A Game With Anne Sparke
This is a one-shot with a character based loosely off of me as the main character. Suzanne Collins owns the Hunger Games, I'm just in them. Also, this is not my real name, just a name I like. Also, I actually have shot a bow IRL, that's why Anne's weapon of choice is a bow.

I flash back to how I got in this mess.
"The female tribute is Anne Sparke", Daphne, our escort said. I let out a shriek. This shouldn't be happening, my name is only in there twice! I walked up to the stage, still disbelieving. I was in luck when my district partner is called. I didn't know him at all. At least I don't have to watch a friend die, I thought. Then a familiar face said, "I volunteer!" Oh no. It was my best friend Sean Bronze. How could he do this to me?

I examine the arena. Oh snap. It's a forest. I can't climb trees to save my life, I never had practice. There aren't a lot of trees in District 3. I hope there's a cave. That would be my only source of shelter. I spot a backpack a couple meters away from me. Then I see a bow. I practiced a bow in training before. Then I see Sean. He's looking intently at a mace in the middle of the bloodbath. But, he's reasonable, so he won't go for it. I smile a bit and remember some of our fun times, and then I frown. At least one of us has to die in these games.

I dash towards the backpack and the bow. I'm sort of fast, so I get to the backpack first. Luckily nobody else spots the bow and quiver of arrows, so I get that too. I manage to dodge the guy from 6 who came at me with a club. Then I run into the forest. After running a long distance, I open my backpack. I was really lucky. I have 2 kiwis, 2 oranges, a full water bottle, a vial of poison, and a jacket. I put on the jacket because I know it will get cold as it gets later. I hear a ting of a sponsor gift. It's a watch. I guess they got it now, because later it will get far more expensive. But still, I can't help but wonder how much it cost. And yet, I think it went to waste, because I'm doomed.
It's the 3rd day in the arena, and I'm doing okay, I guess. But, I am out of food. I guess the sponsors learned their lesson, because if I still had any they would've sent something by now. Then, I hear voices near me. It's the second big alliance. The girl from 9 sends a knife flying towards my head before I can react, and the last thing I register is my cannon.
Sean Bronze saw Anne's face in the sky that night and swore to win for her. He went on a rampage, but then once he killed Julia from District 1, Reef from District 4 sent a trident through his neck. District 3 has lost once again, and Sean & Anne are reunited.
