Tris Prior Meets Katniss Everdeen
(I Don't Own the Divergent or Hunger Games Characters!)
Chapter 1 Intro.
Tris Pov.
"Tris, wake up." He says silently. "Just 5 more minutes," I complain. "Come on Tris we don't want to make Max upset by being late today." I releculently get up and kiss my boyfriend. "Morning," I say sleepy. "Morning," Tobias replies. I quickly take a shower and put on a pair of ripped black jeans, a black off the shoulder shirt, and a pair of black tall converse. I put on smokey eye shadow, black eyeliner, and black mascara then walk out to see Tobias already dressed and ready to go.
He smiles and gives me a quick kiss and we walk down to the conference room where Max told us to meet him, hand in hand. When we arrive we go sit down in the only seats left open. I look around and see that me, Tobias, Christina, Will, Zeke, Shauna, Uriah, Marlene, Lynn, and Eric were sitting down around the table and Max was sitting at the head. "I'm glad you all could make it here today. Or else you would have been factionless." No one says anything. "Well," Max continues, "I gathered all you here today to speak about a problem that is occurring outside the fence." If I looked around I would most likely see the same expression that I am wearing, wide eyes and mouths hanging open. But I couldn't take my eyes off of Max. He looks at each and everyone of us as he speaks. "Chicago has come across another area. Another government. Another world."
He clears his throat but he already has everyone's attention. "The other government is ruled horribly and we would like to do something about it. This new world is known as Panem. Centuries ago Panem was peaceful and was separated into 13 districts. Each district had a purpose for the Capitol. The Capitol ran Panem and got all the luxuries while in the districts people were starving on the streets. Almost 75 years ago the districts had an uprising. The Capitol had war with the districts and destroyed the 13th district to control the others. The Capitol also created the Hunger Games. The Hunger Games were when 2 young adults from each district, a male and a female tribute from the age of 12 to 18 were reaped and went to the Capitol to go into an arena and fight to the death. Only one would come out alive and that tribute became a victor rewarded and bathed in riches with no more suffering on their part. And got a big, beautiful house to live in at the Victors Village." I couldn't believe my ears! Fight to the death! Almost 75 YEARS! 12 TO 18! They haven't lived yet!
Max looks at our horror struck faces and continued to speak. "But now that we know about this nation and about the Hunger Games we are going to stop it. All 10 of you will get on a train and go to the fence. Once at the fence you will go on foot to the closest district to us. District 12. You will be surviving in the woods until you get to the Victors Village and will be looking for Haymitch Abernathy's house and will tell him about us and what we plan to do." "And what exactly do we plan to do?" asks Lynn. "We plan on breaking them out of Panem and welcoming them with open arms here in Chicago. Of course most are going to be Divergents but from now on the Divergents will just be able to choose what faction they want like anyone else. But they would have to have a separate test for the fear landscape of course." Everyone was silent so Max huffed and continued. "Well, the people of Panem will have an aptitude test and choose where they would like to stay if they are at the right age or older then they would go through initiation and if they make it they stay, if they don't they are factionless. And I know what you are thinking, what if the elders choose to be in Dauntless? Well we will tell them what they had to do in initiation then they make their choice. If they are too young then they would go with their parents. Married couples would go into the aptitude test together.
"Now, what you will be doing. You will be studying about the districts and the Capitol on the train ride then once you find Haymitch you tell him what I have told you about getting out of Panem and then you start taking people out of the districts setting free the districts one by one and sent to Chicago on the train. Just make sure you don't get caught by the Capitol and that you blend in. Whom all that is going to the 75th Hunger Games will be announced on August 31st. You will have to of gotten most of the people of districts 12 through 8 done by then and on a train to Chicago. If the Capitol starts to get suspicious then it would be a good idea to just skip around in the districts. Just make sure that you avoid districts 1 and 2 and the Capitol. Today is March 3rd and you will be leaving tonight at 12:00 pm so that you can travel in the morning. I suggest you pack whatever you can carry on your back and some weapons. The weapons you will be taking will be in the closed off training room and you must only use it to survive in the wilderness and to fight the peace keepers. Good luck and meet me at the railroad tracks at 11:45 to make sure we have everything. You are dismissed." We all walk out without further comment.
