My name is Katniss Everdeen and i have just survived the Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is games that are so bloody and so brutal. These games are played every year here in the country of Panem which is now the future ruins of what was once known as North America. Every district has to recruit to tributes to the capitol to play the games. The tributes each have to be one boy and one girl for each district. In the games you have to kill everybody and survive yourself. In the games there can only be one victor. In my case it is not like that, in my case there is two survivers me and my partner Peeta Mellark from district 12 as well as me. We survived the games when i decided to defy the capitol by holding out some poisonoss berries and to commit suicid and make Peeta commit suicide too so there wont be any victors for the 74th annual Hunger Games. Then the capitol decided to spare both of our lives to live. Another reason why we survived is that before the games started we each were interviewed, all 24 of us and Peeta said he loved me in front of the whole country of Panem. The interviews and the games are mandatory to watch when they are being televised. Peeta and i survived by being the 2 star-crossed lovers.
Now I am here in the Victor's Village of my district where i have a house next to Peeta. I miss my home in the Seam where i was closer to the woods so i can go hunting with Gale even though it is extremely illegal . Here in the Victor's Village it is really clean and i live with my sister Prim and my mom with Peeta and Haymitch our mentor as neighbors. Haymitch our mentor is a real drunk, he is addicted to drinking alcohol.
Since we are the victors we are supposed to take the Victor's Tour. Effie Trinket comes in with her wierd hair. She is always changing her hair color and style sometimes i think she is crazy but she is not. "It is time to go" she says. Effie is always tryin to get everywhere on time. Effie thinks she can put everything on a schedule and she never has time to do anything other than what she is scheduled to do. Before we leave our prep teams have to come and get us ready to leave for the tour. Ive been letting my hair grow so i have been getting really hairy. Octavia ,Flavius and Cinna are always telling me to shave but i never listen. I feel comfortable letting my hair grow it makes me feel myself. Cinna, Octavia, and Flavius walk in and the first thing i hear is "Katniss you are so hairy" Octavia screams, Shut up i say in my mind but instead of saying that out loud I just blush and turn as red as an apple. When i am ready the prep team leaves except for Cinna who is gathering all of his materials to do my make up. I ask him if there are any rumors from the capitol and then he stays silent. He takes out a pin of a mockingjay and shows it to me so i can observe it.I can not believe my mockingjay bird pin is now fashion in the capitol.
We leave district 12 for the tour girst sop is 1, then 2,3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,11, then the capitol at last. When we get there i am tired becuse i have been traveling for 11 days and all i want to do is sleep and rest. Unfortunately i can not do that because the minute i get to the room she walks in and tells me we have to shower and get ready for a feast we are having with important people of the capitol and also we are going to meet the gamemakers and the new head gamemaker which is not Seneca Crane who was murdered for letting me an Peeta survive the Hunger Games. I am also excited to go to the feast though because im going to get to taste the good food and delicious desserts from here in the capitol.
It is time we go to the feast. When we arrive they greet us and then they shows to our table wich is the best since we are the guests of honors of this feast. After i eat im so full i can burst into a million pieces. Then a man who looks young comes up to me and asks me if i want to dance. I dont reject him instead i accept not thinking if Peeta would get jealous because i am dancing with him. In the middle of the song we are dancing to he tells me his name is Plutarch Heavensbee the head gamemaker for the Quarter Quell. Then he shows me his watch which is golden and must be worth a fortune and in the middle of the watch i can see a Mockingjay like the one from my pin and i realize something, that my pin must be a symbol for something. The feast is almost over and the clock strikes midnight 12 o clock then Plutarch has to leave and before he does he kisses my fore head and tells me "it starts at 12 midnight". After the feast at President Snow's mansion i go back to my hotel to sleep.
It is morning and we have to leave back to District 12 where a big gigantic would be thrown for us and for the people. There would be free food for everyone, games, and it will be so much fun. The big feast is dedicated to us. I start to wonder how fat i will get since i have been eating so much these days. After the feast is over i go back to my house in the Victor's Village.
Time has passed so far i have been living normal until today that President Snow came to my house to warn me that he didnt like it that defied him in the hunger games. Here in district 12 we have a new head peaceckeeper- Thread. Thread is very strict and he turned on the electric fence surrounding the woods so nobody would get in. Especially Gale and I. Me and Gale hunt in the woods even though it is illegal to, we already have been in trouble once and next time we get caught we were going to have serious consequenses. We havent been hunting lately though and i think Gale has and i think he got caught. I was walking around in the central square of district 12 i saw Gale getting whipped by Thread. I was crying since i dont love Peeta i love Gale and so i went in for him and i took a whip in the face but then Thread stopped, warned me and left. After that Darius, Peeta and some other miners went to take him to my mother's house where she cured him.I gave Gale kiss and cried.
I have decided to plan an uprising and I have also heard of rumored uprisings in district 8. Today in the middle of winter i decided to go hunting in the woods there i saw 2 girls dressed in peacekeeper clothes then i realized they were from 8. I talked to them and then they showed me a bread that had my mockingjay and they told me it was their symbol for rebellion and they had an attempt of an uprising but they were stopped, but now they are planning a big uprising. When i came back hame i was worried and excited but the electric fences were turned on so i got on a tall tree and jumped out of the woods and fractured my foot. I had to lie to my mother and then today when i got home i saw everybody was gathered around the TV for the Quarter Quell rules. The rules were that the previous victors only 2 from each didtrict would fight. I started to cry and broke a window because i know is going to be me and Peeta or maybe Haymitch again back in the games.The day of the reaping has come im going to the games and then Peeta volunteers to go with me. They dont let us say our goodbyes instead we leave without nobody knowing.
We arrive at the capitol where we would train. Haymitch is our mentor once ago his advice to us is to make friends.
We have made allies who are Wiress, Beetee, Johanna and Finnick. They are other tributes. On the day of our big televised interviews Peeta says im having a baby and that makes me wonder why he said that and that is to protect me but my goal is to protect him. Then when it is my turn i continue the lie and my beautiful dress transforms into the best dress ever with the shape of a burned mockingjay, then i talk about the wedding i was supposed to have with Peeta.
The next day we are shipped off to the arena to kill each other, but before i go out in the capsule that would take me into the arena i say probably my last words to Cinna. Im trapped in the capsule and i see Cinna getting beat until he is unconscious by two Peacekeepers, istart to cry and i feel like for revenge. In the starting battle of the games 8 day but none of our allies.
In the next few days only Wiress has died and it was very sad because i liked her and she was very helpful since she figured out the arena was Plutarch Heavensbee watch. Every hour there is a new hazard and we have discovered about half the hazards. Our most helpful one is the lightning bolt every 12 hours which strikes a tree. Beetee recieved a wire from a sponsor which he is using now to make the biggest trap. After we are done setting it up we wait for the lightning to strike but instead there is an attack and i am knocked out unconscious.
I wake up and i am with Gale and Finnick and Plutarch and they tell me that they have been planning a big uprising against the capitol. District 12 has been destroyed but my family is safe and now they have discovered that district 13 still exists and they are helping us. Last thing i hear from them is that Peeta is being held captive by the capitol and then i go back to sleep.
