Hello! So this is a crossover of the Hunger Games: Catching Fire & Skulduggery Pleasant. I have had this idea in my head for while now and I finally decided to do it, please write reviews of what you think!
Also… who cried while reading the Dying of the light? I did! BEST ENDING EVER!
There was no light only darkness, it surrounded me like a cacoon, no way of escaping. And then I was pulled out of that darkness into the real world with faces staring down at me. A Brown haired girl was sitting on the bed, she had a long side plat and she stared at me with curiosity. She had beautiful features and a nice tan, and her face was soft and gentle. There was a boy beside her he was standing with his arms crossed, his blond short hair stood up almost like fletchers.
She could he his muscles in his arms and he smiled down at me with comforting eyes. "Hey she's waking up!" he remarked. She looked back at the girl she didn't smile but I could see the warmth in her eyes. "Hi," she said, she wasn't very talkative, "um, hi" I said, "where am I?" I asked started to take in the fact that she couldn't remember a thing from a couple of days before.
"Well we want to know why you're here" the boy stood up suddenly and made his way to the door "I'm going to go get Haymitch and Effie," once he left the girl then shifted on the bed so she sat cross legged. "Do you have a name?" I sat up and frowned at her "of course I have a name!" I remarked "and it is?" I hesitated "Valkyrie Cain," she smiled for the first time and held out her hand "I'm Katniss" I took her hand and we shook and exchanged smiles. The boy from earlier came back into the room with two people following.
There was a man in his late 30s in a while buttoned up shirt and sandy long hair jut below his ears, and following him was a woman, and she wore the most ridiculous outfit I had ever seen! She wore a short dress that was frilly and going all over the place, it was hot pink and her hair was in a disco style hair-do.
I was bunched right up and was dyed a light shade of pink and she worse far too much make up for her liking, and although she hated to admit it, she wore it well. "Hello dear!" she made her way to the bed standing beside Katniss, "hello," I said, "I hear your name is Valkyrie Cain, is that correct?" I was surprised that she knew my name before I had even told her! Did someone tell her? "Yes, that's right" the man from earlier spoke up, "alright Effie, what's all this about? Why is she here!" his voice was rough and I could smell the sent of booze from where I was sitting.
The woman named Effie straightened her posture slightly and spoke. "I was told that for the 75th Hunger Games, they wanted something different, so they decided to bring two new people into the games, and Valkyrie here is one of them!" I tried to process all of that information, but there was one thing bugging me. "What is the Hunger Games?"
After I was told about the Hunger Games, fear made its way to my core. Kids killing each other in an arena, only one winner! She wanted no part in this, but it looked like she had little choice. They explained that this year was special, every previous winning tribute would go to the Games again, and that's why she was here, to make things special. But who would be the other? Effie said they chose two people, they said its probably someone I know… but who?
Everyone had left except Katniss, she offered to stay and answer any other questions, she told me that the boy she first saw was Peeta, they were both tributes from last year. She also asked some questions herself, like about her family and where she lived and her weapon. She answered all of them. She decided she would stick close to Katniss; she didn't seem much older than herself.
After being given some clothes to change into, she quickly changed and came out, she was wearing black jeans and a forest green and a large grey cardigan. She walked out of the room with Katniss by her side. They walked the corridors of the large apartment, or should I say mansion? I could smell foods of all sorts and only just realised how hungry I actually was. Then she heard the voices of Effie, Haymitch and another voice. It was familiar, she just couldn't remember who it was. As they got closer and closer the voices got louder and became clearer, the mystery voice was still there. It sounded like velvet, and there was only one person who had that voice. They entered the room of tables, chairs and food and there stood Effie, Haymitch and a man who wore an exquisite suit and a Fedora was placed on his head.
"Skulduggery?"
