PROLOGUE

OLIVIA GRAY CARSON, bit her nails nervously, as the names get pulled from the bowl. As her name got read out in front of the crowd, a tear ran down her cheek as she realised her fate. She would be forced into fighting in that arena once again, as Snow sat on his throne and smiled down at them as they all brutally murdered each other in order to survive, only to go on to live a life still completely controlled by President Coriolanus Snow.

But she wasn't a little kid anymore. She wiped that fallen tear off her cheek and stood with pride as she walked to the microphone.
"Any words, dear?" The announcer asked her, as Olivia took the microphone and stared out at the cameras.

"Well, this is shit." Olivia puffed, staring out at the crowd once again before looking back into the eyes of the camera. "I need a drink."

Olivia placed the microphone back on its stand and took her place next to the announcer as she drew from the male tribute box. "Joshua Tremmer."

Olivia Gray's eyes widened as she turned to her friend, taking his place on the other side of her. "No." she whispered, staring over at her friend who looked full with anxiety as he turned to face her, his eyes full with fear.

Joshua was two years older than her. He had won the 67th hunger games, and he mentored Olivia through her first year. Learning that they now had to compete against each other to survive, broke both of their hearts.

"May the odds be ever in your favour."

Joshua and Olivia Gray were dragged through a building, stuck in a room together before they began their descent to the Capitol.

Thomas sat by the window, staring out at their District, biting on his knuckle, as his leg bounced up and down aggressively. "I can't believe we have to do this shit again."

Olivia walked over to him, placing her hands in his. "We will get through this, Joshua. Together. The only way we make it through this, is if we work together."

He released his hands from hers and stood up. "For what? Only to end up having to kill each other?"

"I won't let that happen." Olivia Gray promised, even thought they both knew that was a promise she couldn't keep.

They were pulled out of their dramatics by the sound of the television. They turned to the screen to witness the other tributes getting selected.

Cashmere and Gloss, District one.
Brother and Sister.

Brutus and Enobaria, District two.

"Does she have fangs?" Joshua stared at the screen in awe at the girl with the sharp teeth, snarling through the screen.

"What the-"

Wiress and Beetee, District three.

The Morphlings, District five.
[i know their district six but I changed it around for the sake of the fic]

District four, Finnick Odair...

"Finnick..." Olivia gasped, staring at the blonde man with a grin on his face, glowing through the screen.

Olivia and Finnick had met one another in the Capitol. The year after Olivia Gray's games. They had met briefly at a party hosted by President Snow, where Finnick whispered something to Olivia that made her feel uneasy.
"Run, Olivia. Before he sells you to. Some secrets just aren't worth it."

District four, Mags.

District 7, Johanna Mason and Blight.

"We are going up against a bunch of trained, psycho paths." Olivia rested her palms on her face as she everts her gaze from the screen. "I mean, why? Why would Snow do this? It doesn't make any sense..."

"I think he's trying to punish everyone for last years games..." Joshua responds, turning to look at Olivia. "Peeta and Katniss. They shouldn't have both won."

"Their fan favourites..." Olivia tells him, pacing across the room. "Sworn lovers, who would rather die together then be apart from each other."

Joshua punches the wall of the room, and groans. "Fuck!"

Olivia ran across to Joshua, pulling his swollen knuckles away from him, and placing both her hands on his face. "Listen to me. We aren't going to die, because I'm not going to let us. We're going take Snow down. And Katniss Everdeen is our ticket to freedom..."
