Chapter 1: Drive

The soft pitter-patter of the rain echoed throughout the district that morning, the morning of the 125th reaping. The morning of the day they would have two loved ones of their district fight for their lives as they all watched with tears in their eyes. Little did they know one person, one man, was about to save their children and the generations after them from the agony and torture of having to watch the gruesome deaths of people they knew and of people they didn't know.

Kurt Hummel trudged in the rain, silently cursing the weather for being so fierce on the day he had to walk halfway through the district to comfort some hysterically terrified girls (Brittany, Tina, and Mercedes).

He knocked on the wooden door and was immediately pulled into a hug by Brittany. Soon he was completely surrounded by girls. He looked at all of them. "Neither one of you is getting picked for the reaping. I swear it." But deep in his heart he knew that there was a good possibility they would. "Are you guys ready?" They all had fear in their eyes but they all nodded.

Kurt escorted them to the District 12 Square and hugged them before he went to sign up. Truth be told, Kurt was scared shitless. He didn't want to be picked. He didn't want anyone in his family being picked. Yes, Finn was included in his family and was therefore part of Kurt's group of people who he didn't want picked.

Emma Pillsbury walked onstage trying to put on a cheery mood, even though she knew she was sentencing two people to their highly possible death.

"All righty! I welcome all of you to the annual 125th reaping of the Hunger Games! Welcome, welcome, I know you're all excited! Well, let us begin by saying how marvelous the capitol is and how we should all remember the sacrifice they've made to ensure the U.S. never falls apart again. Yay, capitol!" Emma said in an enthusiastic voice. Every one was silent.

Crazy bitch, were we supposed to be happy about sending two people off to suffer in one of the capitol's sick games? Kurt thought as he examined her. She was wearing everything orange to match her hair. He was about to pick on her clothes in his mind when she spoke again.

"Now, it's time for me to pick out two lucky people to represent this district, let's start with the girls." She went to the left stage and swerved her hand in the bowl before picking on up. "The girl chosen was…Missy Waddington." Kurt let out a breath, they hadn't chosen one of his best friends; everything was okay now.

"Now, for the boys." Kurt could feel eyes on him; he looked back and saw Blaine staring at him. Blaine cheated on Kurt with five different people and had the audacity to say that it was Kurt's fault for not putting out and always making sure his family was okay instead of giving Blaine all his attention. Blaine's look told Kurt that Blaine didn't care about him anymore and that Kurt wasn't worth Blaine.

Kurt looked back at Emma with his eyes narrowed. Blaine had told the whole district that Kurt had been ignoring Blaine, when Kurt gave Blaine every second he could spare.

"And the boy who will represent the district is… Jeff Sterling." Everyone gasped. Everyone knew that he was madly in love with his boyfriend and would die in the arena, because he would refuse to participate.

Jeff's face was white as he clutched onto Nick's shirt. Kurt was outraged; Jeff was included as a person Kurt would give their life for. And that's what Kurt knew he had to do.

As Jeff slowly started to stand up, Kurt shot up to his feet and shouted, "I volunteer in the place of Jeff Sterling." Jeff's face reveled relief that he wouldn't be away from his love, but his eyes shone with sadness because it was possible that he would lose his best friend.

Kurt pushed through the Peacekeepers that surrounded Jeff and gave him a hug. "Do me a favor and marry Nick, will ya? I promise I'll make it to your wedding after this game is over and I win." Kurt laughed as he hugged Jeff once more.

Then, with his head held high, he marched, no, strutted onto the stage.

"Oh! We have our first volunteer from District 12, isn't this a marvelous day?" Emma squealed.

Kurt was about to go to the train but then he remembered something and quickly walked back."Oh, yeah, and one day you will all work for me." Several chuckles echoed throughout District 12. He looked at his father and saw the tears in his eyes. Kurt mouthed I Love You and ran to hug his father. "I'll win this thing, I swear, you won't lose me."

"I know, you're too stubborn to die because of some game."

Kurt smiled and dried the tears streaming down his face. "Your right, they won't bring me down, they never have been able to."

Kurt kissed Carole's cheek and walked to the train, finally letting his tears overflow him. As the train started to move, Emma handed Kurt a tissue.

Kurt smiled and wiped his face.

"It's time to try defying gravity,

I'll think I'll try defying gravity,

Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity,

And you won't bring me down…"

Kurt sang the rest of the song as the train passed the trees that were swaying in the wind. He was going to be okay, he just knew it.

A/N: Hi, it's me. J.D. Just in case you wanted to know the song I was listening to when I wrote the chapter was Drive by Incubus. And if I haven't said it enough, I don't own anything.

Ps. I'm thinking of turning this one into a long story, maybe 20 chapters, what do you think?
