Death is the one thing unavoidable. There is no escaping it, even if you sell your soul.
Many have tried to escape the inescapable, all have failed. That has been put on display since the very first 'Hunger Games'.
Evanora Nightingale was misery's favorite companion.
Her entire life, the young girl was brought up believing that the games were a gift.
Being born to a Career district, she spent her entire life training, preparing for war.
That was when she was chosen as the female tribute from district 4 who was reaped for the 72nd Hunger Games put on by the Capitol.
Her talents were put on display for the entirety of Panem to see. The little girl that they knew and loved was then turned into something vicious, a hungry parasite.
All at the hands of the Capitol.
Her wits, she used to her advantage. Outsmarting her opponents in the arena came naturally to the young girl. She had an impressive talent that only few possessed.
Vocal manipulation was something that Evanora had perfected at only 12. Her mother had taught her the unique skill that was only possible in very few of the Nightingale bloodline.
In the arena, the young girl would call out as her opposing tributes. Morphing her voice perfectly as her opponents, making the alliance members guard falter. All giving her the opportunity for attack. She killed 9 of the fellow tributes in the span of three weeks.
The overall games lasted a total of 9 weeks, leaving Evanora as the victor. When she was pulled from the arena, the glimmer in her irises was nowhere to be found while her smile reached nowhere close to her dead eyes.
When she returned to the Capitol, everyone could see the girl that they loved had changed so drastically, becoming a shell of her old self. The lively, energetic girl was now angry and guarded.
A short time of being the Capitol's darling, it was President Coriolanus Snow who then told her about her status.
She was the most desirable victor in all of Panem, making her valuable to those who wanted it. Her body was sold to the highest of the Capitol people, being only a simple piece of meat to the lust filled humans.
She had refused once before she knew what fate had in store for those who dared to tempt it. She paid the price for her decision.
President Snow had brought her mother and sister to the Capitol to show Evanora that she would never have the upper hand. The only thing that mattered most to the victor was murdered in front of eyes while she could only watch as the soul was drained from them, leaving their fate up to whatever higher power was feeling merciful to the poor innocent beings.
After the death of the only family she had ever known, she grew attached to her mentor, Keliah Wisled. Keliah was the District 4 winner of the 68th games, being only 6 years older than Evanora. The Nightingale girl also grew close to another past victor, Haymitch Abernathy.
While Keliah was her sister, Haymitch was her father.
While on tour of the Capitol, Evanora Nightingale met the pretty boy of District 4, Finnick O'dair.
To say that Finnick O'dair had been enchanted by Evanora Nightingale was an absolute understatement. At the first glance, Finnick knew that he was in deep, and there would be no coming back from her intoxicating charm.
Will years apart change everything between the two?
What will come when she finds herself stuck in the same situation that she vowed she would never allow herself to fall victim to again with victors of past games?
Will she find solace within the boy who intrigued her all those years ago?
