Seam is just a tiny speck in the distance, and I'm stood in a giant field of huge colourful flowers and overgrown grass.

It's the only place I can be free. Katniss has her woods, and I have my field. Where the flowers are almost as tall as me and the beautiful meadow stretches as far as the eye can see. In the distance, across the valley crowned with lush green mountains, I can see the edges of the woods, where our district doubles back on itself. I imagine Katniss tiptoeing through the woods, shooting animals, gathering fruit, then maybe sat with Gale on the edge, where the district meets the mountains. I wave to this imaginary pinhead-sized Katniss, and swear I can almost see her sat laughing with Gale. I don't care how scared I am about the Reaping, if this is my last day in district 12, I'm going to enjoy it. I smile and let myself fall back into the grass, and softly sing to myself.

"Lay down your head,
And close your sleepy eyes.
And when again they open,
The sun will rise"


Aww, cute ending ;) Sorry it's so short, I'm lazy. Did anyone notice my cheeky little Katniss-Meeting-With-Gale through the eyes of Prim? Oh yes, I'm imaginative. Feel free to review, they make my day! I'm open to anything, Praise, Constructive Criticism, or even if you just want to tell me how awful you thought it was, be my guest ;) And would you prefer Prim being reaped and Katniss volunteering like the book, or do you want Prim to go into the arena, along with an O.C who would be like Peeta? Please PM/Review what you want, I'll be taking votes! :D
