Chapter Two

The 71st Hunger Games: Life as a Victor and Mentor

Katniss Everdeen had a huge smile on her face as she was reunited with her family again. All of her siblings wouldn't detach themselves from her. Even her mother wouldn't stop touching her because all four of them wanted to make sure she was real, that their Katniss was finally home where she belonged. But, Katniss being Katniss ruined their heartfelt reunion when she suddenly groaned.

"Crap, this means Haymitch is our neighbor now." The Everdeen family laughed at their big strong provider's look of pure horror on her face at this realization.

Katniss used her money to turn their old house in the Seam into a hospital her mother and Prim were always busy over there. Sia started to explore the word of cooking and baking now that they don't have to worry about starving, she would always take extras to Seam families because even if no one in the Seam likes owing others it is impossible to say no to a blonde haired Everdeen.

Katniss continued hunting with Gale but giving the majority of her kills to him. The best part of the Victory Tour was Katniss got the okay to take Tel with her. It was difficult facing all the districts but no problems rose the only controversy was people's disappointment that her talent was dancing instead of singing.

It was the day of the Reaping again. Katniss couldn't get over how weird it felt hearing her name on the incredibly short list of victors of District 12: Augustan Burroughs (13th), Haymitch Abernathy (50th), & Katniss Everdeen (70th).

"Ember Winthrop" A tall fourteen olive-skinned blue-eyed blonde girl from the Seam, Ember's father was actually disowned from his Town family when he married his wife. Ember's Aunt who is Mrs. Mellark despises everyone from the Seam because of this. Katniss was determined to bring her back so she could be free of her debt to Peeta Mellark. Because despite the fact that his mother didn't approve of her estranged brother's family, Peeta was still close to his Seam cousins and Katniss hates that she stills owes him for the bread that saved her family's lives.

"Dante Winthrop" A tall fifteen olive-skinned brunette blue-eyed muscular boy, who happens to be Ember's older brother. Katniss shook her head this Huger Games just got a lot harder to deal with.

Dante and Ember arrived at breakfast they saw Effie eating daintily, Haymitch drinking to the point where he looked like he was about to pass out, and Katniss waiting for them. She certainly looked relieved when they sat down. Both siblings looked towards Haymitch for him to start, but they turned towards Katniss when she scoffed.

"If you are waiting for him to begin mentoring you, don't hold your breath" Effie let out a little surprised giggle but tried to cover it with a cough. Haymitch chuckled

"Still, pissed about last year sweetheart?" Haymitch snarked at her. Katniss rolled her eyes at his slurred words.

"Just shut up and finish your drink, Haymitch" Katniss sassed him. He smirked at her before raising his bottle to her.

"First, thing your prep teams aren't to be messed with. They have torture devices that will make you pretty for Capitol standards and if you complain the experience will be worse. With, me so far?" Katniss waited for their nods before she continued.

"Alright, I will be blunt with you two. Chances of survival are incredibly slim because of the fact you guys come from District 12 and I can only focus on one of you. I am assuming you want it to be Ember?" Katniss asked looking directly at Dante who nodded while avoiding Ember's eyes.

"Alright, I know Ember is the fastest runner on the track team and both of you are good with knifes. I know Dante is one of the better wrestlers and I've seen him help your cousins handle the heavy bags of flour at the bakery. So, hide your strength and affinity with knifes. Always, let the other tributes underestimate you but during your private sessions with the gamemakers hold nothing back. Still with me?" Katniss asked, not noticing Effie's and Haymitch's impressed looks.

Both, Dante and Ember nodded eagerly "Focus on the survival training because in the end it's all about staying alive. For, the interviews: Ember, use your looks be bubbly and flirty. Dante, you are as hostile as Gale and me to everyone that's not related to you. So, it would be in your best interest to talk about Ember go for the protective older sibling angle. It's the angle I used last year and the Capitol loved it. Any questions? Can you remember all of that?" They nodded, Ember still had a smile on her face at Katniss calling Dante hostile and Dante was still slightly blushing at the remark.

"Good. Once you two are done, you'll need to head down to the Remake Center." Katniss finished explaining to her tributes.

They both left and Effie soon followed, Katniss noticed Haymitch studying her.

"What?" She glared at the drunk.

