He killed Lance, who was only eight. He killed Becky, who was only five. He killed Manda, who was only ten. And lastly, he killed Elissa by sending her to the games, and she was eighteen. My dad supposedly died in a mine crash along with Katniss's, but I believe that Snow did that on purpose as revenge. My mom disappeared one day and hasn't come back since, but I believe that President Snow has killed her as well.
Why President Snow came at my family is all because of me. You see, the peacekeepers has dragged a man out into the town square and started whipping him. I was one of the people in the crowd, and people said that he had been hunting illegally. The peacekeeper whipped him without mercy, and soon it was too bloody to watch anymore. So I dashed up to the poor bloodied man and the peacekeeper just stared at me. Then he motioned the other peacekeepers over and they untied the man... and tied me to the stake. They tore off my shirt and whipped me at least ten times, but I lost count after that. The peacekeeper finally finished whipping me, untied me, and threw me into the crowd.
"Next time, mind your own business," the peacekeeper said as he walked away. The crowd started to part, leaving me alone to bleed on the pavement. I started to crawl around, not sure where I was going but hoping somebody, anybody, would help me. But everybody walked away from me, probably not wanting to get in trouble themselves. I finally was so weak that I collapsed onto the ground in my own blood. I closed my eyes, awaiting death, when I suddenly felt arms wrap around me and lift me up. I opened my eyes slowly and stared into the eyes of Gale Hawthorne.
"It'll be okay," he whispered down at me right before I blacked out.
