let the games begin

Katniss decides to not play President Snows games before the Hunger games begins so she recruits eight others:Glimmer,Marvel,Clove,Cato,Sage(foxface),Rue,Thresh,and Peeta. although most are willing Cato thinks it goes against everything he believes in so she has to work harder for him.no beta...yet first chapter prologue just let me know if I should continue.

I've never imagined this ever happening. Sure I pictured this unfathomable event occurring but in the back of my mind I thought nah… that couldn't happen to me, I wouldn't get reaped. Well i was right I didn't get reaped my sister Prim did which was a million times worse. So I did the only logical thing that came to mind. I volunteered, which was unheard of in my district. It had never happened before, well until now.

As I sat on the train I listened to the one and only President Snow talk about this upcoming hunger games and the tributes. He acted as though we were nothing more then just pawns in a game well I guess technically we were but we're all so much more then that to. It is not fair but what am i saying when has anything been fair in my life or any of the other tributes past and present. And its just a game to him well guess what two can play this game.

I'm working on a plan that I'm hoping will not result in me dying or worse it not working at all. As I sit in front of the television in my district twelve pent house, I realize that I can't do this alone I need people to help me and who better then those who are under the same circumstances as me and want the same thing, life. Even the careers do I'm sure.

So I watch the reapings with fascination. First off district one, with the usual unreasonable names of Glimmer and Marvel. What kind of names were they anyways, I mean who gives birth to a child and says oh she glimmers like a diamond, lets name her Glimmer or he sure is marvelous we'll nick name him Marvel. I don't quite understand where they draw the line. Next was district two and the girl was small and deadly, the boy was huge and obviously deadly as well. nothing caught my eye until we finally reached district five and the girl had red hair pinned back into a bun which was perfect because I could see her eyes which were unmistakably identical to Prim's, not in color, in what they contained which was knowledge beyond her we came to district eleven and a girl, small in stature just like Prim as well, who I could not stop thinking about I felt so bad for this little girl. Then her district partner who was almost as big as the male from two. Almost. All needed all seven of them but more importantly the twelve districts needed them.I wrote down their names Glimmer,Marvel,Clove, Cato,Sage,Rue, and Thresh.

later that night I overhear, ok spying on, Haymitch discussion between other mentors saying something about a rebellion brewing because of a volunteer. Well I hadn't really thought far enough into the future to cause a rebellion with my plan so the fact that somebody else did it is perfect. So I write nine notes, myself and Peeta included of course and forge them saying they are from Haymitch, saying to meet on the roof, that I had discovered is to loud for camera's to overhear, tomorrow the games begin.