All of my friends and I, plus Eric (uhhh), are going into Panem. Unbelievable. We all head back to our apartments and pack for the long and hard journey ahead of us and decide to meet at Zeke's place after packing.
Katniss Pov.
I wake up surprisingly without a nightmare and head downstairs to the kitchen. "Good morning Katniss," my little sister Prim says. "Morning." She smiles as I sit down next to her and except my breakfast of scrambled eggs, toast, and bacon from our mother. "So I was thinking that I could go hunting this afternoon." "That would be wonderful but," my mother stops abruptly. "What?" I ask. "What?!" "But," my sister continues, "your stylist are coming with Effie today to have an interview with Caesar Flickerman." I groan loudly. I was really hoping to go hunting today but I guess that couldn't happen now. I get up and put my plate in the sink and tell my family that I am going to talk to Gale. I walk out of the house still putting on my lightweight jacket and heading to the Hob. I look around and spot my best friend. "Hey," I say tapping his shoulder. "Hey Catnip. How are you?" "Fine. How are you doing?" "Fine I just am running low on cash. We will have to go hunting. Soon." "Well I can't make it today because of an….interview. But we could go tomorrow." "Great. See you tomorrow then." "Bye." "Bye."
I walk to my house knowing that the prep team would be there in about 2 minutes. And sure enough when I had put my shoes and jacket up the doorbell rang. "TRIS! YOUR PREP TEAM IS HERE!" Shouts my mother. I head down the stairs and am engulfed in hugs by my prep team. "Oh Katniss it is so good to see you again," says Venia. "It has been too long," comments Octavia. "My you have grow so much," adds Flavius. "Hey guys. Yes it has been too long hasn't it," I say with a fake smile. "Hey, where is my Girl on Fire?" "Hey Cinna. Nice to see you again." I say before I hug him. "I missed you," I whisper in his ear. "Missed you too Girl on Fire. Well then, let's get started shall we?" My prep team takes me back to my room to get me ready for Cinna. They go on and on about the Capitol and all the gossip they have over heard as they are plucking my eyebrows, painting my nails, and moisturizing my feet. Once they are done torturing me they leave and Cinna comes in.
"Hey Girl on Fire." "Hey Cinna. What outfit do you plan on me wearing today?" I have always loved Cinna's are fashionable yet comfy and unique yet...me. He goes over to a hanger on the wall and pulls out my outfit. Cinna puts me in a pair of white jeans, a hot pink tight t-shirt with short sleeves and sequins at the top, black knee boots, and a short dark jean button up jacket. I put it on and am relieved that the boots don't have a huge heel like Effie's. For my hair Cinna puts it in a fishtail braid down the side and adds a feather hair piece to it. The hair piece has 6 long thin feathers and 1 short thick feather. The colors are black for the big one, black with pink stripes for a little one, zebra for one, white for another, hot pink for one, and for the last one it has the effect of getting lighter starting with dark red and going slowly down to light red, hot pink, light pink, then the bottom is white.
My jewelry consist of light pink feather earrings, a white, black, and pink paracord survival necklace, and my charm bracelet. My bracelet was a gift for my 5th birthday by my father and I haven't worn it because I didn't want to lose it. Over the years I have collected charms from everyone I care about. It has a charm from Peeta, bread, one from Madge, a circle with the word best friends forever, she has the other one to go with it, a cat from Prim, a bottle of medicine from my mother, a peanut butter cup from also Prim but she said that Buttercup got it for me, an angel from my father before he passed, a bow and arrow from Gale, a bowl of soup from Greasy Sae, a flame from Cinna, and a crown for surviving the Hunger Games from the Capitol. Cinna also puts my mockingjay pin in the pocket of my jacket for safe keeping.
