AN: Hi everybody!

This is my first fanfiction, and I'm hoping people will read it. The first couple of chapters are short, but once I get going they will be longer. I already have about 4 chapters written for this story, but I want a review or two before I put lots of effort into uploading the rest.

Ch 1 Escape

I woke up, lights blinding me. I tried to clear my head as my vision refocused. It suddenly all slammed back to me. My escape from the 74th Hunger Games

It was night, and I had climbed a tree to sleep in. Suddenly, the arena felt as if it were tilting. In fact, it was tilting! I pivoted myself around the branch I was on to stay upright. I saw tributes sliding towards certain death- the electrified force field. I saw Clove, Peeta, Thresh and Foxface. But worst of all, I saw Cato. They smashed into the force field, the pile of limp bodies looking very lifeless. I screamed, "CATO!" hoping it would somehow save him. My eyes teared up. I had lost the only person I ever loved other than Prim. Suddenly, my tree was uprooted, and I too fell to what I was sure was my death. That's where my memory ends.

I sat bolt upright, looking for someone to answer my questions. I see Haymitch and he nods at me. Surprisingly, he doesn't seem drunk. "You're finally awake, huh sweetheart?" I can tell he's grumpy from lack of alcohol.

I stare at him. "Where are we?" I pause, "Am I alive?"

Haymitch laughed. "We're in a hovercraft. And yes, you happen to still be alive. The top of the force field always has a hole in it. You fell right through it and we came and got you before the Capitol did." Suddenly, there was a loud crash and yelling from a room nearby. I looked at Haymitch questioningly

"What was that?" I asked suspiciously.

"You'll never guess who," Haymitch teased

"Who?" I pestered, starting to get annoyed.

"Cato"

AN: Love it? Hate it? Review please!
