McFly Hunger Games

by imnemocomeandfindme

The title says it all really. McFly are in the Hunger Games! Written in 3rd person but mostly from Tom's perspective. If you want to know what each district does, or aren't that familiar with the hunger games in general, then this will help: thehungergames./wiki/Panem . I love getting reviews, even if I can't reply! Enjoy!

2. On the train

Tom has eaten the best meal of his life, but not too much or he knows he'll make himself sick. He talked to the girl from his district a little, but she was in tears and seemed to get more and more hysterical the further they got from their district, so he settled down to watch the other tributes getting picked, thinking he might as well see what he's up against.

There's the usual crowds of volunteers from Districts 1, 2 and 4. They are all muscled and athletic-looking, and seem thrilled to be a part of the games, except the boy from District 2, who looks slightly sullen at being chosen, which Tom wouldn't normally notice, but he's from a career district so it's unusual. The girl next to him looks thrilled at the opportunity, and Tom can't help but notice how beautiful she is, and what a waste it is that she will either be killed, or will end up a killer.

The other districts are much the same as usual, with a few tributes really too young to be in the competition, and it's unfair, Tom thinks, because even though he has no training or anything, he still stands a better chance than, for example, the boy from District 3, who faints on the spot when they say his name, and has to be carried up to the stage.

The only one he really notices, though, is the boy from District 7. When the name is called, he looks up, slightly startled, but like he almost expected it all along. Then one of the girls in the section starts screaming: "Not my brother! Not Danny!" and he looks round, and starts pushing through the crowd to her as peacekeepers try to get through to them too, but there are too many people around them and Danny gets to the girl just as she begins to say "I volunt.." but he punches her, hard, in the side of her head, knocking her out straight away, just before the peacekeepers get to him and pull him back. The capitol woman at the front leans forward and says, in a voice that only trembles slightly, "Did she say she wanted to volunteer?" and Danny is shaking his head and calling out "No" but the peacekeepers overpower him and push him to the ground to stop him struggling, the crowd moving back as if scared to touch them. The capitol woman decides that because she didn't finish before she was knocked out, it doesn't count, and the crowd breathes a sigh of relief. Everyone is told to go home, as Danny is pulled off to the side, still struggling, and the camera fades out to the next district just as the sister starts to come round.
