Telling My Life

Suzanne collins owns all of this. Thanks to all for favoriting and reading this.

"That's right, you all know her as the Girl on Fire," Caesar hollers to the crowd, "yet we know her as the lovely Katniss Everdeen!" I walk onto the stage. The screams are louder as I'm seen in Cinna's creation. I sit in the white plush chair facing Caesar.

"So, Katniss..." He knows that I'm nervous. "What is your favorite thing at the Capitol?"

I stumble, "the Lamb Stew," he smiles in reconition, " the one with dried plums."

"It's delicous!" He grins. the crowd laughs with him. Caesar talks calmly about training, I tell him that the twelve was from things that I can't say.

I continue with the reason why, " I don't want anyone to have an edge." I confess. The crowd gives a mutter of content. Be truthful. Trueful.

I then take my hand to touch the chain and ring around my neck. Caesar notices it,

"What is that Katniss?"

"My ring," I say, "It's my engagement ring."

"So you have a special boy at home? And you're so young!"

"It happened on the Reaping Day," I say.

"Oh. That's a shame."

I continue, "He wasn't going to get Reaped. He thought that I would be safe." A collective gasp is heard from the crowd.

"Haymitch?"

I scowl, then smile, " Peeta Mellark is my fiance, it would never be Haymitch."

"oh Katniss, My sympathy to you both."

I have an idea. "Caesar?" I venture, "Can I show you my flames"

Cinna is twriling his finger like the mad man that he sometimes is.

"Is it safe?" The crowd screams, approves. I stand, walk a bit away from the chair and spin around. The flames flicker.

The uproar is deafening. Caesar reigns the crowd in as he asks me one more question.

"Your sister, Prim came to you,yes?" I nod

"She told me to win."

" And try you will!" Caesar kisses my hand as the buzzer goes off.

Gale is next. This game just begun.
