The Hungers Games: Cato's Story
Chapter 1
District 2
District 2 is one of the wealthier districts of Panem. It specialises in stone making for the walls of the Capitol, weapon making and graphite mining. This is the district in which I am from. My name is Cato. I am seventeen and I have blond hair and I have blue eyes. I am one of the careers in district 2. I train throughout the years of 10-18 then if I haven't got into the hunger games by then or I have died then I stop training. Whenever someone is picked at the reaping it is a fight between all the careers to get in to the hunger games. I have a feeling that the Seventy-fourth annual hunger games will be my lucky year.
I wake up at 5 am and head on down to the training centre which is located near the district hall. I go in and instantly see the coach.
'Morning coach'
'You're early! Looking forward to the reaping.'
'Yeah! Hopefully today will be my day'
'But you're too slow. You're always the last one to say it'
'Well this year is just special'
'I hope you're right I'm getting sick and tired of training you!' I laughed at him. He made a serious face. 'I mean it!' I laughed again.
I walked towards the sword fighting area and picked up my favourite sword. A shimmering silver sword that has a curve at the top. It's light and fits around my grip. (Probably because I use this sword all the time!) Sometimes I pretend that the dummy is the Moonus Slickermen, the announcer of who will be in the Hunger Games for District 2. Hopefully I will be in it this year…
