I Don't Sucker Punch or the Hunger Games

R&R and I hope you enjoy my first fanfic!

BTW I'm editing all my chapter as well

Two years ago I was sold to a brothel, owned by a man named Blu. Before I could meet any of his so called clients. I attempted to escape with a group of friends, but he discovered our plan and we were caught. Normally Blu kills anyone who tries to escape, but he made a better fortune selling us to the districts. Some of you would say we were lucky, but I think living here is a more foul punishment then death. It feels as if I died a thousand times, living in this terrible poverty. I never heard the whereabouts of Amber or Blondie, but I do know Rocket and Sweet Pea were put in district seven. Unfortunately, I was put in district twelve, the poorest district of all.

District twelve was eventually rebuilt, but it looks as bad as it did before the second rebellion. Ten years ago a girl named Katniss Everdeen rebelled against the capitol. During the rebellion district twelve was destroyed in the process. She won and had one of her fellow comrades take over. Two years after the new leader was assassinated and President Snow's grandson took over and reopened the Hunger games. To make a bigger punishment now there are quarter quells every five years. During a quarter quell four people, instead of two, go to fight in the arena. First they take the victors from the previous games and then they pick names. This year I have to watch my back, my name has been entered thirty times plus treasury, which is. The odds are definitely NOT in my favor.

Part 1 - The Reaping

Chapter 1

I wake up to the cold air against my legs. I reach for my thin blanket, but it isn't there. Amelin must have left. She probably went to set up a picnic in the woods. Amelin is my younger sister. She has pale skin with some freckles on her cheeks. She has dark brown eyes and very dark brown hair that falls to her waist. She looks just like our mother, unlike me. I have dark green eyes and platinum blond hair. I'm sixteen and average height, while twelve year old Amelin is almost up to my shoulders. I thought she was dead because before I was sold to Blu, she got shot by the same man who had killed my mother, or at least it seems that way.

I put on a pink skirt, my thick grey tights, and my brown leather jacket. I put my hair into the two wavy pony tails that I always have and head out side. I quickly head to the oak tree outside my house. Apparently this tree is one of the few things that survived the destruction of twelve, along with a patch of white roses that lay in the middle of the square. It now grows moss and hangs lopsided due to its weak roots which covers my sword. Weapons are strictly forbidden because of the rebellion. The sentence of weapon possession is death. The reason I keep mine is for the same reason others do, getting shot is better than starving to death. I was caught with my sword once. The only reason I'm still alive to this very day is because the head peace keeper, Stacey Karlin, was nice enough to say I wasn't use to the rules here. She probably felt bad for me. I also have a bow, but I'm terrible with it. I only use it if my game gets too far and it most cases, its gets away. I run to the electrified fence. It never used to work, but since the rebellion it has to be on 24 hours a day. Little do they know part of the fence has been detached. I slip through the tiny opening and head to the woods out side./p

Out here in the woods is perfect. Although it's slightly cold it's a nice feeling. Following the down steam river that leads to thee lake, where I know Amelin's heading, I trip on a small tree stump. When I get up I notice a Mocking Jay on the tree above me.

"Help!", it starts to cry.

It was Amelin, I'm not sure what kind of trouble she's in, but I have to find her before its too late. I run as fast as I can taking out my sword just encase. I spot her on the other side of the river. Her foot is caught between two large rocks.

"Mari! Help!", she screams.

"I'm coming", I shout back.

I leap into the river and grab her arm, but she's really stuck. I use all my strength to roll the giant rock off her foot. She scrambled to get to land, so I drop the boulder of a rock and follow her.

"Thanks, Mari", she says while panting and giving me a big hug.

"Never go in woods without me, ok?"

"Alright, I wont", she agrees while grabbing my blanket that is now soaked covered in mud.

"And stick to one side of the river", I add.

"Well I think I learned my lesson on that one".

"What were you even doing in the river? If I may ask".

"I was trying to fish", she answers quietly.

"With a blanket!" I shout while laughing.

I quickly stopped just encase someone heard us.

"What is it?" She asks in concern.

"Were close to the fence" I mention while pointing at it.

"Are you going to hunt today?" She questions while going through the opening.

"Yeah, or else we won't have dinner tonight", I reply. "And neither will William".

William Leak lives in my district. I haven't been friends with him very long, but we get along just fine.

"Well I'll see you when you get back", she says while walking away.

I slightly nod and head back for the woods.

I find a nice tree and set up a snare. Before I even look for tracks I spot a deer. It looked fairly young, but it seemed able to run. I pull out my bow to try to get a sneak attack. I draw my bow and lean in to get a better shot at it. When I release it my arm went stiff and lowered making me hit the leg. As soon as it was hit it bolted. I try to follow it, but I honestly can't keep up so it gets away. When I jump out of the tree I notice tracks that were left from the deer, there is a small trail of prints that I follow back down to the river. The trail ended at the river. It could have gone any where, I decide to cross the river and I notice more tracks, but there's also foot prints. William? What would he be doing in the woods today, he went to the coal mines this morning. Suddenly I notice a boy in a blueberry bush.

"Will?!" I call out.

The boy looks up and I notice that its not him. This boy has fair skin, short, dark hair and brown eyes. He is tall and looks about eighteen.

"Who are you?" He asks while stepping forward.

Instead of answering him I run back to the river. It wasn't to be rude, but he looked sort of like a peace keeper with his white outfit and I'm not taking any chances. Who was he? I know everyone in the my part of the district. Even though I don't really talk to anyone, I still recognize them, but I've never seen him before. Maybe he's not from this part, but how would he know about the opening to the woods? I guess I won't be finding out, because there's no way I'm going back.
