(A/N)
So after reading this amazing book, and by reading so many amazing fanfics, I've decided 2 try writing one. It's the plot line of the hunger games, mixed with the TDI/A characters. So here it goes…
Disclaimer: I do not own TDI/A or the hunger games.
TDI/A 4ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It started out like any other morning; I got out of bed, put some clothes on, and headed out to meet Justin. Little did I know that today would change my life.
I got up from the queen-sized bed that my mother, my sister, Jezebel, and I shared. Jez was curled up against my mom like a cat. I gave them a small smile before heading out. I was walking silently across the district, making sure no one would follow me. I then rethought that, and didn't care. It's not like anybody would rat me out, I am one of their only hopes; I hunt and trade, along with Justin, but still they need me. I walked to the electric fence and whoop-de-doo it was on. I took a couple of steps back, and ran full speed towards the fence. I jumped and barely made it over the top of the fence.
The fence was there for protection. They protected us from the hungry, wild animals that lived outside the district, but most of the day it was not powered. I crept quietly to our spot. The hill I shared with Justin was only a mile or so away from the seam. I found him waiting there with a smile, and some bread, cheese, and water.
"Where did u get the bread from?" I asked him.
"Oh I persuaded the baker's wife to give me a bit."
I laughed at my good friend. He's a handsome guy, he's 17, and can persuade a lot of people by just giving them a smile. We chatted while eating our feast. Yes, believe it or not this was a feast for us. Normally, we have to dig up some edible roots, or pick berries for breakfast.
"Moving on to a more serious topic, the reaping is today" Justin said. I gave a small grimace and nodded.
"I wonder who the unlucky pair will be?"
I wondered. The reaping was an event that all of Panem celebrated. 1 boy and 1 girl from the 12 districts were chosen to participate in the Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is an annual killing event. You are sent into an arena with one objective: to kill everyone else and be the last one standing.
"I don't know, but Courtney what if we ran away from this? Just the two of us."
"Justin, you know we can't. We have our families to think of."
"I know. Let's…just go hunting."
We were able to catch a few fish, and some rabbits. I was also able to dig up some roots and berries.
We walked down to the Seam in silence. Everyone was already gathered awaiting Effie Periwinkle's announcement.
"Hello, district 12! Welcome to the annual 75th Hunger Games!"
Nobody clapped for everybody dreaded this time of year.
"Well here is Haymitch!"
Haymitch Delfargo was the only person to have ever won the games for district 12. A quiet whisper passed through the crowd as he drunkenly walked up on stage.
"Well ladies first!" boomed Effie.
At this point I was worried for myself, and Justin. I had put in about 20 papers with my name on it. That was the max since I was ohnly 16. Justin had 30 papers because he was 18, and the additional papers to keep his family full.
Please let it not be me! Please let it not be me! I silently prayed that it wasn't me.
My prayers were proven true for it wasn't my name called out.
The name called out was Jez's.
What'd u guys think?? Horrible? Okay??? review please!!