Once I am all dressed and ready to go we go outside to wait for the camera crew. When I walk out I see Peeta and Haymitch sitting in 2 chairs surrounding a table and drinking smoothies. I sit in the last chair while everyone takes their places. "Here you are Miss." Says a young woman that looks about to be the age of 25 as she hands me a smoothie. "Thanks." She nods in return then goes to finish her errands. I take a sip of the smoothie and it taste like banana, strawberry, and watermelon all mixed up together. It taste great!
Finally the cameras turn on and we begin the interview with Ceasar Flickerman.
Tris Pov.
Each of us get 1 large lightweight camping/traveling backpack to put all of our stuff in. I pack a flashlight with extra batteries and another flashlight on a keychain, sunscreen, a first aid kit, a compass, map, bandanna, mug and spoon, thermos, bug spray, my personal products like hairbrush, toothbrush and toothpaste, and my phone. I put my clothes in vacuum space bags to save space in my backpack and pack all my clothes up. I put in them 2 swim suits, 3 tank tops, 4 t-shirts, 3 nike shorts, 2 jean shorts, 1 crop pants, 1 crop top, 2 sports bras, 3 pairs of socks, a sweat shirt, leather jacket, jean jacket, sweat pants, jeans, 1 pair of sandals, 1 pair of flip flops, tennis shoes, combat boots, rain boots, a vest for the cold, and other necessary items. I pull out my combat boots, a tank top, a pair of jeans shorts, and my jacket to wear. I also put on my survival necklace and bracelet that Tobias and Zeke made for all of us then I grab a sleeping bag and hook it to my backpack.
"Hey. Ready to go?" asks Tobias. "No. I really don't want to go. I want to stay here and spend my time with you and my friends all summer." I whine. Tobias laughs making me smile. "Well at least we can go together. Hum?" He says. "Yea." "I love you Tris." "I love you Tobias." We kiss and then grab our stuff and head to the training room to get our weapons.
Once we get to the training room I see everyone that is going plus Max. "Oh good. You're here now." He says, his voice booming through out the whole room echoing off of the walls. "Now, right down to business. Each of you will have 5 throwing knives, a gun, a package of extra bullets, and a survival knife that goes in your pocket. You may take your phones but they must NOT go outside of the fence! You will be injected with a tracker in your arm so that we will know where you are or if you being held captive. The trackers will not work after August 20th so the rest of the time you will be on your own. And remember, you only have so many bullets so don't waste them! You all have a map of where all the districts are and where the railroad tracks are in them so you won't need help on that. For the rest of the information, here is a pack," he says handing it to Tobias, "and it will have all the necessary information you will need for this mission. Hand in the pack to the guard at the fence along will all of your phones and other electronic devices. Good luck! See you at 11:45." He nods his head and leaves. "Why are we the ones that have to go!?" yells Christina. No one speaks.
Katniss Pov.
After the interview I head into my house and start washing the makeup off and change into my regular clothes. I decide that since the interview didn't last as long as I thought it would I would go find Gale and ask if he wanted to go hunting. I head to his house and knock on the door. "Hi. Katniss, please, please come in." Gales mom Hazelle greets me. "GALE! KATNISS IS HERE!" she shouts. Gale walks down the stairs from the attic, also known as his room, and smiles when he sees me. "Hey Catnip. I thought you had an interview?" "I did but it is done now so I thought we could go hunting. If that is okay with you of course." "Yea, just let me go get my jacket." He runs up the stairs and he comes back down with his jacket on ready to go. "Bye Hazelle." "Bye Katniss."
Me and Gale walk to the fence and climb underneath it. Once we get far enough away from the fence I pull my bow and arrow out of an empty log and give Gale's his. First we go around and set some snares and other traps for possible food options and then we go hunting with our bows. Time skip
Once we are done we have 5 squirrels, 8 fish, fresh berries and herbs, a duck, and a rabbit. We split the food evenly and then head home for the night.
