Chapter 1

Melissa’s P.O.V

 

I was in a peaceful meadow with my sisters, Amy and Tina. It was just like the meadow in the arena of the year Haymitch won the Hunger Games. Except we weren’t in the Games. I could see our home not too far away. I was a bit surprised to be here; District 12 doesn’t have any meadows….Not unless you go past the gate surrounding it. I didn’t care at the moment-- It was peaceful. Suddenly my dream turned into a nightmare, as a helicopter flew down with Peacekeepers jumping out….

 

“Melissa? Melissa!” Someone was shaking me awake. My eyes snap open and I see my sister, Amy, staring at me with concerned eyes.

“H...Huh?...Amy?...” She nodded.

“Yeah. It’s me. Are you ok?”

 

“Yeah. I’m fine. Just had another nightmare about the Games….And Peacekeepers.” I shuddered. I closed my eyes, thinking about the reapings tomorrow afternoon. I had to do what I could to protect Amy and Tina. Nothing is going to force them into the Games. Nothing. I felt a pair of arms wrap around me, and I opened my eyes and saw Amy hugging me.

 

“Don’t worry sis. We’ll be fine.” I nodded.

 

“Wanna go out to the woods?” I asked. Going past the gate in District 12 was against the law, and if anyone got caught they were brought to the center of town and beat to death, or almost if you were lucky. But we did it anyway….We live in the outskirts of town, very close to the gate, so nobody really ever sees us. We make a living selling whatever we hunt/gather.

 

“Okay...Let me just get my boots!” She said and almost flew downstairs. I laughed a bit, despite the situation. She reminded me of a bird, in a way. Always cheerful, always makes everyone feel better. I smiled, thinking about it. “Hurry up Melissa! Also Tina’s going with us!” She yelled.

 

“Okay!” I yelled back and smiled. Tina was our youngest sister. I slipped on my hunting boots and went downstairs, where I saw Tina and Amy already ready. Tina smiled.

 

“Ready to go?” She asked, one hand on her hip. I smiled back.

 

“Hell yeah! You know I love the woods, girl.” She giggled.

 

“Yeah. Let’s goooo!” Amy and I laughed then all three of us went outside. It was still pretty dark outside, perfect for rebels trying to illegally go to the woods. I checked to see if the gate was on, and like always, it was off. One by one we crawled through the hole in the gate, me going in last. I quickly look around to make sure nobody saw us. Then Tina, Amy and I started walking to the little house in the woods, long forgotten. That is where we store our weapons for hunting. I have a silver bow and arrow, Tina has knives. Amy, who can’t stand the thought of killing an animal, usually cooks them. I set down my game bag and pulled out my arrows, while Tina got her knives.

 

“Are you sure you’re not going hunting with us, Amy?” She shook her head.

 

“No, you know I don’t enjoy hunting. I’ll stay here and get a fire started.”

 

“Alright. We’ll be back soon Amy,” I promised as I do everytime. Tina smiled and nodded.

 

“Let’s go!” She said and walked out pulling me by my sleeve. I went out of the little house, then me and Tina spread out a bit to get good hunting range.  It was silent for a while until I saw a buck. I sent my arrow flying, and it pierced the buck’s eye. The buck fell to the ground.

“That’ll feed us for a week.” Tina said in awe. I smiled and said,

 

“Yeah. Come on, let’s get it back to the house.” She nodded and helped me pick it up. We started walking back to our cottage and as it came into view we freezed. There was a helicopter in the air. A helicopter from The Capitol.

 

“Hide!” I hissed and we dropped the deer and dove right into the bushes. We watched in shock as two Peacekeepers from the Capitol was lowered down by a ladder. Two Avoxes followed them.

“Hey!” One of the Peacekeepers said. “Someone’s been hunting out here.” My eyes were wide open with fear. Everyone knew what happened if you were caught hunting. A beating in the center of our district, depending on what you killed.

“Let’s see.” I thought in a panic. “If you get caught with a turkey, that’s 40 lashes. A buck is about three times bigger…” I quickly did the math in my head. 120 lashes. Me and Tina watched as one of the Avoxes pulled out the arrow from the buck’s eye and passed it to one of the Peacekeepers. He held the bloody arrow in disgust.

“Doesn’t District 12 ever keep that damn gate on?! These rebels are the very reason for the Hunger Games starting!” The other one grunted in agreement. The peacekeeper tossed the arrow aside. “Come on, let’s visit the main Peacekeeper of District 12. We should probably tell him he has rebels to deal with.”

“Are you sure? With the reapings tomorrow, I’m sure they’ll get picked.” He said smugly.  I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Were the reapings rigged? Everyone knew they were rigged the year Katniss and Peeta went into the Quarter Quell. I’m actually good friends with Katniss. I always visit her and Peeta in District 11. They had a young daugher now, Willow. She was the cutest little thing.  I hoped for Katniss’s sake that Willow would never be reaped. They’ve been through enough, the star-crossed lovers from District 12.
