My entire life I have felt cursed. I've felt like I was misplaced. Just nothing ever went right for me.

When I was ten my father died.

When I was eighteen I was chosen for the hunger games.

While in the hunger games I vowed to keep my partner alive. Instead I had to kill him.

I won my games, but I was sold as a prostitute.

Everything I had wasn't mine. It was all Snow's. My apartment, my food, my clothes, even my body.

Two months after my games my mother died. She was actually murdered.

Snow murdered her.

When I was Twenty-three I was reaped back in the hunger games.

Finally was able to keep my partner alive but, I was taken and experimented on in the Capitol.

I lost my memory.

I lost Blossom. The one person who didn't look at me like I was an animal or a killer. But then I killed her.

And all these things have lead back to one ludicrous man. President Coriolanus Snow.

Or Snow as I like to call him since he doesn't deserve the title of President.

Now I stand here. At the top of the ladder while my only family left fight for there way back up.

"FINN! ROLAND!" I screamed as their body's were flung back. I had one foot on the ladder before being pulled away.

"Let go Katniss!" "You can't go down there!" "I need to save them." I'm surprise tears haven't burned my eyes but there as dry as can be.

Metal hit the ladder I looked down to see Finnick climbing up. Blood gushed down from his shoulder. I got out my gun and shot any mutts trying to get him.

Once I could reach him I grabbed him.

"ROLAND!" I screamed. There was no response.

"ROLAND!" Please answer please!

"ROLAND." Answer please!

"CYPRESS!" He screamed. "KILL ME!" My heart dropped. It was as if time slowed down, once his words hit my ears I was in a trance.

I couldn't. No I couldn't. I need him. No. I couldn't. No I couldn't. I need him. No. I couldn't. No I couldn't. I need him. No.I couldn't. No I couldn't. I need him. No .I couldn't. No I couldn't. I need him. No.

I need him. I need him. I need him. I need him. I need him.

"CYPRESS!" My thoughts were cut short and time went fast again. I turned to see Katniss holding onto Finnick. His eyes were closing.

A tear finally slid down my face.

I grabbed her bow and her flamed arrow.

"Can you?" She started to speak I knew what she was going to ask.

I pulled the bow back.

It's what he wants. It's what he wants. It's what he wants. It's what he wants. It's what he wants.

Before I knew it my fingers left the string.

His screams of pain finally stopped.

A canon went off in my mind.

I put my arm around Finnick's waist, Katniss and I both struggled to keep him up.

"Kill me." He mumbled. "Use the bow, or the gun, or your sword. Just do it." "No! I'm not going to!" "Angel." "Don't." "Just give me the nightlock."

I shook my head. He reached down and grabbed something from his pocket. I caught a glimpse of the purple pill.
