I stand numb, holding a bloodied rock over a corpse as the cannon goes off. I look up as my face is in the sky reading '73rd Hunger Games Victor' I won... but at what cause. I beat the odds, but was it worth it...

I shoot up, gasping for air as I look at my surroundings.

"For fucksake that nightmare again. It's like I'm still in that arena, " I mutter.

I get up and wander to the living room

I switch on the TV and sit on the sofa. The screen switch's to President Snow on a stage.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the 75th year of the Hunger Games. And it was written in the charter of the Games, that every 25 years there would be a Quarter Quell, to keep fresh for each new generation the memory of those who died in the uprising against the Capitol. Each Quarter Quell is distinguished by Games of significance. And now, on this, the 75th Anniversary of our defeat of the rebellion, we celebrate the 3rd Quarter Quell." President Snow finished the first part of his announcement, and then he turned to the young boy. The boy opened the wooden box, and President Snow reached in and brought out an envelope. He slowly opened it, a grin across his face. There were only two others before him who had the privileged to do this. His great grandfather, Tiberus Snow, and his uncle Commodus Snow.

Snow opened the envelope, and pulled out the golden card.

"As a reminder that even the strongest cannot overcome the power of the Capitol, on this 3rd Quarter Quell Games, the male and female tributes are to be reaped from the existing pool of Victors in each District.
All Victors will present themselves on Reaping Day, regardless of age, state of health, or any other hinderance. They will compete in thishQonor and sacrifice in a glorious fashion, and will compete for the ultimate crown." President Snow finished reading the card, looked into the camera, and gave a dismissal nod. The screens went black once again.

The realisation that I'm the only alive female victor of District 10.

I have to go again...
The odds are never in our favour...
