Hey! This is my first story, please review!
I wrote this ages ago, I'm not changing it much
I don't own The Hunger Games, Suzanne is amazing!
I'm sorry if mine is boring, "I" is in there a lot so please just give it a try!
This all may seem too good to be good at the beginning, like everything is perfect for the character, but there's a story behind that!
I am sat alone, in the middle of a jungle; I have no weapons, supplies or anything. Horrible mutant monkeys start crowding around me. They pounce and start to tear me limb from limb. I wake up screaming. "It was just a dream!" I say to myself.
My name is Cecelia Ezmwyth, I am an only child from District 7! I hate the Hunger Games and I don't want to see an innocent child slaughtered on my T.V!
I look at the time, its 7AM. I walk out of my small bedroom; there are only three rooms in or house. The main one is a mixture of a lounge and a kitchen and the other two rooms are my bedroom and my parents' bedroom. I put on my dark brown trousers, green top, boots and jacket. I start to jog out to the woods and eventually get to the section of trees that are being chopped down today.
There I find about twenty workers there early today with a massive load of axes, bows and sheaths of arrows. I get two axes and throw one into a tree. I put the other on the floor, tip down on some dried up, hard mud and balance on it with one foot while chopping at the tree. I love showing off, it makes me feel special! When I finish cutting that tree down I remember that it is my job to fight off any dangerous animals! Squirrels, birds and stuff are okay but my job is to fight off animals like bears and wolves!
Ever since I was little I've been good with axes. I can throw, chop with and balance on axes! I was the best in my year so I got chosen to have the job of protecting trees from bad animals with a bow and arrows.
I pick up one of the sheaths of arrows and put it over my shoulder. I pick up the bow in my left hand. I am right-handed but I use my right hand for chopping so if I see a bear or something I will just drop the axe or lodge it in the tree, put my bow in my other hand and then shoot the animal.
After I've finished chopping my first tree, I go to another tree and start to chop. I look up into the tree and there is a bird's nest. I put down my weapons and climb the tree. As I carefully lift the nest, the mother flies over. I quickly lean over the branch and bass the nest to one of the workers below. The mother bird follows her nest as it gets put into a small nesting box. One of the workmen takes the box away, to be put up in the village.
Someone comes over and says that it is half past twelve so we all must go home to get ready for the reaping. The reaping is at one o'clock. As I live quite close to the centre it takes half an hour to get there so I only have one hour to get ready.
When I get in I go straight up to my room a pretty light blue dress on my bed, the one my mother wore for her reapings and see a small bath of hot water next to it. I undress and get into the bath.
I spend half an hour scrubbing all the dirt and stuff off my skin and washing my hair. When I get out I put on my dress and slip on my little black shoes. I brush my hair and put it in a long plait down my back!
When I am done I walk with my mother down to the town square. She stands with the other over 18's while I go and join the line of people waiting to have their blood taken.
The man takes my finger and zaps it with a little thing in his hand. I push my finger down onto the book next to my name. He scans it with his little pen thing. I go and stand in a line with the other girls my age.
I look left and right, I can't see any of my friends which scares me a bit, I'd like their support! Suddenly there is a huge bang and someone screams.
Please review!
