Hey I'm back and I forgot to add, Anne crests will not be in this fan fiction so keep that in mind.

~life has many different chapters of a story. one bad chapter doesn't mean its the end of the book~

~Piper pov~

"…Do you think she's ok…..I don't know should we wake her…is she dead…you sent for dad right poppy" voices began to filter through pipers head when she slowly came to. she was tired from what happened, which she didn't understand knowing it breaks every law known to man, whatever it was.

"Hey I think she's wakening" said a soft voice, that of a child most likely.

"Oh my head" piper whimpered leaning up on her elbows.

"where am I" she whispered to no one in particular, she found herself in an orchard, bright light shinning through the spaces of the leafs.

"Your alright!" squealed the gathered children, the one speaking looking no older then six, front teeth missing African American like all the other children it seemed, and hand me down clothes, all of them seemed to have worn out patched up clothes.

"Yes I'm fine" piper said giving the child a smile. soon she was bombarded with questions.

"where you from…..are you ok…..you have weird clothes….." The onslaught of questions were shushed by a man in gray pants and dirt clad clothes, when he reached the group of kids surrounding piper, she felt out of place.

And now looking down at her own clothes made her feel embarrass, seeing how she was in her hello kitty shirt and matching pants with her slip on purple tutu and slippers didn't help.

"Now I heard there is a woman passed out here's" the man that said it was a very large man. Compared to him piper could be Thumbelina…

"this is her" all the children began to chant, the man peered down on her making her feel uncomfortable.

" your not from here are you" stated the obvious, nodding to her clothes and her lab top carryon bag, that had her hungers games book, silver chain and a few other things she abstinent mindedly stuffed in.

"No sir I'm not, and don't say where I'm from cause you will never believe me anyway" she said in a firm voice.

At that the children started to get her to tell them, and inquiring about her clothes and her name, piper looked back at the man, and he nodded in the direction of a crumbling, worn-out, shack that seems like there home.

Standing up and dusting her backside, of dirt and leafs she grabbed her carryon, kids trailing behind her as she followed this man. they approached the front door that seemed to be coming off the hinges, holding out the door, piper gave him a questioning look, which he simply nodded once more to the open door.

The inside was as raggedy as the outside, with just two side rooms it didn't seem like much. an older woman with a sunken in face, tall and thin and glassy brown eyes. was sitting in the center of the main room.

" we have a guest" the little kids squalled, running towards the women which must be there mother, the way her eyes lit up when she saw them, and kissed them on the forehead or cheek.

pipers own parents never showed any affections toward her always away on business, or out with friends or dining's with important people, she duets they even remember her birthday. It sent a spark of jealousy and longing just looking at there childish glee when there mother cooed at them.

Standing up the older women approached piper, she waited for her to ask her to leave, but it never came, instead the women took her hands and gave a welcoming smile.

"Come sit, you seem as though you came along way there" she said. Leading her to a makeshift stool, piper happily sat down clutching her bag to herself, as though it was a link to keep her sane.

"now tell us, where did you come from" the man that lead her hear asked, standing with two little giggling girls on each arm "as I said, I don't think you could understand, what happened to me, I don't even know where I am" piper said in a putout voice.

"Your in district eleven of panem" the oldest looking girl said. her mind realized with a snap of disbelief, it was overwhelming so piper fainted.

"… is she alright mama….. Did she die this time… what do we do mama….." groaning piper as sat up again. removing her legs off the over turned stool, she previously occupied.

"what happened" she moaned as three of the children helped her sit up, which she thanked.

"you fainted my dear" the older women said looking on in worry.

"I'm sorry" piper said feeling her cheeks burn red. "not a problem" she replied back with a sweet smile.

"now where did you, say you're from? Piper looked down in thought piper was never one that beat around the bush, measuring the prose and cons, of what she was about to say.

"my name is piper, I'm eighteen and you might not believe me, but I'm from a place that all this" waving her hand around to indicate her surrounding area. "is a parallel universe where in mine this is all a book." To finishes her speech she pulled out the hunger games, and handing it to the women. who surprisingly knew how to read, and was taught by her mother.

