Not Alone: The 130th Hunger Games SYOT CLOSED

by Christine Mulheim

The Gamemakers are bored and that's never a good thing. Therefore, they've decided to change these games up a bit. Enter 24 tributes who have been chosen or volunteered as they fight to the death in one of the most unique games yet! SYOT CLOSED

1. Introduction

Cyra Gleams' POV (District Eight mentor)

I am in a blissful dreamland inside my mind, where the Hunger Games never existed and the rebellion never happened. That I never had to go into the arena and face my darkest fear and become a murderer. Everyone lived in harmony and our government isn't corrupt. It's perfect, too perfect.

My alarm goes off with a loud clatter, startling me from my fantasy world. Of course, this world is reality. In this world, two kids from each district have to fight to the death in the Hunger Games. And, unfortunately, this year will be my fifth year as a mentor. For the past four years, I've had to lead kids to their doom. Every year, they'd die in on the first day, not even making it into the top sixteen. But maybe this year will be different. Perhaps, I could have a victor.

Even though this is the 130th Hunger Games, not a Quarter Quell, the head Gamemakers said that it would be different than any other games that Panem has held. I'm skeptical on how they could have beat the 125th Games, which I won, where all of the tributes had to face their darkest fear, mine being wolves. Everyday for the past five years, my dreams have haunted me of my nine days in the arena. I can never stop feeling guilty about the spear shot at the District Seven girl, Jazmine Vierra. Even though she was a lunatic who was obsessed with murder, a life is still a life.

Honestly, I'm completely terrified about what the Gamemakers are going to do to make this year special. It's probably to make up for last year, where the victor won by default because the other one was eaten by mutts. He killed himself soon after, leaving the capital without a victory tour. But one thing is for certain, I pity the tributes who will be in this year's games.

Hey readers! Welcome to this story, whether you are new, or returning from my last one. This is an SYOT, so the form is on my profile. Please PM the form to me and it is first come, first serve. Sorry about the short chapter, they will get longer. But I can't write much if I don't have any tributes! Thanks and reviews are appreciated!
