Katniss P.O.V.
I wake up, excitement and determination in my veins. Today is the day, I won't give up, they will choose me out of that jar.
Let me explain something to you, I am an Angel of Darkness. My life has been spent outside, breaking the rules the capital had put out for us. Hunting, with my best friend Gale Hawthorn. Some say that he is my, what you call boyfriend but in reality he's just somebody that I know. You may all be wondering by now what about you're parents Katniss? Well let me tell you something I live with my dad here in district 12, yes yes What about your mother? My mother like I would actually classify her as my mother she's an angel of Light in other words 'goodness'. I don't know what happened to make my father fall in love with-with that thing. She had me, then had my little sister Primrose Everdeen. Of course my father being the King of the Dark Side I turned out to be the Princess of the Darkness, I was born with my fathers features, and when my mother had Primrose she couldn't be happier that she had somebody that looked like her side of the family.
You must be wondering why I'm living with my father if they had both of us to take care of. Well let me tell you something, when they had both of us they decided that they wanted to see if we had inherited their powers. My dad being the King of the Dark side was hoping that I would turn out to be his successor to the throne. We took the Wing test and when my wings came way before Primrose could show hers, they saw I had the black wings, majestic in their glory with my black halo illuminating the testing grounds. My father was proud but my mother… my mother she was furious. She hadn't known that my father was from the dark side and when she found out she despised us both, she allowed us to stay but only until Primrose's results came. She wasn't the age or 12 like me to get tested the way I did so they did it differently…blood test. Weird right?
Guess what. She was a Light angel, but my father didn't care, he didn't care what she was because he had me, I was his successor, with his powers and his looks, his traits even his singing. But her, he didn't care, he had me and my mother didn't care about me so when the results came and my dad saw he said to her "Keep that brat; I only care about MY daughter, Katniss Ruby Everdeen, the jewel in my heart and to the throne." He took me away, not far, another house still in the seam but my mother moved to the merchant side. The only difference was Primrose being an Angel of light was still not a princess like I was, don't get me wrong I'm not spoiled, but my mother despised that she was not born royalty, yes Primrose has the same father as I do but she is not an angel of Darkness like me, and my mother is NOT a Queen nor is she royalty of the Light side, on the contrary she is actually a servant of the Light side as well my 'sister'.
It's not like I really care, I don't like them either of them, besides today is the day…the day I prove my self to the Dark Side, complete the task and I get my crown to rule the dark side. Let me explain what the dark side really is…
The dark side, it's my home, most are the same, that is they are from the dark side yet nobody knows, we have kept hidden. We support the Capital (who by the way is also a part of the dark side) Most districts are from the dark side like D1- D12 but they're spilt where each one contains a small amount of the light angels. Nobody knows we exist, well some do but they don't say anything because maybe just maybe there are spies for the dark side or the light side we don't know, but would there really be spies from the Light SIDE?! A bunch of cowards that can't fight. We hide amongst them acting like we are humans; we don't even know if humans still exist, are they extinct are we the ruling race now? We don't know.
But I won't let this stop me I will make sure they choose me today, they will not stop me from claiming the throne. Yes the capital acts like they are the 'rulers' of Panem but they are only my dad's advisors, they know who I am and that I'm the Princess which is why the peacekeepers don't 'catch' me and Gale when we go into the woods.
"Katniss are you ready, you're supposed to be in the woods waiting for Gale by now!" My dad called.
"Yes dad, I'll be right there, okay I'm leaving now! Bye-a" I yelled as I walked out the house. I ran to the woods with my super speed and sat down at our rock meeting place.
"Morin' Catnip" Gale said as he tried to sneak up on me.
"Hello, Oh my cheese is that fresh bread?!" I have to keep up the act; you know that I live in poverty.
"Yeah I only had to trade two squirrels for it; the baker was being extra nice today."
"Of course the baker…"
"Here I found these berries on the way, ready?" Every year I put in extra Terrence even though we don't need any, just so I can ensure that they'll choose me, but I can't let anyone know I'm doing it on purpose.
"Yeah"
"May the odds" Gale started both of us throwing the berries into the air.
"Be ever in your favor" I said in a Capitol Voice mocking the infamous Effie Trinket,
Walking back to fence we took Gales earning from the snares and walked out, checking the fence, surprise surprise it's off.
Gale walks with me until the turning point.
"See you at the reaping, were something besides your hunting clothes." He says the last part really quietly.
"Yeah, Okay."
At Home
"Katniss, dear please come here."
"Yes dad." I walk towards him
"What is it?"
"I put out a dress for you, I know that you want this year to be the year so I got you a dress for a good impression."
I walk towards my room and find a purple animal print dress, it looks really simple but it won't help me fit in the crowd.
"I know it won't help you fit in the crowd but today it won't matter, if they ask you say "my father surprised me with it, he saved for it and bought it' and they will believe you gullible humans." He just read my mind "under your bed are also pair of heels I bought for you same excuse okay."
I look under and see a pair of Pros and Contrast Heels they were really cute.
"Oh my! Thank you so much dad there so pretty."
"Your welcome princesses now go get ready and change."
"Yes dad. Thank you so much."
I change and head over too front door
"Ill be there in a little while Katniss, good luck!" My father bellows.
"Thanks dad!"
I head over to the square and everyone keeps staring at me. Oh right they know me as the illegal huntress from the seam, such a consolation, if only they knew who I really am they would bow down to me.
I see Prim in servant clothes white blouse and a long black skirt. She looks scared; really I don't know if I'm getting chosen this year by free will. She looks over to me and sees me and stares in jealously and all I do is smile smugly at her while she keeps looking at me and walks away toward the twelve year old section. Meanwhile I head over the sixteen year old section but Gale stops me.
"Wow, Catnip I never thought I would see you in a dress. You look great."
"Thanks Gale my father saved up the money and bought me this dress."
"Well you certainly look really good."
"Yeah, yeah good luck." I said while he heads over to the eighteen year old section.
I head over to the 16 year-old section and look over to Gale and nod my head at him. All at the same time every boy's eyes are on me, because apparently they have never seen me in a dress exposing leg in a strapless dress. Wow, very mature boys.
As I stand there the infamous Effie Trinket walks up the stage and says "Welcome to the district 12 reaping. And may the odds be ever in your favor."
"Now for the district 12 girl tribute." She heads over to bowl which contains all the names of the girls in District twelve, and picks a random paper from the lot and heads over to the microphone.
"And the district 12 tribute is-" This is it my moment to shine.
"Primrose Everdeen."
No! This can not be happening, that ungrateful brat. Every year they pick a weakling, a Light angel, it is not fair, they hate this and we love it! It's not fair! That's why the upper districts volunteer.
She's walking toward the stage and…and crying that ungrateful brat! She isn't taking this away from me! Not me!
I walk toward the stage and start to sprint towards her "I volunteer. I volunteer!"
Suddenly everyone is quiet and everyone gives me an old sigh of respect. Three fingers to their lips then pointed or shown I guess toward me, a sign of good bye. Why?! Oh right they don't know I'm the princess of the darkness, the only people who know are Primrose, Mother, and my dear father.
I look through the crowd and spot my dad he's grinning from ear to ear. I have begun my task. I keep looking and I know there's a small smug smile forming on my lips, but I'm hiding it pretty well. Then I spot him in the crowd, he looks really upset like I have stabbed him in the heart right this instant. I haven't done anything to him, granted they are going to find out who I am. But why is he crying? Over- Over me? Eh it's not like I really care.
Now Effie moves to the boy's reaping bowl and pulls out a paper and says-
A/N So? Please review? With a cherry on top? What do you think will happen next?
