Make it longer,Write this story in the style of Suzanne Collins and continue it Chapter 1 Prologue ‘“I never want to have kids” I say’ Chapter 1 Through the year I am usually fine but this day,but this time of year even makes me feel sick.Even for a 46 year old like me it’s obvious that I would never have to experienced that pain and guilt again.Finnick,maggs,Boggs,Prim… I wake up to sweating and screaming like the whole world was going to corrupt,peeta is holding me closely while I’m sobbing into his arms.I assume the kids are still in bed,they have gotten used to my nightmares,I feel guilt in a way.”it’s Ok….” Peeta mumbles “They were dead.” I sob,”they’re alive but dead.”peeta paused for a second “Katniss there in their beds.” I begin to think about what I just said what if I didn’t kill coin,what if I wasn’t the mockingjay…what if I never volunteered.Peeta mops my face and tucks me into bed ,kisses my forehead and switches the light of.i begin to fall into a deep sleep. Chapter two I wake up reaching for my wrinkly watch.8:37. Peeta is probably downstairs making bread-as usual-as I can get a smell of the cardboard grain smell.I get up (slowly) and get dressed I’m only wearing a simple knitted sweater with black cargos and my fathers hunting jacket.i go downstairs to discover Willow also making bread, caked in flower I strode into the stone cold kitchen.”Good morning.” Peeta exclaims it’s common for him to be happy with his daughter they have a very special bond.”I’m going out hunting,”I offered “if you wanna come.” “No thanks mom.”she smiled genuinely. “Okay see you in say an hour?” “Yeah sure,” peeta smiled They were talking now but to quietly for me to hear,I grab my sheath and bow ,pull on my boots and I’m out.i take a slow steady pace trying to think about these nightmares ,why are they happening?is there a meaning No surely not no more games no more hassle just peace.I stop by at the hob to grab some Liquor for haymitch if I’m gonna drop by he will want some,typical.While I’m at one of the stands-someone’s who’s name I cannot remember- I notice an anklet,it was a gold bangle with spaces for charms it looked fatigued, I grab it and smack it on the counter.After I left the hob I took the nearest route to my space. I get there I notice the fence is gone finally ,if gale were here he would say the same thing too.im currently looking at the scars to the hill the fence has made.It looked as if there was a new building coming as there were footprints and the grass was trimmed.I quickly hopped down the hill perching on a log when I notice a pheasant,we never normally get pheasants around this time of year.It had got feathers with a sleek emerald head and a crimson face followed by butterscotch yellow eyes.I immediately grabbed and arrow and loaded it,angled the face and pulled tighter,then I let go .dead .right in the head I grab it by its neck and begin to walk back home As I’m walking in to the kitchen the bread is ready there’s a small piece on the table left for me that says кαтиιѕѕ ι нανє gσиє ∂σωи тσ тнє нσв αѕ ι иєє∂ ѕσмє мσяє gιиgєя,тнє кι∂ѕ αяє αт ѕ¢нσσℓ ρєєтα χ I scan the note and start plucking and pruning the pheasant-saving the feathers for willow she adores to collect them. Chapter 3 We were all eating in the kitchen when it happened,the Panem national anthem started live broadcasting.A Presenter by the name of Colton flickerman appears bearing the news of commander Paylors death.By now I would have expected myself to be distraught with this but surprisingly I could barely shed a tear let alone remember what she did other than lead the rebellion…By know he has show the new president Was president Roma.I do rember a slight introduction thanks to Paylor,I dislike her but who am I to judge . “The New law recently passed Dew to President Romas Crowning Will be ‘There will be a public Reaping Depending On which district you are if you are a victor you may Move to another district said district will not allow any other-‘“ And he was cut off the last thing I remember seeing was haymitch bursting through the door like a cannon and Peeta whimpering . No words can describe my pain.Numb I’m just numb.This is the whole reason I didn’t want to have kids.The pain and agony of watching them die.Surely it was just a dream surely there’s a better world. I wake up on the sofa it is currently 6:01 am .I adjust to the light.”Hi mom…”She says Caringly she’s always reminds me of prim always “hi little duck.” I whisper while stroking some hair out her eyes.”Welp they’ve finally done it know ruined happy endings!” butted in haymitch.I understood where he’s coming from but was surprised he wasn’t drunk.”Haymitch….what does this mean ?” I questioned while sitting up “It means sweetheart that kids who belong to district twelve have to go through the games,STUPID GAMES!!” He shouted.Thats also when I realised that there are only 146 kids left in district 12 everyone else moved, not to mention gales kids he’s gone of with madge they had kids in