Chapter 1

It was 17 years later in District 12; Katniss Grace Snow was raised to be Katniss Everdeen. She had flourished into a rose in full bloom throughout the seasons. She also had a supposed younger sister, Primrose, who was 14 and knew nothing about the fact that she was kidnapped. The only people to know about Katniss's real identity were her supposed mother and her father who had unfortunately deceased in a mining accident 7 years prior to this story. Her supposed grandparents died before the kidnapping took place.

Eliza Everdeen was too afraid to tell Katniss that she wasn't her true mother so instead; she locked her away in a small cottage in secluded area in the forest. Her mother taught her to write and how read. She was a fast learner. Katniss wanted to see the world though as a younger child; to leave her sanctuary/ prison cell and explore places beyond the woods. Her mother had told her there was nothing beyond the forest, but when Katniss's pleas to leave became more persistent, Eliza had only one option. That was to get her someone from the town to tell her about District 12. Within the fortnight, Katniss had found a new best friend in Annie Cresta, who told her that there wasn't much to District 12 but in other districts, maybe. Life passed slowly for Katniss, Prim and Annie, but both Prim and Annie knew there was something about Katniss that was familiar.

Meanwhile, Marvel Hinderson, the only son of Lord and Lady Hinderson was trained in District 2 for most of his life. He was respected in Districts 1 and 2 due to his closeness to the President and the Capitol. District 2, due its Peacekeeper training facilities was perfect for Marvel for when he went on his search for Katniss as he had vowed to when he was just 6 years old. He had always put his family and its welfare first. When he was told of his arrangement he declared that he were trained in the finest facilities Panem had to offer. So naturally, he had attended the academy in District 2. He made a quick friend with Finnick Odair who was the mayor of District 4's son. Although he was a quiet guy in training, he could be the loudest of loud mouths in his dorm. He was very talented with a trident and net, being from district 4 ad its advantages. The Capitol also named him the districts most handsome boy a few years back. But no one dared to compare him better than Cato Smith, the strongest man at the academy since its opening day. He was very talented at many weapons and hand to hand combat. His speciality was with swords, throwing knives, basically anything with a blade on it. He was well built with ashy blonde hair, royal blue eyes and stood well over 6 foot 5 high. Once Cato learnt of Marvel's quest, he asked to be in an alliance with him and naturally, Marvel needed as much help as he could get but he also didn't want to overdo it.

So he accepted Cato and requested that Finnick came with them as well. When assured it was for the best out of the two of them because Finnick would keep them entertained, Cato agreed as well that is was for the best if Finnick came with them. Their group was finalised, exams passed with flying colours and they were wished well on their way to find Katniss Grace Snow.

Now district 12 wasn't entirely rebellious. The baker's Son Peeta Mellark was familiar with the disappearance of Katniss Grace Snow 17 years back as the recognition and symbol for her return was shown every year, a MockingJay in flight clutching an arrow in its feet. He had seen digitally altered images as to what she might look like today, but no one saw anyone who looked like that. Plus it was compulsory that Katniss's Disappearance was spoken about every week at school assemblies and a candle was lit in her honour and in the hope that she would return and lead Panem in a light like her father and mother before her. There were only two possible people that could he could ask about the missing girl: His father and Ms Eliza Everdeen. The only problem was that Ms Everdeen was only seen at Twilight doing minimal tasks here and there. She had a daughter, Primrose, but she refused to believe her family was involved. And his father said that it was very unlikely that the President's daughter would be hidden in district 12. As Peeta walked through the town square, he saw a headline that caught his immediate attention.

MARVEL HINDERSON OF DISTRICT 1 TO SEARCH FOR OUR HEIR!

Keen to read on, Peeta picked up, and bought the newspaper.

Marvel Hinderson, son of Lord and Lady Hinderson, has departed from District 2's training facility to start a supposed quest for our long lost heir, Katniss Grace Snow. He will commence his search in District 2 and search every district until he finds the 'girl of his dreams'. He also rumored to have permission from our beloved president Snow to go to abandoned District 13 to look for her. Will he succeed in his quest? It is a well known fact here in district 2 that he also has 2 allies, Cato Smith, the best trainee the academy has had in a long time, and Finnick Odair who was voted the most handsome man in Panem 4 times in a row and still is considered to be so today.

It struck him there and then. He needed allies, and fast...
