Up, the pedestal pushed me, until i was in direct sunlight. I squinted for a slight moment, until my eyes adjusted.
I knew a smug look was plastered on my face but I couldn't help it.
Honestly, I was glad that I was in the hunger games, yet something told me that I shouldn't be here. This was my life long dream.
5... 4.. 3... 2.. 1.. "Begin." a voice sounded. I gracefully hopped off my pedestal and began to sprint.
As, I ducked to grab a bag, I avoided a sudden death of being beheaded. I grabbed a sword, and a bow. But where were the arrows?
I climbed on top of the cornucopia, with a bit of struggle, but I spotted the confused girl holding the bag of arrows looking for the bow, and she was in the mouth of the cornucopia.
My grip on my sword tightened and I lied down on my stomach, over the mouth and swung at her head. She gasped, with surprise, then slowly sank onto the floor, arrows still in her hands.
I carefully leaped off and tried to grab the arrows, but her grip was too tight, so I cut off her lifeless fingers, one by one.
I swung the arrows over my shoulder, and climbed back onto the cornucopia and looked through my bag, quickly, in case there were people lurking in the shadows.
With a smirk I pulled out a bag of bread, a package of dried fruit, and a full water bottle, that came with a water purifier. I surveyed my surroundings and saw that I was at a carnival. I had heard of carnivals at school.
They had shows with lions, and acrobatics, and games, and occasionally rides, like roller coasters. I was outside and tents surrounded me, with all different horrors I assumed by the screaming around me.
My mind wandered a bit, but I decided it would be best if I stayed near the cornucopia.
I was lost in a deep thought for a long time, until I was snapped back to reality when the cannons begin to sound for the fallen people.
I counted in my head as they began to sound. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! "8." I quietly whispered.
"9 if you don't follow my orders." a female voice whispered, holding something to my neck.
"You killed my alli, so if you are not very careful, then I will kill you." I turned to see a large girl with an axe in her hand.
"I'm not scared of you." my voice said in a hoarse whisper.
My hands reached behind me and got hold of my sword, which was still covered in her allies blood.
She let out a snort, and whispered, " I wouldn't try that if I were you. That was a very foolish mistake."
She tightened her grip on her axe and swung at my head, but I rolled out of the way, just in time.
I sprinted for my life, but ironically I tripped. My ankle felt sprained, and I felt like those idiots in the scary movies.
The girl caught up and brought her axe down onto me. I tried to scream but I was unable. Everything went dark.
Then my eyes shot open, and I was in a bed, a nice warm bed, but my room looked different.
I glanced around at my unfamiliar surroundings, and my mind wouldn't remember yesterday.
The door swung open without warning, and I nearly screamed.
"Good morning Sam. I hope you had a nice slumber. We are having breakfast, then going directly to the launching room after that." She led me to the dining room and I sat with the other tributes.
Many tributes spoke about their sleep and anxiousness. "I had the weirdest dream..." I said to my district partner.
"What was it about?" A few people asked curiously. "I... I don't remember.." I whispered.
I scarfed down 4 pancakes, with syrup and bananas, and orange juice.
The moment I finished I was rushed, dressed, and prepped for the games.
"Good luck!" my mentor said, pushing me into the launching tube.
Up, the pedestal pushed me, until i was in direct sunlight. I squinted for a slight moment, until my eyes adjusted.
Oh crap, my mind thought remembering my dream.
