The Capitol Games

Prologue~End of Mockingjay

It had been done. Katniss had cast her vote, Haymitch following with her choice. The Capitol children would have a Hunger Games to let them have a taste of their own medicine and Katniss would make sure they had the worst of it. Annie shook her head then stood up, furious. "How would Finnick feel about this!" She yelled. Beetee studied his fingers and frowned. Peeta looked like he was going to protest but shut his mouth when Katniss shot him a glare. President Coin nodded approvingly, "Alright, then its settled" she stood up and left the room and the broadcast ended.

I walked away from the small battered TV which was all they gave to prisoners of war. I squeezed my eyes shut hard as tears rolled down my face, I dropped to the ground, the metal chains clanking from the collision. I curled up into a ball and started shivering uncontrollably. If they were hosting a Capitol Game, the granddaughter of President Snow would definitely be in it. I shook at the thought of being in an arena being hunted like prey, I had never enjoyed watching the games and I knew just how dangerous it was. I opened my eyes and looked up at the sky praying and trying to ignore the flood of tears streaming down my face. It would be a matter of time before I went into the arena, I prayed it was far off in the future. I had never been so scared in my life.
