CONFRONTED BY DARKNESS - by 221b Dauntless

Hi. This is my first fanfic. Getting down to the point, it may be confusing at the beginning but off you stick with me you will get it. I am throwing a few quotes in so is you find any then please comment and I will follow you. I hope you enjoy and, again, please stay with me and read on as it will all make sense later. It is in the view of a tribute girl from district 7 and the first chapter is an extract from chapter 7. If you don't understand that then please just skip to chapter 2. Thank you and I hope you enjoy and stick with me. Thank you for any comments and input. So please, read on…

CHAPTER 1

"No!" I shouted,"I am not going there!" "You-you promised that you would! I can't help that but I am so, so sorry." "I won't take it, never!" "OK, OK. But just think about it," pleaded Theo. "No, I wi-"I sighed, "OK, I'll think about it." "Thanks." he trudged off into the darkness. My mind was a mess. The wind blew my hair around, obscuring my face. His wishes were more taxing by the day: at first it was to hunt for him, next it was to cook him some of the miscellaneous bird I caught. It just put a weight so heavy onto me that a would never stand straight again. That is if I ever survived…

The 48th annual Hunger Games was like any other for many. But for me, it was most likely going to be the worst…and the last. Theo was my life line after I got stabbed, after I got reaped, after I cried every night for weeks, praying that it wouldn't be me. But of course it would. He was demanding but could be the only safe hands I could find sometimes. I got stabbed by Lucus from district 2. A carrier. They mostly won every year: vicious, bloodthirsty idiots who were power crazy. Me, being from 7, was no big threat. Weak, small and only 13. Hey, I could run though, pretty damn fast as well.
