Disclaimer: I do not own the Hunger Games not matter how much I would like to.

I lay on the floor as they wheeled the TV back into my room. Not much had happened since the Quarter Quell announcement because they knew they couldn't do anything worse to me. They did come in occasionally to beat me; Boreas said it was to remind me of all the bad things that they were going to put my brother through.

Finnick stood on the balcony with the other victors most of whom I was friends with, that came over to our house for parties, Annie stood with Mags on the other gripping her hand tightly. Annie had always hated heights and pretty much anything that wasn't me, Mags or Finnick. Connie strode onto the stage smiling wearing a poufy, yellow dress acting as if something horrible wasn't about to happen. They played that stupid video and the mayor made his speech but I didn't pay attention I was on edge knowing they would put in Finnick and either Annie or Mags.
Connie stuck her manicured fingers in the bowl and made a big show of choosing the name but there was no point because I knew they all said Finnick Odair like how last year they probably all said my name.
'Finnick Odair!' He flashed his winning smile that made all the Capitol women go crazy and walked down to the stage. He blew kisses to the camera but I could see the sadness in his eyes. He looked back at Annie and I saw him cross his fingers, I knew he couldn't take it if both of us died and I knew I couldn't take it if they did either.

'And now for the ladies,' She clawed around and drew out the tiny piece of paper. 'Annie Cresta.' Tears streamed down my face, Annie was so innocent she couldn't do this a second time the last time she went she went crazy. The tears fell faster as she began to scream at the top of her lungs, she put her hands over her ears and sunk to the ground screaming, Mags tried to calm her down but she hit and bit and refused to move. Mags let her go and began to walk towards the stage; she looked older than I remembered.
'It looks like we have a volunteer,' She helped Mags up the steps and her and Finnick held hands facing the crowd, I could hear Annie screaming louder and I couldn't take it anymore, I shoved my fingers in my ears and curled up in a ball and the TV switched itself off.

I thought it was over until I saw a flicker on the screen, the picture came back on and I was looking at an image of District 7. The stage stood in the middle of an alcove surrounded by towering trees, everything was made from wood. A man stood on the stage his arm reaching for a piece of paper,
'Johanna Mason!'
'NO! Please stop this! This isn't fair! PLEASE!'

I sat across from Finnick in a Capitol restaurant, the games had just ended and the boy from 4 had won. Finnick was happy that he was bringing home a winner and that he didn't have to go through the pain of losing another one.
'Oh look, if it isn't Mr. Gorgeous.' She stood across from us dressed in a tight green dress, her short, black hair was slicked back and a smile played across her lips.
'Hey Johanna, have you met my sister?'
'The miny Finnick? No I have not.' She grabbed a chair and pulled up next to us. 'So tell me about yourself, you're not as annoying as your brother are you?' Finnick rolled his eyes and laughed and I just looked at my hands and mumbled avoiding looking in her eyes. 'Hey kiddo, there's no reason to be scared of me, we're in this together me and you're brother. We know what's its like and trust me between the two of us we're going to keep you safe.'
I couldn't help but smile,
'There we go; now we're getting somewhere. What's your name?'
'J...J...Juniper.'
'Nice, but it doesn't suit you. That's the name of a scared little girl but you you're a fighter so from now on I'm going to call you... Jay.' Finnick laughed and ruffled my hair,
'I like it, Jay. It suits you.'
'You think? Because I don't feel like a fighter.' Johanna rolled her eyes and took a hold of my hand,
'Trust me, when it comes down to it you are going to blow them all away. You will always hold strong. No one will ever break you because you have spirit, if I can tell that from talking to you for two minutes it must be true.'

We were inseparable from that moment on, whenever we were both in the Capitol we would go shopping and out to dinner every night. It became the talk of the Capitol, wherever we shopped or ate became the next hotspot. Everyone wanted to be like us. We would talk on the phone almost every night but when I went in the games I was too busy to see her. I didn't want to, I didn't want her to see me weak and I felt like I would cry the second I saw her.

'YOU CAN'T HAVE ALL OF THEM! YOU CAN'T KILL MY BEST FRIEND THEN TRY TO GET RID OF MY BROTHER, OR THREATEN MY SISTER AND MY MOTHER! MY FAMILY IS MINE AND THEN YOU CAN'T JUST TRY TO TAKE AWAY THE REST OF MY FRIENDS! YOU CAN'T TAKE THEM ALL! NOT TOBY OR FINNICK OR ANNIE OR MAGS OR JOHANNA! THEY'RE MINE AND I WILL SAVE THEM!... I will save them.'
'Really because the way I see it is, you're in here and they're all out there and soon they'll be in the games where you'll never get to them and you'll have a front row seat to their deaths.' Boreas leaned against the wall and smirked as I just lay there screaming. 'Maybe, just maybe, this all can stop. Snow can announce that he made a mistake and that the Quarter Quell is something different if you just tell us what you know.'
'I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING!'
'No one escapes little girl, you must have had help. One little girl can't possibly cause so much carnage.'
'You've seen me kill you men with your own eyes. Even when I bound like this I still manage to do it.'
'Trust me little girl it doesn't matter what you do because President Snow is going to make sure your brother suffers the worst hells imaginable. So save your strength you're going to need it.'

Yeah I know it's short but I was running low on inspiration, the next one will be longer because I'm planning to cover the entire time in the Hunger Games from Jay's POV. I got the Hunger Games on DVD the other day, it's so awesome I've watched it like a hundred times.
