sugar cubes-Finnick odair

A few years later

President snow came over for a visit.

Snow thinks I'm valuable now, I'm 17 and now he wants to send me to the capital so he gets paid for people to do anything they want to me. I'm property now. I hate my life.

The first time I said no, but he showed me the consequence. He killed my mom and dad and lastly my best friends Nate. His family disappeared a few months ago and they've found only one of Nate's dead little sisters sitting in the woods left.

I haven't left my house in a few years but Athena brings me food and other necessities. Atlas moved in with me about 4 and 1/2 years ago. My parents weren't the nicest and atlas needed to leave. It was either him with me or him homeless. The morphing have been kind enough to let me not train any of the tributes so I've stayed cooped up in my home except for the capital visits. I also got a cat her name is Hazel she's a small brown cat with big greenish brown eyes. She catches all the mice and rats for me.

5 years later

Im 22 now. I cut my hair, it's now shoulder length and I like it, better to get out of my face. I'm currently watching the announcement from snow to see what we'll have to deal with because it's a quarter quell.

"And now we honor our third quarter quell."
President snow starts as a little now in white steps up with a box full of prices of paper for centuries of quarter quells.

"On the 75th anniversary, as a reminder to the rebels that even the strongest among them cannot overcome the power of the capital, the male and final tributes will be reaped from their existing pool of victors."

Oh no

I'm going in, over the years the morphings have been kind and thoughtful to me, I'm going in the arena again. And I intend to win again. I have nothing in that arena I care for.

Today is reaping day, peacekeepers came and took me from my home and lead me to the reaping hall. I go up on the stage and by the look of some of the peoples faces I think most people either didn't watch my games, forgot about me or was just surprised to see me after like 8 years. I probably look a little different.

"Welcome everyone to come watch district 6s reaping ceremony!" Pearl said through the microphone. "Today our president has declared that we pull tributes from our victors so let's go right ahead, as always ladies first." She says inching toward the huge bowl that is usually filled with 100s of slips but now only filled with two. "And our district 6 female tribute is, Grace Johnson." Pearl says sadly but with a forced smile. I walk up and stand next to her. She then walks over to the other bowl with just the morphings name in it and he is pulled we shake hands and are finally sent off to the capital.

When we get there we have to walk through a crowd of annoying capital citizens, and I have to smile at them or else snow will kill atlas and Athena. I hate my life. We walk into the tall building and make our way up to our floor to get ready for the tribute parade. Boring. As always Justin and diamond clean me up and do my hair and makeup and Athena whisks me away so she can dress me up in my dress. It was dark, close to the one as last year but more cleavage, but I don't really care. They curled my hair so it looked a little shorter but it looked good with the dress. I walk out and to my horse. I don't care about making allies. I don't care. As I reach my horse a man comes walking up to me as if we've known each other for years.

"Hello Grace."

"Hello Finnick." I say looking him up and done because of the ridiculous outfit he has on.

"Want a sugar cube?" He says opening his hand piled high with sugar. "They're supposed to be for the horses but you might need it with the outfit you're wearing."
