Thanks to Fluteorwrite and jaide00 for their awasome support. Now I present to you the first chapter of Where The Dead Tributes Go.
Foxface POV
I wake up on the sand of what seems to be a large island. I sit up and evaluate my surroundings. I am definitely on a large island, surrounded by a bunch of teenagers, knocked out around me. I see more people far away enjoying, what seems to be, a large party. I walk down to the people and tap one on the shoulder. The person, a man who looks to be in his thirties, turns around and brightens when he sees me.
"You're up early," he says as if that is supposed to explain why I woke up in an unknown place surrounded by people I never met.
"Excuse me, but who are you and where am I?" I ask as politely as I can, but I'm pretty sure I sound very irritated.
"My name is Ponyo and you are on Castaway Island," he answers as if he's done this a million times before.
"Okay, Ponyo, then why am I on your "Castaway Island"?" I question.
"Because you're dead," Ponyo answers, and then goes back to partying. I tap him on the shoulder again.
"What do you mean I'm dead?" I ask, annoyed.
"You supposedly died in the Hunger Games, remember?" he says. Then it all comes flooding back to me. How I was reaped into the games, how I had tried to commit suicide by eating nightlock berries which would kill me.
"Wait if I'm dead, then is this…?" I begin.
"No. You aren't actually dead," he explains. "You see the Capitol created the Hunger Games for two reasons. To entertain themselves and to punish the rebels. But what only the officials knew was that when a tribute "dies" they don't actually die. The Capitol just sends them here to live the rest of our lives."
It's a lot for me to process. I'm not dead which is good, but I can never go home which is bad. I'm living in paradise which is good, but I'll never see my family again which is bad. My thinking is interrupted when I hear a scream. I turn around to see Clove, the girl tribute from two, running at me, knife in hand. And I can tell from her eyes that her intentions are to kill me.
Push the button.