"Taking the book in her hands, she began to read and she must be a fast reader, cause she was already on the third chapter" looking up she turned to her supposed husband.

"Its true" she said in an unbelieving voice, the man looked from the book back to piper a few times, walking up to his wife he took it into his hands. "I may not read, but these word are forever engraved into my mind" he said, handing it back.

~ Time skip~

it was the next morning, and after yesterdays surprise and finding out it was indeed, rues family that had found her, to her great shock she explained about the basics of the book, and the heartbreaking moment when she had to explain how little rue, was selected as a tribute.

her mother clutched her to her side, crying and wailing into her hair, as rue was holding back her own, for her siblings who were gathered around in screams of sorrow, and her father left the house completely.

After the scene was over, and Mr. Star returned (she learned there names) they devised a new identity for her, she kept her name, they came up with that she was fizz's ( father) sisters daughter, his sister died about five-months before coming here to this world. so they would say that they took her in ( much to the children's joy) and now she along with rue, and her four younger siblings, wick being the only boy and second oldest, poppy the third oldest, jinx and finally quelling.

All six of them were heading towards the orchards, where it is requested that all should work, as long as you're too young or to old you must work, so now rue was talking about how, she was going to teach her to sing with mockingjays, while the others ran through the trees as they know the route by heart.

Piper seemed to get along great with the children; she was entrusted with the children while Mrs. and Mr. star were harvesting the crops. but she knew rue was her favorite, they soon reached a wide opening where men and women were gathering apples, mazes of ladders people going up to fill there baskets and giving the filled fruit baskets, to the person waiting down below to take to a large holding stock.

Rue lead her too where poppy and wick, were already picking fruit and jinx and quelling, waited with an extra basket too send up while they empty the full one.

" come on you can come up with me" rue said with a wide grin going to the tree where jinx was waiting under, since piper lived on a farm climbing wasn't a problem, but its been a while since she's been on a farm.

Carefully climbing up behind rue, who had the grace of a gymnastics champion, she reached a sturdy looking branch that could hold her weigh, and started to pick fruit and putting them into the wicker basket, that she brought up with her.

after a while of filling and handing them to jinx's below, rue exclaimed. "Look a mockingjay" piper turned in time to see a brown looking woodpecker like bird with white around the eyes, and piper could see why it was called a mockingjay. it looked like the blend of a jaybird and a mockingbird, it was fascinating rue then began whistling and to pipers amusement it coped her.

All to soon the sun began to set, a horn was blown to signal the end of the work day, as piper began to descend from the tree the branch snapped underfoot, sending her sliding down the tree and without touching the ground, instead feeling strong arms, looking up at the face of her rescuer, she saw the face of thresh the seventy-third tribute for district eleven.

"Are you alright" he said, acting nothing like he did during the movie except during the time, he saw rue steal Catos knife, she gave him a slight nod and he put her down.

the littler kids corroded around her when he did, asking if she was alright which she said she was fine. Rue skipped up happily to thresh, as though she knew him a life time. "thank you for saving my cousin from that fall, rue began pulling piper away from the littler kids to stand in front of thresh.

" this is my cousin piper, piper this is thresh" even though rue knew piper knew him she had to get it to seem less obvious piper knows about him, and knows what's going to happen later on. "it was nice meeting you" thresh said, helping a much older man with a limp carry his baskets.

"He's so nice" piper whispered only low enough but rue could hear, rue tried to hid there laughter, but piper heard loud and clear. as she stuck at her tongue at the giggling girl. rue couldn't withstand it as she giggled away.

"now who are you laughing at" piper faked a frown which made rue laugh harder. "well since you cant stop laughing, I'll give myself something to laugh about, here you have ahead start, before I throw you in the river, all of you" she said turning to the rest, the kids went screaming towards the house as piper came running behind them, feeling as though she never had before.

~ Maryanne pov~

looking out at the glossing sea, Maryanne was suffering in silence because of the décor of mags home, she couldn't stand the cat clock that chimed every half-hour, or the bright lime furniture or the stuffed fishes, that smelt just what a fish should, after a week in the sun, but it didn't look as thought it bothered mags, and worst they were lining the place she thought her mother was bad, mags got nothing on her.

