Hey guys! I'm honestly shocked with how many people actually enjoyed this! I thought that no one would read this and it would just rot. And mistakes you guys pointed out should be fixed; thank you for letting me know!

FeathersOfFancy: I really hope I don't let you down, then!

Uhhhhh I'm honestly not too sure. I'm not the best with timelines, so sure? I kinda fixed it to just being the first volunteer in district eleven, however.

I did fix the spelling error; thank you for correcting me!

Radio Free Death: Ahhh yes. Thank you so much!

Probably not, but because this story is out of the eyes of Maddyi, she isn't aware that the Mistress doesn't know. She just thinks that she is fine with sending her little innocent sister off to die.

Haha, yea. I thought so too.

Alright! Here's the next chapter!

I didn't really spend time with Hannah and my mom. I couldn't. I couldn't bear to see my sister's eyes again, or hear my mother's pleas. I wouldn't be able to stand it. There was nothing I could do to change anything, anyways. Taking part of the games was my fate, even if it meant death.

I sat on the train quitely. I didn't speak much, or eat either. I simply couldn't. I knew it would probably be better not to starve, but I couldn't mentally find the strength to do anything. So I stared out the window and let my mind wander.

It wandered to who and what I was leaving behind other than my family; My best friend, Tess, the only home I had ever known, and my two kittens, Bella and Maggie. I sighed.

There would be about a four percent chance I would actually survive, and the odds didn't seem to look in my favor.

Naturally, I didn't really know anyone. But when we got to training, that changed. Or, at least it changed a little.

Only one person caught my eye at first; the male from District Two. He seemed strong, and he was quick particularly with a knife. It took me a while to pick up his name, but it was Dexter. I ended up talking with the District Two female, whose name was Olive, and she told be he also was a volunteer. Apparently he had won the last set of games, and thought he would have a better chance of winning again than a random boy who wouldn't even know how to start a fire.

Olive was a nice girl, but was also strict and tidy. Her thick vibrant dark-red hair flowed swiftly down her back, and she always kept a few hair ties on her wrist for when she went full out in training. She seemed like she would make a good ally. She knew how to shoot a bow, which was definitely more than what I could do. To be honest, I didn't really know what to do. I've never used a weapon before, and I wasn't exactly the strongest in my family. Then again, I wasn't exactly the weakest.

The girl from District Four was tall and dainty, and her fearful pale-green eyes made her easy to recognize after a while. She was clearly meek and didn't look like she would stand a chance in the games. Her name was Allyn, and looked about sixteen; the same age as me. It was interesting to think about how weak and unprepared she looked. She was the kind of person who shouldn't be here.

I knew that she would end up being the first to die.

Okay, yes. I am aware that I skipped the whole chariot thing. I honestly wasn't too sure how to write it, still being a young writer. Maybe I'll write it as a one-shot or something in the future. I also know that it would be unlikely that Maddyi would choose not to spend time with her family, but with the personality I want to shape with her it was the best option.

Also sorry that this chapter's shorter than the last one. I'll try to make the next one a bit longer!

Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed! Until next chapter!
