Every one know the story of how my older sister, Katniss Everdeen, the girl on fire, and her fellow tribute, Peeta Mellark, won The Hunger Games. This is my story, when I, Primrose Everdeen, was picked to compete in the 76th Hunger Games.

I was reaped once, for the 74th annual Hunger Game. I was 12, my first year being entered. My sister promised me nothing would go wrong, even gave me a mockingjay pin to protect me. We both went to the reaping, and my name was pulled.
Let me just say, the odds were not in my favor.
Katniss volunteered. I screamed and begged her not to go, but she did, for me. She protected me. Like the mockingjay pin, she was my mockingjay.
It;s been five years since then, I’m 17 now. I’ve learned how to throw knives, hunt and climb trees, in fear of being reaped.
Sure enough, the day of reaping comes around and I’m reaped. My best friend, Rory Hawthorne, volunteers for his younger brother.
My Best Friend. Me. Fighting. To. The. Death.
I can’t. I can’t hurt him.
Why?
Because I love him.

COMPLETE: My name is Azalea Everdeen, the daughter of Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark. Plutarch Heavensbee decided to become president, and re-started the Hunger Games, forcing the capitol and district 13 to join in. He selected me at the reaping, along with my older brother Aster. My best friend, Corvus, volunteered in his place. Here is how I became the Phoenix, rising out of he Mockingjay's ashes.
This is book one in what I think will be just a duet. There is a sequel titled 'Azalea: The Phoenix" and it will continue off of this one (which is probably obvious...)
