"Choose your last words, this is the last time
'Cause you and I, we were born to die"
In a dystopian world where the Hunger games are seen as a punishment for a rebellion the Districts had caused in hopes of change.

The story always starts the same way, the day of the reaping two unfortunate souls get chosen to go into a death game knowing they most likely won't make it out alive given their districts number. They go in and lose their minds only to be called the victor once everyone else is dead and every once in a while someone from the lower districts somehow manage to win, yet those are the ones who seemingly gain the most unwanted attention.

*2 years before the 75th Hunger Games*
Évangeline Undersee stood in the silent woods as she stood waiting for two others to join her, the woods was always a breath of fresh air compared to the tense air of the Merchant sector on reaping day. The soft footsteps behind her drew her eyes away from the birds that sang above them, "I told you she was already out here" a younger girl stated triumphantly as she smirked back at the older boy.
The older boy rolled his eyes, "you always seem to let me know when you are Catnip" he sassed back with a small smile that played his lips.
His fondness was clear in his eyes as he looked back at her, "you two got up later today, I had enough time to check some of the snares and killed a few squirrels in the time it took for you ladies to get up" Évangeline stated with a small proud smile as she readjusted the rope that held five squirrels that hung over her shoulder.
"See Gale she is useful" the girl sassed the older boy making Gale roll his eyes once more but this time in a less loving way.
"Katniss shut up and get your bow" he snapped lightly. Katniss rolled her eyes but walked over to a hollowed out tree that was close to the border of district 12 as Gale turned to the older girl, his face tried to harden as he glared at her but his resolve broke when he saw the small teasing smile that played her lips. "Why do you always have to encourage her?" He asked with a small smile.
Évangeline smiled a little more, "maybe if you weren't so set on being an ass I wouldn't need to encourage anyone" she stated as she held an innocent look in her eyes.
Gale scoffed out a laugh, "you're the only ass I see out here posey" Évangeline rolled her eyes at the nickname that use to make her blood boil.
As Katniss rejoined the two they began walking deeper into the woods, "did the extra tesserae help you two get through the winter easier?" Évangeline asked as she pulled out her book Katniss helped her make about eatable plants around district 12.
Katniss grimaced at the thought, "it did and I'll pay you back in some way" the younger girl said not liking to feel indebted to someone.
