the hunger games

[Words on screen]“From the Treaty of Treason: In penance for their uprising, each district shall offer up a male and female between the ages of 12 and 18 at a public “Reaping.” These Tributes shall be delivered to the custody of The Capitol. And then transferred to a public arena where they will Fight to the Death until a lone victor remains. Henceforth and forevermore, this pageant shall be known as The Hunger Games.”]

" What the fuck!?" Alec seethed looking at the screen in distaste. Cat pulls Madzie closer to her side not bearing the thought of Madzie being put in a games so sick and twisted let alone any other child.

Magnus narrows his eyes at the screen before darting them to Coco. Was she ever picked??? Coco didn't meet his eyes so he couldn't be sure.

" like the purge " Simon comments.

Alec glares at the vampire, " Not now" .

[Seneca Crane (v.o.): “I think it’s our tradition. It comes out of a particularly”]

(Seneca Crane and Caesar Flickerman are sitting on white seats in the auditorium of The Capitol, Caesar is interviewing Seneca.)

[Seneca Crane (v.o.) “painful part of our history.”]

[Caesar: “Yes, yes.”]

[Seneca: “But it’s been the way we’ve been able to heal. First it was a reminder of the rebellion."]

Several people scoff. " How is that healing!?"

Coco doesn't say anything but anger was clear on her beautiful face.

[Ceasar: "Yes." (Caesar agrees, looking out into the crowd before looking back.)

[Seneca: "It was a price the districts had to pay. But I think it has grown from that. I think it’s uh- something that knits us all together.”]

Again everyone in the room, even Larenzo looks beyond angry. Magnus closes his eyes and counts down from 100 . Exploding wouldn't do anyone any good.

(The audience applauds.)

People growl under their breathe.

[Caesar: “This is your third year as Gamemaker. What defines your personal signature?”]

[Seneca takes a breath in and the scene changes to district 12. “DISTRICT 12” is in the bottom right corner. Lavender Everdeen screams.]

Lavender: “NO! NOO!”

(Coco, her sister, soothes her. She looks younger and smaller looking, she looks underfed and malnourished.)

Finnick flinched. He was reminded that people from district 12 didn't eat like his district. He briefly wondered if Coco ever came close to dying of starvation... God he hoped not.

Coco:“Shh, shhh.” (Coco hugs lavender and strokes her golden hair.) “It’s okay, it’s okay. You were just dreaming, you were dreaming.”

(Levender starts to sob)

Levender: “It was me.”

Coco: I know, I know, but it’s not. It’s your first year, lav, your name’s only been in there once. They’re not going to pick you. Shh, try to go to sleep.”

Several people look on in confusion and the people from the districta scoff. Like that made any difference. It was all rigged anyways.

Levender: “I can’t.”
