Dimitri Strallen's POV

I have been training for this day my entire life. On this day my journey begins. Today I volunteer for the Hunger Games. I trained all last night. Sort of last minute studying. I was hacking of dummies heads when the first streaks of daylight streaked across the field. I moved to the trees to practice camouflage. It was infuriating. I would've kept my hair its original brown if I had known how hard it is to camouflage blond hair. Honestly how hard is it to cover yourself in mud? Oh well, I'm a career I don't need to use camouflage. I had climbed up a tree pretending to be the trunk when I heard a branch snap beneath me.

I looked down. I saw Glint Harrow enter the clearing. He's 15 this year and a weakling. I watched him swagger around the trees looking for something. For someone so scrawny he has an ego the size of the Capitol. I stand still and wait until he's underneath me then I ponce. He gives a slight yelp as i crashed into his back sending him to the ground. I hop off him giving him a chance to get up. As soon as he's on his feet I charged and punched him in his gut. I grabbed his sleeve and pulled him into a headlock.

"What do you want squirt?" I snarled menacingly. I could feel him shaking.
"I just have to deliver a message from Sapphire." He quavered. I scowled. Sapphire was the head honcho back at the 'care' home and she treated all of us (the people no one wants) like we are worthless. She treats us like her own personal slaves.
"Out with it then!" I growled giving Glint a firm shake.
"Ah, she said that you have to come back now so you can get ready for the Reaping." He spluttered.

Scowling, I shoved Glint back. I actually enjoy the look of fear on others face. I had gotten in troble for fighting at school. I didn't care. I heard that all the good careers were fighters, even at school. Glint took one looked at my face and scarpered. I smirked. Slowly I made my way back to the home. I opened the door to a bunch of kids running, screaming and generally making themselves. "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" Sapphire saw me.
"Training." I shrugged. Sapphire had really long honey blond hair (which I thought was died) and ice blue eyes which pierced into you without any hint of mercy. I suppose that if I was like 20 years older and didn't know her I might find her kinda hot.
"Well get your butt upstairs to get changed. You wouldn't want to be the only tribute who is dressed in rags would you?" she snapped.

I marched up the stairs and up to my bedroom which was once a broom closet. I tugged my shirt over my head revealing my rock hard abs. I looked in the mirror and smirked. With my platinum blond hair which was styled to look messy and my fathomless dark blue eyes I was the perfect candidate to win sponsors and ultimately the games. I looked at my buff body and smiled, no one will be able to resist tall, tan handsome me. I quickly changed into some dark pants and a plain white t-shirt which showed off all my muscle.

"ARE YOU READY YET?" I heard Sapphire screech up the stairs. I quickly ran a hand through my ruffled hair then made my way downstairs. We all walked to the district square together. Amazingly Sapphire had managed to track down all the younger kids and dress them in their very best. When we finally got there, after ignoring all the usually jibes, we dispersed to go to our separate ways. I ambled to the 16's section confident that I would be the one to enter these games to represent district 1.

This reaping stared the same as every other. The mayor prattled on about how good the capitol was. I tuned out. I actually approve of the capitol and their methods of controlling others but I had heard this speech ever since I could walk. I vaguely heard the words 'May the odds be forever in your favour'. I started to pay attention. The mayor handed the microphone to our escort who grinned happily at us.

"I'm so happy to be back in district 1." She tittered. Her hair this year was pink to match her skirt and shoes. Her top was white. "It's just so great to see you all." She gushed. I rolled my eyes. This escort was plain annoying. When I am crowned victor I will have to talk with the Head Gamemaker about having her changed to a lesser district. "Now for those boys," she giggled which I'm sure she meant flirtatiously. She picked a piece of paper.

"Glint Harrow!" I looked at Glint in the 15s section. I laughed. He looked like he just crapped in his pants.
"I'll volunteer." I was still snickering as I said it. I stuck my hand up and composed myself. I strode up to the stage to take my place as the Male District 1 Tribute.
"your name?"

"Dimitri Strallen but you can call me the 52nd Victor." I winked making the 30 year old escort blush. I was completely revolted but kept my face smiling. I turned to face the girls wondering which one I would have to kill. My journey had begun.

Sparkle Capri's POV

This guy, Dimitri Strallen was so full of himself. I mean winking at our escort. She's like 35 or something. That's just gross. I straightened my dress and attached my token, a purple butterfly hairclip. Next would come the girls and I wanted to look so hot that even Mr Arrogant himself would want to ally with me. I already knew that half the boys in the district had a crush on me. Hopefully Dimitri does as well. Of course I could do so much better than him. I inherited the best features from both of my parents. Tall, blond (platinum) and blue eyed I had no trouble getting guys. The trouble came when they do not realise that I no longer want to be their girlfriend but my sword soon passes the message.

Our escort started off again in a bit of a fluster. "Now for those lovely Ladies."
She looked at the paper, "Gemma,"

"I volunteer." I shouted. All eyes turned so I put on my best smile, sexy but I can still kill you if I want, and walked forward. I saw guys eyes shoot out on stalks. Oh yeah I am good. I climbed up the stairs to the stage. "Sparkle Capri." I told our idiot escort. She nodded looking a bit put off from the way everyone was staring. I smirked.

"District 1 I give you your Tributes for the 52nd Hunger Games!" she announced. I looked over at Dimitri who was till drooling and gave him my sweetest smile.

This would be fun.
