Chapter 4
Disclaimer: I don't own hunger games, nor anything that you may assume is from real life. I give credit to their creators.
Seths perspective
As me and my partner roll out on the chariot I could feel how nervous she was. Her whole body shaking in fear. I looked at her smiled then looked at the people in the stands. The heartless people that watch us battle to our death, enjoying it.
I started to think what would happen if a child from the capitol got put in the hunger games. I think that would cause controvers. Yet when innocent 12 year olds from 'lesser' districts get put in no one cares.
They sit behind their safe little screens and watch and if they aren't enjoying it the game master manages to find a way to sverely injure and bring people closer together causing fights.
Amors perspective
I was filled with fear. This chariot was esstenialy the start of my ride to death. I looked over at Robur. He looked so confident, his tanned face and glowing smiling. I heard the roll of the other chariot's. My heart started to pound, I could feel my shoulders tense up, my breathing got heavier.
Their were going to be thousands of people cheering. Making bets on who dies first and who wins. Tons of people I have to impress just to get a chance to maybe survive. Before I knew it our chariot started to start rolling on. I gave Robur one last smile before we smiled at the crowd.
Roburs perspective
Our chariot started to roll. I was rolling to the audience, the audience that wanted me dead. I looked over at Amor she looked so scared, but who wouldn't be. My heart was racing. I could feel the blood rushing to my head.
I grabbed her hand out of pure instinct. It seemed like the right thing to do in the moment. As we rolled out in front of people I could see her put ona smile. A gorgeous amazing smile. The smile that saved me.
The smile that kept me going when my mom died. The smile that saved me when my brother was killed in the freak accident. The smile that made me smile now.
(Time skip too interveiws.)
Seths perspective
The male for district 1 had just gone up for their interview. As I heard the 'cheers' from the crowd I looked around. Their was a girl nervously moving around. She looked pretty good in the firey red dress she was wearing. But she she didn't look like she was comfortable in it.
"Hey kid." I said as I walked over to her. I could see the surprise and annoyance in her face.
"I appreciate the try, but Im not a kid." She quickly scoffed out at me.
I chuckled a little as I put out my hand and said "I'm Seth."
"Amor." She said hesitating to shake my hand. Her big green eyes looked up into my brown ones. "I know you probably volunteered for this. Your appearance gives it away. Don't try to get in my head." She said some what angerily too me.
"Where's Seth Little from district 3!" Someone yelled out. It was my turn to go up.
I gave one look back to Amor "No I didn't, but your feisty I like that." I gave her a little wink and walked too where I was to go. As I walked up on stage I listened to the cheers of the crowd. I sat down and said "Hello." as I shook the hosts hand.
"So, Seth we all saw you and your partner rockin' that blue tunic last night." He looked at me waiting for a response.
"Well, it was just lovely wearing it." I said laughing a little. The crowd as if on cue responded with a laugh.
"Well I'm glad to see you apreciated your stylists style of clothes. But down to buisness, according to your partner you told her she was going to be the strongest 12 year old in the arena this year, were you telling the truth?" He asked.
"Well why would I lie to someone so innocent." I responded blankly.
"Thats nice too know." The host said looking at me. "Whats your strategy in the hunger games?"
"Well, Winter if I told you that I'd have to kill you." I said chuckling as the audience laughed with me. The host started to laugh too.
"Well, that's all the time you have Seth, see you in the games." He smiled out at the crowd and annouced the next person as I walked off.
Amors Perspective
I was confused at what had just happened. Was that Seth guy trying to get in my head. But he wasn't someone that wanted this trechary. But I had to not focus on him, I had to focus on not freezing up out their. "What was that about?" Robur questioned.
"I don't really know." I aid still confused. I started to move my fingers on my side
"Oh well, good luck, your up soon." He said looking down then back up at me.
"Thanks." I smiled at him. He acctually looked more nervous then a tick for once. I watched as he walked away to go mentally prepare himself. The waiting to go up was nerve racking. Everyone that went up seemed to have a way with words. They seemed like it was all daisys and roses.
It wasn't long till I heard
"Amor Lockington from district 12!" My heart started to pound harder than ever. I walked up too the stage.
"Hi." I said as I shook the hosts hand. His fake smileing glaring at me. We both sat down.
"So Amor, at your reaping it looked like you and Robur had a little bit of a, you could say an amor connection." He said mocking the fact my name ment love.
"Oh, that well me and him were pretty close when we were younger. I guess you could say we have a friendship connection." I responded nervously.
"Well, thats lovely." The host said looking at me. "You seem quite nervous, why is that?"
"Well sir, with all due respect who wouldn't be. I'm up here in front of s bunch of people who are going to watch me murder or get mudered. And you all you want to do is get juicy little tid bits out of us so you can populaize us before we go get killed and some kid from district 1, 2, or 5 wins or by the off chance that some kid from another district wins." As I finished my rant I enraged walked off stage. I didn't care if I lost people that could donate to give me the thing that made me winner.
"What the heck was that!" My mentor yelled at me. I just glared at her.
Roburs perspective
That was crazy what she had just did. But I had no time to think about it, it was my turn. "Hello." I said as I shook the host's hand. He had no where near a smile on his face.
"Well, Robur your partner, she is a bit feisty." He emphasized the word bit and the word feisty.
"She's just protective. She has to be because her little brother looks up to her." I responding hoping that would bump up peoples opinion on her.
"Well, lets stoptalking about her and talk about you. Do you have any connections with her?" The host asked.
"As much connnection as she said we had."
He gave me an odd look and said "Well, thats very nice too know it won't be as difficult as it was for your mentor back in her year."
"Yeah, but I hope it doesn't happen still, what she went through was horrible." I looked down at my hands.
"I doubt it will, but do you plan too team with your partner?" He asked.
"I don't really have any plans yet. Maybe I will maybe I won't. As I said I don't know yet." I responded.
"Very unspecific answer, but your times up." He said as I got up and left the stage.
