—Rose's POV—

The room was filled with laughs by me and my mom. Peter was trying to make a stupid trick that he learned with Josh but was failing

"Ok, I give up" he said and sat on the couch with a sad expression

"Oh come on baby, you will do great next time" my mom said trying to stop laughing but failing miserably and me as the good sister that I am start laughing as well at his face

"Mom! Rose!" He said but start laughing with us

Today was a normal day like the others or so I thought. The television lit up and there stood President Snow

We immediately stopped laughing and looked at the television

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the 75th year of the Hunger Games and it was written in the charter of the games that in every 25 years there would be a Quarter Quell to keep fresh for each new generation the memory of those who died in the uprising against the Capitol"

Something is wrong, I can feel it. I put my hand on my necklace. It's a thing that I do when I'm nervous. My mom put her hand on mine and I smiled at her

"Now we honor our third Quarter Quell on the seventy-fifth anniversary, as a reminder to the rebels that even the strongest among them cannot overcome the power of the Capitol, the male and female tributes of each district are to be reaped from the existing pool of victors"

I felt like a couldn't breathe anymore. The screams of my mother and the cries of my brother were the only thing that could be heard on this house

I got up still in shock. This has to be a nightmare. I can't go back.

"No" I whispered

I put my hands on my head and start walking back and forth. This can't be real. I can't go through this again

"No, no, no"

"Rose........." my brother tried to calm me down but in this moment nothing could make me feel better

"NO! THIS IS NOT HAPPENING AGAIN! NO"

I start breaking everything that was in my way. My family was watching me with pity. I was shaking and crying

Then something clicked in me...........the others. They will have to go in there. How can I kill the people that I love

"JOSH!" I screamed and start running to his house ignoring my mom's pleads

I was running as fast as I could. When I got to his house I start knocking on the door frenetically

"JOSH! Please......." I said crying

The door was opened by Ana who was crying and with her 3 years old son, Arthur, on her arms

I ran to the living room and saw Josh with a bottle of bourbon on his hand. Glass was all over the floor
