Lacey Tanner ✤ The Tradition
Oh, the loneliеst girl in town was bought for plenty a price, eell, they dress her up in golden crowns, his smile hides a lie
The buzz around Finnick Odair’s miraculous Hunger Games victory had barely begun to fade when twelve year old Lacey Tanner of District 8 shocked all of Panem by winning the 68th Games. The life of a victor was never easy, but for a child to grow up in the eyes and arms of the Capitol, right under the thumb of President Snow himself, was even more so. Lacey was fortunate that her fellow young, beloved victors; Cashmere, Gloss, and Finnick, took her under their wing, alongside the older and even more jaded victor, Haymitch Abernathy. For six years Lacey survived the constant scrutiny, keeping her head down and her chin up, forever the obedient Capitol Princess even as rebellion stirs around her. When Katniss Everdeen outmanoeuvres Snow in her own games, Lacey knows that the time for revolution is near — her only comfort is that she will be nineteen on the next reaping day, finally safe from the arena that forever haunts her nightmares. Or so she thought, until the 3rd Quarter Quell is announced.
Lacey knows. She knows that she’s returning to the games. District 8 only has two victors, and Cecelia has people who need her. Children. A family. Whereas Lacey? Her family is going into the arena with her, and there’s no guarantee that any of them will make it out.
She smiles back, but it's a fact that her fear will eat her alive, well, she got the life that she wanted, but now all she does is cry
