District14
Here in district 14 things are not usual. We are spies. Not for just one person but for anybody, if they have something we need, like food or coal or lumber, we work for them and give them the information they want. If they don't have what we want, we work for money. Like district 13 we have an agreement with the Capitol, We give them the information they want and we stay alive. Simple, right? President Paylor 'Decrees' that district 13 and 14 must send an ambassador from each District. So how was one chosen? Well just like in the games of old, all the people from the ages 11 to 19 had a slip on which their name was written then placed and picked from a glass ball, read aloud, not by Effie, but by our beloved, Katniss. Which names were picked? Ah, I am glad you asked! Well, the one from district 13 was Amelia Tulip Lumen and from district 14 was Sting Nettle Thorn. Yes, yes! OK Save your 'oh are they going to fall in love like in Twilight?' but strangely enough they aren't the main Characters, No they aren't so no arguing. So, do you venture to ask who is? Well if you don't ask I will tell you anyway, the two main characters are Ivy Violet Vine and Rose Thistle Thorn both are from district 14 and are two of the top three spies there are. The three top spies are whom? You might ask, well, save your breath I will tell you, Ivy and Rose of course, but there is also Sting, Rose's brother. Now the gasps and Oh-ah's are allowed. Yes, and the Huzzahs too.
Chapter 1
NARRATOR: Ivy
'Three down two more to go,' I whisper into my communicator as I run down the hall in the main Capitol building. As I glance at my hologram I whisper, 'Next one is to my right!' As I ran I felt a bullet narrowly miss my ear. 'To close for comfort, Shoot NOW!' I feel the crunch of human bones underneath my feet as I trip and try to regain my balance but sadly I fail. I glance yet again at my Hologram, I see a pack of red dots coming my way. Whisper into my communicator, 'Get ready, the lizards are a'comin!'
Quickly I scramble to my feet grabbing my short knife at the same time feeling quite smooth. I feel a breeze on right, and I notice my partner standing there looking relaxed and bored as always. I pull out my awesomely silent M-16, charge and load it. Look over at Rosie, more comenly known as Thistle, who has three knives in one hand and and double barrel pistol.
I remember the same gun she pulled out on our first mission together. The day that we both lost both of our parents. No time for flash backs because if I do we will both get killed by those mutts. We hear their echoing footsteps but they never come, so we slowly creep forward. I risk looking at the hologram and discover that each and every dot has vanished. I mutter under my breath, 'What is with this stupid thing?' Rose therefore replies,'Maybe you need a new one. Guess We'll just have to trust our instincts from now on.' I know she is right so we kept walking, never letting our guard down. We finally see a vault in front of us. I stop ten feet from it and I take a deep breath and exhale . I see something ripple like a force field. I say to Rose 'Stand back.' I back up yet another ten feet and shoot a bullet. The force field is still unscathed, and I see where the bullet fell. Now a small pile of ash. I say in my head think, think! Or you are certainly going to die.
