the daughter on fire (hunger games fan fiction)

the beginning

I DON'T OWN ANYTHING! EVERYTHING GOES TO THE AMAZING SUSAN COLLINS I woke up that morning to my brother Gale hyperventilating I turned over quickly and woke him.

"GALE!,GALE WAKE UP YOUR HAVING A BAD DREAM!"

Gale woke up screaming he looked at me with fearful eyes I then realized what he was dreaming about. I forgot today was the day of the reaping.

"it was me." he said shaking "we were going up into the arena right when we got up there though the cannon already shot to go when i came up everyone was waiting on me armed and pointing at me."

"don't worry everything will be ok" I said hugging him. Gale is my 14 year old brother he was named after my mom's best friend Gale Hawthorne my name is whisper I am 16 years old and the daughter of Katniss and Peatta malark I also have a little sister named Rue she is 15 she was named after a girl my mom was in an alliance with in the games. Rue came in rubbing her tired eyes.

"what's going on" she asked sleeply " I heard a scream"

"it's fine" I replied Gale just had a bad dream"

and with that she shuffled off back to bed. after that we got up and went down stairs to see dad baking and mom sharpening her arrows. I sat down in the chair beside her and she looked up "hey honey how did you sleep?. I heard screaming" she asked

"oh I slept fine Gale just had a bad dream is all." I replied with that mom looked at Gale who was starring down in embarrassment.

"Gale do you wanna talk about the dream you had?" mom asked

"no thank you."Gale said quietly with that mom went back to sharpening her arrows. dad then brought out some bread and jam along with some juice. dad then looked around

"where's rue?" he said

"still in bed" I replied with a big piece of bread in my mouth

"RUE GET DOWN HERE ITS TIME FOR BREAKFAST!"dad yelled five minutes after dad yelled down came a sleepy rue walking slowly down the stair she sat down and got a small piece of bread and spread some BlackBerry jam onto it. now I know what you are thinking we live in a victors house and we are rich but we still like to do things on our own. we then heard a knock on the door and it slowly opened

"can I come in Catnip?" said a familiar voice

"GALE!" mom screamed and almost tackled him giving him a hug. he smiled at me,Gale,and rue and we all smiled back and ran and gave him a big hug. he then sat down and took a small chunk of bread and started putting some jam on it.

"so how have you guys been?" he asked before taking a bite of bread. all of us were quiet before mom spoke up

"today is reaping day" she said with a grim look on her face

Gale Hawthornes face went from a smile to a natural face. he looked at each of us" how many times are your names in the bowl?"

"two"rue replied

"nine" replied Gale

"twenty" I said everyone gasped. dad almost choked on his bread,mom looked at me.

"are you crazy? I don't want you to go out there and get killed!" she said

I sighed "I know but we need more help from the government our fund has become low you guys have not been in the games for years apon years i wanted to get our wealth back so we don't starve."

"we don't need all that money" mom said "we know how to live on our own your father and I did when we were kids I hunted like I still do today and your father still bakes like he did." everyone was silent until dad spoke up

"well it's time for you kids to get ready" with that Gale Hawthorne left and we all took baths and mom was braiding my hair like her mom braided hers for the reaping. she smiled

"beautiful." we then heard the whistle saying it was time to go to the square we all hugged mom and dad just in case it was the last time and we all went out the door hand in hand mom and dad behind us fingers entwined the peacekeeper motioned for me to let her see my finger I felt a slight sting and heard her say "go head". I then walked to the group of girls for the ages between 15-18 I stood by rue and held her hand she looked nervous. the was a moment of silence then a woman in a brought green dress and yellow wig and lipstick came and tapped the Mic it was Effie

"welcome" she said with a grin on her face "to the 150th annual hunger games" effie said some other stuff but i zoned out then I heard her say

" as always ladies first she walked over to a glass bowl and still her hand and mixed the pieces of paper around. I thought to my self my name is in there twenty times. she then took one and walked over to the microphone with her heels clicking as she walked she opened it and said into the microphone

"whisper mellark" all the girls looked at me and I slowly walked up and stood there stunned I looked at mom's face of horror

"now for the... effie started then interrupted by my mom's screaming

"NO YOU CAN'T DO THIS SHE IS MY DAUGHTER NOOOO!" she started to run up to the stage then 5 peacekeepers had to pull her back and took her home you could hear her screams getting dimmer and dimmer. I looked at dad and tears started streaming down his face.

"well then" effie said before reaching her hand into the bowl she walked over to the microphone and opened up the paper Christopher Nolan I saw him walking up with tears streaming down his face he walked up and stood there crying.

"ladies and gentlemen your 150th hunger games tributes she started to clap but everyone else put three fingers to their lips and raised them high we then shook hands and were on the train to the capital. THAT'S THE FIRST PART LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT ME TO CONTINUE!
