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

Saylor Odair is twelve years old, and it's the Seventy-Third Annual Hunger Games. Due to her brother being a victor, she never needed to take tesserae, so she only had one slip in what should've been a mass of the hundreds of thousands of the names of District Four's teenage girls. Yet, somehow, that one slip made it into Castus Silver's pale, manicured hand. Now being thrown into a game in which she is the youngest tribute, with her brother as her mentor, Saylor has to use all her skills and strengths, and hopefully beat her brother's record as the youngest victor.
