How old is maysilee donner

Maysilee by Etrapo 96 1 1. Tells the story of Maysilee Donner's Reaping. Maysilee was one of two girls picked for the first Quarter Quell, alongside Haymitch Abernathy. She was also the original o The Birth Of The Mockingjay [the There was a boy in front of her. If she had been someone else she would have studied his face. If she had been someone she knew a long time ago, she would have wondered Mockingjay High by Sharidan Steinfort When all of the Hunger Games characters are thrown together in the arena they all must kill each other.

But what if they were just thrown into the same High School? Ang Probinsyanang Mahinhin by KnightQueen 24 2 2. May babaeng nag uumapaw sa kagandahan. Malaanghel na tinig. Malalim kung magsalita. He needed her to go away. But she was their precious victor, the one everybody adored and the Iron Maiden was still Head Peacekeeper.

So Cray brooded in silence. On the screens Sophie was the perfect victor. What happened behind closed doors no one was aware of, least of all the Capitol. It happened slowly. A slightly faster voice, an odd comment, laughter where there were no reason for laughter. But when September turned into October it got clear to the people of Twelve there was something wrong with Sophie. She started to cause scenes, saying things. Dangerous things about the Games, about the Capitol, about President Snow.

It begun one day in the market and it ended with her catastrophe of a Victory Tour. Her reason faded like morning mist. And then when it was less than five minutes left, a girl in the audience stood up from her seat. Without looking right or left, least of all back at her father the 17 year old walked up to the Iron Maiden. She spoke in soft whispers. The head master looked bewildered but the Iron Maiden soon gave a curt nod and gestured for the girl to enter the stage.

And when the celebrations started it was Helena who played the piano for District Her music filled the auditorium until you thought the roof might lift.

Her face was on every television screen in Twelve and all across Panem together with the clips from other districts and the Capitol parties and speeches. Afterwards Helena tried to get back to her seat but was surrounded by cameras and reporters asking her a million questions. How old are you? Who taught you how to play?

Will you play again? She answered evasively, wanting nothing more than go back to her seat, despite her father standing there, pale with anger. Later that evening the neigbours heard them quarreling. The windows were shut but their voices could be heard all the same. Helena who never disobeyed her father, who never talked back to him. And he was hitting her and she ran out of the house.

What had happened? Had she woken up despite the sleep syrup? Had Constance drifted off during the worst of times after tending to the girl day and night? Whatever the reason Sophie was out, confused and alone in the dark and cold and Helena tried to get her home. Cray was only waiting for an excuse to take Sophie into custody. The district swam with peacekeepers going their rounds. Two of them were nearby, They aimed a flashlight in their direction when they heard the screams but before they could spot Constance with Sophie, Helena sprang forward — and let herself be taken.

Her sacrifice bought Sophie a few more weeks. Cray had made sure to file reports against her ever since the beginning of her strange behavior. Who knew what was true and what was exaggerated? In the end and with her Victory Tour in fresh memory, authorities saw fit to send a party.

They came to take her to a facility in the Capitol who specialized in mental illness. Which was just a lot of fancy words for locking her up in a padded room and throw away the key. But Constance, who knew they were coming, was already a step ahead of them. When they pushed inside the house with Cray at the head of the group it was already over. Helena had always had a hard time letting anyone else help her care for Harold so Haymitch looked after Amadeus and they both did chores around the house while ma did what she could for their grandfather.

Despite their complicated relationship you could see how much Helena cared for the old man in each and every one of her movements. But she loved him. And in his own way he must have loved her. Worked extra hours at the woodshop so he could pay for her lessons with Madam up at the school. Haymitch wondered. Madam and Helena. During those lessons? And Sophie, perhaps the girl had wound up joining them one day when she came to walk her mother home.

She probably never anticipated what a scene her performance would cause. But Harold knew. Games had been rigged before so to have the Capitol love you was almost as dangerous as to be hated by them. In his own brutal way Harold had tried to protect his still only 17 year old daughter and the children she might have in the future. Was that what the fight had been about? Had she told him she wanted to become a music teacher?

If she had, that dream died the moment she got arrested. Someone with a record would never be considered when they hired new teachers. Dom, who was a calm, gentle and open-hearted man, very much the opposite of Harold. And Madam never forgot what Helena did for her family and how she got hurt doing it. The old woman must have seen Helena in him when Haymitch came begging her to teach him how to play the piano.

And when they were starving she hired him to do tasks around the house that she could easily have done herself, to pay off a debt she felt she owed. These woods had been kept inside the fence solely for the sake of the graveyard and the marks on the resting places all differed depending on what their loved ones could afford. There were the few tombstones with words on them and the iron crosses but mostly just regular gray stones picked from the Meadow or wherever you could find one and flowers, many of them, dug up and re-planted.

Words were spoken over Harold but Haymitch barely heard it. His gaze wandered to the wide clearing further in, separated from all the rest. Did his mother feel the same way, after what happened to Sophie? Had she told Harold they had to help her? And did he? Or did he just say it was already too late?

Their only victor, who survived the arena but died anyway. Because nobody ever won the Games. Not really. They sat at the table together.

The scarce lamp light illuminated their faces while Ma mended a pair of socks and Haymitch helped Amadeus with his reading like most nights. Haymitch had always had it easy in school.

Everyone always said he was a smart kid. Ma and pa, grandpa Harold, even Mr. He just remembered stuff easily. Could figure things out without much effort. Haymitch liked facts. Like which plants to eat or remedies to use when you got sick. In secret he hoped Amadeus would get an apprenticeship at the bookshop when he got older. The Hendersons had no children of their own and they were very fond of Amadeus and his pure and passionate love for the written word.

Not when he had Amadeus to think about. Amadeus and ma and Tara. They were his family. The ones left. The two brothers lay awake long after ma had turned the lights off that night.

Outside the wind shook the naked trees. Cold stars, frozen in the sky looked down on the squat, gray houses of the Seam, the shops and stores in town with all the shutters up.

The twelve empty houses with all the sleeping rose bushes that would soon be covered in a thick layer of snow. Empty and waiting. Maysilee most likely didn't know Haymitch before the games, considering they lived in different parts of District But she made an alliance with him and when she was fatally wounded he ran to her and held her hand as she died, indicating they must have cared for each other to some degree.

The wife of District 12's mayor, Mrs. Undersee first name unknown , was Maysilee's twin sister. She struggled terribly after Maysilee died in the games, even after she was married and had a daughter, Madge. She suffered terrible headaches and was confined to bed, possibly suffering from depression.

Because of how badly Mrs. Undersee was affected by Maysilee's death, it can be inferred that the sisters were very close. In Catching Fire , Mrs. Everdeen reveals that she and Maysilee Donner were best friends. After Maysilee's death and the Games, Maysilee's mother gave Mrs. Everdeen her pet songbird to keep and care for. Everdeen was also standing next to her when she was reaped and broke down in tears along with Mrs.

Undersee, her sister. Everdeen had never mentioned Maysilee to Katniss, probably because she knew her children wouldn't like to know how she died. Madge is Maysilee's niece.

Maysilee's pin had been handed down to her and Madge has been mentioned wearing it. She gave it to Katniss after the reaping, proving their friendship, which was later used as the sign of the rebels during the second rebellion. Katniss doesn't find out the pin was Maysilee's until the events in Catching Fire when she watches the video of Haymitch's Games.
