For Her

"why'd you volunteer?" He hums.
My eyes lock with his, "For her."

Thea had never planned on participating in the 70th Hunger Games. After all, it was her last reaping; and if her one and only name in the drawing had been selected she knew her sister, Nike, was dying to prove herself in the arena and would volunteer in her place. Unlike Thea, Nike felt she had to live up to the infamous name of their father, who had won the games at just 12.
What Thea didn't anticipate was the cruel abandonment of a girl who had no chance of surviving. Though she hated everything about the games and had planned on minding her own business, she volunteered for the girl. This not only shocked everyone who knew her, but caught the attention of her mentor, Finnick Odair.
