the hunger games

 { Effie smiles cheerfully at the crowd of District 12. Coco stiffens up, her beautiful face fixated in an angry look as she stared Effie down as she talked about the wonderfulness of the Capital}

Coco winced. She truly did like Effie, sure she was rude towards her for quite some time, but she grew to understand that not every capital citizen was her enemy, some of them were genuinely good...like Cinna. God, how she missed Cinna. 

Haymitch patted Coco's shoulder firmly. He too missed Cinna. Coco was so much like his younger self sometimes it hurt looking at the poor girl. During her games he grew an attachment to the girl's youth and determination, her compassion spoke numbers. Seeing her in pain hurt more than he cared to admit, not that he'd ever tell her that of course-he'd never live it down.

{" Happy Hunger Games! And may the odds be EVER in your favor!" Effie chirps happily as if she wasn't about to send some underfed poor child to their brutal demise with no chance of survival. }

" The odds are never in our favor" The victors in the room whisper together. The other group in the room may not notice it just yet but this particular phrase would come to taunt their minds much like it did to the victors in the room. 

Magnus narrowed his cat-like eyes at the victors in the room. He wasn't too sure why this particular phrase seemed to have such a sad effect on the room, but it did, the phrase seemed to leave a noticeable chill in the room. He locked eyes with Alec. He too seemed to have caught on too, Magnus chuckled. Of course, he did, his Alexander was incredibly intelligent. His boy's observation skills were phenomenal. 

{"Ladies First!".}

Haymitch closes his eyes. He of course already knows what goes down as this already happens but this time its personal, this time he's sober- well mostly and he's come to see Coco as a daughter figure, a stubborn teenage menace. 

{Everyone stills. Nobody breathes, Coal dust overed families look on terrified. A type of terror that would only come from such cruelty from a tyrant ruler.} 

Cat holds Madzie closer, and Alec holds Max closer to his chest with one arm as Magnus rubs soothing patterns into his shoulder. Both tense with worry for the future of their mate.

Max and Madzie lock eyes. They were young but intelligent in their own right, they knew something was going down. They could feel the suffocating tension in the room. Max was older than Madzie so he knew everyone in the room was worried about the pretty tanned girl with silvery eyes...Coco. He just wasn't sure why everyone was so worried, but the reaping was definitely involved.  He too was worried about the reaping the pretty girl, Lavender seemed pretty shaken up about the whole thing.

How was this? How do you want me to write Coco's and Peeta's bond? Not too sure how to write them just yet but Coco is still sorta Katniss Everdeen coded, she's got some of her character traits she's just more open and likable. She's still blunt and kinda prickly but she's more sensitive or feeling. 

Before anyone comes at me wondering why I added feathers to Coco's character, I did this because I have a liking for Piper Mclean from HOO and got some inspiration for Coco from her character.
