Return of the Tributes

Chapter 17! 108 reviews! Amazing! I never thought I would get this far. This is the longest fanfic I've written. Awesome! Announcement: Me and my friend are gonna read the dictionary! Oh that reminds me, Ace, Prim's friend, technically is Katie's character, but I'm allowed to use her, as long as I credit Katie. Anyways, you're all awesome! And this isn't as OC, but it's still kinda OC. But I promise the story will get better, and less OC.

miyame-chan: Thanks! I love writing about OC character, 'cause it's so easy.

Unknown: Yeah. I think my friend got it from dance, but she used him in her story so I have to credit her for him.

books-n-cookies: Thanks! And now that I think about it, Thresh eating pancakes is pretty funny. And I'm glad you liked the Clove part, I thought I was being to emotional and dramatic.

Turtlezz4eva: Yep, their Katniss's kids and they're protecting the new government. Arrow and Thresh joined them, going against Snow's allies.

AThousandLifetimes: Thanks! And yes, you're right, they came to help Katniss and tell her about Clove and the rest of the Careers.

Anon: Omigod! Thank you! I'm also a die hard Clato shipper. So when I saw the movie I was mad. Glato, really Gary Ross?

Thanks for all the reviews! Anyways, Chapter 17: Fear!

Prologue

You may have thought they were dead. Well not anymore. The Capitol leaders of before the rebellion went underground, taking the bodies of the dead tributes with them. Using Capitol technology, they were able to bring the tributes back, only the smartest and strongest were brought back to help regain control of Panem. This isn't the end of the story…

Prim 17: Fear

District 2 people always scared me. My friend, Ace is from district 2 and she always scares me. She carries around a dagger that she says is for 'protection'. But it still scares me to death. So the tributes, that supposed to be dead, are probably gonna give me a heart attack. I'm not meant for frontline attacks, Allegreto is. I'd be happy with a long-range rifle in an aircraft, but, no, I have to be on the frontline with my brother.

"Frontline." Ace says leaning over to look at my assignment. "Fun. You're with me."

"Great." I say sarcastically.

"Hey. I know you hate frontline, but I'll keep you safe, I promise." She puts her hand on my arm.

"Thanks, Ace. But I can handle myself." I smile at her. "I'll be fine."

"Suit yourself." She shrugs, pulling out a bag of something colorful.

"What's that?" I ask.

"Something my dad got me. He calls them Jelly Beans. Want some?" She opens her fist revealing a bunch of colorful beans.

"Sure." I take a couple and put them in my mouth. I cough as the flavor hits, overwhelmed.

Ace laughs, "A little overpowering at first, but delicious. A Capitol invention, expensive but tasty." Ace tosses a couple more into her mouth.

Of course, her dad was general of the peacekeepers and went to the Capitol a lot, he also had good pay; he spoils his kids rotten. Ace has 2 brothers, both brutal and scary, then herself, a brutal 17 year-old that is wicked with a dagger. They had top-quality weapons and their dad brings them presents from the Capitol all the time.

Arrow walks in and spots me, "Prim, we will need some more of those mutts, can you produce them by tomorrow?"

"How many more?" I ask her, happy for a task to occupy my time.

"One for Allegreto, but that's implied. One for you. One for Ace. One for Thresh. One for Scorpio. And one for Fabian. So six. Is that possible?"

"Yeah." I turn to Ace. "Prep the legions."

She nods and runs toward the battle room, her long braided hair flying out behind her.

"C'mon, Arrow. I need your help." I start to jog down the hallway, but Thresh stops us.

"Ten kilometers off. The knife-girl is leading them." He says to us. I have found that he rarely says anything, but when he does, you better listen.

"Thanks, Thresh. Go help Ace with preparations." I tell him, he nods running off towards the battle room.

I start running to the tech room and start clicking buttons. I explain what I'm doing to Arrow. "Basically, we're just copying the mutts used for your games, but wiring their brain to obey a certain person."

She nods and gets to work, being from the power district, she's pretty smart and good with machines. We are able to create 7 sets in minutes, perfectly tailored for each person.

I survey the mutts, "This'll hold them back." I smile at my work.

"C'mon. They're really close." Arrow pulls me out of the room to get suited up for combat.

My mind is shut-down, free of all emotions, except one… fear.

So did you like it? The battle will be next chapter. Again sorry about all the OC's but it's the best way to do the new gov't's protectors. So tell me what you think. Thanks guys!
