Chapter 1:

"Here, Mum!" I said, dumping a dead body of a rabbit on the table. She looked at it and smiled, despite all the blood that was on it. To have meat in District 12 was a luxury, something not everyone could afford, but thanks to my father training me, I had become a very skilled hunter and gather.

"Thank you, sweetheart. How was the training?" she asked

"I'm getting stronger every day. I can feel it." I answered

"He sure is, his speed, reflexes, reaction timing and strength is beyond any human capability" my father said, coming in, red faced and smiling

"Yeah, if I went into the Hunger Games. I would tear everyone apart" I shouted proudly

"Alright, that's enough, Tyson Galloway. We have lost your brother in the Hunger Games before. I can't lose you as well" Mum said with tears in her eyes.

It was true. The memory in my mind and the emotions that I felt that day, hit me like a brick wall. It was 2 years ago, my brother Tylon, was standing just behind me and as soon as Effie Trinket, District 12's escort had finished her "Happy Hunger Games. And may the odds be ever in your favour" quote in her silly yet amusing Capitol accent, the tributes were about to be reaped, I wasn't paying attention to how the female tribute was but when it came to the male tribute, the name 'Tylon Galloway' name was brought out. I couldn't believe it, my brother walked on, face pale selected to go into the Games. I tried to stop him but he went ahead, I screamed for him to come back but he kept going, until he was standing on the stage next to the Capitol escort, Effie Trinket. He was steered into the Justice Buliding were we would say our goodbyes. We were allowed to have 5 minutes with him. I immediately ran into his arms.

"Listen, Tyson. I want you to train every day. Do you hear me? Everyday! I know that you have skills that I could never dream of. If you were to be chosen, at least then you will be ready for it" Tylon told me, I nodded in agreement

"Pinkie swear?" Tylon pulled out his little finger

"Pinkie swear" I pulled out mine and both of our little fingers connected and we knew we had an understanding. Tylon stood up and managed to get a hug from Mum and Dad and tell him that he loved us all and that to take care of me before the Peacekeepers took us away from him.

"Every day, Tyson" he called out, before the door slammed shut in front of me. We watched him through the tribute parade, he received a 9 in training and he was flawless in his interview. I thought he might have a chance of winning. How wrong I was. The Hunger Games started the next day and this year, it what looked like ruins of a city. Tylon made it to the final 2, I was so happy that he was so close to winning and coming home, but he never realised that the tribute from District 1 was behind him, with a sword. I screamed at the screen but he didn't hear me or see the tribute until the sword's blade was deep in his back. He collapsed on the floor and he uttered one word. His final dying word and it was to me. Everyday. The boom of a cannon told us that he had died. My mum let out a scream of agony, my father threw a chair at the wall. I was in shock, my brother couldn't be dead. To make things worse, at the Victory Tour, I was able to see face to face, the killer of my brother. The coldness and blood lust in his eyes told me that he didn't care. Fury filled up inside me and I wanted to gouge his eyes out with my bare hands but I remained where I was. Besides. I had a promise to keep.

Thanks for reading. To recap, we meet a boy named Tyson Galloway. He has powers that are beyond human capabilities. He has super human strength, speed, stamina and reflexes and now we know that he had a brother that was killed in the Hunger Games two years before.

Again, thanks for reading and I hope that you liked it and you keep reading
