you were reaped, it all happened to fast. you had frozen, being pushed onto the stage, stumbling around to wherever they dragged you. you only fully snapped back was in your interview the day before the games. you played sweet, yet mysterious. not too far off from the truth.

you had heard of this years female tribute from district 12. katniss everdeen. she was skilled with a bow, even got a 11 on her training score, you only got a 8.

now, you were in the games. it’s a good thing you learned which berries were safe, how to get water. you didn’t have any allies or weapons, but yourself and a backpack with food and water, a few flowers you picked for yourself.

you found a pile of stuff, crawling over to it. you snooped through it: as soon as you opened a backpack someone grabbed you from behind.

they were behind you, hand coming to your jaw to lift it up, some weapon to your neck.

you knew who it was, her hands calloused from hunting. her nails long enough to dig into your pale skin. you could only hope she’d realize you weren’t a threat and let you go. she weirdly seemed like she didn’t wanna kill, despite the fact that she was one of the strongest in the arena.

“care to enlighten me as to why you’re snooping about my things, hm?” she said, a slight hiss in her tone.
