Hello! Welcome to my new Hunger Games story! Yea! I hope you enjoy it!
I only own Anya Dallasanta.
"Ladies first!" said the old hag from the Capitol who was assigned to District 12. Lucky us. Well my luck was about to run out very soon. "Anya Dallasanta!" the hag's voice rang out. I looked around for a second and then realized something. Anya Dallasanta, was that the name she'd called? Like I said before; my luck was running out. I'm Anya Dallasanta, welcome to my reality. My reality that was about to twist around and turn upside down.
I walked up to the stage, as expressionless as possible, and stood next to the hag. I looked around the stage and saw nobody other then the Mayor, the hag whose name was Allie, and my mentor. Haymitch Abernathy, the only mentor in District 12. Great, I thought to myself, I'm going to have a Hell of a time trying to train under the likes of him.
Haymitch was a year or two older than me. He wasn't exactly the nicest person to be around, at least not to me. Of course I'd only talked to him after he won the Games. I told him I'd felt bad that they killed his loved ones and he wasn't that nice to me. I couldn't blame him; I'd act the same way if it'd happened to me.
"And now for the male tribute!" Allie's voice snapped me out of my thoughts. "Zach Johnson!" I'd never talked to Zach even though we were the same age, sixteen, and we went to school together. Zach looked like every seam boy; dark hair and gray eyes. Nothing more to elaborate on.
"I-I can't believe you got chosen!" Said my best friend Taylor, who was more excited over who my mentor was then she was worried about me coming home. For some reason or another most of my friends drooled over Abernathy; except me. None of my friends had the guts to actually talk to him except, yep you guessed it, me.
"Thanks for caring about my safety." I told her sarcastically.
"Well I'm not too worried," she lied to me, "I'll know you'll make it home!" I knew that she was lying to make me feel better. Still, at least she tried right?
"I-I guess so." I said, very unsure of myself, "Do you have a token I could use? My Mom sort of forgot to give me one before she left."
"Yea, here, wear in the arena or I will lecture you when you get back!" she said handing me a locket that said "To Thine Own Self be True" on it.
"I will!" I laughed lightly. "Now I have to go otherwise I'll miss the train. I'll see you on the other side!" I shouted to her as I ran to the train as the doors were about to close. They closed behind me; making sure that I wouldn't be able to jump out and run back to the some-what safer District 12 that I was leaving behind. Goodbye life, hello death I thought to myself as I put on my locket.
I hope you guys enjoyed, review please!
