First chapter, woohoo here we go :)
I do not, repeat not own The Hunger Games
Whenever I got a splinter back home my mother would always say this:
"If it's fast it wont hurt, Oakley." I'd then wipe the tears from my face and tell her okay. I feel the same way now.
I got to the cornucopia in time to see the tributes start falling. It was a prime example of the careers at work. The big ones from two are hacking through the swarm. I see the girl-Clove- stab a District Nine tribute as he fights with that girl who was on fire. The pretty ones from District One are gutting the cornucopia by searching for supplies and weapons. I am positive one of said weapons will be the cause of my death.
I'm not worried about. I'm worried about my mom and dad. I'm their only son, and they need to watch me die.
They should be grateful that I chose to die now. There are so many deaths in the beginning they don't have time to replay deaths. My parents won't need to re watch my probably gory but hopefully quick end on the television in the town square back in District Seven.
In my peripheral vision I see the girl from nine fall with a sword jutting from her side. My stomach drops as I remember how she was glowing with life the night of the interviews and now she's dead or dying as I still live and breathe.
She's lucky, like I'll be lucky when somebody brings me to my end. Our last days were full of wonderful food, high tech gadgets and pampering. Not full of starvation, dehydration, fearing for your life and false hope that you might make it to see the next sunrise.
I see Maple, my District counterpart sprinting in my direction, an axe gripped tightly in her hand. On her tail is Glimmer the girl from one. Maple clutches her axe tight; she thinks it will save her. She thinks running away will save her.
But Glimmer is fast. Reaching out her weapon less hand she grabs Maple's auburn ponytail. Maple shrieks and falls towards her, tears streaming down her face. Glimmer wastes no time in putting a knife to her throat and cutting a gaping hole all the way across. She smiles as Maple drops her axe and slides to the ground, blood streaming from her throat and staining the ground where we stand.
"Better just finish district seven off, no point in waiting." she muses. She looks at my face with a sneer and gazes down at the dead body at our feet. But the words were not directed at me but at her district partner who stood behind me and swung the axe at my neck.
Death was fast.
Just as I wanted
Attention everybody this is an extremely important message!
