CHAPTER 1:

The Haunt

As the sun blared through my curtains brightly I suddenly heard a loud blare of noise come from down the stairs. It was my step-dad, Phil. "Bella, come on we've got to go and get the plane." I was moving to a new home, in the city of Panem. I would defiantly Miss Arizona. But I had no choice. My mum and step-dad were always moving around and i was fed up with it all... and i haven't seen my dad, Charlie, for years.

I was ready within 10 minutes, a bit of lip-gloss and a brush to the hair, i don't really care what people think of me. They can't change me, i am who i am. I hurry down the stairs and grab my amazingly heavy suitcase but the second I try I drop it, its a bit to heavy for me, so phil offers to carry it and puts it in the boot of the car.

I'm in the car heading for the airport I'm getting to excited to be in another state, I've not been in before. "What if she gets chosen, you know to take part in the game for life? She's 17 and is far too young to die, she has no fighting skills and she wouldn't hurt a fly let alone kill somebody." i heard my mother whisper to Phil.

Confusness started to take over my body, i felt my blood start to warm up like lava pouring out an erupting Volcano, what did they mean by...the-game-for-life?
