Okay guys so this is my first Fanfic and I am fairly new to the whole idea but this is my first attempt at writing for a big audience like this site so I hope you like the intro and I will upload more soon!
As I file into the square under the shadow of the justice building a hush falls over the crowd. The mayor stands and welcomes us to the reaping of the 74th annual Hunger Games, and proceeds to recite the history of Panem, the history of the Capitol's defeat of the rebellion of the districts, of the rebellion that caused the creation of the Hunger Games. That caused the Capitol to have even more power over us.
As I stand motionless, willing the reaping to come to an end, the eccentric Capitol born Effie Trinket takes centre stage.
She is overly bright, both in colour and in attitude considering her hand is about to pick the 2 children from district 12 to be sent to die in the sick game the Capitol likes to play with us it's pets.
I am not listening when the girl's name is called, I know there is a long silence, then a scuffle and then, someone is shouting that they volunteer.
'A volunteer?' I think, 'This has never happened before has it? At last not while I've been alive'.
I look up to the stage to see which selfless person has volunteered, my ears are ringing as the girl originally picked to enter the games is carried away kicking and shrieking, by a tall stocky young man, who I only see from behind.
The girl on turns after ascending the steps to the stage and faces the crowd.
As my eyes focus on her sad, tired face, I see it is her.
Katniss Everdeen. The girl in the red plaid dress.
And all of a sudden Effie Trinket is calling out the next name. The name of the boy tribute that will be entering into the 74th annual hunger games alongside Katniss Everdeen and the 22 other tributes being reaped across Panem.
Everyone, turns to look at me, and I realise she has called my name.
I am Peeta Mellark, and I am going to the Hunger Games.
This is only the intro to my story but you can probably see where it is going, please do review! I'm new to this so I need all the help I can get!
