Percy sighed and stood up wearily. It had only been one week after the Giant War, and now Chiron was calling him to the big house with Thalia and Nico. He had a sinking feeling that it was not to congratulate them on the defeat of Gaea.

So of course, he was right.

"What?" He asked in confusment. "You said, future? What capital? A cat named Niss?"

Thalia huffed and sighed, "Kelp Head, he said Katniss."

"But... what does an edible plant have to do with a capital?" Percy asked. "Or the future?"

Nico snorted and muttered something about hearing loss.

Chiron stomped impatiently. "Please do not interrupt me. As I was saying, you three shall go and pose as tributes in the 74th Hunger Games, yes, Percy, the fight to the death. Help the girl Katniss win. She needs to be the spark that causes the rebellion."

"Yes, but, we just got out of a war! Why should we help them?" Complained the demigods.

"Think, children, of the 23 innocent teenagers that die. You can stop the Capital's cruelty. Some of the children in the Games are 12! 12, and watching people kill!"

Everyone perked up at the speech. Percy felt slightly guilty. It wasn't right to have to fight to the death at the age of 12. "I'm in." he sighed.

"Sure," muttered Nico. "Think of the paperwork that those games make for my dad!"

"Well, if you're doing it, I'll come." said Thalia as she put away her bow.

Chiron clapped and announced, "Splendid. You leave in one week. Wear something nice, Percy will be in District 9, Thalia and Nico in 7. Nico will volunteer and Percy and Thalia's names will be rigged. To volunteer, say 'I volunteer!'. Good?"

Everyone nodded.

"Oh, and one thing. Do not ever reveal yourselves. Leo will give you tiny devices that make yourself unable to be heard by others. The gods will teleport you to your places in Panem. And I repeat, do not reveal your demigod selves." Chiron said, stressing the last sentence.

Thalia fidgeted in line and glanced at Nico. She stepped into the group of other girls and waited as the announcer babbled on about history and chirped "Happy Hunger Games!" Thalia sighed, they were taking so long! Her ADHD didn't exactly help that much. Finally, the announcer called "Thalia Grace!"

Thalia pushed her way up and stood on the stage, looking for Nico.

The announcer cried, "And out boy tribute is-"

"I volunteer!" Nico thrust his hand in the air and marched up.

"But-"

"Doesn't matter, I'm your tribute." Nico interrupted and stood next to Thalia.

"Err, shake hands?" It appeared to be a question, but Nico shook hands with Thalia.

Thalia really hoped Percy did not mess things up.

Percy sighed. He stared at everyone. They seemed quite nervous, but Percy hoped that Nico and Thalia had been made tributes. He zoned out as the... announcer? Mayor? blabbed about something. Suddenly, the guy yelled, "Percy Jackson!"

Cursing his ADHD, Percy made his way up the steps and stood by the girl tribute. He felt slightly sorry for her, he was trained for this, but not her.

Later, they boarded the train to the Capital. Percy quickly lied to the people and said that his family was all dead. They frowned but bought it, to his relief. People had told Percy that he wasn't a good liar.

No. No, no. Prim couldn't have been picked... But she still had been reaped. And Katniss would not allow it.

"I volunteer as a tribute!" She cried in desperation, flinging herself in front of her sister. She took her place as Gale took away Prim. She walked up and stood near the stage, saying her name to Effie Trinket. But the next thing that happened was a real shocker.

Peeta Mellark had been reaped.

She stared, forcing herself to shake his hand as a million thoughts ran through her head. She would have to kill the boy with the bread to win. She internally shook her head. After all, she probably wouldn't even survive the Bloodbath.

Yet she had to, she had to win, even if she killed Peeta. For Prim.

A/N: Okay, first chapter up! I hope it was okay since this is my first fan fiction. The chapters will be longer, this was just a intro. Please review!
