A/N: This is a The Hunger Games fan fiction. You should have read the first two books before reading this since you might not be able to relate to this if you haven't. Nonetheless, just read if you wish to.
I have just seen the fan made video of the Second Quarter Quell (Haymitch's Games). Look, I know that THG is more than just of romance but I can't help but ship Haysilee so much. I'm just trying to see if this would work out. Please, please, give a feedback.
------------------------------------------------
War, terrible war. There it goes again. It almost sounded like a mantra to Haymitch. It was the day of the reaping for the 50th Hunger Games, the Second Quarter Quell.
Something special was always added during a Quarter Quell. This year's Quarter Quell, the rules said that an additional male and female tribute from each district will be chosen to compete, raising the number of tributes to 48. More tributes, more deaths.
"Haymitch Abernathy." He shuddered as he hears the sound of his name coming from the speakers, echoing through the entire place. I was chosen. I am the male tribute. He gathered all the courage he still had within him and stood as straight as he could, walked to the stage with the Peacemakers in his both sides and ironically, he smiled.
He saw Maysilee, the blonde haired girl he loved, in the crowd. She stared at him wide-eyed. She was shaking her head, catiously holding back her tears and almost wishing she can run to him. He nodded in her direction, reassuring her that he'll be fine, that he'll try to win for her.
"Next, one more tribute." Nadia's fingers entered the bowl containing the names. She moved it, menacingly touching the papers. At last, she picked up one rolled paper and unfurled it.
Nearing herself to the microphone, she announced the last tribute in a thick Capitol accent, "We'll have Maysilee Donner."
It was Haymitch's turn to be surprised. Hard as he could, he tried to keep his face firm and expressionless. Both of them being in the games only meant one thing, one of them has to die. And letting Maysilee die was the last thing he wanted to happen. He needed to protect her, even though it would mean killing himself to save her.
Peeta and Katniss weren't the first star-crossed lovers from district 12 that entered the games. Haymitch and Maysilee were.
End.
Nadia wasn't in the book. I made her.
