I have been thinking, since the second enhancement, there is only one way out of here. I have been planning it out, for years. I made myself wait until I had two extra years worth of abilities. Now I can move faster then any human. I can hear a twig snap from a half mile away. I can easily tackle a grown man. Now, I believe I am ready. Today is the day I go into the 47th Annual Hunger Games.
I will save one miserable girl from a deathly fate. Last year I had to watch my sister die. I think I almost felt sorrow. But if you tell a living soul that, I will break your neck. Believe me. I can do that. Her name was Marie. She was the only one of my family members who would sneak off and see me whenever she could. Even though I didn't love her anymore, I felt like I owed her. So since I had long ago abandoned my real last name, that I didn't remember it. Now I call myself Elle Marie.
The reaping isn't until 11 here. Most people are up at the crack of dawn worrying. Not me. I groggily get up 10:30. I make myself look presentable with the dark green dress they have put out for me, and pin my hair out of my face, with long brown curls falling over my shoulders. I pull on the sandals they have given me, and I go to wait.
They draw a name. I don't even here it. The girl walks up holding back tear she looks about 13, with blonde hair pined up, and a pale blue dress. I quickly raise my hand. I shout "I volunteer" so loud the people around me shutter. I didn't want them to miss me. The look to "doctor". His name is Paul Raden, and the face he wears is sheer terror. There is no doubt in my mind that he will be tortured for this. I gave an evil laugh, and mounted the stage. Then they call the boys name, he looks about 16, and has jet black hair, and dark blue eyes like his father. His name, is Blaze Raden. Revenge is sweet, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
