City of Gems - Chapter 1
The people of District One file past the peacekeepers and into their groups, Their Escort stands up the front, he smiles at them and they smile back, He is the very best escort.
"Happy Hunger Games!" he cries as the District cheer "And May the Odds Be Ever in Your Favour!" quickly he walks up to the bowl of names for the girls her reaches in and pulls out a name.
Walking over to the stand he unfolds it and reads the name "Scarletta Gem", there is a short pause. And some people look towards the sixteen section, and watch as a girl steps forward.
She was tall, her wavy brunette went down her back and her blue eyes intense, and a slight smirk turning up her lips. She was the type of girl who made other jealous of her beauty which she took for granted. She walks gracefully up on stage and is warmly welcomed by Herisen, the escort, before she turns the full force of her glare upon the other girl, as Herisen calls for volunteers. When no one steps forward, Herisen walks over to the boys section and reached in; carefully going through the names, he pulls one out and walks over to the stand.
Unfolding it he takes a breath and begins. "Ladies and Gentlemen, the male tribute for the 15th Hunger Games is…." Everyone takes a deep breath in.
"I volunteer".
The voice rang out around the square, everyone turns to look. There was a boy from the 18 year olds group, he steps forward proudly. His blonde hair spiked up. His bluish grey eyes darted around the square taking in everything. They settled for a moment on a girl from the 18 years group, before moving on. He strides forward purposefully, He was a little taller than Scarletta, and some would say just as attractive.
With the calm only a Career could manage. He walks onto the stage, taking his place next to Scarletta. Herisen looks happily at the boy. "Well young man. What is your name?" the boy looks at Herisen proudly
"Blaze Silversin." Herisen smiles gesturing for them to shake hands, before turning to the crowd.
"Well there you have it. The tributes for District One – Scarletta Gem and Blaze Silversin." The crowd cheers as the two are led off the stage and into the Justice Building.
