Chapter 1
The Beginning
The Capitol was to powerful to defeat they had too many mutts. They overpowered everyone and killed most of them. My brother and father where caught in the cross fire they're gone and there's nothing I can do about it. The capitol will pay for this someday but first 23 children every year will. My name is Amanda Everdeen and I've been chosen for the first annual Hunger Games.
The capitol just wants to remind us we are no match for their power. After thirteen was destroyed most of the rebels gave up. Thirteen was our weapons resource without it we were vulnerable. The Capitol just wants to punish the districts. It relies on us for everything but we are still at its mercy.
The Capitol has tore my family apart. It took my brother and father. My mother has gone into a coma of sorrow and left me to fend for myself. Now I'm in a train on my way to the Capitol so they can prepare me for my death.
I sit in a carriage that's far too happy for my impending doom. The boy that has accompanied me from District 12, Cody Gallagher, or something has been staring at me for an hour while I eat the abundance of food. He's beginning to creep me out.
I get up to leave and he gets up too. I practically run to my room and have half closed my door when he sticks his foot in its path.
I open the door again.
"What do you want?" I snap.
"I have to talk to you. Alone. Can I come in?" Cody says shyly.
Yes I know it's short but I just want to see what people think of my writing first.
