I feel all eyes on me as I board the train to the capital. I never would have thought that my name would be reaped, but it was and now I will be shipped to the capital to play their stupid, bloody games. I will probably be underestimated because of my height, but I have determination to win and that is all that counts.
The first room I see is the dinning cart and my eyes instantaneously find the glorious capital food. In the corner of the room is a chocolate fountain and I run my hand through the dark, liquid heaven and stick my fingers in my mouth. The chocolate immediately melts in my mouth and leaves me wanting more. I stick my finger in again and let the chocolate run over my hands. Chocolate is a rare indulgence for me, and I seldom ever get to have it because it costs so much money.
I remember for my birthday, the parents that adopted me gave me a chocolate birthday cake and I thought it was the best thing in the world. When I was younger I ran away from my real parents. I don't remember much of my old parents, but what I do it is horrible and I'm glad I ran away. One time when I was about two years old I remember my real father hitting my mother and another time I recalled being so hungry that I must have been starved for two or three days. I was found wandering the streets and thrown into the adoption agency, about a week or what felt like a week or two I was adopted by Brayydhen and Delilah. This is the first time since I was adopted that I felt mentally and physically far from them.
I walk through the carts some more and come across an old grand piano. My hand and fingers instantly find the familiar wooden keys. The years of practice makes playing come back naturally to me and I start to play a complex song. I start to get really into the song and loose my mind into the sound of the music.
After what seems like 30 minutes I walk out of the room and attempt to find my bed room so I could sleep a little. With a little help from a young girl avox, she has her blonde long hair tightly braided in one braid that falls over her shoulder. The girl looks to be about 15 years old and I automatically feel guilty because she is trapped being a servant and there is nothing she could even do to fix that. I nod and say thank you, then enter my sleeping chamber.
The room is very state of the art even for a bedroom in a train. I look out the spotless glass window of the room and see all the trees fly by the window and turn into small green blobs in the distance. I sit down on the bed and kick my shoes off my feet and daze off; forgetting everything that will happen in the next weeks to come.
When I wake up, the sun is just about to set. My stomach growls and an empty feeling begins to over take my stomach; I remember that I hadn't eaten anything for dinner, so I walk to the dinning cart. The food is still out on all the nicely, carved tables, so grab a lamb leg and some yellow looking macaroni. The dinning cart attendant says the yellow looking pasta is what they call macaroni and cheese, from what it looks like, I don't think it will be very appetizing but I take some anyway. On my way to the table, Arell, my other district partner knocks her shoulder into mine causing me to drop my plate. The white ceramic plate shatters on the floor, sending many minuscule pieces in every direction on the floor. Arell laughs and keeps walking, not even looking back or helping me pick up the plate.
Of what I have seen of Arell, I don't like her at all. I knell down on the floor and start to pick up the shattered pieces of the plate, but soon the avox girl from before comes and helps me clean it up. She sweeps up all the remnants of the plate, and I feel as if my life shattered into a million pieces as well.
I grab another plate and grab another plate of food. I can't believe Arell, she hasn't even talked to me ever and she didn't even say sorry when she broke my plate. I apologize again to the avox and eat my food in peace.
I hear a faint sound of a television in the distance and go over to the entertainment cart. The door opens without effort and I walk in and see the television on with no one there. I sit down in the chair and I focus on the television and soon realize that they were airing my reaping. I see myself walk up to the stage and shake hands, I was smiling and you would never know that I was freaking out in the inside. I am a good actor and I can portray myself well when it comes to my feelings. The only chance I may actually have in winning the games is to portray myself as strong willed and that I know what I am doing. If I don't… well I might not make it home to my family.
Family. The word means so much to me, what are they doing now? Are they sitting at their couch, watching the same television program as me? The thought of my adopted parents who I realized now were always my real parents, it just took me 14 years to appreciate them as my true parents. I have to come home, I don't care what it takes and I will do whatever it has to take to come home.
also no question this time...i couldn't think of one. sorry.
If you want points...please review
