Before I wrote the ending of the last chapter, I didn't know if I was going to have them wizards or not. But the answer is no, they are not wizards in this story.

Chapter 4

Last Time:

Justin lets his tears fall and cries into Alex's shoulder, as Ramona and Max join the hug.

Snow ends the video and sighs.

Maybe I shouldn't have destroyed their family. If I didn't send one of my Gamemakers to kill Theresa and Jerry then their family would still be intact... Snow thinks, but then smirks inwardly.

What's done is done. I have the four children now who don't know that they are destined for greatness. All I have to do is to keep acting like the good guy and keep Justin, Alex, Max and Ramona trusting me and everything will be perfect.

Snow puts a sad look on his face and joins the hug.

Now:

Alex lies on her bed the next morning just thinking. Yesterday they went shopping and got clothes. Alex sighs knowing Snow and Justin gets along perfectly. Max likes Snow a lot and Ramona is... kinda ok for liking. Alex pretends to like Snow, but knows in her mind and heart that he is up to something.

"How did he know we needed his help when mom and dad were murdered less than a week ago?" Alex whispers to herself as she closes her door and begins to get changed.

After Alex is changed, she puts her running shoes on along with a sweater.

"I'm going for a jog." Alex calls to her siblings as she walks down the stairs.

Alex walks into the kitchen and sees Snow sitting at the table writing on a notepad. Alex walks to the cabinet and sees The Hunger Games written at the top of the sheet.

"What's The Hunger Games?" Alex asks pulling out a granola bar out of a box.

Snow looks at Alex and covers the sheet.

"It's none of your business Alex." Snow answers.

"Do people fight for food?" Alex presses, trying to get the answer.

"I said it's none of your business." Snow snaps.

"So are there people starving so they have to fight to stay alive and to get food?"

The next second Alex gets scared and drops her granola bar. Snow gets up and slams Alex into the counter.

"I. Said. It's. None. Of. Your. Business." Snow slams Alex into the counter with every word and speaks darkly.

"LET GO OF MY SISTER!" Ramona shouts walking into the kitchen.

Snow lets go of Alex and turns to Ramona. He grabs Ramona by the arm and just when he is about to slam her into the counter, Alex stops him by kicking him between the legs.

"GO!" Alex pushes Ramona and the two girls run out of the house.

~K&A~

Over in the forest, Katniss is sitting on a log just thinking to herself. In three days is the reaping and it's Prim's first year.

Suddenly she hears panting and running feet.

"Come on Ramona, we have to go a little further." Katniss hears a girl's voice.

She watches the way she heard their voices and not even a second later they break into the clearing.

Katniss stares at them and notices it's the same two girls who distracted Snow from finding her and Gale. She sees them freeze and hug each other close, both scared out of their minds.

The youngest, Ramona, whimpers and hides herself from view in Alex's arms.

Katniss and Alex stares at each other before Alex breaks eye contact.

"You're the one that we saw in the woods the day we first arrived, aren't you?" Alex asks so softly Katniss could barely hear.

"Yes. I'm Katniss Everdeen." Katniss puts down her bow and arrows, and holds her hand out to shake.

"Alex Russo." Alex shakes Katniss's hand, "This is my little sister Ramona."

"It's nice to meet you both. And thank you for distracting President Snow from catching me and my best friend that first day."

"No problem." Alex whispers.

"So why are you two in here? Mostly since you both don't have weapons to protect yourselves from the wild animals."

"Uhm..." Alex bites her bottom lip not knowing if she should lie or tell the truth.

"Snow is scary." Ramona's voice trembles as she spoke, "He hurt Ally, and hurt me a bit too but Ally stopped him. We had to get away."

Katniss's eyes widen in surprise.

"What did he do? I know he starves the districts, but what did he do to you guys?"

"He slammed Ally into the counter when she was getting some food. He hurt her. He was going to do the same to me but Ally kicked him between the legs, and we ran out and out here." Ramona looks up at Katniss with tears falling down her cheeks.

Katniss stares at Ramona and Alex to see that they have bruises on their arms. Katniss takes off her jacket and wraps it around their shoulders.

"Would you both like to stay at my house to recover then I can take you both home before the reaping?" Katniss offers before she could even think it through.

"Please." Ramona nods in agreement without even talking it over with Alex. Alex listens to the conversation silently. She is the one with trust issues and always turns everything down and likes to do things by herself. The only reason she agreed to come here with Snow and her family is because they all agreed without even thinking why and how Snow knew about their parents and where to find them.

"Let's go." Katniss picks up her bow and arrows and leads them to District 12 and hides her weapons in two different trees on the way.

~A&K~

Katniss slips under the fence before Alex and Ramona follows. It is pitch black out and beginning to rain. They cut through District 12 to the poor part of the district. As Katniss calls it 'Seam'.

Katniss opens the door to a rundown shack and Ramona and Alex steps in. There right in front of them is a kitchen. On the left is a small living room, and a set of stairs on the right.

"Mom, Prim, these are Ramona and Alex Russo. They are from District 13." Katniss introduces. Katniss told her mother and Primrose Everdeen about District 13 and Snow. She tells them about what happened and why Ramona and Alex are there, and to the two girls' surprise, they welcome them with open arms.
