Down in the valley, the valley so low
Hang your head over, hear the wind blow
Hear the wind blow, dear, hear the wind blow;
Hang your head over, hear the wind blow.
BOOM.
The cannon boom startled sixteen-year-old Breea Crawford awake. It was the final two, and she was in it.
Who had died? It could have been the boy from 4 or the boy from 5, but Breea wasn't sure who. She instinctively reached for her axe as she looked front, back, left, right. No one.
Breea stood up, rubbing her eyes. Surely, they'll find me if I stay here. She grabbed her bag and set off.
The crack of a twig under a heavy boot and a muttered curse five minutes later caused Breea to reach for her axe, her long blonde braid flying as she whipped her head toward the sound.
The creator of the noise was the boy from Five. Breea let out a breath. Oh my gosh, he killed the Four boy.
The boy held up his hand. "Wait," he whispered.
Breea lowered her axe.
"What's your name?" asked the boy.
"Breea. Breea Crawford. Who are you?"
"Me, I'm Gage Brewer," he replied. "I'm sorry, I just wanted to know your name. I didn't want for one of us to die without knowing our killer's name. Although, with this-" he pointed to a large gash on his abdomen- "you'll probably be victorious."
Breea winced. "Yeah."
Gage smiled wistfully. "Good luck, Breea."
"May the odds be ever in your favor," Breea returned the smile and said.
With that, she reached for her axe, and Gage for his sword, and they began to fight.
The fight continued for a few minutes, at which point Gage began to let his guard down. Breea took the opportunity.
Wham. She slammed the axe into Gage's chest, and his blood flew through the air. Breea stumbled back, not believing what she'd done.
She trembled there, in shock, not hearing the groans and pleas of the boy she'd just condemned to death. Breea heard the cannon boom a minute later. She fell to the ground, ears covered, as the trumpets blared.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Victor of the Forty-Sixth Hunger Games! Breea Crawford of District Seven!"

Well, here we are again. Just so you know, I am still doing Articulosis. I want to get a head start on this story, and I mainly want to be able to have a nice big cast of tributes to choose from. Articulosis WILL be finished.
Here we have a sneak peek at last year's Victor and the newest Mentor, Breea Crawford.
I have put the rules and form up on my profile. I will not be accepting reservations, and this is not first come first serve. I will choose the absolute best tributes.
I hope you all are pumped for this story. I will be putting a lot more thought and planning into HTWB than I did for Articulosis, so expect one heck of a wild ride. :D
Well, enjoy the ride! I hope to see a bunch of awesome tributes :))
