Hi everyone :), before you start reading (thanks for reading it at all!) I wanted to tell you that I'm Dutch, so maybe my grammar won't be very well. I'm writing this to practice my English and because I like the Hunger Games :).
Enjoy!


"Ares, are you ready?" I nod. I have never liked interviews, but as the new Head Gamemaker, I have to tell the audience something about the Games.

"Two more minutes," Gallius says. "Then the show begins."

I look around and see the President of Panem, our lovely country, Coriolanus Snow. "Hello, President." He looks up from his little book.

"Hello, Ares. Are you nervous?" I nod. "I hope you will do well. These Games have to be a great succes." I nod again.

"They will, sir. I'll make them unforgettable."

"Ares, it's time." Gallius beckons me. I give President Snow a little bow and I head to the stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is our lovely new Head Gamemaker: Ares McCarthy! Give him a big applause!"

I walk to the chair on the stage, next to Caesar Flickerman.

"Thank you, Caesar," I say. "Hello everyone!" The audience cheers and shouts.

"Ares, we love you!"

"You're my idol!"

"You'll be so much better than Leto!"

Caesar sits down. "Quite, please!" Everybody stops talking. "Thank you! Ares, welcome! It is good to see you again!"

"It is good see you too, Caesar.'"

"Ares, I know you're not allowed to tell us anything about the next games, but can you give us a little hint?'" The crowd is cheering again.

"I'm sorry, Caesar, but I can't. It is top secret. But I am sure it will be a big succes."

"I don't worry about that, Ares. You will do very well. A big applause!"

I stand up again, waving to the crowd. I give Caesar a hand - I really like that guy - and I walk off the stage.

I survived it. I have to give one more interview tomorrow, when the tributes are reaped. After that, I can just sit down and do my job.


Thanks for reading, I hope you liked it! I'm sorry it isn't very long, but I like the part where the Games have started the most, so I'll probably write longer chapters then. But first, the Reapings :). I'll write a new chapter soon!
