Letting Go: Eclipse Glade after her games.



Chapter 1:

I stare out at the hills of District 0. This is my last chance to see my homeland before my vicory tour. My friends have left me alone here. I wrap the coat around myself and pick up a stick, drawing some letters in the snow... an E, an X. It reminds me of how life used to be, before I ever had to endure the Games. I straighten, tossing the stick away and run down the hill. I am still 12. Still younger than they want me to be, but I am a victor. The first District 0 has had in a while. Yes, oof course the odds were against me the whole time. Then I realize what time it is. It's almost 9:00 p.m. I need to get back home so I'm ready for my victory tour tomorrow. Seems like some sort of big thing, right? It's really not all that great. You just look at the families of the tributes you've killed, and give a little speech and move on. "At least I won't be alone," I think as I strip off my coat in frnt of the fire.
