"Lucy Gray!"

His voice echoed through the forest along with the singing of the mockingjays which picked up her song. Catching her breath, Lucy Gray did her best to calm herself. Not that he'll find her anyway, this hiding spot has been proven and tested to hide her until she decides to go down from these trees. She watched Coriolanus lose his mind trying to look for her.

Clutching the scarf he gave her, the smell of roses strong as ever, she was having a hard time deciding what should be her next move. The scarf all but reminded her of the boy she trusted. The boy she loved. But their conversation moments ago made her question if she could still say the same. If she could still say she trusted him the same way she did in the arena.

How funny is it really. It seemed as though she got out of the arena just to find herself in a bigger one. Only this time, she was weighing if she could still trust the only person she counted on in terms of protecting her life.

----

Had things ended differently. Had they made another choice. How much would their fate change? Would their ballad still end as cold and lost as they were?

Book One of the Timber Series. In the rugged woodlands of District 7, fate dramatically alters the lives of Hazel Marlowe and her younger brother when they are both selected during the reaping for the 15th Annual Hunger Games. The historic selection of siblings in the same games, quickly captivates the Capitol, drawing a morbid fascination from its citizens. Senator Coriolanus Snow, ambitious apprentice Gamemaker under the notorious Dr. Gaul, has his eyes set on the presidency. Determined to make this year's Games unforgettable, he sees a unique opportunity in Hazel's tragic story. As Hazel fights to protect her brother, she must also contend with Snow's mysterious behavior. It isn't long before she realizes that the Hunger Games isn't the only game being played. ~ The intensity of his scrutiny felt like a physical weight, pressing against her with an almost suffocating force. Then his piercing stare softened into a smile, one so well-crafted and timed it seemed nothing less than a rehearsed performance. She was walking a fine line by challenging a man who held her and her brother's fate in his elegantly gloved palms. With long strides, he closed the distance between them. His gloved hand took hers. The softness of his touch clashed violently with the dread coiling in her stomach. He leaned closer, the warmth of his breath against her ear contradicted the chill his presence invoked as he whispered, "Be careful, Miss Marlowe." ⚠️ This is a Hunger Games fanfiction after all, so it will definitely have moments of violence, death and possibly self harm. **This is a fan-created work inspired by Suzanne Collins' "The Hunger Games" series. All original characters and overarching story elements belong to their respective copyright holders. This fanfiction is a homage to the original works.

[ Updates every Wednesday & Saturday ] The blood has barely dried, the arena barely locked. It's only been a few days since the Twentieth Hunger Games declared its victor but preparations for the twenty-first are already underway. Not only is Coriolanus Snow is in charge⎯officially in charge⎯he is all anyone in the Capitol can talk about. Heir to a giant munitions empire, one of Panem's brightest, up and coming talents, slated to become the youngest Lieutenant General in the history of the national military, he is the most eligible bachelor in town. Everyone wants a piece of him, and it's not just the ladies. Coriolanus basks in every minute of it. He is having the time of his life. Until one night, he seems to have seen a ghost. A ghost of his past⎯the ghost of his past. With her dark hair wound atop her head, a wreath of flowers decorating the braids, an orange scarf knotted artfully around her neck, and her rainbow of a dress... It can't be, Coriolanus tells himself as he watches her waltz through his dining room full of guests. It has been ten years since he'd seen her, ten years since that fateful day by the lake and in the forest, ten years since she'd sung and he'd fired his gun, and it simply cannot be... Snow lands on top...doesn't it? *** Lilith Gold is a senior at the University, where a highly-coveted Gamemaker apprenticeship is up for grabs. It is her best friend's dream; her best friend who is the strongest contender, who is unequivocally and unreservedly deserving of it. When the award does not go as the entire world expects, Lilith is forced into uncharted terrority where her values come into conflict. As she struggles to balance friendship and duty, to navigate this alien terrain, she must remember to tread carefully, lest she falls...in love.
