Hello Hunger Games fans, first off, this is not only my first attempt at a Hunger Games fanfic but also at a What if? fic so I'm sorry if it's not very good. I'll accept any kind of review so give me you're honest opinion. Also, this is following the book, not the movie.

My thoughts raced as I slept under the base of Lover Girl's tree with the rest of the careers. The only thing that I could think about is that I SIGHED UP for this. Sure, a career wins pretty much every year and I've been training for this so the odds are more in my favor then those from background districts… but, there's six of us a game… plus, Lover Boy this time. I don't know what Cato was even thinking with him. Anyways, there's seven of us with about the same odds... and there can only be one winner.

What if I die here? What if I never get to see my familly again? What if… buzzzzzzzzzzzzz… What was that? Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzz… I shot up gripping my bow and arrows tightly and looked around. Are so called gaurd had fallen asleep. Figures.

I looked up at the tree to make sure our hostage didn't excape. She was still there but that wasn't it. Oh no, those can't be… they are… Tracker Jackers.

I was imediately on my feet and did something only a career would even THINK about doing while in the Hunger Games. I put my fingers in my mouth and gave a loud whistle waking all the other careers up. Just in time too as the nest collided with the ground. I didn't dare look back as I made a run for the life. They can't go after you if you're underwater. I just have to make it to the lake and I'll be safe. It's a long way though and it feels even longer when you're being persued by mutts.

My legs seemed to move even faster as the Cornucopia came into veiw. The Cornucopia's just a few feet to the lake. I heard someone scream behind me but I wasn't stupid enough to look back and see who it was, I just kept my eyes on the top of the Cornucopia as it got closer and in fuller veiw.

I heard a canon go off… shit. Please tell me that was 12… either of them really.

Finally, I made it to the lake and dove in staying under. I kept count as I heard more splashes. 1… 2… 3… 4… 5… nothing else came. That's six including me. I manage to open my eyes despite being under water and looked up. The tracker jackers were gone. I swam back up catching my breath as my braided blone hair clinged to my skin and jacket. Luckily, my bow and quiver of arrows were still slung over my shoulder as I swam out of the lake trying to dry myself off.

Stupid 12, she's gonna be the next one to go if she's still alive, that's for sure. "You ok, Glimmer?"

I turned around to see my district partner, Marvel, coming out of the water as well. "No," I hissed in annoyance. "That stupid lover girl got away." I kept a head count and more of the careers popped out of the water immediately noticing who's missing. "Where's Cato?" I asked panicked because of the canon earlier.

"I don't think he made it out." Clove commented with the same snide attitude she's had at least for as long as I've known her not even sounding the slightest bit concerned for her district partner.

"It's all 12's fault you know." I hissed before holding up my bow. "She's after this but she's not going to get it. Not if I have anything to say about it."

I know, super short. Prologues usually are. Reveiw!
