Masked Royalty- Chapter One
A/N: This chapter is dedicated to kstewtwihard0904 for being the first to write a review.
For Katniss Everdeen life was nothing but a blur. For the past years she and Haymitch Abernathy had been traveling all around the world. For a girl of sixteen, Katniss knew a lot more things than she is suppose to know. By now she knows what had happened that devastating night, the night that she lost her kingdom, her rightful throne and her family.
After that night they had been on the run, hiding from however was so cruel to have killed the king and queen. Both Haymitch and Katniss know that they were planning to kill Katniss too. They knew that if they weren't wise enough, they both could lose they're lives.
And now ten years later they have been doing exactly that, save their lives. So far only once had they been foolish and have came face to face with the killers. They managed to escape, thankfully.
Katniss had to train after that incident, Haymitch made sure that if ever the events of such as that would happen again, they would be more prepared.
Katniss was a fighter; she knew that her life of wonderful service, lace and velvet dresses; big meals and extravagant parties were over. She understood that her life now was one of running, so far they had moved to nine different places and she had attended eleven different schools. Even though she had spent two years homeschooled when they were in the start of their escape, she had a quite large number of schools since she usually had to move in the middle of the school year, to a new school at least.
Now Katniss was a great athlete, with Haymitch's strict training she could swim, run, do track and field, use a sword, throw knives, tie snares, survive in the wilderness and her most favorite: shoot arrows.
Katniss could hold her breath for a good seven minutes. She could run a marathon and not run out of breath. She could climb trees with such grace you would wonder whether she was human. She has the aim better than any professional out there and she could do hand to hand combat. No one would have imagined her as a little spoiled princess. And of course no one knew, they knew Katniss Everdeen their long lost princess, the rightful heir to the thrown which was now occupied by Coriolanus Snow, a corrupted man to say the least, but to them that girl was missing probably dead. That is because they don't see Katniss even when she's right in front of them, that is because instead of seeing their lost princess they see the blacksmiths daughter, they see Katy Rowan.

This is their tenth location so far, Haymitch and Katniss have found themselves in District Twelve.
"District Twelve, production: Coal, town is divided into the Merchants, which usually have blonde hair and blue eyes and people from the Seam who have brown hair and grey eyes," Haymitch explained to Katniss basic facts about their new home, "We will stay in the merchants area even if you have the looks of one from the seam, this is since we will stick to the cover of being blacksmiths."
Katniss nods in understanding, "Will I be going to school?"
"Yes, and you will still be addressed as Katy Rowan and I'm Hugh Rowan your father. We used to live in District Two but moved here to get a better living since the price range here is low, understand?"
"Yes sir," Katniss says in a joking tone.
Haymitch let out a chuckle, "Now Katniss, we have done this hundreds of times. I'm sure you know the drill."
"Trust me I do," Katniss whispers to herself as Haymitch parked the car in front of a nice looking two story house.
"Katy, welcome to District Twelve, home," Hugh announced.
