Note from the Author: I have written down some of the members that I have been able to think of. If any watcher or really anyone that wants to have a character participates in this story of the Hunger games (it will be the ninety second Hunger Game of an alternate timeline of when Katniss and the others fail to defeat the President and the other members of the Capitol). You can send me in the name, age, and any important description on how they look like and their specialties in the Hunger Games. I will update this repeatedly when I get a number of posts. This will give you a general idea of who has been taken already. Probably by the next few chapters, maybe three or four, I hope to have all the names up. If you're wondering where I got all these character's name's from I used an online Hunger Games Name Generator. If anyone does have a character put up in here, I will give them the rightful credit that you deserve.

Also the Hunger games do not belong to me; they belong to their author Susan Collins.

Chapter 1: Running away part 2

"Why not? You're aware of what the capitol brings to us: nothing but fear that we would be dead by the next Hunger Game when it comes." Blaze said still trying to figure out why I didn't want to run away.

"Because we wouldn't have even made it five hours up those mountains and we'd be caught by those hover crafts in a matter of minutes after that. It's not worth anything. We need to help mom's friends too. They're starving while we have everything. That's the reason why I want to stay behind." I explain as I see Blaze's face. Not wanting to admit defeat, but he was ready to bring out some anger if he had too.

"You always were mom's little girl and still have been. You wouldn't last five minutes being a capitol servant." He said. At this point, he picked up a rock from the ground and hurled it in my direction. The rock was a small one, one that would probably leave a bruise on my forehead or side later on. But the force that he threw it at made me want to duck and I did just that. I felt my body fall, letting me fall to the earth in order to maneuver away from the rock. It clattered to the side behind me as I dared not to even look at it. This time, I realized that the rock had only been a mere distraction, as with the other arm, Blaze aimed a punch at my side and smacked my shoulder. But before he could throw another one, a voice called out, saving me once more.

It was Gabe's voice, Gabe Hawthorn. "Why don't you pick on someone your own side? Before I alert the peace keepers?" He asked. Gabe was a handsome man, a bit older than me, and Blaze, roughly a year or two maybe. And it was going to be one of the last few times that he would have to participate in the Hunger Games. However, he had put in his name far more times than my brother and I, at least forty times.

"I thought protecting her was my job." Blaze said as he still had his arms up, lined at his chest.

"Well it looks like you broke it." Gabe said. "Go on, go cool your jets and meet us back here. You look like you could use it." He added. And without another world, Blaze dismissed it, knowing that Gabe's parents hat close links to his own. Word would soon reach them at one point or another that he had been fighting with me. And I was ever so relieved to see Gabe, not that I couldn't defend myself. I just didn't want to have to face Blaze's rage when he was not with his father and out practicing. "You look like you need some help standing back up, Scarlet." He said offering me a hand. I took my other hand from the ground, and offered it to him. I felt his strength as he pulled his hand back in order to help pull me up. And it seemed almost effortlessly that he had done it.

"I heard most of what happened, you don't have to tell me." Gabe said as I was on my two legs once more. I looked back at him and nodded, I wasn't exactly in the mood to explain everything, if Gabe had seen it then it was good it would only stick between each other, and we wouldn't mention it to anyone else. Unless that is Blaze decided to tell someone, most likely it would have been my father that he told. "Also I heard that you were going to check the traps, I found two that had been sprung by a squirrel and hid them so we can trade at the Hob when we're done today. They'll get us something half way decent." Gabe said as we decided to start walking. It wasn't like anyone had told us too. We just did it. I was eager to see what they had looked like and start hunting for more. If anything, I'd hope to see something like a bird and shoot them down a few times. But as we walked a thought came to mind, not about hunting, but something else. Gabe's family had been living like this for years, and being as poor as they were luck was never on their side.

Their father Gale Hawthorn worked in the mines, six days a week and could only come out at the seventh. When he wasn't working he was helping his family trying to survive, and then on the seventh day came he would come out and visit my mother and father the two had been close since we were kids. And that is where I got to know Gabe, his oldest son. But anyways, the family had to put in their names for the Hunger games, in my guess a total of forty two times, and today would be forty three. Luck once more was not in Gabe's favor. However, it wasn't exactly in mine either, since it was going to be my last Hunger Game that I would be forced to watch, I would have placed my name in the glass globe at least seventeen times. And the same with my brother, his name was in there seventeen times. I couldn't think of it, my name Scarlet Hope Mellark on a tiny envelope like slip of paper in that glass globe.

