The hunger games was a very brutal game of survival, you got chosen as a tribute along with Peeta Mellark. It didn't surprise you that your name got called, after how many times you'd had to steal bread and other foods for your family. Leaving was hard on your family, but not for you since you knew you had to do it.

Weeks consisted of training, learning the rules, and eating surprisingly great foods in the penthouse. It was amazing considering the place you were from, district 12, was poor and had basically no food. You and Peeta would talk now and then but you both knew that it was best to not form friendships since only one survives in the end. Haymitch had been giving small pointers here and there and Effie was just basically the mascot with her wigs and uncomfortable dresses.

The day of the hunger games was the most intense, out into an arena which was just forest and you had to hunt and try not to get killed, or die from natural causes. The game had started and now it was every man or woman out for themselves, six dead within the first hour of the game. The next few days were stressful, Peeta and a couple others had tried to kill you but a few of them died trying. After the death of a young kid tribute, you heard a shocking announcement coming from the unseen speakers in the arena. You were badly injured in a cave when you heard the announcement. Two tributes shall be crowned victors as long as both were from the same district.

Peeta was first to come to your mind, you could maybe win with him. You could barely walk though, your leg was badly burnt from a bushfire that happened in the forest. You had been trying to ignore the pain and deal with it to survive, walking and even hunting while injured. After a few hours of trying to think of what to do, the sound of heavy footsteps startles you. It was dark from the night sky but Peeta walked into the cave. The moment he saw your injury, he rushed to your side and tried to check how bad it was. He was worried about the burn on your leg.
