Esme stood still, in shock by the scene unfolding in front of her. The bright, orange and red glare of the fire flickered as more and more buildings burned to the ground.
  The Capitol had decided to burn the town down... Her home...

  Esme let out a loud scream, one that she didn't even recognize as her own. The soldiers from the Capitol could be seen putting every child in a line and forcefully taking them out of the town.
  Her wide, violet eyes scanned the children, looking for her brother.

  There. Right there. Near the back. Her little brother slowly walked with an obvious limp. Esme let out another scream, yet it sounded like a battle cry. She sprinted towards him and he glanced back at her, fear and confusion relevant in his eyes.
  One of the soldiers took notice of Esme, and caught her in his arms before she could get her brother. She struggled and kicked and fought, trying to get free. Yet the soldier didn't let her go.

  Esme bit him in the vulnerable part of his armour, making him stiffle a scream as her teeth sank into his flesh. He hit her on the back of her head, hard, and her vision became hazy.
 
  The last thing she heard were the cries of her brother, and the screams her people as the fire roared on... before everything became black...
