The Faction Games

by fly on

Every year, twenty children, four from each faction are chosen to fight to the death in an arena. one year, a young girl will find out a secret about the games that none have previously known. I'm terrible at summaries, please read the story, it will be better, I promise. the genres are: friendship, tragedy, mystery, adventure, and I may have one or two fluff scenes.

2. chapter 1: the explanation

President Aria stood at the oak podium that was televised over the whole nation. Everyone was nervous as she began the story

"Fifty years ago, there was an uprising. It was war. It started with the Erudite. They injected a simulation into our fighters, the dauntless. They were forced to attack the Abnegation. a young girl, Tris, stopped the simulation, everyone had a choice to make. Who to side with. The Abnegation was almost gone and the few that were left went to Amity, our peaceful Faction. The dauntless was split down the middle. Half sided with Erudite, either by bribery, force, or choice. Others went to Candor for safety. Then the fractionless were added to the war on the side on Dauntless and Candor. Though the dauntless, Candor, and fractionless claimed to have won the war, there was no true winner. many were hurt, maimed, or died. That is why we hold the fraction games. it is to show our young generation how war really is, how bad fighting with ourselves is, and why we should never repeat history. In the Fraction Games, four children from each faction between the ages of 16 and 20 are chosen. we choose three woman and one man. we pick more woman to keep from over populating."

This story the president tells every year, every year before the Fraction games. Every person in every fraction is watching the television. Every Parent, fearing for their child, every child fearing for their life, every sibling fearing for their bother and sister. Everyone knows that someone will be picked. no one know who, but they can only hope it isn't them.
