The 1st Hunger Games.
I woke up my feet and whole body was shaking. Everyone learnt that the next year there would be a fight to the death. Everyone who would be 12 to 18 by the time it begun would be trained to fight. It had been a year. My mum had laid out a floral dress. District 1 wont win I thought. I was scared who would want to be first. My mum gave my hand a squeeze as I (I have read the books but liked the detail from the movie) got my finger pricked. They scanned it and let me stand at the back with the other 12 year olds. Quinn walked up on the stage. She played the anthem and made a speech. Hello everyone. Welcome to the very first Hunger Games. But be warned . I know you all want to compete but for the first year you get picked and that's it. I remembered some boy bragging to be in it. I turned around. My mother was staring at me. I listened as she started with the boys. Quinn dug her hand in and picked it up. Catho Moory. The boy well he wasn't a boy he was a man at 17. Then Quinn said ladies. Dug her hand in again. Diamond Cath. I froze. It was me. Everyone turned around. I stood up. Quinn was giving me an impatient stare. Come on now she shouted. I walked up. My mum was heart-broken. I looked at all the relieved faces. Quinn grabbed Catho and my hands. Presenting the District 1 Career Tributes. Before I knew it we were at the place to say good-bye. Honey my mum shouted. I gave her a big hug. Listen she whispered. You watch the other tributes with open eyes. Listen to Quinn she will guide you. Catho is strong but you can climb like someone from 11. I looked up. I started to talk. Mum there is 24 of us, I'm 12 what can I do. Stay alive my mum shouted as the guards pulled her away. Quinn walked in. Hello Amy are you Ok? She asked. I ignored her she couldn't be in this mess. Quinn didn't mind and gave me a speech. I will look after you. Little kids would probaly get a lot of sponsors. I turned at her I am not a kid if I was a kid I wouldn't be in this I shouted. I walked of not wanting to talk anymore. I watched the other Tributes. I listened and kept my eyes open. All older I thought. Then district 12 Shakira Amy. She looked young I thought. Quinn turned of the television. You both should get to bed. Days passed we were training. Then we went to get our score. (the test) They had trees. So I jumped up and climbed them jumping from them. Then I knew I needed to be good at something to kill. I threw a spear a knife and a bow. The bow was the only thing I was good at. The judges weren't impressed. But right before I had to leave. I picked up a boulder and threw it. I left. Quinn jumped on Catho and me as we walked out. How did it go? She asked. Catho explained how he had done great with spears. Mine was weak to his. We ate our meal and walked down to the television room we all shared one in the training centre. District 1 Diamond Cath. 5 points. Catho smiled. Quinn gave me a hug. Back then they gave reviews. She was good with trees but killing would be hard to do for her. I was furious. A boulder could kill someone. I then remembered there mightn't be any in there. Catho Moory. 9 points. I didn't listen anymore. Everyone was getting their plan from it. The interview Quinn said as she gave me to the stylist. Hello my name is Marlo he said. He looked weird tattoos on his head. My dress though was lovely. Blue mixed with a hit of godly pink. Flowing to my knees. Lovely said Marlo. I smiled and thanked him. He started to talk to me. He was kind and gentle. Not stuck up that his looks said to me. We walked out. Caesar the 3rd asked me my first question. You are young and you are a Career. They are saying that they will team up and then turn on each other. Are you thinking of doing that? I don't know in the games I'll probably think differently. But now No I would hate that. Why would you? Its unfair I think I have friends then we have to turn on one another. Caesar seemed pleased at my answer. The interview dragged on. And lastly he said. Are you nervous because of your score? Yes I am I am young and have a horrible score. That wont be good. Caesar grabbed my hand. Good Luck he whispered. I walked off. You were first and really stole the show said Quinn. Catho tried to get them by showing of. I asked Quinn can we know how many sponsors we get. No sorry said Quinn. Marlo walked up fabulous darling he said giving me a hug. I think I'll bring Diamond back. He walked me back to the floor. Look he said You don't have to kill hiding will be good too. Run hide whatever kill if needing to. If you want go to the place with life necessities there in the Cornucopia. But I recommend not. Everyone will want something. He finished smiled and said. May the odds be ever in your favour. What a heap of rubbish. I hugged him. See you tomorrow I whispered walking to the room. I heard Quinn coming in with Catho. Lifting the chair very good. I fell asleep which was weird because I was going into the games the next day. I was woke up by Quinn. Come on up. I walked. Got to Marlos and put on my coat and trousers. Marlo then whispered to me. Run where ever you like. But remember I don't want you killed. I want to style you again. I grabbed his hand. 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. I walked in. Mouthed goodbye. I was up. It was a big forest actually half forest half desert. I saw the Cornucopia. GO. Everyone ran. I grabbed a bow and some arrows a bag and ran out. Dodging a knife. I jumped into a tree. I heard Catho and some people from District 2 and 3. Called Anna Matthew. Maria and John. Diamond come down here. I looked out I was in for 5 minutes and I was giving up. We are joining up. He said We want you to join too. I didn't want to. No killing I got a bad score. Just alley with us. I decided I could team up know their game and leave in the night. I jumped down. Ok lets set of for that 12 year old Shakira she wont last long anyway. I pitched in Do you have much stuff from the Cornucopia. Catho laughed I got spears. Come on we need to win well I do. He laughed and ran of. I re-decided my plan. I was going solo I had to warn Shakira she was probably feeling the same as me.
