Girl Wearing Yellow

In the desolate expanse of District Eleven, where suffering is a birthright and rebellion a whispered dream, Adora navigates a life defined by loss and the ever-present shadow of the Capitol. On the eve of her final Reaping, a horrifying truth about her missing friend, Mabelle, shatters Adora's fragile sense of normalcy and forces her to confront the brutal realities of their world. As the 74th Hunger Games loom, and the name 'Rue Castor' echoes across the square, Adora is plunged into a maelstrom of fear, guilt, and a desperate struggle to hold onto hope in a world designed to crush it. Will she find the strength to fight, or will she, like so many others, be consumed by the darkness?

The oppressive heat of District Eleven beat down on Adora as she walked solemnly back to her house. The upcoming Reaping weighed heavily on her mind, but it was the two-month disappearance of her friend, Mabelle, that consumed her thoughts.

Suddenly, Grit sprinted towards her, his face manic with urgency. "They found her!" he yelled, his words a jolt that sent Adora running, dropping everything in her haste. Her intuition led her to the Lack's house, where familiar, grief-stricken faces gathered outside. Juinette, her best friend, stood shaking, unable to fully voice the horror she had witnessed.

"Is she dead?!" Adora cried, a frantic fear twisting in her gut. "No, no!" Juinette sobbed, "She's alive just... in real bad shape, Addy. I've never seen any of the other girls look this bad."

Adora's relief was short-lived as she learned Mabelle was inside, severely injured, and her parents and the healers, the Lacks, were preventing others from seeing the full extent of her injuries. The air crackled with unspoken dread, a grim foreshadowing of the secrets and truths about to unravel.
