Mitch slowly opened his eyes. Small rays of light shown though the window blinds of his room. He sat up and as the feeling of just waking up slowly faded from him he remembered what today was. It was the reaping he would volunteer for the hunger games and represent district 2 his home. He got out of bed and went over to his closet to change out of his pjs and into his normal attire. A red and black checkered hoodie with darkish green jeans and red tennis shoes. He heard his door slowly creek open and turned to see his mother in the door way. He knew she would try to talk him out of it again she had tried to do that ever since he started on this path. It was only natural he was her only son but not her real son. Mitch was adopted his mother and father had tried for a baby for a long time but one day. They had found Mitch as a baby. His Mother's word snapped him back to reality
"Do you have to go? She paused thinking for a second. "You could take over your father's shop."
Mitch shook his head "Sorry mom I'm going to have to do it this is my dream." "Well if I win" he kept that last part to himself.
"Alright but promise me this" she said sadly "come home safe."
After a similar conversation with his father the small family headed for the square. When they got there Mich was separated into the 18 year old boys group he walked around the already large amount of boys his age and came to the front of the group ready to volunteer. Then he heard a loud hay from behind Mich turned around to see that his two best friends were coming to the front of the crowed. Preston Levar and Ryan Xpeal. Ryan rapped his arm around Mitch's shoulder. "Well Mitch this is it." The boy said proudly he extended his hand out as if showing Mitch an unseen object. "This is where you win the hunger games and become rich and famous." He looked back at Mitch "and when you stand on that pedestal and give your victory speech you'll be sure to say that it was you best friends who helped you get there." Mitch shook his head at this comment "You just want to feed off of my famousness." Then Preston sighed and pitched in "no I just made a bet with him about the hunger games." He stopped there making Mitch have a suspicion about the bet "What part of the hunger games did you bet on." Both friends suddenly moved away from Mitch. Mitch was about to press them more when Bash Undiven (the District 2 manager) came out on stage. He wore a green suit with yellow vertical strips. With a bald head painted like a water melon and glasses with red and blue lenses he was a sight to behold. "So welcome boys and girls to the 74th annual reaping."
He walked over to a large crystal ball. "Ladies first" he said smiling. He slowly placed his hand in the glass ball and pulled out the small slip of paper. "Ashely Marie" he shouted on the top of his lungs. Ben stared in shock that was the girl he had a crush on since Elementary school. Now since there were no female volunteers his age he would have to face her on the field of battle. She solemnly walked up the steps as both Ryan and Preston both sadly looked at their friend they knew about how Mitch felt for the girl and Mitch had always said that when he won the Hunger Games he would get the courage to go out with Ashely and maybe even marry her but that would not happen now. Bash held out his hand and slowly shook it. "Now for the boys." Bash announced Mitch stared at the man as he slowly pulled out the next name. Mitch was going to regret doing this but as Bash took a look at the slip of paper Mitch stood up strait and call out "I volunteer as tribute. Bash smiled and dropped the slip of paper. "So we have our tributes." Ashely Marie. He waited for Mitch to climb up the steps. "And Mitch Canadian.
Later
Mitch sat in his seat of the train. The goodbyes to his family and two friends went quickly. They had said generally the same things but his Mother gave him a golden neckless with a pocket watch attached to the chain. He was gripping it tightly as he stared out the window. Ashely then spoke up "So were tributes now" She said trying to get some conversation but all she got was a quick "yah" Silence continued then Ashely sighed ready to admit to something "Mitch there is something I have wanted to say for a long time. She was suddenly cut off as the door opened and a man wearing a mask walked into the room. He walked over and stopped at the table they were sitting at. Mitch knew him winner of 69th hunger games Noochim Bruits. He was to be their mentor. He wore a great metallic mask to cover his scares and had a meatal jaw due to it being damaged beyond repair in his Hunger games.
"So you're the new tributes" he said in a gruff voice. "What do you two know about fighting?" Mitch was the first to answer "I can use swords, sieves, axes, and bows." Noochim nodded Sieves are good no one goes for the sieves and there an easy grab because they are always on the edge of the cornucopia. Then looked at Ashely waiting for a response. "I can throw knives" She said meekly. Noochim groaned and started to discuss possible weapons for her. Mitch decided to take the time and watch some TV. It was a rerun of all the tributes the only ones he found interesting were Adam Sky from District 1, Quinten Kips from District 4, and the one Mitch found most interesting was the girl and boys from District 12 The girl was 12 her name was Mia eur and it was always sad when someone that young was to the Hunger games but the boy volunteered when after the girl was called he was Jerome Bacca and he had brown hair and brown eyes much like Mitch and was even 18 like Mitch except he was a Mutt with brown hair. Despite that there was something familiar about the boy like a memory form a dream long forgotten.
And the plot thickens I hope that you enjoy the first chapter.
