We all know that Annie Cresta is the victor who went crazy inside the arena, and is the person that Finnick Odair loves the most. What is her story though? Who was she before the madness had consumed her?

Under the public eye, she was perceived as the weakling. Behind the closed doors of the training room, she was hostile and indifferent. It's time for the underdog's story. Johanna Mason hadn't planned on coming out alive, and after getting into the arena, she was subjected to face her doubts, fears, and ultimately, her strong will to live. Welcome to the 71st Annual Hunger Games.

The Hunger Games are about to begin, and each district is apprehensively waiting for the next tributes in line to represent their own district. Serena Elodea, who is a Career from District 4, soon finds herself as the tribute for the fishing district. Her initial plan to come out formidable in the Games soon backfires on her, when unexpected events happen before even entering the arena. She will soon realize what self-destruction these Games bring, and what truly matters when death is in clear view.

What would have happened if Katniss didn't take Prim's spot in The Hunger Games? Would anything be any different? Would a new story unfold? This is my version. *WARNING: Things have been changed. Don't say I didn't warn you.*