"Is everything alright?" I heard Gabe asked as he noticed that I seem to be in deep thought, it was nothing really but I didn't want him to know that I was thinking this. After all, I'm sure he knew how many times that his name was in that basket, I didn't have to remind him about it.

"It's fine really, I was just thinking about the games." I manage to say as he nodded. The Games weren't exactly well talked about in this area, but when you get closer to the Capitol, the games are everything.

As we get closer to the traps I remember where I had placed my arrows, the very ones that my mom had made for me. In a fallen log that had been rotting away on the inside while the tree bark was exposed. To anyone, it would have looked like a regular log. No one would have suspected that someone had placed something in it, let alone walked all this way to try and find it. My bow is also nearby as well in another tree hump that is deep as well and I manage to take it out. While I am taking these things out, Gabe has already found the dead squirrels that he had mentioned to me earlier. They were indeed a decent size, Gabe was right after all as their pelts and meat would be sold excellently in the Hob, we would go there next after hunting.

"Scarlet, look over there. I see something." I hear Gabe saying in a hushed voice. It is also a careful one, but a daring one too. I look and squint my eyes to see what he is looking at. The forest is dense with all kinds of things that could hide something. Then I get closer to him to try and see where his hand is pointing. But still I see nothing. However, my patience is rewarded as something moves its head from behind a few trees that are clumped together. I recognize the triangular head of what is a deer. A male deer, his antlers had yet to grow in, but I can tell it's a buck.

"If we catch that they'll give us a lot more than those squirrels, at least four times more." Gabe said, though I can tell there's excitement in his voice, he is trying to control it.

"Yes, but still we must be quiet." I say to him as I string my arrow hoping that the deer didn't even know what would come next. The deer watched us carefully; occasionally it ducked its head underneath some of the branches there in order to eat the clumps of grass that had been growing. Finally when it was no longer looking at us for a split second, I took out my bow and arrow and strung it in between the string that was holding it together. I held my breath, as I waited patiently for the right shot. Gabe was waiting quietly too to make sure he didn't make any noise.

However it wasn't us that had startled the deer, the deer fled out into the bushes as some sort of animal made a noise. I wonder if that had been a sign to run after someone else did. "So close." I said shaking my head still looking back at Gabe. He nodded too.

"It looks like the hunt continues to a chase." He added and I nodded. With that, we began to head further into the forest, some areas that he and I knew like the back of our hands.

Blaze meanwhile had been else were in the forest, deciding that he wouldn't return with me or anyone else at this point. He needed to find a way to cool off himself from earlier. And the thoughts were still in his mind about running away. He had come incredibly close to the fence. The electricity was down in it so it would have been safe to cross either way. But he only seemed to look at it, deep in thought, wondering whether or not running away would truly be an option. His blue eyes seemed to be focusing on the fence, not caring at all if the peace keepers saw him. The thought of escaping District 12, the worst of all the districts was coming together slowly. He could run to the capitol, slowly making it through the other ones. It wasn't that hard, he would have to escape through each of the other districts there.

But what if someone recognized him on the way? It was certainly possible; Blaze was the son of Katniss and Peeta Mellark of the Seventy third hunger games winners. And other districts were not proud of that title. What if, he wondered those two had killed someone and made a bad name? He would be sucked into that whole as well. So for now he decided it was best to go low key. Only talking to a few that his family trusted and knew. He knew only a few from what his family mentioned, but it was enough to start. He knew he couldn't talk to Haymitch, which was out of the option; he would have to go farther than that. If he planned to tell Haymitch what he was doing, he would simply tell his mom and dad, and with that they'd be after him before he even got to District 11.

And so with a plan in mind to head towards the train, he would hide there for some time as it came into the station. He finally gave up staring at the electrified fence and climbed out of it. He was also ignoring the fact that, he might be watched. He quickly sprinted down the musty and dusty streets, seeing the familiar ones that he constantly traveled down each day in order to go home or to go to school. He also spotted his father's famous bakery with some of the frosting on the cakes. Each one of them had different styles to it, but he only stayed for a few minutes if even that, he knew he couldn't stay long here. He had to keep moving.

