A month before the Reaping of the 121th Hunger Games

District Eight

Kory was being annoyed.

"Leave me alone, dad". Sure, he was a man just starting his twenties, but people still bothered him. It wasn´t like he was a happy-go lucky guy who did everything with a smile.

Especially after spending a lot of years on an orphanage.

"Come on Kory, let me in. We need to talk if you will do what you-

"I SAID, LEAVE ME ALONE!" And his new adoptive father did. He knew that being an adoptive father was hard, especially a lone parent, but he was really, really annoying. He just couldn´t comprehend he wanted to spend some time alone and that he wasn´t the same little kid anymore. He was a victor, and Willis was living in his house now, not in his, so he better buckle up and stops whining so much.

He looked to what he had in his hands. The papers who had once told him the truth of his origins. That he wasn´t Willis´ son and her wife hadn´t left him with a baby to take care of before she died. No matter what happened, he knew the truth now.

And he had to do something about it.

He reread the papers over and over again, with only one purpose.

Finding the determination to what he needed to do. Finding the will, the guts, the willpower, whatever he needed to make what he wanted come true.

What he truly needed.

He ran out of the room and as he heard Willis´ cries, begging him to stay and talk to him.

But Kory didn´t want to listen. He was in his own world, a world that tried to suffocate him.

Just as the District Four Female had tried to do in his games, the lake that was his arena not helping him much to win those damn games. He still remembered those days, but he couldn´t let those emotions and memories come to him again. He needed to come forward and do what he needed to do.

He ran to the office, people in the entire district looking at him weirdly as he ran, as he escaped his previous life with only one purpose.

The truth.

He arrived at the office and went directly to reception, pushing all the people there saying "Excuse me, I am sorry, forgive me, sorry, please" and much more pleas to let be in front of them.

When he arrived at the front, the woman at the reception gave at a big glare.

"What the hell do you want, Mr. Kory Canters?"

And he only needed to say just a few words and the desire came true.

"I want to know who my real family is"
