Matheus Eldervarne POV
I look out the window thinking of memories of District Four, my best friends and I swimming in the clear blue ocean, my girlfriend and I walking along the peir and my grandfather teaching me all of his tricks from his Hunger Game. I wonder why nobody volunteered this year, it's the Quarter Quell and I thought these wannabe careers loved the idea of being in a Quarter Quell.
"Hey how are you holding up?" My District partner Cat asked, she sat across from me and folded her arms.
"Well I was just reaped not even an hour ago, I have seen most of the careers for this year's game and oh yeah that's right I'm in the Hunger Games! Not any Hunger Games, I'm in a Quarter Quell and I don't even know what the twist is!" I yelled at her, she rolled her eyes
"Well no shit. I'm guessing from your answer that you're holding up quite terribly." She said picking of some nonexistent fluff of her dress,
"You think! Sorry about that I'm pretty pissed off right." I said; push my brown hair out of my eyes,
"That's a shock." She said sarcastically, I death stared her, she just rolled her eyes.
"You know that there is no time to reminisce of all those memories of Four and sulk around of the possibility that you are going to die. Yes, I know we don't know about anything this year's game, and we know that means we are in deep shit because of it but us sulking and moping around is just going to cause to be killed in the bloodbath and none of us wants to die the humiliating death of the bloodbath. But if we get our heads out of our asses at least one of us will not die and make it out alive and that is the best option for us now." She drilled, I could see that isn't messing around and neither should I, if I want out smart or avoid the careers I need to put my head into the game. I smiled but she still was serious,
"Now I know that neither of us will join the careers, but if we will find other tributes and if we don't well then it will just be us two." She smiled; she seems to have it all figured out.
"Dinner is being served in the next cart!" Our escort Aqua cheered, we follow her to a table filled with colourful food and bright fizzy drinks. We eagerly sit down and stuff our faces and then Cat stops.
"What's wrong dear?" Aqua asks, our mentor Fairfax does the same thing. A pale shade of green covers Cat's face, she brushes her wavy blonde hair out of her face and slaps her hand onto her mouth and rushes to her room and Fairfax does the same. Aqua gasps in horror,
"Oh no! Matheus are you alright?" Aqua asks, but I start to feel sick as well, I rush to my room and vomit up what I ate, the toilet was filled with pastel food, and my sight was blurred and everything I touched shaked. I really start to despise the Capitol.
Cat Maycott POV
I was wrapped in a soft blanket along with Matheus and my mentor Fairfax. We were ushered outside of our bedrooms and into the viewing room, our escort Aqua got sick as well but she has is much more badly as us. She still was feeling sick after 40 minutes since we ate the dreaded food. None of us can speak after vomiting everything we ate since yesterday, our voices was raspy and scorched and we have been given small doses of this herbal tea, there trying to take their time because we do vomit it up if they give us too much, I also found out that we are expected to be in the Capitol in the next 30 minutes and all of us can barely speak. It seems to be doing the trick because in about 20 minutes we seem to be talking again.
"Bloody hell, I haven't experienced something that sickening before in my life." Matheus stated breaking the silence,
"It gets worse when you're in the Games think of it as a welcoming gift." Fairfax says rubbing his temple. I look outside of the window and the capitol is seen before my very eyes, I waddle of to the window and look out, the people look ridiculous with large fluffy clothing. I stare out and look at the skyscrapers; it's nothing like I've seen before
"Welcome to the Capitol!" Matheus said in a silly Capitol accent, Fairfax and Matheus made their way over to me and wrapped their arms around me and screamed,
"And may the odds be ever in your favour!"
Hey guys, I hope you enjoyed this chapter, I have also come to the conclusion that I have had enough of Reapings and that maybe I should just write the Chariot rides then we can have the Tributes be introduced to each other and their powers. Also we don't have to focus on the careers, so have fun and hopefully I will update soon see you soon :3.
