A/N- Here we go Chapter 2. Kind of a dull chapter but necessary. I don't own Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Hunger Games, they are owned by their creators Joss Whedon and Suzanne Collins respectively, please don't sue me.
"It must be a hell..." Katniss suddenly woke up, laying on the floor of her house in the victors village. 'Hell dimension is right,' Katniss thought standing up and almost falling over again. She walked over to the little tin where she kept her hits of tracker jacker venom. It was empty. "God dammit!" she screamed to the empty house. Pocketing the tin, she stumbled into her bedroom, tripping over a white liquor bottle and smacking her head on the floor. Shaking it off and standing up again she treaded more carefully over to her dresser where she stuffed some gold coins into her pocket.
Making her way towards the front door, Katniss caught a reflection of herself in the mirror. She decided the girl looking back at her wasn't real, just a side effect of the tracker jacker venom. Katniss Everdeen, winner of the 74th Hunger Games, hero in the great war, couldn't possibly be the gaunt faced, emaciated figure staring back at her. Her normally bright blue eyes were washed out to a dull light blue, her unwashed locks had thinned out and hung limply in her trademark braid. Katniss rolled her eyes at herself and continued towards the door.
Wandering towards the hob, Katniss wondered how many days it had been since she had been outside, how many days since she had eaten anything, or drank anything other than white liquor. Deciding she should probably get some food in her stomach; she headed straight towards Greasy Sae's booth. Sae looked at her with a combination of anger and pity as she handed Katniss a bowl of deer and potato stew. Katniss immediately began shoveling the stew into her mouth -barely tasting it- she only made it halfway through the bowl before she was full.
Moving on to Ripper's stall, Katniss picked up several bottles of white liquor.
"I ain't selling to you no more sweetheart," Ripper eyed her reproachfully.
"I'll pay you double," Katniss replied, offering her the money.
Ripper gave her a biting look, but couldn't say no to the money, she accepted the coins and turned from Katniss without another word. Shrugging and moving on, Katniss took off towards the seedy back part of the hob. Making it towards the back corner, Katniss finally spotted Oggie.
"Hey Oggie, you hooked up today?" Katniss nervously asked.
"Yah girl, I got special stuff today if you want it," Oggie pulled out a syringe, it was half full with a clear liquid. "You plunge this into your arm, and you'll spend days in heaven."
Katniss considered it, but her fear won out. "No man, i'll just take my usual."
"Ok girl, but if you change your mind let me know," Oggie put away the syringe and pulled out a small metal tin. From it he withdrew three long thin pieces of paper, each with 5 red lines on it, and handed them to Katniss. Pulling out her own tin, Katniss carefully stashed them before handing over several gold coins.
"See you next time," Oggie winked at Katniss before quickly turning around and moving away from her.
Katniss headed straight home with her purchases. She popped open one of the bottles of white liquor, and took a long draw on it. Feeling the familiar ebbing of her senses Katniss pulled out her tin and carefully ripped one of the strips into thirds. Placing one third equaling two hits of tracker jacker venom on her tongue, she closed her eyes and waited. The nausea hit her full on and she barely kept down her stew and liquor.
