Chapter 3

I walk up the steps to the stage where Levena and Ashley stand looking down at me. what have I just done to my self, its like I just gave myself to a slaughterhouse. infect I did I wont win this, Ill be killed in 5 seconds right at the blood bath. " what your name sweetie " Levena says to me squeaking a little. " Alce Lombardi " I say very soft and quiet.

"OUR DISTRICT 7 TRIBUTS, ASHLEY PENINGTION AND ALEC LOMBARDI." Levena screams into the microphone. You can tell she is existed and can wait for the slaughter to begin. but the crowd does not reflect this back infect they are all in tears of loosing 2 more kids in the capitals game infect losing 23 kids to the capital each and every year.

" lets go you two we have a lot in store" Levena says prancing into the big cherry doors of the justice building. I look back at the crowd but the only one that stands out is Gino with the biggest grin on is face staring at me like a meal. I bet he cant wait to tell his father about the excitement that went on at the reaping's. the two of them will probe staring at the screen when the clock starts, which will be my last 60 minutes.

Two peace keeper take Ashley off to a small room and then two more come infect the same ones take my to another room across the hall. I sit in a chair and look out the window into the lush forest it really hard to see do to the bars blocking most of my vision but I can still see some of the forest, quiet, peaceful. the door slaps open. I don't wont to look because it is probe the peacekeeper's again. but I hear clapping and then " way to go brother , saving the poor little cripple" Gino says to me smirking at me, I can feel it making the hairs on my back stand, but this time I wont let him get the better of me. " what do you want" I say griping my fist. " I just came to say good by to my only brother and to tell you I will look after mother... when you die of coarse" Gino says laughing like a hyena. I stand showing my dominance and turn around and tackle him to the ground. " what your mother I don't think so, I will be back for her and with a lot of money to take her away from you savages and live in the victors village, get her on house infect" I start to see Gino start to get really nervous like I am going to kill him but I am not that person. I stand up getting off his body and open the door and push him out. and then the room falls silent yet again. I wonder what will the capital look like, I know the people dress like clowns but what do the buildings look like, I heard that they are candy colored and that everyone sleeps all day and party's all night. but they do love there hunger games, what type of sick people like seeing 12 - 18 of age being killed every year for excitement.

The door opens breaking the silence yet again and the peacekeepers come in and they grip my shoulder tight like I am in a lot of trouble and walk me towards the door. we leave the justice building and enter a electric blue car it long and has gold color tires. I enter the car ducking so I don't hit my head, the seats are this violet color and are very comfortable. the car start and we are on our way to the train station and that will take us to the capital and the capital will bring me to my grave.

Just has the car is rounding the corner I start to here "wait wait"

"Do you hear that?" I asked Levena

"What do you hear "ask Levena confused

"wait, I want to say good by to my son"

" THERE IT IS AGAIN, STOP THE CAR!" I screamed at the driver

" O the cab driver cant hear you, its sound proof" says Levena, "well who ever it was there gone know." says Levena still confused on who Alec heard.

"O where here lets get out of the car know my back side hurt, lets go come on out ya go." Levena cheerful to be leaving the district.

" ouch, don't touch me" say Ashley as she is pushed out of the car.

" um I will just go out the other side door, I'll let you guys to your self" I say laughing to my self as Ashley is pushed out.

" know that that is done and over with we are know going to board the train, like I said we have lots to do we have to be at the capital by 3:00 and it is 2:00 so up we go" Levena says still pushing Ashley this time up the steps of the train.

" when we get on the train we are treated with fruit, desert and other sweet things, my favorite is this pink candy color fruit that taste like apple sauce with a hint of sugar.

" where are the mentors" ask Ashley staring at Levena

Levena's face goes cold," didn't they get into the car with us" Levena says quietly.

" um, no" Ashley says

" o I am sure they are in there bedrooms I will go check" Levena says rushing down the hallway trying not to make it obvious that they did not board the train with us.

" great know we have no mentors" Ashley says angrily.

" OOO I FOUND A NOTE" Levena screams in relief

dear, Alec, Ashley

blight and I cant wait to meet you but sadly we had to go straight to the capital to set up the rooms. because some people cant get it right! so I trust that Levena will get you in one peace in time for the tribute parade at least I hope see is a little well I am sure you know

sincerely,

Johanna and blight

" what do you think of me, what does she mean" ask Levena

"who knows its Johanna" I said to Levena to make it seem like Johanna is crazy and does not know what she is talking about.

"o, ya right I think she got hit in the side of the head in her games." Levena says which makes Ashley and me laugh for the first time and not about what she is wearing.

train wisel blows

"yes final we are here" Levena says happy to be home but I think more cheerful to be out of the train.

we exit the train and there is about half a million people here all dressed like clowns or as they call fashion

We then go in the middle of a bunch of piece keepers that protects us from any fans that would die just to touch a tribute. then they bring us to this amazing building 12 stories high which I recognize where I will be staying for the next 5 days.
