Preview of the Games

The career girl sauntered into the small rocky cavern. Inside the cavern was sort of a private shower or bath. It had a pool of fresh water. She stripped off her sweaty torn tribute outfit, except for the lacey bra and panties. In case someone decided to ambush her right now, she decided that she won't be fighting fully naked. She stepped into the water. It wasn't freezing and it wasn't too hot either.

The water felt like silk running all over her body.

As she rubbed the cheap yellow soap onto her skin, she noticed a strange movement in the water.

She instinctively grabbed her curved dagger. It was lightweight and made of pure steal. It had three circular holes in the middle, and had a serrated edge to it. It could easily slice anything, maybe cutting through bone like a wire-saw.

As soon as her fingers brushed against the handle, a pale waterlogged hand popped out of the water, and it held an iron grip on the girl's arm.

The girl thrashed around, trying to get out of the freshwater pool. She lost her grip on the dagger, and the pale mutant finally dragged the career underwater.


Location - The Beach

A female tribute from an outlying district walked down the shores with her district partner. They held hands, enjoying the nice sunset. Surprisingly, the sand was soft and white. You would normally expect that the Capitol would set up flesh-eating parasite in the 'perfect' white sand.

The young couple finally say down on the sand. The girl rested her head on the boy's lap. There was silence for a few moments. They were busy enjoying the view.

"This is perfect, you know? This place could be our own little slice of paradise."

The boy tribute's heart melted. Her smile was the most beautiful thing in the world. He noticed how the girl's hair shone brightly in the sunlight. His fingers ran through her perfectly straight hair without being stopped by tight knots.

Suddenly the girl stripped off her tank top revealing an electric blue bikini.

"Jesus, where did you get that?" the boy laughed.

"In one of the packs. Now let's go for a swim." the girl grinned.

"Not if I get to the water first!" he declared. He immediately ripped off his shirt, exposing a nice athletic body.

He dashed toward the beach, and came to an abrupt stop.

He heard a beeping noise.

"What's the hold up? I'm gonna win, loser!" the girl laughed and let out a whoop like what a guy would normally do.

"No stop!" shouted the boy.

It was too late.

The ground began to explode, showering sand all over the place. He watched as his girlfriend was knocked over by another explosion. He would have tried to save her, but he was afraid that the ground would blow up beneath him too.

"I love you..." she croaked.

And... BOOM!


Location - The Huge Cave

The boy tribute from an outlying district was running. He swore that he had saw some mutant-like creature coming after him. It almost seemed like a regular human being, but it wasn't. It had sharp fangs, torn bloody clothing, and badly blistered skin. It also had an abnormal-sized head.

As he ran with a bag filled with food and weaponry, he tripped on an invisible wire, and he collapsed in a heap. His bag slid across the dark room. The boy knew it was a trip-wire or some kind of string-trap because the mutant just stood there. It seemed to be cackling.

He tried getting up, but he banged up his knee because of his terrible fall.

That's when he heard it. A whistling noise. He saw a dozen throwing knives zipping into his direction. And attached to the throwing knives were thin cables.


Okay guys, I decided to upload a preview of the games to keep you guys interested in this story. Plus I noticed that half of the people here didn't review. It's alright, I'm not angry. And I just didn't have the time to upload a Train Rides chapter. It will be up soon.

Review and tell me what you think.

I just want to make sure everybody is still here.
