Prologue

Knock knock! "Come in! It's open!" I say. The person enters my room. She is wearing a white shirt and green shorts. On her right hand is a small yellow book. Soon I realize who she is.

"Akuhilangditelanbumi! Take a seat," I greet her politely. Akuhilangditelanbumi nods, and sits in front of me. I take some paper and a pen, and return to my desk. Akuhilangditelanbumi replies with a smile.

"So you must be Artemis Kilauli, the Head Gamemaker of the 56th Annual Hunger Games," she says. I nod.

"Yes I am, Akuhilangditelanbumi. What brings you here?" I ask.

"Well," she sighs, "I want to show you my ideas for the arena. It's here." The girl gives me the yellow book she has been carrying. "Just go to page 69."

I open the book and try to find page 69. I think she has used the book before—I saw drawings and handwritings in a language I don't understand. When I reach page 69, I'm a little bit surprised. It is not like what I have imagined. I thought the arena was drawn with a computer—the arena is drawn with a pencil. Maybe she doesn't have a computer, I muse.

Then I look at the arena carefully. Basically, it's a big (badly drawn) rectangle divided to twelve smaller rectangles. The first rectangle is much bigger than the other rectangles. Its description in the same language she used in the previous pages. All I know is there's a "green house" in the rectangle. I don't understand the descriptions of the next eleven rectangles, but the point is each rectangle has different things in it. I return the book to Akuhilangditelanbumi. "I don't really understand," I confess. "Would you please explain it to me?"

Akuhilangditelanbumi grins.

"That was a great arena, Akuhilangditelanbumi. We'll add more obstacles, but we will not change the arena. We'll inform you if the arena is done." I say after a long explanation from Akuhilangditelanbumi.

"Thank you, Artemis. But I have to go now. I'm leaving the book, in case you forgot something." Akuhilangditelanbumi rises from her seat. "Don't lose it."

"Of course I won't, Akuhilangditelanbumi," I say as I usher her to the door. "Have a good day."

Akuhilangditelanbumi smiles and walks out to my room. "You too," she replies. When she's gone from my sight, I close the door.

"Anyway, Artemis." she calls me. I open the door. "You can call me AHDB."

A/N: So…what do you think? Can you imagine the arena already? I think the arena's not dangerous enough, and my sister and I are still working on it. See you later!
