Hey guys! I'm back! Sooo, I know that I haven't touch Heartless in a while, but I started this and I am also making a few One-Shots and AU's for the Warriors series!

I also should mention that I haven't watched Hunger Games in a while, so if anything is off, that's why!

Yeah, and I'll try to make the summary better eventually.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them!

Enjoy!

I remember the fear. The cries of my mother as my younger sister's name rang throughout the clearing in front of the hundred or so people from District Eleven.

"Hannah Greiy," The Mistress spoke crisply and scanned the crowd with a bright smile on her face. How could she do that? How could this woman pretend that it was okay to send my innocent, twelve-year old sibling to die?

I felt Hannah shaking beside me in the crowd and I squeezed her hand. She didn't move. My mother didn't move. I didn't move.

"Hannah Greiy," Mistress spoke louder and snuck a glance towards the nearest peacekeepers. "You are required to step out at once," Her voice sounded more demanding than before, and my sister's breathing began to grow rapidly. Her shortish dirty brown hair framed her red-eyed face. Maybe they wouldn't find her. We just had to stay still. Act neutral.

But when The Mistress cleared her throat and the peacekeepers started to search the crowd, she had a breakdown. It was definitely noticed, and the Capital-trained guards headed our way. I grabbed Hannah's shoulders so she could face me, and I bent down to reach shorter height.

"It's going to be alright, you're going to be fine…" I tried to speak confidently through her tears, but soon two peacekeepers came and dragged her out by her arm. I covered my mouth as she screamed and did my best to ignore my mother's pleas to spare her life.

She'll never make it. She's not experienced enough to fight off danger, let alone live by herself.

I don't what overcame me in that moment. Hannah was dragged halfway down the aisle to the front while bawling her eyes out. But she went silent after a second. So did my mom.

"Stop!" The peacekeepers stopped and the crowd turned to face me as I shouted and stepped out of the big group. Looking into my sister's tearful eyes, I continued.

"I...I volunteer as tribute,"

The Mistress smiled and signaled to the guards to let Hannah go. Faster than lighting, the young girl shooted into my arms and started whispering, "No. No. Please don't go. I need you!", but I silently pushed her away and walked to the front appearing calm and feeling fear.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, we have just experienced something for the first time in District Eleven; a volunteer!" Mistress said excitedly, clapping fast to match her emotion. "May you please tell us all your name, Miss?"

I walked up to the microphone and mumbled my name; purposely making it inaudible to annoy her. However, she did not show the desired reaction and spoke with the same tone of voice as before. "I'm sorry, but could you please repeat that? I don't think the audience couldn't quite hear,"

You make it sound like it was a choice to come here. I thought as I bit my lip. Sighing, I spoke more clearly for the "audience".

"My name is Maddyison Greiy," I showed confidence as I turned to meet The Mistress' cold blue gaze.

"Ahhh, I see," If her smile could get any wider, then it did. She looked out to the crowd, particularly where my sister and mother stood with tears on their eyes, "Sisters…?" She stretched out the 'i' with a slightly higher pitched tone.

"Yes, we are,"

"Mhhhm," She hummed, and clomped over in her high heels to a jar of papers, "Anyways, let us move forwards. It is now time to pick our male tribute." She said cheerfully.

I didn't pay attention to the choosing, but the boy chosen was supposedly eighteen; just a few years older than me. His name was Fynn, but any other details I didn't hear. My thoughts were too distracted, but in the end I knew one thing and one thing only.

I had saved my sister's life, and that was all that mattered. I didn't care that I had sacrificed my own. I only cared that she was safe.

I hope you enjoyed! Until next chapter!
