It was one of the only holidays the capitol broadcasted on tv, besides the reaping of course. It was always Lily and Paige's favorite night. They would stay up late, eating sugary treats, watching the capitol's festivities from the comfort of our beat up house. Right before midnight, they would jump, hands entwined. Their feet would leave one year and land in a new year. Our parents always made sure to get them a Ratmas present this night, so that they could at least have some warm memories to get them through other chilling winters.
Unfortunately none of that was needed after they were sent where no one would ever feel the icy hand of the snow worn paths in district eight.
Abandon, my mother, was with Delish, my father, inside the house with Preston. I, on the other hand, had one hand clasped around a cup of warm pepermint tea, warming me as I sat outside in the new year. It was a newborn, basically a fetus year. It was only minutes old. It was still innocent, as if nothing could ever corrupt it, but I knew better.
I hear a movement in the darkness, my green eyes began to scan the unlit road i front of our meager house. "Who's there?" I call out to the dark, threatening to swallow me whole.