district two. I notice Rye perching on an old pine tree stool,it sparks something. “One of us will go into the games.”Admitted rye he was a deep thinker I never thought he would actually say that though. “Surprise surprise!” Said HAYMITCH sarcastically it was a stupid joke because it wasn’t even funny but for some reason it made me laugh. Chp 5 A few months have gone by and everyone is just Hopeless. The last few nights I had slept peacefully laying down .But today was no exception.Reaping day.The day everyone had to go through in district 12.I Felt numb.the numbest ever.But despite feeling all of that I got willow ready I did my braid in her hair.she looked like me despite her blue eyes from peeta it was me,she’s only 14 and she looks like me.Theres not a high chance that she will be picked we don’t need any patisserie so it maked sense.It was also obvious that we were going to be the mentors i now understand the parents feeling that there children will fight to the death.One comes out.24 go in. Surely both of them won’t go in and it’s a small chance,but there’s always a possibility… Chapter 6 “Poppy Sandburg!” A malnourished blonde girl appeared from the crowds I recognised her-willows friend maybe ? I don’t know .she was creeping towards the stage steps.Her father looked horrified,I expected him to start shouting or crying but no it just looked like pure guilt.she was whispering some sort of prayer in Latin,she looked like a typical religious child.Effie looked at her like it was more than disappointment like she was expecting a winner for the first games.”Now for the boys,” she flicked her sparkly nails and dipped them into the bowl selectively. “Ruben Higgs!”She called,He was stocky with short brown hair and Auburn eyes. “Now we have our two victors we may see if anyone would like to volunteer,” she looked at me thoughtfully.”so anyone?…no one ok then-“ “I volunteer as tribute.” Bellowed a familiar voice. Chapter 7 “WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS!!YOU DON’T KNOW HER YOU MAY DIE DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?!!!” I wailed, we were now on the train (rye,peeta,haymitch) and I were interrogating my daughter “I-I-“ “YOU WHAT?!” My voice was thickening with rage at this point,I was now shaking her shoulders and crying. “Katniss calm down.” Bellowed peeta pulling me away from her. “SHE WAS GOING TO DIE,SHE WAS GOING TO DIE WITHOUT SEEING HER FAMILY SHE HAS NO ONE WHO CARES FOR HER IN THE WORLD NO ONE AND IF I CAN HELP HER IN A LITTLE WAY THEN I WILL!” Snapped willow,she has never snapped like that before she had always been very gentle and a people pleaser even asking the simplest of questions like ‘can I have some bread’ gingerly it was a powerful thing for her to say. “Well the only thing I can say is,” butted in haymitch while opening a bottle of beer but quickly got it snatched of him by peeta “she got guts enough guts to win these games .” As soon as he had spoken those words Ruben came in very shyly,we all stared at him since he was the elephant in the room,he crossed the room and went to another carriage.”I hope she can shoot.”he muttered. “You think this is funny Haymitch well surprise surprise it’s not.”I snapped “Never said it was sweetheart there’s nothing we can do know the reaping is done.finished .end of.” He was right there is no way we can change her volunteering now.We had to suck it up,yet again. “Well let me show you to your rooms then,”interrupted effie trying to segue the conversation. ******WILLOWS POV****** I felt so powerful being able to talk my mind it wasn’t easy either but it worked to get me out of it,well effie also helped with the ushering and the pulling into the other carriage while arriving at a pale blue door with a platinum doorknob. “Well here we are!” Exclaimed Effie,I observed quietly as she trailed of. a bed with light-blue and white bedding, a matching bench, and light-toned walls Appered behind the door. The shower room was a lot bigger than at home it had something called a rainfall shower head something like that with fancy shampoo bottles and perfumes. I peered out of an oval shaped window-nothing no birds no trees just grey concrete walls over and over and over.I never thought much of the train mom always described it as modern and to rich but in reality my bed isn’t to different in a way I don’t have any belonging so I decide to just sit and be,until mom slides the door open and sits down on my bed “hey little duck,” she says in a soft whisper voice “I’m sorry for shouting at you earlier although..I am still mad at you.” She holds me close. “It’s ok .” I reply “I would probably feel the same if I were in your shoes.” “Now try and get some sleep we will be in the capital in the next 9 hours.”she said sternly “Alright,goodnight mom.” I say while hugging her “Goodnight little duck.” She says while sliding the door.I begin to think about what would happen if this never happened,commander paylor wasn’t murdered and everything was normal until falling