Ok, this is the first chapter which is from the POV of the tributes- I'm so nervous lol, some are longer than others, like the first one is big and then the last is quite small, but for the small ones I just want you to get an Idea of their personality it will be expanded at a later point, also there are only 4 tributes here, you will get to know some others during Chariots, Training, Interviews and stuff xx anyway..hope you enjoy this; please leave a review.x
Griffin Ivory (District 6 boy)
The train ride was lonely; that girl was lucky, someone from the capitol actually volunteered for her. I sat at the table; pencil in hand and concentrating on a map of last year's arena after watching last year's games. There had to be a way out didn't there? No one builds anything without an exit; I just had to find it.
"Right, Griffin, what's the plan?" my mentor Pip asked me as she pushed the newspaper down onto the table. I shrugged my shoulders not taking my eyes away from the map.
Pip reached over and grabbed the map; she screwed it up and threw it out of the window, "Hey!" I protested. "Griffin, this is serious, no one from District 6 has won for the past fifteen years, and someone needs to win. I'd rather it not be the capitol girl seeing as she isn't from District 6, so that leaves me with you, what are your skills?"
I sighed, "I don't know, I can run, I'm smart, I can use electrical equipment," she leant back in her chair, as if she was thinking about what to do.
"Well District 3 is smart," she thought out loud.
"I came from District 3," I whispered under my breath. She looked up at me and raised her eyebrows,
"I don't know, maybe that would be too obvious an alliance, definitely not the careers," she shook her head and leaned forward, "Two choices, one, Join an alliance, a strong one. Or two, run away and hide through the entirety of the games."
I thought about this for a moment, who would I make an alliance with? Would anyone want a small fourteen year old boy from 6?
"I'll try and find an alliance," I said. She looked impressed with me and smiled.
"What about this Floss girl?" I asked her, wondering what I should do with the girl from the capitol, despite her not being from District 6. She did give up her life for Dolly so I don't really want her to face the games on her own."
She shrugged her shoulders, "Drag her along if you wish, I don't really care. They are about to broadcast the reapings, you should watch, work out any potential allies." I wandered over to the TV screen and sat in front of it. Right on cue the bubbly escort Florrie made her entrance.
"Ah, Reapings, how exciting," she sang, we had only been on this train a couple of hours and already she was annoying me. She took her seat next to me as the reapings began.
Twig Spring (District 10 boy)
I wasn't paying much attention to the reapings; our mentor Joss has already told us that the best thing for us would be to either go at it alone or stick together. Tansy seemed like a nice girl, we hadn't talked much but I could tell she was very strong and independent.
"Yep, I'd definitely say stick together," Joss told us. The reapings were over. Tansy smiled at me and I tried to smile back. "We'll talk strategies later, but one thing I'm certain on is that you two need to run from the cornucopia; don't even attempt to take part in the blood bath, got it?" We nodded at him as he stood up to get a drink.
I looked down at Tansy's arm, on them lay bruises and marks. I wondered how she'd got them but I didn't feel like it was anything to do with me.
"Allies, I guess," Tansy said, I nodded. I couldn't help but think a larger alliance would have been better but, I guess Joss knows what he's talking about.
"So, what you good at?" she asked me.
I shrugged, "I know about animals and plants." I told her; I thought back to my job in District 10, I worked in a barn, taking care of animals. I loved animals, I could really relate to them.
"I see, well, I'm fast and I have good aim." I nodded; she had such a better chance than me at winning these games.
Silver Fairbain (District 1 girl)
'Weak' 'weak' 'please' I continually said throughout the reapings, the only person who seemed even worthy of making an alliance with was that boy from 2. It seemed to me that this year's career alliance would be somewhere on the short side.
I looked over at wads, he hadn't stopped looking at that stupid locket since we got here; there was no way that I would form an alliance with that weakling.
"Well?" the mentor came at sat by us.
"District 2 boy and maybe the District 4 tributes, I need to see what they can do before I decide," Cadence nodded in approval.
"What about you?" she said half-heartedly to Wade, Wade shrugged; he hadn't watched any of the games. "You best start looking for allies if you want to stay alive longer than two minutes. Anyway, Silver, have you thought about the District 3 tributes? They are smart, they could come in handy," she asked me.
Of course, the District 3 tributes were part of the reason Cadence won her games. She joined the Careers at first and then ran off with the District 3 tributes. They set up bombs and electrical traps which killed of all the tributes. Finally when it was just she and the two of them; all she had to do was snap their necks; they didn't put up much of a fight.
"Maybe, I'll see what the others say."
Jai Cobat (District 12 boy)
'I'm going to die, I'm going to die' I repeated to myself, I wasn't at all confident at winning these games.
"Are you ok?" Adena asked me, I nodded, Adena was a nice girl; quiet but nice. I don't know whether we would form an alliance in the arena, it probably depended on what might happen.
"We're almost there guys!" Our escort Lilith called, I looked out of the wince to see many people wearing ridiculous outfits. Just think; wed be in the arena with one of these people; I wondered how crazy she looked. That girl who she volunteered for is one lucky girl.
Soon it would be our turn to be dressed up in ridiculous outfits for our chariot ride.
Anyway, I know Jai's was short I just wanted to write a little for District 12 to give you an idea, will be expanded on xxx Please Review! xoxo
