I sigh as I stand under the shower. The water running down my body, I hate the annual Hunger Games. I just watch the tributes suffer over and over and over again. I don't get the point. I won last year, all I had to do was make it to the final eight. I had grabbed a bow and arrow from the cornucopia. Then shot everyone, from a tree. Now I'm a mentor. District 2 nominated me a mentor after I won, saying;

"You will be the next mentor to teach our tributes how to survive." I felt like disagreeing. People don't know how many deaths, sorrow and grief a victor has felt. I hated District 2 for making me this year's mentor. Anyways, it's not like I have a choice. I walk out the door and meet the cool morning breeze hit my face.

"Anariel!" I turn toward the noise. I see a little girl, her eyes are piercing blue. Just like Lawrence's, who won the 79th Hunger Games.

"Yes, Celine? Shouldn't you be with or your mother?" I ask Celine. She was known for running off, and her older brother had died in the Hunger Games four years ago. Celine put her hands on her hips and scowled at me.

"You don't tell me what to do. My brother's best friend says your trouble, I wanted to see you in person. I now know he was right." she runs off leaving me alone a little bit annoyed.

I kept walking until I was out of Victor's village. I decided to head toward the place I used to hang out with Ericka before she was sent to the Hunger Games. The rock on the side of the river. I sat there lost in my thoughts so that I didn't hear the voice.

"Excuse me? Aren't you going to go to the reaping?" I look up breaking my thoughts to look at a boy with brown hair that gets lighter at the end. I grumble as I head out to the town square. I arrive just as the mayor starts to talk. I zone out for ¾ of it. When the reapings start, I listen to one of the names then end up zoning out.

On the train ride a few hours later…

"So Anariel and I expect you to WIN THE 120th HUNGER GAMES!" Felix yells across the table at the tributes during dinner. I say nothing and scrape at my food. The tributes, Felicite and Barq. I hate them already, they don't care about strategy, only killing. I have to try though. If I abuse my tributes then… let's just say you don't want to know what happens…

"ANARIEL TELL THEM ABOUT STRATEGY!" Felix screams at me. I roll my eyes and lean over the table grabbing my knife and getting up in there faces.

"Killing isn't everything, have a strategy in the arena don't improve. At least make it to top eight. Remember if you have a strategy you will do better in the arena." I growl at them, they both flinch. Mainly because my knife was starting to drip onto their plates. I sit back down, thrust my knife into the piece of meatloaf sitting in my plate. I get up to walk to my sleeping chambers thinking of tomorrow and how I have to watch our tributes train.

2:30 in the morning…

"AHHHHH" I hear a scream come from one of the rooms in the District 2 row. I bolt upward, and grab my boots shoving them on as I run outside towards the room the scream came from.

Felix, his hair a mess comes rushing out too. I slam the door open, and one of my tributes are dead. Immediately I see Barq asleep in his bed his eyes filled with fear as his district partner is dead. Felicite with her bright blonde hair and he dazzling bright blue eyes. It was a shame she had to die. I felt my stomach about to explode, I couldn't feel it anymore.

"I need to go to my room." I say. The flashbacks from the Hunger Games. No. I had shut out the flashbacks but they resurfaced the minute I saw her dead body.

I hear Felix scream at Barq as I run back to my room. I flop onto my bed as my head swarms with images.

"Please stop! Don't kill me!" The voice said. I hesitated before I rose my knife. Their family probably would mourn and watch me kill their kid on television. Her curly hair, she was too young. I was about to set my knife down, when I heard soft footsteps coming behind me. I turned suddenly the knife flinging out of my hand straight into the girl's district partners head. I watch the blood pour out, and his facial expression of shock and pain.

I turn towards the girl. Her face is pale, like she just saw a family member die. They were planning to ambush me and kill me.

Well nice try. I check him for any supplies, and find some food and water along with two swords. I take one, turning towards the little girl.

She sees.

I walk to her and she knows she's doomed, I plunge my knife in and turn away. I run taking materials from the District 5 male. I hear her scream, and then I hear two cannons.

When I was far enough away, I barfed realizing I was a killer.

And I wasn't proud of it; I was ashamed.

My eyes jolt awake. I realize that I am panting, my whole body starts to shake. I grip my family crest necklace. My Mother had passed not long after I was sent to the games, my Father remarried and lives happily with his family. While I live alone in Victors Village. All Alone. I sometimes wondered if I was ever going to find a companion, my father seems to find women very fast. He's pretty attractive, but he's not a good man.

A few hours later…

I wake up and a servant is standing there, I usher them out only to have them waiting for me outside. I change into some random clothes I found in the closet such as clothes that were too fancy for my taste. As I shove on some clothes that look the most athletic. After I changed I went out to meet my one tribute and see our alternate for the girl.

It was Celine. She was going to the arena, and she was doomed.
