This is the story of a young boy named Danny Jensen who falls for a feisty, sarcastic and beautiful girl from another district.
Chapter 1: The beginning
It was early morning in district 10, probably around 6:30 AM. Danny got up and had a quick shower. He got changed into a black hoodie, sweatpants, walking boots and the leather jacket his dad always wore to train in.
Dad always wanted me to be prepared for the games in case I was ever reaped, but now that he's gone, I've made it my number 1 priority to make sure my little brother Clay is as prepared as I am. Mom doesn't think that Clay should start his training yet, but his name will be going into the reaping for the first time this year and if his name gets pulled out he'll have no chance of surviving without me teaching him the basic skills that my dad taught me, even if she doesn't want me to.
"Clay, you up yet bud?" Danny whispered through his bedroom door so my mom wouldn't hear.
"Yeah, I'll catch up with you in a min." He replied.
Danny nodded to myself, grabbed his training bag and headed out.
As he walked towards the forest Clay caught up to me.
"So, what are you gonna teach me? Knife throwing, Archery, spears?" Clay asked excitedly.
Danny chuckled, "Clay, the games aren't just about fighting. It's more about survival. From watching the games these past few years I can tell the career tributes have no survival skills, and that is what will help you win the games."
"Who are the career tributes?" Clay asked him.
"They're the tributes from 1 and 2, they have special training which makes them lethal fighters and when they turn 18 they volunteer to go into the games. Dad told me the main reason he won the games was because the career tributes all got nasty burns and didn't know how to dress them." This made Clay laugh.
"Alright then, show me all you know big bro!" Clay laughed as he started running ahead towards the forest.
