Hello!

I'm a bit new to the Hunger Games fandom. Most people may know me from the Percy Jackson fandom. Yeah, I'm that weird chick that's writing a trilogy?

Anyways, I LOVE the Hunger Games. The trilogy is amazing. Who here's Team Peeta? =)

I've never really seen a story about the very FIRST Hunger Games, so I'll try my best on it.

Will be in the POV of an OC name Katy Grite. (rhymes with right?)

The television beeps. My mother turns it on, then sits on the couch beside me.

Jim Mills, the host of a very popular show in the Capitol, is on. He's decked out in a bright yellow pinstripe suit. He skin is dyed the usual magenta. His deep blue listick is smudged. I've always thought how the citizens of the Capitol look so silly from the rest of Panem.

A picture of a ruined Justice Building appears behind Jim.

"It's happened, people. District 13 has finally collapsed. The Dark Days are over. Now, President Ridds would like to make a special announcement..." The camera switches over the President Ridds, standing behind a podium in front of a huge crowd. She's dressed in her usual tight black gown, which makes her pale skin look white. You can see the dark etchings of her lacy tattoo near her eyes clearly. Her bright green hair glowed in the spotlight. I've always respected President Ridds. She's done what's best for the districts.

President Ridds took out a piece of paper. "'Due to the Dark Days,'" she read, "'I am issuing that two children from each district - one boy and one girl - must fight to the death to show that each district must bow down against the Capitol.'"

My mother gasps, then holds me and my little brother tight. She sobs on my shoulder.

"'Every year,'" the president continued, "'twenty-four children shall be in an arena, killing each other, trying to survive. These children shall be between the ages of...'" President Ridds choked. "Twelve and eighteen. If your name is drawn, then a person may volunteer to take your place. The names of these games shall be called the Hunger Games.'"

I stare into space. I'm thirteen right now. Which means I'm eligible for the Hunger Games.

So, it's short, but this is just a prolouge, sort of. Oh, and no, I don't need anyone to submit any characters for me. I'm fine. =)

So, please review, and tell me what you think!
