96, ADD [After Dark Days]
They had done it! Wyatt and Nina had done it! They had both reached the conclusion of the games.
Mariabel watched from the District 5 orphanage center, other kids her age surrounding her. All of their eyes were glued to the television screen.
"Oh no. Does this mean they have to… You know, fight?" A little boy asked her, his eyes looking fearful as he faced the television screen once more.
This would've worried Maribel as well, however, she was different than the other children in the room. She knew of the plan. Wyatt and Nina had been selected by Mrs. Vida [The operator of orphanage] as part of a secret rebellious plan. Many children had been trained for the games, this would be the first of many waves against the Hunger Games.
The plan was simple, try and reach the end of the games and then threaten a double suicide. As Maribel faced the Television screen again, she saw the two tributes slowly beginning to take action.
Nina gave a sad smile at Wyatt. Wyatt did the same.
"Well… Is this where we say goodbye?" He asked her.
She nodded.
Soon Alium began to commentate. "It's kind'a sad actually, knowing that these two will have to fight to the death." He sighs.
He pauses. "But who's going to do the deed?" He questions.
A grin forms on Mariabels face. Neither. Either they both die, and this years games have no victor… Or both of them come home. Simple, like that…
Nina hugs Wyatt. "It… It doesn't have to be this way though!" She cries. Nina's acting skills are perfect, you'd almost mistaken them for an actual couple. Matter of fact, Mariabel was just imagining how fun it'd be teasing the two about it if they came home.
However, the moment of truth had arrived. Wyatt sniffled. "Your right... " He sadly admits, pulling something out of his jacket pocket.
And there they are! Mariabel grinned. Two dark black berries… Also known as nightlock. She was the one who suggested that they attempt a double suicide, specifically with those.
She was thankful some idiot had leaked the map of the arena because her two friends had thankfully played the Capitols cards correctly and were now about to destroy the Capitol at their own game.
Nina quickly tries to stop Wyatt, but he quickly explains to her.
"Neither of us want to die… But neither of us want to kill each other... " He admits, looking to the ground.
In a matter of seconds, he's actually crying.
Mariabel is actually quite shocked. It's almost as if they're actually in love. She never knew Wyatt was such a good actor…
Nina takes a look at the nightlock. "A-Are you sure?" She asks.
Wyatt nods in response, holding onto one of her hands. "I… I love you." He suddenly kisses her on the cheek.
Nina only blushes before she opens her mouth to ask something. However, Wyatt quickly responds. "Truly." He sadly admits.
Or wait? Do they REALLY love each other? Mariabel was confused, but she shook her head knowing that either way this was going to really mess with the Gamemakers. What can they do about this? Absolutely nothing, obviously.
"A-Are they really going to kill themselves?!" A child questioned.
A little girl screamed. "SIS! DON'T! PLEASE!"
Mariabel looked back down to her watch. "Come on… Come on… Do it Nina."
After a few seconds of quiet, Nina held Wyatts other hand, slipping the nightlock from him.
"T-Together." She hesitantly nodded.
Silence once more. They slowly lifted their hands to their faces, nightlock in hand… Ready for the outcome.
Will they both die… or will the Capitol have no choice but to let both of them li-,
Suddenly though, Wyatt quickly gripped his chest before beginning to scream. Nina jumped back, horrified.
"Wyatt?" She rushed over to him.
Suddenly, he collapsed to the floor… and everything else blurred out to me. Nina screamed his name. A cannon boomed. Nina was proclaimed the victor of the 96th Hunger Games.
Wyatt… Died…
Plan… Failed…
Mariabel rushed to her room, kicking over a chair and throwing things across my room, screamed in anger. "HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN!? HOW!?" She screamed.
Soon, Nella walked in. She may have been calm, but her eyes were widened and horrified.
"M-Mariabel? Something wrong?" She asks.
Mariabel only rushed right past her, still enraged. Running into the bathroom she turned on the sink and looked in the mirror.
"Someway, somehow… They saw it coming… W-What does it mean?" She asked herself.
Her pounded, she sighed before punching the mirror. It smashes and blood poured from her knuckles.
"Damn it…" She cursed.
And so it begins. The opening chapter to a SYOT.
