District 8
Lucy blinked her eyes. The sun was shining brightly down and it was incredibly hot. She opened her eyes and looked around. As her vision slowly came back to her she realized she was in a tightly packed group with other girls. Where am I? She asked herself. She didn't have too much time to think about it though. A women with long pink air came hurrying onto the stage. "Welcome girls and boys. I am so honored to be here with you this morning."
The woman droned on but Lucy was still too confused to listen. At one point a video was shown and she managed to piece together that two people, a boy and girl were about to be chosen to fight to the death in an arena with 22 other people. And only one person could come out alive. After the video had ended the woman who introduced herself as Celeste began talking again. "Now it is time to choose are two brave contestants. As always Ladies first." Celeste walked over and reached her hand into a glass bowl filled the brim with little pieces of paper.
After Celeste had drawn one she walked back to the center of the stage and in a clear voice she read "Lucy Heartfilia." Lucy's heart stopped for a second. How is this possible? I've only been here for half an hour at the most and I'm chosen for some fight to the death. People stepped away from her as though they knew who she was. Lucy took a deep breath and hurried up onto the stage. Celeste shook her hand and smiled warmly at her with her golden teeth.
Lucy looked through the crowd of boys hopping to see Natsu, Gray or anyone she knew. But she didn't recognize anyone. Celeste had picked a boy's name by now and she walked back to the center of the stage. She cleared her throat and looked at the piece of paper. Then in a loud voice she read "Yuzuru Otonashi." A boy with brown hair and brown eyes, came up onto the stage. He appeared a little dazed but that was probably due to the fact that he had just been chosen to fight to the death.
Celeste grabbed both of their hands and lifted them high up into the air. "I present to you the tributes from District 8. Lucy Heartfilia and Yuzuru Otonashi." Lucy noticed that no one applauded. Everyone just stared at them like they were already dead. Then again they probably were. They were escorted back into the building where they were told that their families would be able to come and say goodbye. Of course both of her parents were dead and weren't even here.
