Chapter Two: Explanation

I'm in the Limo and we were off, the Year 12 speaks first.

"This is exciting. Me with 2 little people on a reality show. I'm Daniel by the way." He says.

"I'm Britney, nice too met you." Britney says and extends her hand expecting a shake. She outs it down when Daniel shakes his head.

"And I'm Alicia." Alicia says to break the silence. Everyone looks at me.

"We were all their when they called our names," I point to Britney and Alicia, "And I know you both personally." I snap.

"Geez, were just coming up with conversation Tyler, no need to yell." Daniel replies, calm and smooth.

One of the red uniformed guys comes into the back of the limo.

"So guys. A reality show isn't going down in Picton, but you guys will get lots of funds to your town if you win." He said that in a voice I wouldn't expect from him. "You're gonna have to fight for survival. We're gonna put you in an arena and set you up in a circle. There will be a bunch of bags in the middle called the cornucopia, you can run and try to get something or hide. After that there are only a few rules. Fight for survival, don't cannibalize, and last man, or school, standing wins the funds. Meaning you can team up, or kill each other, yes you're gonna be killers. And if you run, you'll be shot on the spot. So don't think about it. We will set you guys in a fancy hotel. Letting your friends and family come and met you. Say good bye. And we will treat you the best as we can before the games begin. Their called the Hunger Games. The other schools just got told this exact thing. So good luck. And may the odds be ever in your favour." He goes out to the front again.

I sit their quite. Daniel looks pleased, Britney looks pale. Alicia looks the same. Of course. It would be hard to scare her. She probably thinks he's joking. But I've read the Hunger Games archive. A secret archive hidden by the government. Travi showed me. I thought it was something he made up. Now I know that the government's plan for entertainment it true. Travi won't know that I'm gonna die until he sees that advertisements. Or could I tell him in the hotel. Will he even come?
