A/N: This is my first Hunger Games fanfic! Coincidentally it's about the first Hunger Games. XD Anyways this is how it will work. There are five different points of view I will use. Each of these characters are introduced below. The rest of the chapters will only have one POV. Tell me which character is your favorite so far in the reviews! I hope you enjoy!
Prologue
President's POV:
President Correlius Stone sat in his garden contemplating. Tumbling around in his mind, his thoughts were like armies making and breaking alliances. "What should I do with those troublesome districts?" he wondered out loud. "The punishment must be terrible yet beautiful, powerful yet subtle. Above all it must give the rebels hope. Yes, hope, the only thing stronger than fear. This could be my greatest weapon ever."
Returning to his office, the president seated himself in an imposing, regal chair and called to his secretary, "Ms. Trinket, send in my advisors. I have an announcement to give.
Lanella Trinket POV:
Lanella Trinket answered in her pompous, overbearing voice, "Yes Mr. President. Of course Mr President," and strutted off, her sparkling purple wig bobbing with every was a normal Capitol citizen, decorated and extravagant, but Lanella was proud of her job. Not every young woman got to be the president's secretary. Peeking inside the folder the president had handed her, she squealed with delight. "Oh, what a marvelous idea! Imagine the possibilities! Imagine the entertainment!" she commented to herself merrily. "What genius!" When she reached a certain door, Lanella pushed the folder through a slot and pushed some glowing buttons.
Azalea Longsleet POV:
Azalea was nervous. The president was about to give a speech to all Panem. "It must be important" she thought to herself. "I hope we'll be okay," she anxiously paced across the floor in her family's small house in district 11. As her mother turned on the television, Azalea recoiled at the ugly, weasel-like features of President Stone.
By the time the speech was over Azalea was in tears, "I don't want to get reaped! I don't want to die!" she wailed. Although her name was only in once, the young twelve year old was convinced she would get picked. Returning to her room, Azalea sobbed into her pillow, terrified for the reaping the next day.
Katherine Delaney POV:
Although many in her district were nervous about the new competition, Kathrine was excited. She was positive that if she entered the games she would win. Immediately after the president's speech Katherine began to form a plan. Since she would probably n ot get picked, so she decided that she would volunteer. Decisively Katherine exclaimed, "Then I'll go in and kill them all, and District 2 will have a winner!"
Collin Markstraw POV:
Unsure what to think about the broadcast, Collin, who was only eight, was thinking hard. He didn't know if these Hunger Games were a good thing or not. Surely the districts should be punished for rebelling against the Capitol, which was his home, but was the president going a little too far? Collin decided he would make his decision in a few weeks, after the first games were over.