But Maryanne lived in this kind of environment before, she can do it again, "just in a different place" she whispered head now looking at the cotton blue carpet.

At that moment mags walked into the room, a green turtleneck with gray knitted pants, was her choice of clothes this morning, Maryanne herself was wearing a lavender shirt, that was made out of silk, and gray leggings, with black starfish designs on the ankles. All thanks to mags.

"We're going to have dinner with finnick tonight, that man would starve without me" she grumbled out in her old slurred voice, as though she had just run a marathon, just talking about finnick as if he was a big baby.

"now come along, he must be whining about how hungry he is by now" she said walking out the door, Maryanne on her heels.

"You would of thought he would of learned to cook by now, I bet he never learned because he swindled me into doing it, one of these days I'll just let him starve" mags said walking with an arm linked with one of Maryanne's.

They soon reached the enormous house, which finnick had all to himself, knocking on the door mags and Maryanne waited patently, when three minutes past mags got annoyed and just barged in "FINNICK ODAIR WHERE ARE YOU!" mags yelled.

As Maryanne calmly walked into the house, wiping her feet on the welcome mat, and sitting on the cushy loveseat waiting patiently, while mags on the other hand was marching down the hall, with a which look that say's "no ones getting out alive today" and when she came to finnick room, heaven help him. she slowly opened the door and walked in silently, closing the door just as softly, finnick sleeping soundlessly a evil glint came to mags eyes, as she made her way towards his bed.

Leaning towards his ear. "wake up finnick" she said softly, he stirred slightly.

"I SAID WAKE UP" mags hollered, which worked better to get him up an moving. Even managing to slip off the side, and onto his back.

"Oh! now that your awake, we can get dinner started" mags said happily as she walked out.

"That's a scary woman" finnick mumbled to himself, throwing the covers back on the bed that came down with him.

Maryanne was helping mags, make fish stew with greens when finnick came stumbling into the kitchen with a bed head and fishy p.j bottoms.

"Nice to see your finally awake" mags said not turning around. "how did you sleep" she continued, finnick gave a sarcastic grin and said. "just fine woke up to, the sounds of crashing waves and dawning light coming through my window" he finished with an eye roll.

"That nice" she replied.

"Foods ready" Maryanne finally called, its been done all through there conversation, but she didn't want to interrupt.

As they sat down, Maryanne folded her hands in prayer, which to mags and finnick seemed strange, after saying grace she looked up into mags and finnick, bewildered faces.

"Sorry" she said softly, digging into her food so that she was saved from more questions, mags and finnick lost interest, as they talked about the upcoming hunger games, with anger and distain in there tones.

She zoned out and just concentrated on eating, when she was half way done, finnick waved a hand over her face. "yes" she said startled, which ended up finnick getting backhanded by mags.

"We were wondering, if you could tell us where you come from, any friends or family you want to contact" mags asked her softly staring into her soft blue eyes.

Maryanne sat there for awhile, stirring her stew with her spoon before putting it done, suddenly lost her apatite. she just shook her head, hair falling into her face like a screen. "Ok dear, take your time" mags said changing the subject.

After dinner mags and Maryanne were ready to leave, and finnick was waiting at the door to show them out. "well aren't you ready to get rid of us" mags said with a smile on her face, which finnick copied with his signature grin. "Well one out of two" was his reply, ending up getting backhanded by mags again.

"It was nice for you having us" Maryanne said coming to join them. "my pleasure to have a beautiful women grace my home" was his cheeky reply.

"And you would of starved if we didn't" mags said opening the door. "oh your still here" finnick shot back.

Maryanne couldn't help but giggle quietly, the way they bickered was as though they had been doing it for there own entertainment.

"Thank you again" Maryanne said walking out behind mags, with a small wave to finnick who waved back.

Walking back to mags home she couldn't tell what to do now. "maybe tomorrow will give me answers" she said, not knowing her friends where four districts to her left, and seven to her right.

"So how's my chapter 2 now to answer some questions " no Annie" " no Megan yet" and more piper/ Diana coming up in chapter 3.
