Thirteen-year-old Desiree Draven never thought she'd be chosen for the Hunger Games. She was too young, too small, too unprepared. But when her name is called at the reaping for the 72nd Hunger Games, her world shatters. Leaving behind her grieving mother, her protective older brother, and the boy she loves, Desiree is thrust into a world of glittering deception and brutal survival. Under the guidance of her mentor, Finnick Odair, she must transform from a quiet fishergirl into a competitor worthy of the Capitol's attention, and the Gamemakers' mercy. But Desiree isn't alone. There's Koen Billingsley, her cold and formidable fellow tribute from District 4. With danger lurking behind every alliance and the odds stacked against her, Desiree will have to fight for more than just survival, she'll have to fight to prove she's not just another forgotten tribute. She promised Caspian she'd come home. But in a game where only one can survive, promises are impossible to keep....

༄˖°.ೃ࿔*:･ "You look exactly like her." - "Is it in a way that I hope it does? 𝐇𝐀𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 you?" ━ Owls represent wisdom, knowledge, and the mystical, while snakes symbolize danger, rebirth, and cunning. Often, owls and snakes are depicted in opposition, the owl's sharp intelligence countering the snake's deceptive, slithery nature. However, they are also intertwined in symbolic ways, representing the eternal conflict between wisdom and temptation, survival and cunning, or even predator and prey. 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐮𝐬.

Mice were common creatures inside the homes of District Nine. A constant reminder of their failure during the rebellion. Originally released by their oppressors as a form of biological weapons, it wasn't uncommon to see their descendant's scurrying the dirt streets. When the Capitol learned of them being easily slayed during the war, they modified the failed jabberjays to attack anyone who harmed the disease carriers. A trait that the Mockingjay sadly kept. To this day the people of Nine can't go near a mouse without the birds attacking. As after all... what was a Mockingjay without a Mouse by their side? ༻❁༺ pre hunger games, to mockingjay part two

Aurora knows how her story will end. As did her many doctors at Seattle Grace. Short. Her life was destined to be short. Though unlike many others she never let that bother her. Even with the knowledge of not living past twenty she was determined to still have the best life she could possibly have. She was determined for her existence to be sweet. So if that meant sitting back with her juice box and watching the surgical interns cut LVADS and stick their hands in bombs, that's what she was going to do. Because even if life was short she was determined for it to be sweet. Short n' Sweet. ༻❁༺ Seasons three to nine. Short n' Sweet.

She's a Siren. If you hear her voice, run. Don't look back. 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 Carolina Seymour has always hated Finnick Odair, and clearly, the feeling is mutual. But when she gets reaped for the 68th Hunger Games, and Finnick is assigned to be her mentor, she has to put all of her past feelings about him aside and learn how to trust him. If she didn't, she'd be as good as dead. What she didn't account for was actually learning to like the boy, let alone falling in love with him. 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 Warning: contains topics of violence, death, and trauma Written by: @dahliaswishes Edited by: @moldyvoldy14 Pre Hunger Games - Mockingjay Part II
