Thank you for the review. I am so sorry it has taken me this long to update, but school is getting hectic. I'm also excited to find where this story is going and I'm taking the suggestions your giving me. I've decided not to do every single district every chapter. So you have to petition for your favourites. Basically you are the sponsors!
Chapter 2: The Goodbyes-Girls
District 1- Caroline
I stared, at the white wall. Not a mark, or a scratch. I tried but I couldn't stop thinking. I could be dead in the next week, friends and family mourning and all that was left was memories. The Celebrity Games. All it means is Death. I've died before, but I came back as a vampire. I'm a vampire. How come I'm still worried, I've killed humans before, they are my innocent victims. I stopped thinking and frantically searched the wall. If it was my imagination I would never know, but there was a red stain, right in the far corner. But before I could inspect it further, the door was pushed open. There stood my two best friends.
I couldn't move... was this the last time I would see them. Elena tentatively stepped towards me and before I knew it I was engulfed by two pairs of warm arms. Water trickled down my face in heavy sobs. As we chorused like the birds in the early morning.
"Care, you are strong enough to do this. You've saved people, us included and we just need you here with us." Bonnie stated looking away. Elena nodded and added, "I can't lose someone else Caroline" She then wiped away the tears that evaded my face, she then whispered in my ear, "I choose Stefan." They hugged me once again, before they were dragged out. I was left with Elena's last words 'just in case.' Just in case, I died.
The door swung open this time, revealing two brothers, one with his arms wide open and the other with a scowl on his face. Even in the face of tragedy she couldn't help but laugh at the typical Damon-ness. She walked into Stefan's arms. Who held her tightly and reassuringly. "Okay Vampire Barbie, this is the time to shine. Put those twisted social skills to the test. I can't save you this time, so find the strongest and make meat with them" He said and reluctantly pulled her into a hug. "I expect you to be coming back" Damon said pulling out of the embrace, and out of the door.
"He means well" Stefan said breaking me out of my trance. I nodded, staring blankly at the wall again. "Look, even when you were human, you were strong and fierce. You are Caroline Forbes. If you can survive Mystic Falls, you can survive this poor excuse for entertainment. Your my best friend. You're a rock to everyone Caroline. Without you Mystic Falls could never be the same." He kissed the top of my head before walking smoothly out of the door.
That was my last visitor. Or so I thought. The door creaked open and there stood the bane of my existence. Klaus Mikaelson. He didn't move forward. He didn't embrace me. He stood there and sighed, "I've told you before love, there's a whole world out there waiting for you. Great cities, and art, and music. Genuine beauty. And you could have had all of it." He looked at me his eyes pierced mine. "I wanted you to have it, even without me, love." He sighed again and before I knew it he was right in front of me. "Caroline, this wasn't supposed to happen. You had a great life in front of you, and I wanted to make sure you lived it." My eyes closed as he kissed the edge of my lips and slipped something into my hand.
Before I knew it, he was gone. I looked down into my hand, and quickly unfolded the parchment. It was the most beautiful painting. It was everyone from Mystic Falls Bonnie, Elena, Tyler even Rebekah. And in the corner in almost unreadable font it said, 'I will always remember, Love Klaus.
District 4- Ingrid
So what I'm stuck in this stinking games, this is something I've prepared for. I'm the daughter of Dracula and the (unfortunate) sister of Vlad, the chosen one. I want my revenge, revenge for all of his chosen business. Dad who just visited me told me he did care about me and would have been proud of me as heir if I was a boy. I felt elation and acceptance, but then he told me that I should help 'Vladdy' win. I don't care who wins but I hope it's a girl, will serve my brother and father right. Actually, no I hope it's me. So I plan for my revenge.
District 6- Chrissie
"Oh marvellous, how on earth am I supposed to win now." Chrissie huffed after Lucy told her of the vampires of the other districts.
"I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation, on how they expect you to participate" Shona reasoned. "Just prepare your food provisions right at the start, avoid any others, including Simon."
"I hope your better at the food provisions then last time" Leon chuckled
"Oh ha ha Leon, this is serious situation and all you can do is laugh" Chrissie sputtered walking back and forth as Leon put his hands up in mock surrender.
"Look, Chrissie, this is no time to be gettin angry. I think ya need to find an alliance, even with Simon." Harry stated
"No, I don't think Simon would help, remember what he was like at the start, and not to mention his traitorous acts." Shona reasoned again.
"But Shona, Harry's right, you can't win the Games alone, you have to find someone strong and join them" Lucy nauseatingly said stopping Chrissie from her walk.
"Oh calm down would ya, you've spent weeks surviving in fauna and flora," David frustrated and Sarah added "Not to mention running from Aliens and Stanich."
"Yea but we didn't do it, we just saw it on tape..."
District 8- RachelRachel was in tears after being visited by her friends. How was she supposed to become a Broadway legend. It was her dreams, her ambitions, her life. It was her life and she wouldn't be able to live it. She had a sweet taste of it but she craved more. All her memories would be of the Glee Club and Slushies. Finn, even in the time of sadness, had demanded I choose between him and Brody. I had chosen Brody, simply for the fact, that he never made me choose and put me in impossible situations. Finn had left kicking the chair, without even a goodbye or a do well. Sam came in with Brody, which was odd they'd never met. Sam told her that Finn didn't deserve her, told her to break a leg and she was the best prom date. Brody lingered a bit, he wished me luck and told me to believe in myself. He kissed me goodbye and hoped to see me soon.
