Ok, I know people have done this before, but still, this is a HUGE what-if? What if Katniss didn't volunteer. What will happen will change the course of history for Panem! Without further a due, let's jump right into it! Also, this is in Primrose's POV.

We have arrived.

We are at the reapings, and I'm scared out of my mind. This is my first ever reaping, but still! I am only 12, if I do get reaped, I will be butchered in seconds! I push the thought out my mind, with force.

I get my finger pricked with the needle thing. Ow!

Katniss, my sister, made my odds of getting reaped slim to none though. She made me take no tesserae. So, I only have one freaking slip of paper. I see Katniss and Gale go to the 16 and 18-year-old sections.

The chance to be reaped is highly unlikely… I won't be reaped, I WON'T be reaped.

That is what I think, as the weird looking escort, named Effie, puts her capitol hands into the girls bowl.

DO NOT BE ME PLEASE!

"PRIMROSE EVERDEEN!"

Crap. No. NO! It was my name! I am suddenly into a huge shock of panic. I look over to Katniss, and I know the story. She wants to volunteer! Please do not Katniss….

She thankfully does not. Oh no, she is trying! I see her trying to mouth it, but she is cut off by her own self in shock!

"No volunteers? OK then!"

Katniss starts to cry, upset that she failed to volunteer.

I am starting to have tears form as a guy Katniss told me about a year or two ago named Peeta, who saved our live with his bread, comes up to the stage. Effie asks if there are any volunteers, and Gale looks like he wants to. Is he trying to save me? He goes against it.

I start to cry. For a different reason than Katniss.

I am going to die.

Ok, I know it was short, but this is just the start. More plot comes after this, this is why it is just the start.

How far do you think Primrose can make it?

Now Panem's history course is going to change….
