The Hunger Games idea is not mine but the plot and story is so back off and don't steal. <3

Prologue

I ran a hot bath for myself. Today is The Reaping and I am nervous for my daughter, since it's her first year, I dressed in the fine clothes that everyone, if there was anyone else, in the Victor's Village has. A tight fitting purple dress. The kids I've trained since get too scared too easily

I won the Hunger Games 12 years ago when I 17. Everybody still talks about the last tribute I killed.

"Ready to die, Kiara?" The last Career boy, from District 1, Caldo, asked me as he held the knife to my neck.

We were both Careers, I was one of the first from District 12 to ever team up with them. Our mentors said we should pretend to be in love and it turned real, for a bit. We had a pretty messed up relationship.

I quickly looked behind him. We were the only ones left in the competition. Six bodies laid lifeless in pools of their own blood. I took out 3 from the 6 but in total, I took 14 lives. And I was about to take one more.

"You said you loved me though" I pouted with puppy dog eyes

He nodded "But we both know, only one makes it out alive." He said smiling as he slide the knife on my cheek, making a clean but small cut.

I nodded and pretended to wince in pain so he thinks I'm weak.

"Well, could I have one last kiss?" I begged as I ran my hand down his chest in a seductive motion

He smirked "I knew you would want this for me. Now come here" He said as he leaned in with his eyes closed and the knife now by his side

I traveled my hand up from his chest and wrapped it around his neck. And with the other, I made a swift flick with my fingers and sent his knife flying into his throat.

He fell to the ground and started gasping for air until his body went still. The bomb went off in a matter of minutes

"Ladies and gentlemen! Introducing this year's 67th Hunger Games victor, Kiara Thomas!" The speaker shouted

How I won? I traveled with the five other Career tributes and killed them in their sleep.

I killed the person who was on watch and after I finished them, I would go back to sleep and say it must be a swift tribute who is following us. There was one night when that was the case though.

~*~

"Poppy, you take watch" I said as we laid down. I, of course, shared a blanket, from one of the packs we got in the Cornucopia, with Caldo. I laid my head on his chest and went to sleep. He is a really heavy sleeper. I could have killed him any time if I wanted to but our relationship earned us a lot of sponsors, and after all, the people love a good show.

I pretended to sleep until everyone was snoring softly. I checked my pocket, good, I remembered my knife

I slipped out of his grip on me and sat beside Poppy on the log.

"Hey" She sighed with a hint of a friendly smile

" What are you thinking about?" I asked

"What the ending is gonna be like." She said with a sad smile

I nodded slowly. I was gonna miss her. She was nice.

I started to reached for my knife when someone beat me to it. Poppy dropped into the dirt with a spear sticking out of her back. I looked up and saw the boy from my district, Walter. He wasn't in our pack and I never knew he could be such a swift killer. I flicked the knife at him swiftly, hitting his heart with no problem. I always had amazing aim. He dropped to the floor and I heard two cannons go off.

~*~

You never forget the looks, the things they beg you for, and the screams they give off. It still haunts me that I killed fifteen people. I'll never forget the pleading eyes, or the still bodies scattered everywhere. You just can't forget. Trust me, I've tried.

When I came back, I got married to my long time boyfriend, Kai. I've known him since we were little kids.

"Mom.." My daughter, Violet, whispered to notify me that she was done with her bath

"Morning sweetie" I said bending down and stroking her soft brown curls.

"I have a dress for you" I smiled and led her to mine and Kai's room

I pulled out a soft pink dress with subtle beading along the neckline.

"Thanks Mom" She said before stepping into it

"Come, let me do your hair" I smiled

I pulled out the curling wand my old stylist, Harold, gave me.

I touched up her slightly messy curls and did the same to mine.

I adjusted each curl until she looked perfect.

"They won't pick you, okay?" I told her

She nodded

"Mom, I'm not scared" She said smiling

She has the came confidence I have.

"I know, because there's no reason to be." I said before tucking her hair behind one ear.

I slipped on some black heels I got from the Capitol. I made Violet wear little boots, like most people in our district.

We stepped out with Kai behind us and waited for the Reaping to begin

"Hello, hello ladies and gentlemen!" Klinovia Rodchid (Kli-No-Via) said as she stepped out.

I never got the Capitol people's fashion but this year Klinovia had neon green, straight hair that reached the end of her bottom with pale blue skin. Her eyes were a bright green and her nose looked extra pointy. Her eyelashes stuck out about 6 inches and were multicoloured. Her stick figure body was being squashed by a tight corseted dress. Her pink dress was a extreme ball gown. Super tight on the top and extra puffy on the bottom.

She looked different every year. Last year she had pink curly hair and white skin

After a whole depressing movie and speech about why the Hunger Games are, she said "Ladies first!"

She reached in and I took a deep breath. Please don't be Violet. I repeated in my head

She smiled "Our tribute is.. Carlota Franks!" She shouted in the michrophone and I took a deep breath

I looked and saw the girl, Carlota, who is about 18, handing a 3 year old girl to a older women, perhaps her mother, and walking onto the stage as tears streamed down her cheek.

"Mommy! NOO!" The little girl shouted and cried

I guess she's Carlota's daughter

"Any volunteers?" Klinovia asked

I rolled my eyes. There's no point in asking, we never have a volunteer.

"I volunteer! I volunteer as a tribute!" I heard a little girl shout

I turned around and saw Violet hopping out of the crowd and waving her hands

"Looks like we have a volunteer!" Klinovia said smiling

"Violet! What are you doing!" I shouted but then two peacekeepers grabbed me off my feet and pushed me aside as they shoved Violet up there onto the stage

Carlota thanked Violet before stepping down and hugging her daughter tightly

I might never be able to do that again

I blanked out through the whole Reaping after that.

The boy standing next to my daughter is her age, but he is very skilled with a knife. I've seen him kill birds that land on the streets with one flick.

I don't want to say this, but I don't think they can win.

~*~

"You have a few minutes" The Peacekeeper mumbled as he shoved me in the room

Kai and I were taking seperate turns so we could have our own time with Violet.

"What were you thinking!" I shouted

"Mom. I couldn't let that little girl watch her mom get slattered on TV" She said

She always had a kind heart

"Well, how do you think I feel! I'll have to watch my baby get killed! And I'm going to be the one training you!" I yelled

"You won once, you can help me do it" She said

"I just don't want to see you get hurt" I whispered pulling her into a tight hug

"I'll see you soon mom" She kissed me before I got dragged out of the room

I couldn't sleep that night, knowing I would be training my daughter to kill in a few days.
