Chapter 1:

~-The Volunteers-~

In District 4 the reaping are held at the docks, but I don't have to worry about them yet, even though I'm the most likely person to win the games, I mean I am likely to win the games, I still don't want to go in. I still have a chance that I could die.

I walk down to the place where all the best fighters go at midday everyday to train for the games. We fight against each other for training, and we do it in secrecy. I'm only 14 years old and have been told to come. This is my first training. No one has noticed my talent yet but I believe that I am one of the strongest people here, even though I'm not bulky I am still well built. I have a technique of throwing the first hit in hand-to-hand combat. I first dodge a punch from them then whack them with the side of my hand on the front of their neck. Then I punch them in the jaw and then the stomach. Then kick them over. And I almost always win.

I decide to go to the tridents. There are a line of dummies, each one 10 metres behind the one before it, I hit each one with the tridents in the heart, head, between the eyes and anywhere else what is fatal. I had just realised that a small crowd has gathered around me. I look at them and they stare back, we stay that was for 5 minutes before on of them talks.

"I'm Kayla... I think u should come to our killing combat show. We all get together and fight. The loser... Dies. It's kind of like the hunger games but u die fighting in a small arena. The winner get whatever the person they killed had. And if you win three consecutive fights then u go into the finals which is a week before the reaping for the hunger games. Wanna come? It is starting tonight, if you want to participate you have to pay something, something that they feel is worth of value. So yeah if you have anything that you want to doth to the death to get back. Then yeah. Come along. Meet me behind the grand hall at midnight. If you are late, you won't be able to get in. Anyway... What's your name?" Said Kayla.

"My name is Zander. Zander Flintoff. And sure I will meet you there. But don't bail on me." I say.

"Sure. I'll meet you there." She says with a wink.

The group walk away back to what they were doing. I decided to do one more thing before I go meet her. I decided to practice with the knives. And again I hit every target. All the fatal spots. On the furthest dummy, I hit it right in the forehead. You can hear the thud as it hits it. It has gone silent again. Again is everyone is watching me.

"What, I'm 14 and I can throw knives and throw tridents. So what are you looking at?" I say. Everyone goes back to what they were doing. After than I decided to leave. As I walk back to my house, I see my sister running towards me.

"Zander!" She yells. "Zander!"

I run up to her and say; "What, what happened."

She is out if breath so she takes a while to answer.

"The Games, the are being held tomorrow. The Capitol is rioting and the want the games to start early this year. They are having the reaping tomorrow!"

"What..." I say. "No that can't be possible."

"It is and I am going to the training centre now to tell the people there. There are others spreading the news as well."

"Ok I will go down to the training centre with you."

We run... No we sprint down to the training centre. Just as we get in and the door shuts, my sister yells out:

"REAPING IS TOMORROW, THE CAPITOL WAS GETTING RESTLESS SO THEY MADE THE REAPING TOMORROW."

Everyone turned to look at her. The trainer said; " ok thanks for telling us. Now you have to leave... Zander I need to speak to you."

"Ok... Hang on." I turned to my sister. "Go home and look after mother. She must be stressing over preparing everything for tomorrow ok?"

"Ok Zan." (That's her nickname for me) she says.

I walk over to the trainer as my sister (Breanne but everyone calls her Bree) walks out the door.

"Zander you are one of our best fighters... Well you are our best fighter. If you don't get reaped this year I want you to volunteer. I want you to be the first to volunteer ok? We need to win this year. We need to have another victor. Nobody can stand our previous victor complaining that he needs another neighbour, that he hates being on the end. So please we don't want to hear any more complaining." He says

"Ok I will..."

"You will be honoured. The best fighter going into the games and winning. We always need our best fighter. Anyway Joshua will be our best fighter after tomorrow. I will tell everyone that nobody has to volunteer for you if you get reaped. But if someone else gets reaped you will volunteer for them."

I smile a weak smile at him

"Ok." I say.

I didn't want to go into the games. But it looks like I have no choice. I'm either going to kill or be killed...
