Before the Reapings: Volo Gladius
One thing most people have figured about District 2 is that everyone and I mean everyone, wants to volunteer for the Hunger Games. So instead of having a bloodbath during our reapings, the Peacekeepers and Mayor Thornwallow gave us a 'schedule'. They have already chosen the tributes for the next five years. This year it's my turn.
I wasn't really surprised when I was chosen to be the tribute for the 100th Hunger Games because I am the best in my year. I dashing, charming, and good with a sword, really good with the sword. It was kind of dumb of everyone to think that they could have been chosen, when the obvious choice was always me. I am pretty sure I'll win this year and haven't even seen the other tributes, besides my district partner.
Her name's Crysanthum Thornwallow. Yep, she's the mayor's daughter. She's really ugly and weak and I don't even know why they chose her, even if she is the mayor's daughter. Probably to make me look even better. I haven't really seen her do anything, but I can tell just by looking at her that she wouldn't survive the first day without the rest of us careers. She must be a disappointment to her parents. I probably should be nice to her since she's my district partner, maybe I'll let her be in the Final 2 with me. Then I'll give her quick and painless death.
I really hope this year's careers are better than last year's. Last year only Kijo, Terri, some District 1 guy and the District 4 girl survived the bloodbath. Then the District 4 girls was killed by trackerjackers and the guy from 1 was killed by Kijo. That was all in the first day. The guy from 1 tried to betray Kijo and Terri, but died the second he announced his treachery. Kijo won that games, so I guess he or Eto will be our mentor. Eto was the winner from the 94th Hunger Games. I know that seems like a long time, but the winners from the 95th and 97th Games don't feel like being mentors. But we have plenty to spare. There like 30 victors still alive or something.
But I'm really psyched up about what will happen during this Quarter Quell. Since they did the past victors competing thing in the 3rd one, I sure I'll be able to compete this year. The 75th Hunger Games was pretty weird. My old man said that in ended in some big explosion and next thing you know there's another rebellion. They wasted 3 whole Hunger Games (years), so this one was actually supposed to be the 103rd Hunger Games.
In the end the Rebels lost again, but the capitol punished them lightly, mainly because the President died and most of the Rebels hid in District 13. So instead of destroying another district, they decided to blow up 13 again. Imagine the look on the Rebel's faces when they got blown up.
Finally the Quarter Quell program started. "Welcome to the New Year and you know what that means…" the announcer waited for the crowds cheers. They came a few seconds later, "The 100th Hunger Games!"
"Yep, that's right and it's also the 4th Quarter Quell. The 100th anniversary of when the Rebels were crushed the first time and also the 23rd year after the second rebellion was defeated. Now, we'll go to President Lief." The screen showed the president behind the podium waiting for the applause to end. Then he started his speech.
It was just a repeat of what the announcer had just said, but with greater detail. But I already knew the story, so it was really boring. When it finally ended, I quickly glued my eyes back to the screen. "So let's see what this Quarter Quell will surprise us with," he started, putting his hand inside the glass box full of envelopes. He pulled out one and opened it slowly, building tension and making everyone nervous. It could affect anyone. It could say that the Capitol must participate as well or that adult's names must be put in with the children's names.
"Well, for the 4th Quarter Quell this year," he pauses for greater effect, "there will be no Cornucopia."
I laugh nervously. No cornucopia meant no food. It meant no supplies. Worst of all it meant no weapons. That meant no swords. Without a sword…
I'm doomed.
Before the Reapings: Callidus "Cally" Sollers
No cornucopia. I laughed. I feel sorry for all the people that are going to be chosen this year. They're most likely gonna die from hunger or by someone who has big muscles. There's no way I would be chosen. I already destroyed my paper in the box, thanks to my patented X-Ray Scanner 3000. Being able to Scan all the papers in the box and find my name in a millisecond. Then it destroys it with special top secret technology. I am so glad I was born in District 3. Otherwise, I'd be a dumb, brawny guy from 1 or a poor, starved kid from 12.
I also feel sorry for the careers. Some years back I think in the 96th Games some guy from 10 ran straight into the cornucopia and stole all the weapons. All the careers died in the first two days. In the end there was only the District 10 guy, I think his name was Axel and some really big guy from 7. Axel was up in a tree and dumped his whole bag of weapons on to poor sod. Afterwards, he went down and cried until the hovercrafts picked them up.
I guess I'm kind of sad because whoever's going from district 3 isn't going to have anything to work with. No wires or anything. They're probably going to die early on. Alll I can hope for is that it isn't my brother or anyone I know. I should have deleted their names too, but I guess people call me selfish for a reason. It doesn't matter District 3 is quite big, so it'll be like a 1% chance it'll be anyone I know.
I head back to my desk to work on my new invention, the Slayer Token. I was hoping to give it to the tribute's chosen if I knew any of them, so I guess I'm not that selfish. Although it looks like a gear, it's actually a deadly weapon. it can electrocute people. They got to be careful when using it or the Gamemakers will know somethings up. You have to pretend to push them but actually plant the token on them. It is going to be a silent killer. I hope I can finish it in time for the Games, but it's very unlikely.
So I guess everyone's doomed. Except for me of course. I won't be chosen.
Before the Reapings: Turpy Prodigus
I love how my dad's so rich. I don't have to work in the factories, I can buy anything I want and everyone likes me. I feel sorry for all the ugly people on the streets begging for money. They're so dirty I have to walk five feet away from them. There is also the people in the factories, working there for 20 hours and getting only 5 dollars a day. Or was it a week. I don't remember but it doesn't bother me, I'm rich so I don't even have to work. Not even my grandchildren (I don't have any yet) have to.
I sit down on my couch and stare at my gigantic flat screen TV. Then I hear the words, "No cornucopia," followed by a series of whispers from the crowd. I know this is about the Hunger Games, I've heard of it before. I try to remember what the cornucopia is. I never watch the Games, as my dad calls it, mainly because I don't like to watch anything my dad watches. I don't want to become masculine or anything.
Why should I care anyway? It's not like I'll be in the Games and I never watch it. So I guess I'll just go to mall again and buy me some more clothes.