Haymitch smirked at her, "Look, at you sweetheart being all mentor-like. Except, you overloaded them with information there at the end" He slurred the words, as Katniss gave him the-are-you-really-that stupid-or-just-drunk-look?

She rolled her eyes and sighed sadly as she said, "For all they know, is that they could be dead in a week. Do you really think they are going to forget any of their last moments? Especially the ones that could help their survival?"

She left not bothering to wait to hear his answer but she still heard his murmured, "Good point there, Sweetheart."

The Opening Ceremonies and training went on without any problems. Everyone settled down to watch the revealing of their private scores:

District One Tributes: Avenger Trigs-9 Jade Linnet-9

District Two Tributes: Brett Chance-8 Ulla Ainsworth-9

District Three Tributes: Zeke Benson-6 Tara Cook-5

District Four Tributes: Blaine Wells-10 Nyssa Guiles-8

District Five Tributes: Lucas Bright-5 Kella Foyers-7

District Six Tributes: Otto Hayes-6 Zella Fairchild-6

District Seven Tributes: Elmer Xews-4 Kendra Gus-5

District Eight Tributes: Quincy Polls-6 Ella Fray-5

District Nine Tributes: Drake Glenn-3 Callie Barns-5

District Ten Tributes: Neville Farswell -5 Ivy Brown-3

District Eleven Tributes: Walter Sniles-7 Serra Humphrey-4

District Twelve Tributes: Ember Winthrop-7 Dante Winthrop-8

Katniss smiled warmly at them, taking everyone by surprise.

"You guys scored perfectly, not low and not too high. Go to bed, you have your interviews with Caesar tomorrow." Katniss said bluntly.

Once again District 1 tributes went with the sexy angle, two were deadly, three were wise, four were charming, and five through eleven were forgettable. However, Ember and Dante played their parts perfectly. Katniss sighed heavily, now their survival is in their own hands from here on out.

The 71st Hunger Games has begun, Dante dived towards a bag of knifes and chucked one at Brett Chance from District Two when he saw that the Career was running towards Ember.

BOOM

Dante threw his sister over his shoulder and ran into the rain forest, he looked behind him to see Nyssa Guiles from District Four getting ready to throw a spear at him but he threw a knife at her throat before she could.

BOOM

As soon as they found a good resting spot for the night, a silver parachute flew down; it was a basket full of food and water. Dante and Ember smiled widely, "Thank you, Katniss" Dante whispered into the night.

Ember laughed, "Suck up" Dante just threw a grape at her as they watched the dead tributes names began filling the sky.

Both siblings were quiet as they camouflaged themselves to blend in with the ground so they could sleep without having to worry about any of the Careers finding them.

After, hearing four BOOMS during the day both siblings were curious as they looked at the night sky to see which tributes had fallen.

Dante and Ember chuckled in disbelief.

"We made it to the final eight." Ember whispered in awe.

"We have Katniss to thank for that." Dante said before picking up his pace again.

Ember scoffed, "You just think she's hot"

Dante shifted his feet uncomfortably. "She's thirteen!"

Ember cackled at her brother's discomfort. "But she doesn't look it, as I'm sure you and every other boy back home have noticed. Heck, I am a year older than her but you wouldn't think so looking at the two of us"

Dante smirked evilly at his sister, "That's because you lack tits, baby sis." Ember scowled at him before shoving him into a tree.

"Jerk" His laughter was cut short as they heard screaming and growling.

They looked behind them to see huge cat mutations ripping apart Walter Sniles from District 11, Kella Foyers from District 5, and Jade Linnet from District 1.

BOOM

"Two Careers must have been attacked at the same time as they were." Ember gushed out excitedly.

"Kind of don't care right now. Just run!" Dante screamed at her before running and dragging Ember to the Cornucopia.

Before, they could reach the waterfall that Blaine Wells was hiding away from the mutts in. The Winthrop siblings were jumped by the horrific beasts.

BOOM

Claudius Templesmith shouts rang out through the arena, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to present the Victor of the Seventy-First Hunger Games, Blaine Wells — tribute of District Four!"

"Well, damn sweetheart. You got your first tributes to the final three. That's a cause for celebration." Haymitch slurred drunkenly, as he reached for his bottle, he found a knife lodged into between his fingers.

As Katniss rushed towards her room with hot tears running down her face, she vaguely heard Haymitch say "Whoa, deju vu."
