AN: Ah, the Careers. Brutal bloody, killing machines, right? Wrong. They had friends and family who wanted to see them come home. Friends and family who were heartbroken when they were killed. And so, I am creating this collection of six one-shots, along with a word to remember each of the Careers by.
On to Glimmer!
-Girl with a Flower Crown
DISCLAIMER: Clove would've been the the main character if I owned the Hunger Games.
oOo
District One's Justice Building is one of the prettiest places in the District has to offer, and, as this is the place that provides luxury items, it is extremely beautiful.
Even more beautiful, however, is the the tall blonde girl with sea-green eyes who is currently sitting daintily on a plush velvet couch in the place previously mentioned.
She has just volunteered for the Seventy-Fourth Annual Hunger Games, and feels very proud of herself for doing so.
See how she lifts her chin up high; how she can't stop looking at a mirror every few seconds?
Those are marks of her arrogance.
She knows that she's pretty, and she can fight well, too. There's no reason why she can't win. Actually, she knows that she will win. That's why she volunteered, after all.
Others are not so pleased, however.
At this moment her parents rush in, bringing with them a wave of despair and sadness.
For the first time ever, the girl is doubting herself, and she doesn't like it. She quickly reminds herself that she isn't going to die, and the odd feeling shrinks a little, but is still there, like a weight in her chest.
"Oh, Glim," says the girl's mother. "What are you going to do now?"
The girl is confused. Why aren't they excited for her?
They should be cheering and congratulating her on her bravery for volunteering, not moping around!
Could it be?
Could it be that her parents didn't want her to volunteer.
Why?
Why would you not want your daughter to compete for riches and honour and safety?
Sure, it was a possibility that she could die, but if she thought that she wouldn't come back then she wouldn't have volunteered, right?
After the girl's parents leave, her (current) best friend walks in and embraces the girl in a tight hug.
"Come back." Is the only sentence spoken for fifteen minutes, until it it is time for Satin Bryte to leave.
The girl is alone.
"Glimmer Belcourt, please walk outside." A cool, commanding voice instructs.
The girl stands up and turns towards the door.
Glimmer Belcourt.
The pretty one.
oOo
So how was it? I won't know unless you review.
Thank you for reading, and keep an eye out for the next chapter, which will be about Marvel.
Stay awesome!
