As I was clearing out the drawers of my grandfather's desk 10 years after he died I came across a book titled 'Capitol prisoners'. I opened it up to the last page where 6 people's names were listed with a brief description of their situation. I started from the bottom of the page and read this:

DARIUS - Avox. Attended to Katniss Everdeen before the 75th Annual Hunger

Games. Tortured for 17 days near previous victor Peeta Mellark as way

to disturb him. Killed at lab on the 18th day of torture.

LAVINIA - Avox. Attended to Katniss Everdeen before the 74th and 75th Annual

Hunger Games. Electrocuted to death in lab on 1st day of torture.

ANNIE CRESTA - Victor. Completely mad. Taken prisoner as a way to send a message to

past victor Finnick Odair. Rescued by soldiers of District 13.

JOHANNA MASON - Victor. Taken out of the 75th Annual Hunger Games arena. Tortured

by being electrocuted after being soaked in water. Rescued by soldiers

of District 13.

PEETA MELLARK - Victor. In love with Katniss Everdeen. Taken out of the 75th Annual

Hunger Games arena. Tortured as a way to break Katniss Everdeen.

Hijacked. Rescued by soldiers of District 13.

CINNA - Stylist of Katniss Everdeen in the 74th and 75th Annual Hunger

Games. Beaten bloody in front of Katniss Everdeen immediately

before she entered the 75th Annual Hunger Games arena. Shipped to

London, England. Left there forever.

I couldn't believe what I had just read. I closed the book, shoved it into my handbag and raced out the front door. I quickly climbed up the stairs of the hovercraft, got in and took my seat. As soon as I had fastened my seatbelt the pilot's voice came over the loudspeaker

"What is your destination?"

I quickly answered

"District 12"

The hovercraft lifted off the ground and then the pilot told me

"Alright, sit back, relax. We will be arriving in District 12 in approximately 2 hours, Miss Snow!"
