Hunger Games 100

Tournament

Chapter I

Fear. That is what I felt every day of my life.

Come back with me to three years ago.

I was a scrawny little kid in the school yard after school heading back to my house. My family is rich. Yep. They are. Were. To be exact. When my older brother ambushed me with his friends. His name is Katano. Katano Greyson. That's our last name. Him and his friends are the type. Were the type. What do I mean by type? The type that trains their whole lives to win the games type. What are the games? The Hunger Games. Everyone knows what it is. Two contestants are chosen by the Capital every year to fight in a sports stile arena because we lost a war almost a hundred years ago. But that's super boring stuff I won't bore you to death with.

Anyway, off subject. He started throwing snowballs at me. That escalated fast. Soon he was pounding me into the snow. I don't know why he hates me. Hated me. Sorry this happened three years ago. I keep saying the wrong thing.

Where was I? That's right. He started pounding me into the ground. He could have killed me that snowy day. That is, if Winter hadn't helped. Winter. She is the most beautiful and most amazing person in all of Panem. She's the daughter of the mayor. She threw a rock killing my brother. Whereas one would expect me to be sad that my brother had just died I was in fact over joyed. She had done me a huge favor; the girl I was in love with my entire life had just saved my life!

I got up and walked over to her, "Thank you so much!" I said. "How can I eve-"

"Get out of here slime."

I was heartbroken. That was the day I decided that I wasn't going to be saved by anyone ever again. Its been hard. Short after that day my father died. My mother and my little brother cried a lot. Okay okay. I cried too. But I stayed strong. I got jobs everywhere I could. I took grain and oil last year in exchange for extra names in the roster for the Hunger Games. I didn't get chosen. Score!

And that brings us to this point. I Have been working out and training for this the one hundredth hunger games knowing that district 12 is the smallest district and when they take eight teenagers and put them into the games I am going to volunteer. Because my name is Flame Greyson. And I fight my own fights.
