Prologue
A dark shadow floated over the sparse arctic landscape, The snow on the hard ground reflected the suns rays into The tributes faces as They prepared to face what could be seen as a certain death. Twenty Four tributes stood nervously on thier podiums waiting to begin the 99th Hunger games.A swirl of wind ran across The snow sending chills up the tributes spines and then time began to slow...until the Horn hit them.
Ash was A tall muscular boy from the seventh district, He ran to grab what he say as a hatchet directly infront of him. The hatchet glinted in the bright sunlight.A smaller faster girl, with blonde hair had also ran for the same hatchet. She got to the hatchet first, grabbing it with her hand but Ash wasn't far behind He dived at her tackling her into the hard ground and a Loud thud could be heard as She hit the ground perhaps breaking her hip. Ash swiftly picked himself up Grabbing the hatchet. Ash swung the axe down at her face but the girl rolled out the way and kicked him in the knee "Gotta be faster than that" She snarled Ash didn't reply for he knew better than to make chit-chat with the opposition and Swung for her again with the hatchet this time cutting her across the lower chest. Crimson blood flooded the crisp white snow beneath their feet and Ash could sense his first kill as he moved in to cut her throat, This was done to save The other tributes were still fighting behind him and one boy from District 4 was beginning to become a dominate competitior in a three way struggle at the entrance. Ash didn't want to stick around for the fight and Ash knew that he was strong and could possibly use this to his advantage to climb the mountains. Only one person followed him as he ran off towards the dark and rugged terrain of the mountains. The boy in the thick of the fight for Dominance of the Cornucopia was Aaron Cesta the nephew of former victor Annie cesta and It showed for Aaron was around 5'11 with long raven hair and muscles which showed he did more than just fish. He swung a scimitar viciously towards a boy who was fairly small and had a thin stomach with most of his ribs showing, a sign he was from a very poor district.
"You know you can't best me"Aaron mocked as He swung at the small boy again
"I'm Christopher Tyler and I won't go down without a fight!" Chris shouted as He ducked the swing
Aaron began to use more energy trying to finish off this boy but Chris was right, He was fighting Aaron and perhaps holding his own, That was before the two Carefully placed arrows smashed into the back of Chris's head. Aaron looked around for people and he saw a girl who was quite tall around 5'9 with long blonde hair and a well defined body.
;; Must be from a career district ;; Thought Aaron.
"You're from district 4 aren't you?" The girl asked.
"I am, and what's it to you?"Aaron grunted hostily in reply
"No need to be so rude is there I mean, I did save you"replied the girl as she smirked at Aaron.
"I didn't ask for saviour and Nor shall I be createful for it"Aaron retorted sharply.
"Well, I thought us careers should stick together you know what I mean oh and my name's Katie" The girl smiled
"Fine, but no funny business" Aaron replied after thinking out a cunning plan of action.
Suddenly to interupt the conversation two more Tributes had decided it was worth fighting over the Cornucopia not even know what supplies were in it for a dark black sheet of metal had covered the entrance, Even if you survived the bloodbath of a fight over the Cornucopia you'd need some inteligence to open it. The two tributes had entered from a clearing of frozen bushes. They both had a weapon in thier hand, A boy with a spear and a girl with a words were exchanged for they didn't need to be, It was obvious what the tributes wanted...The Cornucopia and they were ready to fight for it. The boy charged at Aaron with his spear poised to lunge into Aaron's chest but Aaron knew how to dodge spear attacks and Side stepped him at the last moment and In the process Sliced a cut in the Boy's back. The cut wasn't fatal but it hurt and The boy who held the spear Knelt on the floor and before he could get up again He was struck In the jaw by Aaron's boot which knocked him out cold. The girl wasn't fairing much better against Katie who was an expert with a bow and Had pierced the girls Lower arm and Chest. The girl also slumped onto the ground and plucked the arrow softly from her chest, The blood stained her once brown tunic into a deep scarlett but The girls eyes remained wide open and weary of the finishing blow as if a finishing blow was required.
