____________________

I was never a huge fan of the hunger games like the kids at school, even though I should have been.

You know, being Snows granddaughter and all.

My friends always told me how lucky I was, that I could have anything, anything, I ever wanted. They were wrong.

~~~

"NOO!" I had screamed. "GRANDPA!"

I had been forced to sit next to President Coin, up on the balcony. Then Katniss had shot the arrow, not at my grandfather, but at her. She had fallen off the balcony and for a single moment, all was still, silent, as if the world was holding its breath.

Then came his laugh. My grandfather's laugh. His laughing turned to coughing and then there was the stampede.

I had screamed. Screamed so hard.

No. He was my only family. My mum was gone, and I had never even known my dad. Even with the rumors that it was Snow that had killed her, he was still my only family. He couldn't be dead.

For the first time in my life, I missed my grandfather. I wanted him.

When I stopped screaming, I was racked with tears. Tears and sobbing.

What would happen now? No one would protect me. I was related to the person that had caused all this mess.

Not once did I think about the fact the hunger games were over. Yet of course they weren't. Minutes earlier I had had a family. Now I was an orphan. An orphan that was treated like a criminal.

"Get up." Some guards had growled, grabbing my arms. They pulled me up and dragged me off the balcony, still racked with sobs.

They threw me into a room, a dull, dim room with no light except that of which came from a small window. All that was inside it was a bed with plain grey sheets and a small bare shelf. There, I had cried. I'd cried so hard.

The tears poured down my cheeks. Living in the Capitol, tears didn't come often. Life had always been perfect, with nothing to cry over. Now my world was falling to rubble, and I was realizing just how fragile it had been.

I had been blind to it all. The threats I faced being the presidents closest relative. I had only ever noticed the perks. Now the darker side was revealing.

And my light that had seemed so good, suddenly seemed nothing compared to the districts now. As theirs was now bright. And mine had just gotten extinguished.
