Post-Mockingjay: The Capitol's Hunger Games
i made this a while ago when i was bored, as you can see. i don't update it much anymore but im editing what i already wrote in a word doc in my spare time, maybe i'll post it on a fanfic website (even though it's a bit cliche :P )
maybe i'll write another chapter eventually.
maybe.
after i change the last one because it's depressingly rushed, from what i remember.
It's all over. My world will end. Not even my Grandfather can help me now.
It was all over the news. It has been for days. The rebels have taken charge, and the war has ended. I thought certainly, since the Capitol overpowered the rebels in the Dark Days that they could do it again, but that was not the case.
Just a few days ago, many Capitol children were killed - not by the rebels, but by the Capitol. The Capitol! I can't understand why, all I know is that my big sister was killed in the bombing, and then just yesterday my Grandfather was sentenced to death, and Katniss Everdeen was going to perform the execution. I mean really! But then, instead of shooting my Grandfather, she shot our new leader, President Coin. It was actually kind of amusing, exept for what followed. See, President Coin fell to the ground and all was quiet. Then, my Grandfather burst out laughing! That would have been hilarious, except he was coughing out blood. I was horrified, and not even my sister could comfort me. After everything had calmed down, my Grandfather was found dead.
Then, as if things couldn't get any worse, the remaining victors voted on whether or not there should be another Hunger Games for the children of the Capitol.And Katniss voted yes for the Capitol Hunger Games, and that just tipped the scale, and that's why I'm here today. Roped up in this stupid pen. Waiting for the names to be called.
School has stopped for the time being, so that all the children can watch the Hunger Games all day long, so my two nine-year-old twin brothers are standing with our parents close to the stage. Since the Capitol bombing drastically decreased the number of children in our fair city, they've lowered the age limit to ten years of age. My brothers are just under the limit - they turn ten in three weeks - so nearly all of their school friends are in the running. They must be devestated. But then again, all my friends are here with me, too. I'm just thirteen, so I'm, you know... pretty scared.
Coupled with this, the children have in no way been prepared for this, seeing as Capitol children were never supposed to be in the Hunger Games. I'm no exeption, and the most dangerous thing I've ever handled is a butter knife, because I'm deadly afraid of everything sharp and/or pointy.
Not only am I young and untrained, but my Grandfather was probably the most hated person all across the Districts, so I'm bound to get chosen. Even that idiot Johanna Mason reminded the authorities that President Snow has grandchildren.
I don't have much more time to think about anything, because Effie Trinket is stepping up to the podium and I'm holding hands with my friends, who are squeezing their eyes shut. One of them is so afraid that she is hiding her face in my auburn hair. But it's no use. Nothing can hide her fear.
No time for anything else now. Effie reaches her hand inside the glass ball with the ballots for girls and grabs a handfull of them.

Awesome! Love The Hunger Games and your version is good. Nice job:)
thank you :)
HEY ASH!! Guess who?!?!? Hint:I love tickling you in science class! I made a quibblo account just for you!! It's so good!! You should keep going on it, but make sure it's not the Hunger Games all over again!! Keep going!
ahaha omg i cant believe u got an account :) :) :) i'm overfllowing with joy for you
im sorry if that last part sounded sarcastic
well.. also guess who this is...P.S. its green....Oh and hi kathy and mia
haha... green...
hi Ashley :) don't worry it's not some creepy stalker it's MiA :P nice story :) keep on writing, it's really good :D anyway I'm getting tired - yawn... c u @ school tomorrow :)
omg you got an account too?! hehe... nice username :D
lets get other people to join!!!! and Kathy + Mia, when did u get accounts? I felt like doing it today, and then I saw that u had made accounts 2. anyways.... c u @ house island day!!!! :?)
P.S. u've probably guessed who I am...but maybe not...I'll not tell anyways...
P.P.S. mia where'd u come up with that name?
P.P.P.S. I'm not a stalker either, just to confirm
P.P.P.P.S. just to prove that, Dave is a cow, and Jeffery is a tummy [how would i know that if i was a stalker] {actually i might, but i'm getting off topic}
loll jeffrey is a tummy :) p.s. i love ur username :D :D :D i think i know who u r...... that sounds creepy... especially if you whisper it like the t-rex...
happy birthday dromeinicerus (or whatever that dinosaur is)...
I dont think u spelled it right...anyways, i don't care really its too complex. 'imagine if i was a woman [...] its a good thing a keep my fantasies to myself!' he!he!he! c u @ ali's party!
I just realized how funny this would like if somebody else read it. All those inside jokes....
lol yes... they'd think we were a bunch of lunatics...
P.S. u should kill off Melanie with a disease, that would be tear jerking! Or, make leo kill Melanie! yah! that would b terrible and bad beans-ish!
noo waay is melanie dying... a) that'd be too depressing and b) that'd be too much like when rue dies in the hunger games... which was also depressing
Oh really, well peeta didn't kill rue. ....so it would be kinda different....:?{)-
and some one pro needs to die! ............... whispering : maybe SHE could die instead...but she has to kiss Leo or Sam before she dies! or else we'd have nothing to look forward to apart from utter happiness and derranged teenagers
Don't worry, someone pro will die. VERY SOON HOPEFULLY!!
Hmm? And I don't know if you've noticed, but Autumn is kind of who the story is centred around - you know, and the fact that it's from her point of view - so if she dies, the story kind of ends... And that means no more chapters for you, katty!!!
did i sound creepy?! wait a sec! don't let that take away from wat i just said! i meant it!
I'm a bit confused. I'm guessing that 'imatummy' sits behind me in science? it's so funny how many comments this story has now. BTW 10 updates NEEDED! I wanted to change my Quibblo name to 'go clean your room'!!!
Yes, I believe she sits beside me in Geo, too -- well, before we started working on our summatives and the seating plan changed into the U-shaped thing.
Katty, the story will most likely be DONE in 10 updates. Just to let you know.
well, both of u r right about my location in those 2 classes...so u probs know who i am.....I have been restricted from reading/using the computer till past 3:00!!!!! Just 'cause I read alot! How will i survive?
P.S. c u tomorrow!