He ran through areas like the hob and the Seam not even stopping once here as well, all in all it was roughly about thirty to forty minutes he spent through the area and continued on. He could see the dim glow that the trains gave off from in front as they took off at an incredible speed. However Blaze wasn't paying much attention to what would happen next. Something was coming much faster and closer to him, as he looked at the last minute and ran right into something. "Ow watch where you're going!" the voice complained, at this point Blaze and the voice had fallen straight to the ground. Leaving a dust cloud in their place from where they had kicked up all the sand from the road. Blaze's forearms had been covered in the dust, after shaking it from his shirt he looked up to see who he had run into. Half dazed and stunned he couldn't seem to find the words to speak about what had happened. But he knew this girl, it was one of the Hawthorn siblings. Gabe was the oldest, and this one was the next. Prim named after Gale's friend's sister was about fifteen years old. She had deep black hair and blue eyes. It seemed to be a trait ran in the family.

"Didn't you hear me? I said watch where-wait a minute. You're blaze aren't you? Blaze Mellark? You seemed to be in a hurry back there." Prim asked as she watched Blaze get up and shook off more of the dust and dirt that had been on his body. But he came over to her side and offered a hand to pick her up.

"It's nothing don't worry about it." He said dully.

"Something is up, at first I thought you were being chased by the peace keepers but it's clear you're not being chased by them. Instead it looked like you were running too something." Prim said as she took Blaze's arm in order to help herself up. "Just please tell me, I promise I'll keep a secret!" She said not even in a hushed voice at all.

After Prim was up Blaze had noticed that she had dropped several items of her own on the ground such as a basket with food and a purse that she had been carrying around. The food hadn't been at all damaged at this point since it had been wrapped up in cloth so no dust could get to it. It looked like she had been out buying things for the family. He found some bread, cheese and what looked like jarred berries. Not much to feed the family but it would certainly get them by along with what his family had been helping them with on the meat side.

"I doubt you will be able to keep a secret. You're so talkative for a teenage girl." Blaze said as he picked up the basket and put them in for her to carry back.

"I know secrets in fact all kinds. I'm good with them, I promise." She said with almost pleading eyes at this point Blaze could only roll his eyes at the young girl. She was so naïve. He knew as soon as he told her that she would want to come with her to the Capitol. "In fact I'll tell you a secret too if you tell me. Does that sound fair?" She asked. At this point he wondered if she knew any decent secrets at all.

"Fine keep this a big secret, not even Gabe should know about this." He said as he came over to Prim's ear and whispered a sentence or two. "I'm running away, to the capitol. I'm sick of living here. There is so much more that can be offered if we do run away." Prim seemed interested at that thought, she like the others had not once stepped foot out of the District. And the thought of running away was once again unavoidable to her. Instead of running to the Capitol like Blaze had thought of, she wanted to run away to see the sites. District 12 was getting boring for her, and she didn't want to end up in the coal mines like her father had been doing for so long. Once Blaze pulled away from Prim she nodded at the thought.

"Here's my secret. It's about Scarlett and Gabe; I've heard Gabe talk about Scarlett in his dreams sometimes. You see sometimes, he sleeps and mutters things; most of them are unrecognizable gibberish. But this I heard loud and clear." Prim said as Blaze was not at all surprised by this, but he was willing to listen to what she had to say about it. In a ways it could have been interesting.

"Well what did he say?" He asked her.

"He was saying things like 'Oh Scarlett! If only we could be together! The world would be ours!. Oh Scarlett!" She said almost trying to copy his manlier voice than she could. In fact she was trying a bit too hard, it was more of a feminine voice than what Gabe's sounded like. "What do you think of that?" She asked returning to her regular tone.

Blaze shrugged a bit at the thought, it was obvious Scarlett and Gabe had liked each other since they were infants since it wasn't that all surprising that he'd dream about her. "That sounds normal for someone like him. I'm not that surprised at it." Blaze said.

"Really? I can't help but giggle all the time I hear him speak." Prim asked as she held onto her basket. Suddenly it seemed to be quiet again as the two looked at each other for a bit. "Say Blaze, since you're running away. Can I come with you?" She asked as he wasn't exactly sure on what to say on this point. Prim was young, and perhaps the Capitol wasn't exactly her thing yet. It made him dive once again into his thoughts as he tried to think of something to say.

"Fine I'll let you come with me, since we're almost to the train station. But you have to promise not to give away who we are. We'll have to think of aliases when we get on board. To hide our real names." Blaze said as Prim nodded.
