What if every year four tributes were reaped from the districts? Would the story be the same? Lilly Everdeen, Katniss and Primroses' sister enters the mix! Follow her story as she tries to navigate the games.
Disclaimer: I do not own any character...
This is Lilly ^ Ok just for some clarification.... Katniss is 18 in this story, Lilly is 17 and Prim is still 12, Gale is 18 and Peeta is 18 also.
Lilly's POV. I smile as I wake up to the sight of Prim wrapped around mum. The other side of the bed behind me is cold so I know that Katniss has gone hunting! I hope she's safe, today is reaping day after all! Pulling myself out of bed, I make the breakfast and then get mum and Prim up. We eat together and then mum goes to get the water for the baths. "Lilly, what's the reaping like?" Prim asks me, her voice laced with fear. "It's ok sweetheart, you were there last year in the crowd, remember? We just have to go a little earlier than mom so we can sign in, that's all!" I say hoping to make her feel better but I can tell it doesn't totally work. Prim is stroking a Buttercup and as much as we hate that cat, it's a comfort to her. Mum calls Prim in for her bath while I clean up after breakfast. Once I finish I make my way to the bedroom where mum is plaiting Prim's hair. I can see the change in her. Katniss has never fully trusted mum after the way she shut down when dad died. I have forgiven her but I'm still watchful! It gets worse on reaping day, but there are moments, like just now, when Prim pulls her out of it! Prim's hair was done and she was dressed, she turned and hugged mum and it was almost like a weight was pulled off mum's shoulders. I go then and get into the bath, scrubbing every single part of me. When I get out mum turns to me and says; "I laid something out for you and Katniss Lilly, you're in the pink dress, blue for Katniss". "Thank you mum," I say as I lean over to kiss her cheek. She seems shocked and I just turn to walk into the bedroom. On Katniss's and my bed there were two dresses, both knee length but different colours and styles. Mum told me I was wearing the pink one so I put it on and then call her to help me do up the back.

There is a line of buttons up the back that are much too small for me to close by myself, but mum has them done up on no time. I stand in the mirror and watch as mum plaits my long blonde hair into an updo, the plait starts on the left side of my head and finishes on the right.

As mum works I can't help but notice, again, the similarities between her, Prim and myself. Katniss got all dad's looks and colouring while we got mum's. Blonde hair and blue eyes for Prim and I, Brown hair and grey eyes for Katniss.
