Mace Andora


"Wake up Mace." My little sister Echo said.

I jumped out of bed, it was eleven o'clock. In three hours I would be volunteering to go in to the arena and fight to the death. I would undoubtedly win, I has been training all my life for this, and since I was eighteen, this was my last chance to volunteer.

I threw on some clothes my mother Katana had left out for me and followed Echo downstairs for breakfast. Echo was wearing a lovely floaty pink dress. She looked pretty, my mother always made sure of that. I always looked good at the reapings, until the training accident that left me with a jagged scat across my face. My mother was horrified and would try to cover it up, but my father, Victor, said that it would make me look stronger. He knew best, he was a previous victor, and the reason I was volunteering this year. The only downside was for the Quarter Quell I had to take someone I loved into the arena with me.

My father walked in to the room. "You both have an hour or so to train before the reapings, go now and then go straight to the reapings." He ordered, Echo rushed away. "And Mace," he added as I was about to follow, "make sure you volunteer this year."

"I will." I replied. I would not disappoint my father.

Echo and I trained furiously for the next two hours before going to the reapings. I felt a little sorry for her, eventually she was going to have to go in to the arena, my father would make her, and she was so innocent, she wouldn't stand much of a chance, even with all the training.

When we got to the reapings Echo went to stand with her friends Alicia, Hero and Posie. I went to stand with my friend Xavier after wishing Quinn good luck, she came up with a sarcastic answer as always.

"Are you volunteering this year?" Xavier asked.

"Yep," I replied, "I'm gonna win this year, you just watch."

Xavier nodded but said nothing. He looked up to me, he didn't want anything bad to happen.

An incredibly fat woman waddled on stage.

"Welcome, District one to the reapings for the 100th Hunger Games!" She babbled. She walked over to the bowl with all the girls names in.

"I volunteer!" Some girl shouted out. She looked an easy target. She has green eyes and milk-chocolate coloured hair. I had seen her at school, she was sweet and nice to everyone. She walked timidly up to the stage.

"What's your name and who will you be taking into the arena with you?" the woman asked.

"Reese Tavian and I will take Clarissa." Clarissa walked up on stage, she was a previous victor, like my father.

"Now for the boys!"

"I voulenteer!" I shouted out before anyone else could, I saw the fear flash across Reese's eyes, it made me smile, "I am Mace Andora and I will be taking Echo into the arena with me!" I walked up to the stage with Echo, she was skipping and holding a pink bear that our mother had given her, she looked like she had no idea what the games were.

We said goodbye to our mother and father before being escorted to the train. My mother was crying slightly,but my father was very proud of us, I knew he would be, that's why I picked Echo, even though it made me a little sad inside.


Reece Tavian


I was woken up by my two puppies licking my face.

"Get off!" I giggled, laughing as I pushed them aside gently. I stopped giggling when I realised that I had to be at the reapings in two hours. My parents were forcing me to volunteer this year. I was seventeen, so I still had one year left but my parents wanted me to volunteer this year, just in case someone beat me to it.

"Reece!" My mother called, "Get downstairs now!" My mother usually treated me nicely, but sometimes she could be a little mean. I quickly put on my soft white cotton halter dress and my gold bangles. They were my great grandma's and they were my good luck token for when I volunteer.

When I came downstairs breakfast was already on the table.

"You need to go and train now." My father insisted. I had to be prepared for two o'clock, so I had been training hard for days now. I hated that I had to volunteer, I still don't know who I'm taking in to the arena yet.

I met up with my friends Natalie and Alice. Natalie had red hair and green eyes while Alice had black hair and blue eyes.

We trained for a full hour before walking to the reapings together.

"Good luck." Natalie said, she knows I don't want to volunteer.

"Welcome, District one to the reapings for the 100th Hunger Games!" A very large woman babbled as she walked on stage. She walked slowly over to the bowl containing thousands of slips of girls names. Alice elbowed me, reminding me what I had to do.

"I volunteer!" I choked out, walking carefully up to the stage.

"What's your name and who will you be taking into the arena with you?" the woman asked.

"Reece Tavian and I will take Clarissa" Clarissa was my aunt and she was a previous victor, so at least she had some experience.

"Now for the boys!"

"I volunteer!" Some kid said. As he walked to the stage, I saw how strong and big he looked. He was about six foot five and very muscular. He had cold, grey eyes and would be handsome if it wasn't for the long, jagged scar across his face. He had dark brown hair and tanned skin. Fear flashed across my eyes, I hoped he didn't see it. As he smiled, he looked truly ruthless.

"I am Mace Andora and I will be taking Echo into the arena with me!" Mace excitedly. His sister Echo was only twelve, she was holding a teddy bear as she skipped innocently on to the stage with him.

I said goodbye to my family and friends, my friends giving me reassuring hugs and repeatedly telling me that I would be coming home. My parents went over things with me that would give me an advantage over other tributes in the games. They were all so sure that I would win.

I looked at district one for the last time before my aunt and I were escorted on to the train.


I have got some arena ideas and done a poll! Please vote for which idea you like best! I hope you like this chapter!
