Prologue: The Beautiful People

Once upon a time, a man named Cinna set two tributes on fire. They were dazzling, her with her actions, him with his words. Together, they set a nation on fire. In retaliation, President Snow, with his white-knuckled grip on the throats of Panem, injected a person and made a lie come true. Katniss Everdeen, the girl on fire, was going to have twins. Whether she wanted to or not.

Now, here is where the story gets fuzzy. See, I'm going off of propaganda and half lies. They say that Rue, my sister, lived for about two hours and then died. They say my mother was heart-broken, because Rue looked like Peeta. They say we were holding hands for the longest time in utero. They say, they say, they say. Well. I know one thing. My life will never be the same.