Santana and Britney came next, they had gotten back together. Britney told her that her cat said that she could win it, he was psychic. Santana regretted not teaching her to bring out the inner berry and she demanded me to try some then. Mercedes, Kurt and Blaine had come in saying that they refuse to lose their best friend they cried and hugged.
Quinn however left her with the words she will remember through the games 'Your strong, Rachel, if I was you, I could never make it through High school. You've always believed in yourself, don't ever lose that quality."
District 11- Hermione
The Weasley clan minus Ron, Bill and Charlie had already visited and Hermione was already sobbing. She had a life in front of her and they had only just won the war. She then felt a pair of familiar arms wrap around her. She looked up to see Ginny, she started memorizing her face and then she continued to Blaise standing next to her. "Stop that," Blaise said demandingly.
"Blaise its alright," Ginny scolded
"No, Hermione, I know your memorizing us, so that when you go into the games and d-pass on. You'll remember us."
"Mione, you are the brightest witch of our age and anyway like you could forget a face like mine." Ginny said turning her attention away from her boyfriend. Hermione smiled and meekly whispered "I'm sorry." They hugged and cried for the next few minutes they had together before Ginny left, not being able to restrain herself from sobbing like a mad woman. Blaise lingered behind.
"I could never thankyou enough that you got me and Gin together. I could never be more sorry for all that I've done. Just know that I'm trying to help you, Draco's changed. I know none of you accept him. But between life and death he could be your best shot."
"Her-Hermione," A voice said from behind the door. Harry. "I know, you can hear me. No. Don't. Say. Anything. Don't move. We, we will always, always share a special bond. Brother, sister. Best Fri- . You stayed with me through thick and thin. I don't know what we could have done to deserve someone as beautiful, inside and out. I love you. You're the only fam- I don't know what I'll do without you." Harry lingered for a second before knocking on the door once and walked away. Hermione sunk to her knees, but before long she had two other visitors.
"Mia, I saw Harry storm out. No one wants to lose you. I said to myself that I'd never admit this but I just wanted to thank you for everything. I never deserved your forgiveness. You know none of us can handle more- of that" Pansy said hugging her friend, kissing both cheeks before stalking of to find Harry.
"Luna"
"Hermione, you should stop over thinking things."
"I can't handle this all the crying, the pity" Hermione said spitting the last couple of word out
"No of course you don't. But for every action there has to be a reason why it happens. The goblet never gives us random names."
"But-"
"I believe that everyone who is at least human has some worth of forgiveness. Dumbledore's speech could do more good than bad." Luna finished her odd words of wisdom before holding Hermione's gaze for a few seconds and disappearing from a confused Hermione's sight. Forgiveness. Surely she wasn't talking about me...
District 12- Hunger Games
Katniss was really wondering why weren't the odds in her favour. The Hunger games. Twice. The Rebellion. The loss of district 12. Her father dying. Killing. Friends lost. Peeta and her fallout as friends. Gale almost killing her sister. And so on and so on. She knew that saying 'yes' to one more Hunger Games would bring some serious repercussions and yes it did. She had already had three visitors Gale, her mother and Prim. With the same encouragement from the first games. Gale also reminded me that 'I've done this before and survived a rebellion so I should be able to do it again.'
Apparently though I had two more visitors. The door creaked open and there stood Finnick Odair. "This is not a time for pleasantries, you need alliances. I don't care District 2, 10 or 163. You can not be as hostile as you were last time." Finnick held up his hand when Katniss opened her mouth to retort back. "No, Katniss, we are victors. Victors. You've done this. You know your perfectly capable and I will be watching your every move."
"I know Finnick, but how, I don't have the Peeta thing going for me now. Actually I don't have Peeta at all."
"You have me, Haymitch and your little sister Prim. Just find someone like us, or if not someone like you. You can have many friends Katniss, you just chose not to."
"But-"
"Okay, remember Rue. Which district was she from, maybe you can make some alliances with them."
"District 11?"
"Ahh, the Harry Potter District"
"The Harry botter, what?"
"Potter, it doesn't matter. We've faced hardship, probably more than any other district. You deserve to win." He rubbed my hair and stalked out of the room.
I sat back down into my chair, until someone knocked on the door. "I know, you have a tendency to break promises and I wanted you to promise you'd come back. But then I thought, 'hey' I'm turning over a new leaf and I don't want to admit but your strong. So I demand you do all in your power to come back home."
"I can only try Johanna."
"And try you will, if not for our district, then for your sister, Prim."
"Prim's more than capable of handling things without me."
"If not for Prim, then for me. Katniss, you helped through a time when I thought I could never recover. I learnt to trust someone after a long time. If I'm not enough, then do it for everyone who stood by you in the rebellion. I want to call you my friend. Girl on Fire. I believe and now all you have to do is believe yourself." Johanna said and slithered at the door before Katniss shouted "You are enough"
Okay, sponsors (reviewers), how did you enjoy the story. I love criticism. If you have any questions like, why did Elena choose Stefan? Because she is still a human in my story. So if or when Caroline or Tyler return it will be Damn and Stefan fighting for Vampire Elena's love and the cure saga wouldn't have started and Klaus almost killing Caroline wouldn't have either.
Anyway, who do you want in for the male visits? Who are you rooting for? Who do you sponsor?
And may the odds be ever in your favour...
