Hey guys! I was just wondering if you guys could pump up the reviews a little more? I really want to try to do a good job on this, and I need you guys to tell me what you think I can do to make it better! Whether its grammar, facts, personal opinions, or whatever! Love ya! ~Jess

"Welcome, citizens of lovely Panem! I am Caesar Flickerman, am on my right we have the lovely Peeta Mellark, co-winner of the 74th Hunger Games! How are you today Peeta?"

"I'm fine, how are you, Caesar?" I replied.

"Such a polite boy. I'm great. So tell us about your time in the 75th Hunger Games?"

I hesitated. The wrong answer could hurt me and my family. But, Panem should know the truth. "Well, it wasn't much different than the one before. Survival of the fittest, alliances, that sort of stuff."

"Ah, I see. So, who would you say was the fittest to win in this sort of situation?"

I thought through the possible answers. Johanna, Finnick, Katniss…

"I'd have to say that each person had their own strengths and weaknesses."

"Come now. You won't be upsetting anyone."

"Katniss."

Whoa, where did that come from? She's not a person I care about. She's a monster. I've been over this a thousand times already.

"Ah, the star-crossed lovers. I'm sure that I was not the only one who thought that would be your answer." He gave a hearty laugh that came from deep in his diaphragm.

"So," he continued. "Do you have anything you want to say to Katniss?"

A million thoughts raced through my head. I thought I was I going to explode. I had a crazed feeling running through me; like I had had too much caffeine.

"You…in thirteen…dead by morning!" I said. Caesar was for once speechless, looking beyond the camera for help.

"End it!" Snow yelled.

The camera wouldn't turn off right away. The camera man looked started, and as a last resort, just tilted the camera to the ground.

The Guards tried to shut me up by hitting me with a club it the back of the head. I fell to the ground in pain with an agonizing scream. My world was spinning. I couldn't think of anything.

I felt my head slam to the ground with a loud "thud". I saw my blood splatter on the tiled floor. In a distance I heard the scream of a teenage girl. The scream sounded all too familiar. It took me a minute to figure out who it was as my eyes shut.

Katniss.
