Hunger games part 1
-
I woke up with a blinding headache, where was I?
I closed my eyes and it all came back to me. My name was nova, I came from a mining town, their was a crowd, I was chosen for the gam...
I jumped up fully awake, they had used a tazzer on me after I started shouting about being chosen! The crowd, it was the crowd of people still eligible for the hunger games!
I turned around quickly taking in my surroundings, a pure white room with a bed and dresser.
Their was a mirror too and I looked horrible...
I had a puffy black eye and my shirt was torn from where I had been tackled.
I defiantly hadn't gone down easily...
I explored the rooms walls with my hands, looking for a crack, a line, anything!
I found absolutely nothing...
I fell on the bed and looked up. Their was no escaping my fate.
I went towards the dresser and opened it. Their was a deep blue shirt and a black coat with jeans, they were nicer than anything I had owned.
Anything I owned I thought with a grimace. My parents were probably crying at home with my younger brother and sister.
I changed my cloths and saw that I still had my pendent on.
I griped it and remembers my home.

It was a small house on the outskirts of a bigger city, we were lucky to have had what we did.
We lived by the lake and had a small garden, my parents had own a physical therapy clinic nearby and worked a lot.
We had good business, helping the miners recover from strains and injuries. I hadn't really taken after them though.
Sure I knew the basics and all but it wasn't my hobby.
My brother and sister were twins, young and innocent but they would have to change over he years.

A door opened and I came to. A man was standing their.
"You have 5 minuets" he said gruffly and stepped aside.
My mother rushed in with tears in her eyes.
I hugged her as she sober into my shoulder. My father walked in as well and started talking immediately.
"Nova, you have to make it through this! Listen to the coaches and come back to us."
"I'll try dad" I whispered with my eyes closed. "Take care of Elle and John, ok?"
He was silent and hugged me as my mother let go.
"You have to come back" she whispered "you have to"
"I will mom, I will"
"Times up, next" the man said coldly.
"Go" I whispered to them and they left silently.
"Next" he said.
Solstice and walked in and I smiled and embraced her warmly.
She was my only true friend in the city, but it never went past friendship.
I started to take off my pendent but she covered my hand when I tried to take it off. "Keep it to remember us" she said with a sad smile.
I nodded silently and she hugged me again.
"Come back" she whispered then left.
