Introduction
Aaron Garze POV
My memories are still clear of how I killed my sister 7 years ago. I have been a proud mentor ever since. Nobody from District 10 has won since the 47th Hunger Games. My brother, Spike, is doing fine. He's 19 now while I am 21. Rose and Ray are only 14. They have four more years until their names will be out of the reaping.
The Capitol is having me back this year, for an interview. The last time the Capitol saw me was when I was 14. They are going to think I look different. Brown hair, hazel eyes. I look the same on the most part except for the fact that I am older, taller, and stronger.
I walk downstairs of my Victors' Village home. It's big compared to the farm that I once lived on.
"Hey, Aaron!" my dad yells from the kitchen.
"What?" I ask as I walk into the big kitchen.
"Reaping tomorrow so that means you are leaving again, right?" I nod to my dad.
"But dad." His heads turn from where he is cooking eggs. "I am having an interview. With Caesar again because they want to see how I am living and they want my opinion on the tributes."
"We will make sure to watch that," my dad replies, turning his back to me to get back to cooking his eggs.
"What about Rose and Ray? They are still eligible for the reaping," I tell dad.
"What about me?" I turn around to look whose voice that was from. Rose is on her way down the steps. Her auburn hair is in a messy bun and her green eyes are giving dad and I the devil stare.
"Nothing. Just talking about the reaping tomorrow," I tell her and she nods. I turn my attention back on my dad and say, "I am going to see Dixie." He nods and I wave a goodbye before walking out the door.
The humid hair hits my face almost immediately. Dixie Cane was my mentor, but now we are both mentors. In a way she is my best friend even though she is a bit older than me. Before knocking her door, I look out of the Victors' Village. I see a glimpse of the Justice Building. The peacekeepers are getting it ready. I breathe heavily, thinking of what could happen to Rose and Ray. I knock on the door.
"Coming Aaron" Dixie yells. "My parents are here! I am so excited for you to meet them," Dixie says while she opens the door.
"Why haven't I met them before?" I ask her.
"My parents and I weren't getting along then," she tells me with a sad face but then a smile is put on her face. "Please Aaron, come in, come in."
I nod to her and walk into the house that is identical to mine. I see an older man sitting on the couch with an older woman. I smile as I see Dixie's parents.
"David Cane, how do you do?" the old man stands up with his hand out.
I shake his hand and say, "Aaron Garze."
"So this is Aaron. Aaron Garze. I remember watching your Games just 7 years ago. I felt so bad. My name is Terry Cane," the older woman stays on the couch as she speaks.
"I try to forget what happened in the arena," I tell her. I sit on a plush, green chair.
"Did you have breakfast Aaron?" Dixie asks me.
"No," I say and Dixie heads into her kitchen. "Would you excuse me for one moment?" I ask David and terry. The both nod.
"They are so cute together," I hear Terry Cane whisper and I role my eyes.
I practically run into the kitchen.
"Dixie! Why didn't you tell me you had parents?" I yell at her, making sure her parents don't hear.
"Because I didn't know they would ever come and see me again," she replies.
"They think we are together too!" I yell at her a bit louder than before.
"Ha! That's crazy!" Dixie laughs.
"Yeah, well fix that! You are years older than me!" I say to her.
"Ok, I will, I will," Dixie says while spreading some jam on toast. She gives me the toast and I nod a thank you. We both walk into the living room and sit on a couch that is across from her parents.
"Mom, dad. Aaron and I aren't together," Dixie tells them while I eat my toast with fresh raspberry jam.
"Oh, well we just thought you were seeing that he comes here every day you said," David replies.
"Yes I was with his older brother when he died. I was Aaron's mentor. In a way we are already close because of our pasts. Just don't say that, it's weird," Dixie tells her father.
"Well I really should be going," I tell them.
"You nearly just got here Aaron," Terry says as I get up from the couch.
"I have things to do today, sorry, but I really have to go," I say as I go to the kitchen and put the plate in the sink.
I walk out of the kitchen and into the living room again. "Nice meeting you," I say as I walk to the front door with Dixie.
"See ya tomorrow then. Maybe this year we will have another victor," Dixie says.
"Highly unlikely," I say and give Dixie a hug goodbye. Dixie and I aren't together, we are just close friends.
I walk back into my house to see Ray and Rose at the kitchen table.
"Hey Aaron!" Ray yells. Even at the age of 14 Ray is still energetic.
"Hey," I say as I sit at the table. I press a button on the table and some juice comes to me. Red and clear, cranberry juice. I get up and walk to the fridge. My eyes narrow down on one thing in it, fizzy soda. I walk back over to where I was sitting and pour the fizzy liquid into the red juice. I pick up my cup and move it in circular motions so the flavors mix. I take a sip and then say ask, "Ready for the reaping tomorrow?"
Rose and Ray look at me with blank faces. They shake their heads. I really hope neither of them get picked. That would mean that I would have to mentor one of them. I would have to teach game strategy. How could I when they are my siblings? Teaching them how to survive before they are put into a battle of the death. I shake my head clear of all thoughts and think about what could come next.
