Acceptance and Forgiveness

Prologue

"Ladies and gentleman I am pleased to present the Victor of the 65th Hunger Games , Finnick Odair!" Ceaser Flickerman announces with a background of blaring trumpets.

I can't believe I just won the Hunger Games! Finally, I get to go home to my family and friends. I never thought I would say this but iI feel so relieved. I get to go home! I think I'm the youngest person ever to win the Games. Great, now I get to brag about how I won the Games at the tender age of fourteen. I can't wait to see my two best friends, Dominick and Annie, my mom Vivian and my ten-year old sister Samantha. They're all the family I have left, since I never knew my father and my mom was an only child. Sammy is old enough now to realize her big brother's a murderer. I just hope none of them treat me that way.

I'm just so excited to go home to my family. I won the Games without becoming a Career, now that's an accomplishment. Most Careers are from District 2 anyway.

District 2, just saying that gives mr the chills. That's the District where most Carrers are located. I hate Careers, they earned their nickname because they're bloodthirsty, and they train for the Games, even though it's illegal. The most Victors come from that District. Personally, I think training for the Games is barbaric.

The Hunger Games are the worst invention known to the Districts, but to explain them, I must tell Panem's history. It's a long story so brace yourself.

Panem is the country that rose out of the ashes of a place called North America, which was destroyed by war, drought, and any other natural disasters you can think of. Panem consists of a Capitol surrounded by thirteen districts, however the thirteenth district rebelled against the Capitol causing a huge war. Long story short, the first twelve districts were defeated and the thirteenth, decimated. As a punishment to the twelve districts the Hunger Games were created. The Game are a fight-to-the-death on live TV. Twelve boys and twelve girls between the ages of twelve and eighteen called tributes are randomly selected (one boy and one girl from each district) and put into a huge weather-controlled arena to kill each other and the last person alive, called the Victor wins.

Victors are showered with food and gifts for their district, a life supply of money, a new house, and on top of that Victors are forced to mentor the next two tributes to the same horrible fate. So now that I'm a Victor, I have to endure the same horrible cycle every year. Oh, joy.

There's the sound of a hovercraft above me, I have never been so happy to hear that sound. Although I wish it was a little quieter, Kayla the district 2 tribute hit me really hard on the head with a huge rock, I might have a concussion. And the roaring of the hovercraft is making my head pond and its giving me a weird dizzy feeling. But other than that, it might just become my favorite sound in the world, besides laughter. Laughter is just hilarious.

A ladder comes from the hovercraft, i climb it, and I'm immediately bombarded with questions by my mentor Mags, but my head is pounding so hard I don't hear what she's saying. All hear is mumbling, but I manage to make out a sentence.

"Finnick, can you hear me? What the heck is the matter with him? Why can't he speak to me? Finnick if you can hear me, nod your head."

I manage to nod slowly.

"Finn..."

All I see is her mouth moving, I can't hear a word, my head huts so badly. It feels like someone stuck a knife in there and is constantly twisting it. The last thing I hear is Mags screaming my name, before I fall to the floor and everything goes dark.

Does it suck? Is it good? Let m know in a review, sorry for any mistakes.
