The 105th Hunger Games

by Dakotaderrah

Let the 105th Hunger Games begin! It's been 30 years sense Katniss Everdeen was assassinated by the capitol, and sense then the rules have changed. The only rules are no committing suicide and don't step of the plate. When Lily Everdeens' best friend is chosen, she will be brave just like her aunt. But is being brave going to cost her her life?

Chapter 8

A Blast from the Not So Far Past

Maxen and I was hustled out of the building and onto the train.
"We are so very very late" chanted Capital Hag. I still didn't know her name, and seeing how it looked like we where gonna be spending a lot of time together (before I was wrapped up for slaughter) it might make sense if I learned her name.

As if Max could read my mind he asked Capital Hag what her friends called her, "Well my friends call me Effie, but you may call me and she may call me Effie." She? Oh she meant me.
"Wait a minute, do you like sweet little Lily here over me? The drop dead gorgeous Maxen Maddox, I must say this is a first, having a beautiful women not swoon over me." he said. As if all she heard was "Beautiful women," she blushed and started swooning over him. Boys.

We were about to leave, but then Effie remembered that we where forgetting someone. "Where is that boy?" she mused. "What boy?" I asked her.
"Peeta Mellark, your mentor." Peeta. He was in the games with aunt Katniss. They both ended up winning the games, but after a rebellion Katniss had been hanged by the Capital and Peeta and the other victor Haymitch Abernathy where forced to watch, along with my mom. Sense then he had moved to the victor's village and panted and backed bread. Haymitch had killed himself after aunt Katniss' death. He and Katniss apparently had always bickered, but when she died, it had been too hard for him so he stabbed himself in the neck. Now Peeta Mellark is the only surviving victor left of district Twelve.