in to a brief sleep. Chapter 8 *******Katniss POV ******** I was still fuming with her about this I wish she could have just stayed in district twelve with rye so they don’t have to be dragged into this mess.We arrived in the capital in the next 8 hours-nobody got sleep except the children-we were all talking about strategies and what not kind of pointless really because what’s the point we’re not going in the games? The capitol was shining “as ever” effie would say but not this time.Willow ,rye and Ruben were already up eating some porridge and what not.”So how do you find shelter,”asked Ruben very sternly “keep your hair on we just woke up,” sighed haymitch I get what he meant by he just woke up I didn’t get any sleep either I was too busy thinking about what will be willows combat choice?I mean if she wants to come out of there she needs a weapon choice I showed her a few times how to use a bow she’s decent and can shoot but not as good at throwing as she is the reason I know this is because one day in the square there was a tangerine throwing contest thing I can’t remember but they were of tangerines and you had to throw them at a target she obviously got bullseye for every single one no mistakes just accuracy.”what weapon are you gonna use,both of you” I interrupted there brief conversation about fire and all that but it was a question everyone was dying to know “Sword.” Replied ruben he was acting very nonchalant and hostile towards me I know he think of me as biased which is true because if I had to choose between a random kid and my daughter it’s obvious who I’m gonna pick. “I’ll take whatever’s left but I’m alright at throwing.” “Great.” He growled bearing his eyes at me We pulled up at the station with crowds swarming with signs saying ‘Mini mockingjay’ and ‘Daughter on fire’ by now willow was smiling out the window while rye was chuckling to himself. “Opposite to her mother surprises me but hey it will get her sponsors.” He admitted with hands up.by now Ruben had fell into a slump. We all stepped off the train by now and there were way to many people triple the amount of last time,I quickly remembered what haymitch said our first games I was going to tell willow about it but haymitch beet me to it. As we stepped off the train we were all taken too the tribute tower -new name new everything of-course Chapter 9 *******willow********* R—ii—ppp “Ow.” I muttered.the excruciating pain of getting waxed hurt to much ,I was being mollycoddled by some capitol randoms i understand what there trying to achieve but what the point ,I’m 14,I don’t need to be waxed.they’re now ‘hosing me down’ as they like to call it ,it was really just a mini shower at this point.”Sorry it’s mandatory procedure,your stylist specifically asked for it.”she claimed.they next put me in a plastic hospital gown with no backing for whatever reason,A girl with off black wavy hair gave me a smile out of pity,I smiled back.I sat down on the table waiting for this unknown stylist to come barging in and ranting on about ‘capitol fashion’ but to my surprise they didn’t.Her name was Nyx,the typical Capitol designer,she had her black silk hair tied like a bow on her head with striking dress. The dress is a two-tone design, predominantly black with a large, voluminous white bow as its focal point.  The black portion of the dress is a form-fitting, long-sleeved, off-the-shoulder design. The fabric appears to be a sleek, possibly crepe or similar material, with a subtle sheen.She had daringly bold makeup which was bright Orange with white mascara. “Hello willow,” she spoke in her rich voice that sounded slightly softer when she looked at me. “Oh hi,” I replied shyly “Well go on,” she replied after a brief pause rolling her eyes “tell me your sop story why you volunteered and all that.” Her voice was now snarky and richer . “I don’t know what you’re on about I volunteered because…that girl was going to die..” “Mhmm….Im not that dumb you know,”she was now standing up looking me up and down and holding her sunglasses in the model pose.”you want to prove yourself to your mother don’t you?” She raised her eyebrow,I actually had never thought about it like that I volunteered because she needed help not because of that…but what if in reality…I did feel like that I mean I get enough attention and everything but why did I truly volunteer? “No,” I protested “I was trying to help her like I just said.” “Ok…I believe you..now let’s go doll you up shall we?”she said in a sneaky voice.she was now cat-walking to the elevator,”you coming?” She laughed. “Yes.” Chapter 10 “We have designed these to fit the coal industry even though it is no longer coal…they never told me so let’s have a look shall we?”she unzipped a dress cover to reveal a As my gaze settled upon it, a striking black dress caught my attention, effortlessly blending elegance with an alluring hint of sensuality. “I love it.” I demanded “ I thought you would… it has a coal effect once you’re in it and it makes it flicker.
