Johanna Mason is a seventeen year old girl who is reaped for her District on the 68th annual Hunger Games. She is forced to go to the arena, which she fights to the death in. From District 7- lumber- and her special weapon is throwing axes. Competing for her own life in the harsh pine forest, Johanna is fighting with the last breath in her body, determined to make it back home, but to whom?

When our eyes met, the memories all came rushing back. From throwing her the bread to saying goodbye at the Lightening Tree to the red plaid dress on the first day of Kindergarten. I remembered it all so much clearer, the shiny memories seemed to fade to so much dimmer terrors. But she's nearly dead. How can I convince her to go on, that life is still worth living. How can I reignite the fire that burns in the eyes of Katniss Everdeen, the girl who was on fire, without getting burned in the process. (My second After Mockingjay story. I just want to make one a little more true to the books. This is not discontinuing Help Me Make It Through The Night and Here I Go Again. I just want to write a different view of what could have happened.)

I wrote this when I was very young so... Do with that information what you will.
