Artist at Heart: Art Tower.
Hello! It's now the next chapter! I have been planning on how long this story will be and I've come up with about 18 chapters and this is only the second one! Got a long way to go.
Hope you enjoy!
Sakura was dressed for her fight and boy was she nervous. She couldn't believe this was happening.
All she wanted was to paint pictures. Not get involved with the new capital hunger games.
"Get moving!" Said the guard. Sakura learned to hold her tongue a while back as a child.
She was brought to a party once and Snow heard her talking.
"It is better to hold one's tongue then to make yourself look the fool." He told her.
And she watched herself ever since. All she really was doing was defending her father and brother.
Not that it mattered anyway.
As Sakura was brought to a small room with glass. More like a tiny tube. "Get in!" The guard said.
Sakura did as he said and as he closed it he grinned.
That grin was going to hunt her for the whole game possibly. As the floor began to move Sakura fell to the floor waiting for it to stop.
It stopped once it reached the top where she could see all the others who were taken from their homes and off the streets possibly.
"No! I don't want to be here!" She said. "How did I get into this mess?" She asked herself.
The answer was right there. In her blood. She was born and raised in the capital. That is how she was in this mess.
The timer started to count down.
This was it. Sakura would have to kill to survive. She may not have liked the games but watched them anyway. She always felt bad about seeing young kids her age die in an arena.
5...
Soon Sakura would be living her nightmares.
4...
Not even Toya could save her from this.
3...
Sakura closed her eyes. Remembering how she watched Katniss suffer...
2...
When Rue died Sakura couldn't stand to watch these games anymore. Not even after the 75th celebration. Or watching her whole home be turned into an arena itself.
1...
Sakura was going to die.
START!
"Stay still!" Whispered a voice. Sakura opened up her eyes to only be pulled away from her start and from the center of the whole arena.
Sakura couldn't speak. She was getting dragged away and couldn't scream for help. She was done for.
"Will you stop struggling!" Shouted a female voice.
Sakura froze. She didn't want to know who this was but she really didn't like this voice. As it turned out she was a hero.
"Here we are. Now stay quiet. Or else they will find us." Said the woman.
Sakura couldn't believe her eyes. "Katniss Everdeen." She said.
Katniss smiled for only a second.
Voices came from around the corner but soon went away. "Phew." She said.
"What is the hero doing here?" Sakura asked.
"Toya. Your brother. Ran right into my house. Hidden in the forest. He begged me to help him get you back. I've been helping kids who get taken to this...terrible place." She explained.
"But why?" Sakura didn't understand.
"I'm braking the promise I made these people." Katniss looked sad. "Gale should be here somewhere. He can also help. And someone on the inside has sent in the wolf in here. He is one swords men you don't want to cross." She warned.
"Katniss. Why are you breaking a promise?" Sakura didn't like that answer.
"Because. They have my Peeta and Daughter."
Sorry it's short but we got to eat at some point.
Hope you like chapter 2!
See you next time!
