WE ARE ALL BORN TO DIE; "I don't know how to act in front of these people. Am I supposed to act like I actually condone what they do to us in that Arena?! You can't expect me to just stand idly by like dog in a Capitol talent show; parading us around like meat until they slaughter us in a battle to the death." "Then why did you volunteer? You knew what they do to people in this competition- you've been watching it on your television screen for seventeen years- something inside of you must have wanted to come here, or else you would have let that little friend of yours become a tribute." "Unlike citizens here, I take care of my family- and that doesn't have to be my blood. Annie's been there my entire life. I'm not lying when I say 'I'd die for her'. Or that I'd kill every last person in that Arena or in the entire span of Panem to see that my family is safe. So don't mock me, Finnick Odair, that includes your pretty little head." "I've found your gimmick- you're deadly, in every sense of the word. You're a harbinger of death, but a beacon of hope for those closest to you because of the ruthless nature of your movements and strikes against an enemy. Just make it back out of that Arena to truly make 'the raven' soar higher." ________ Dahlia Woods- a victim of The Capitol, alike the past population of tributes collected for the televised death match held annually. Unexpected circumstances led to this strong-willed, not-so killable seventeen-year-old girl to volunteer for the 69th Annual Hunger Games- an eventuality she had never considered despite sourcing from a Career District that trained their young. Pitted against what seems like the entire world in one arena- Dahlia only trusts herself and her Mentor- the heartthrob of Panem. She, however, isn't amused or charmed by his flirtatious spouts- until she's left with only his support amongst the carnage. SOME JUST SEEM PREDISPOSED TO IMMORTALITY.
