Disclaimer: I do not own the Hunger Games!
Arabellia Feliois was thrilled. The reapings for the 500th Hunger Games were in two weeks, and she couldn't wait. She was currently watching Marsulla RĂ© on Reliving the Games, a show where Marsulla would watch a Hunger Games, and then comment on it, highlighting the best moments, and at times getting a gamemaker to comment on how they made the arena, or even getting the Victor of that games for their opinion. This only seemed to happen with careers though, for some reason the other districts never wanted to watch the games.
At the moment, Marsulla was talking about the 475th Hunger Games, the 19th Quarter Quell. The twist that year was that only 12 year olds were reaped, and District 3's Emma Creed had won.
Lia hadn't yet been born during those games, but she had seen the reruns of it, and could remember Emma's brilliant traps, killing off half the tributes with out even laying a finger on them. Emma was one of her favorite Victors because when she was 7, she had met the then 20 year old Victor. She couldn't remember much, but she did remember that Emma was wearing a beautiful sleeveless aqua blue dress and that all her friends had been incredibly jealous.
Lia was 24 now, and her husband was a top Gamemaker.
Hector first became a Gamemaker three years ago, and it had greatly elevated Lia's social status, getting her invited to elite parties all over the capital.
Lia smiled, remembering Cara Ryla's Victory party several months ago. It was a huge party, held at the President's Mansion, and Lia had managed to meet Cara. She hadn't been able to talk long, for some reason Cara seemed to be upset. Lia couldn't fathom why, after all, Cara had won the Hunger Games, was famous, and was at an amazing party for her!
Hearing Marsulla laugh, Lia looked back towards the screen, seeing her laugh at the funny death of the district 9 boy. Lia couldn't help but laugh with her, after all, the boy had the funniest look on his face as he was being choked to death.
As she was laughing, Lia remembered why she had been upset earlier. She honestly couldn't believe she had forgot. Hector had given her a hint to the arena, but she couldn't figure it out! Just thinking about it she couldn't help but sigh in frustration. He had told her the arena was confusing, whatever that meant.
Lia had even asked her two best friends Seraphina and Ellarinatha for help but they couldn't figure it out either.
Lia suddenly looked at her clock. She quickly flew off the couch, grabbing her purse and running out the door. Speaking of Sera and Rina, she was supposed to meet them for lunch!
A/N: I have 22 tributes so far (over a third:D), and they are really amazing. I only have 2 open spots left in District 2, and 1 in District 11 and I'm thinking once I have 40 tributes I will start with the reapings. I gave you all a hint to the arena, if any of you can figure it out :). Once again, thanks to all of you that have submitted, and if you haven't yet, please do!
