Mags Flannagan, 80, District 4 Female Victor

I almost can't believe my ears at what Snow just said. Sending previous victors that have already gone through the nightmare once is one of the cruelest twists they could have ever thought of.

I remember my time back in the 11th Hunger games and safe to say it wasn't a pleasant experience. Back then there was only one District that established themselves as Careers and it was District 2.

Unfortunately, as the years have passed District 4 has now gotten in on the career action, but I already know I won't be allying with any of them not that they would want an old lady like me anyways.

Don't get me wrong, most of the career victors I've interacted with seem decent and honorable. In fact I would probably even say I'm on good terms with Gloss and Cashmere, the brother and sister victors.

But there is one career victor I can't stand and that's Brutus. During his games I was mentoring the female from our district and at the time 4 had started to get in on the career action. She joined them but was also the first career to die.

During the bloodbath Brutus ran up and effortlessly picked her up with one hand. He then grabbed her throat and wrenched it to the side until there was a brutal snap killing her instantly. I remember her final moments trying to reason with this monster but he ignored her and killed her anyway.

I will never forgive him especially since he showed no remorse for her death after his victory. In fact on his victory tour when he came here he even went so far as to spit on the podium.

I start thinking of the other victors here, particularly Annie and Finnick. I consider them like my children and I really hope neither of them gets reaped.

I figure it's time to start heading to the district square and after getting my finger pricked I stand in line with the other female victors. Finally the escort comes on stage.

After showing us the video of the dark days he then selects a name from the female bowl. "Annie Odair." He reads aloud. Immediately there's commotion as Annie suddenly bursts into heart wrenching sobs. Finnick suddenly breaks formation and charges at the peacekeepers who are trying to drag her to the stage.

"KEEP YOUR DAMN HANDS OFF OF MY WIFE!" He roars as he tackles the nearest peacekeeper. Three more quickly run and restrain him. He tries his hardest but despite all his rage he is unable to overpower three fully equipped peacekeepers.

Annie at this point is starting to hyperventilate and I know if she goes in she'll be dead within seconds. Even though I'm not much better, I know what I have to do.

I suddenly step forward and tap the escort on the shoulder. I can't really speak anymore so I rely on my body movements. Once he sees what I'm trying to tell him though he suddenly breaks out in a grin.

"It looks like we have a volunteer!" He announces happily. "District 4 your female tribute for the 75th annual Hunger games. Mags Flannagan."

Finnick Odair, 24, District 4 Male Victor

"SON OF A BITCH!" I roar as I throw a bottle at the screen. I had no idea it was possible to hate someone so much until I met Snow.

Seriously with each passing second I just want to punch him more and more. I really didn't mind him before I became a victor but after winning my respective games that's where horrible stuff happened.

He forced me to go to the capital every so often and give sexual pleasure to the female capital citizens and even some male capital citizens. He threatened to hurt my family if I didn't comply. Shortly after that he sent the love of my life into the arena which luckily she won, unfortunately though she now suffers from horrible PTSD and me and Mags are really the only two victors who can calm her down.

We got married the year after she won and for the most part we're both happy although she still suffers a bit. I really hope she doesn't get reaped. I suddenly look over at Annie who is watching with me and see she's gone as white as a ghost.

I know what this means, it usually means she's about to suffer a mental breakdown. Just before that can happen though I suddenly run over and give her a long passionate kiss which seems to break her out of her trance.

"Annie, are you okay?" I finally ask. She just looks over at me and nods. "I'm just really scared Finnick. What if both of us get reaped? I especially don't want to deal with that hulking guy from 2." She says with visible tears in her eyes.

I know exactly who she's talking about: Brutus Gene, a victor who is more animal than man. Out of the career districts he's considered the most feared career of all time. The guy killed 12 tributes in his games including both of our tributes.

I don't fear many things but Brutus is one guy I do fear. I've interacted with him a few times and none were pleasant. He apparently found it amusing that Annie was suffering mentally and mocked her.

I tried my best to tolerate it but once he suggested he show her what in his words a "Real Man" Looks like I lost my temper and attacked him. Unfortunately he was quite a bit stronger and he beat me in less than two minutes. At the hospital it was revealed he gave me a mild concussion and three fractured ribs.

So yeah I hate the guy. "Don't worry Annie, it will be fine." I try to cheer her up as she sniffles and nods.

After we both get to the district square the escort starts going over the dark days. Finally it's time for the tributes to be drawn and like always it's females first.

"Annie Odair!" He reads aloud as my eyes widen. No it can't be! I I suddenly run towards her just as the peacekeepers are about to drag her on stage. I tackle one of them but the other three grab me and restrain me.

I try to fight back but I'm completely powerless. However just then Mags steps up and after a brief exchange she volunteers.

My eyes widened but the peacekeepers finally let me go. The escort then draws a name for the males. "Finnick Odair!" He shouts. I grunt but walk on stage at least it wasn't Annie but still going in with Mags won't be much better since she's basically my mother.

"District 4 I give you your tributes for the 75th annual Hunger Games."

Hi everyone I know it's been over a month since this story got updated but I hope you still enjoyed it regardless. This is also the longest chapter I have made so far and I think I did pretty decent. Also I recently made a new SYOT called the Criminal Games that's on my profile so I would love it if you checked that out and submitted a few tributes. Anyways as always if you enjoyed please read and review.
