PART ONE: The Beginning

Chapter 1

"Welcome, welcome, everyone; to the the 48th annual Hunger Games! Soon one a boy and a girl will be chosen to fight in an Arena to the death!" Everybody is watching her, a woman trying too look good in a dress that can't be missed. I am Kevin Darwins by the way. I stand there with my family in a group of alot of people, being prepared for the tributes who participate in The Hunger Games. I come from a place called District 12, the district of mining. Alot of people are very poor here… Just as always Effie (the girl in the dress on the stage) Shows all the people a video how the Hunger Games came here. I've seen it so many times, i don't even want to watch it. When the video finally ends, Effie starts talking again: "Well, lets pick the tributes then!" She smiles and then se walks and picks a card. "Just as always, ladies first" She sais. "The female tribute for district 12 will be… Hannah Arbington!" Everyone looks at her. She is a small girl with black hair. 1 half of her face was burnd in a accident. She almost stats crying but holds herself. She walks slowly up the stairs and gives Effie a hand. She walks to the other side. "And for the boys tribute…" She picks a card and syas the name: "Kevin Darwins"

When i hear my name, my heart drops. It whas my fith year and i whas 16 at the moment. I walk up to the stage. I look at Hannah, just as always she has a dark and shy look. "Good," Effie continous "These are the tributes for District 12! May the odds be ever in your favoure and happy Hunger Games! Tributes, give eachother a hand." I shake Hannah's hand and is see her crying. Then the guards take me to a room where i can say goodbye to my family…
