Goodbye. Hello.

I hold my head. Elizabeth opens an envelope with the Capitol's Seal in wax on the front. "The following names are the ones who stay," Elizabeth rubs the coffee stained piece of paper. "District 12: Jewel Everin. District 11: Reala Vinedark." Elizabeth smiles. My eyes water and I fall to the ground, holding my head in between my legs. My other fellow staying tributes are announced, but I barely hear their names.

I look up, to see my name and Reala Vinedark's name above 10 others. I read them out in my head.
District 10: Catrion Hadejn
District 9: Annabeth Avsa
District 8: Wriena Nowhe
District 7: Rich Cloa
District 6: Erix Noab
District 5: Elia Theah
District 4: Percy Evans
District 3: Astria Galis
District 2: Aamiss Zedd
District 1: Fur Sha

I think for a second. Then I look around. Hugo stands a far ways, looking drunk, and happy. "Those who leave, will stay in a Capitol Hotel to watch the games, and then will go back. The hotel is designed to each leavers District, making it more like 'Home'." Elizabeth must be proud of her stupid little plans. I wish that she canceled the games, not make them worse. I look up at her. I see her differently.

I can see the abused District 12 tribute. There stands not Elizabeth Huntvine, but Elissa Robin. Elissa changed her name, and ran for President. She's from the 60th games. She won. That was when she was 17. It was 20 years ago. She's 37. I run to her as the people clear out. Katniss looks back at me. "Jewel?!?" She shouts. I ignore her and she begins to chase me. I run out of her reach and to Elissa. She looks at me. "Jewel Everin. Well. Well. Well. What do you need?" "Can I speak to you. Alone?" I ask. "Follow me." Is all she says.

We sit in a white room. The tiles are cold on my hands. "I know who you are." I look at her. "Wow. I'm suprised at your observation skills." Elissa smiles. "Do you -" I start to ask but she intrups me. "Apart of the Rebellion?" She smiles. "Y-Yes" I stutter. "Yes." She plainly says. I look up at her with big Eyes. "I'm to work inside the Capitol, to bring them down." Elissa rambles. "Need Proof? The rebellion headquaters is District 13. It is nicknamed Misson Mockingjay by the Mockingjay her self, Katniss Everdeen."

I ask her how long shes been there, at District 13. She immedintly responds. "I've been apart of District 13 since I won the games." I look. "I should get back to Katniss." I say. She just smiles as I walk out. Thoughts rush through my head when I move out of the room. Why did Elissa join District 13 once she won? Was it out of pure hatred of the Capitol?

I get back to the Hotel Room and look at Hugo. He has a small bag and a drunken look. "Hey man. Wanna d-d-drink?" He asks. No, I think. He's 18 and can drink. I'm 16 and can't drink. "No." I say plainly. I walk to my room, where Katniss sits on my bed, a bag in her hands. "This is the bag of stuff I'll give you for the games." She stares at it. One by one I pull the items out. The bag includes:
Berries
Knifes
Extra Clothes
A Flashlight
Sunglasses
Rope
Walkie Talkie for me and an allie
And Matches

I look at her. "Will I survive?" I ask. "I hope so." She responds.

Author Note:

Hey guys. So for this Book, it will skip ahead 4 days to the morning of the games. It will start with the tributes getting on the helicopter to the Arena.
