A/N: Who has seen the HG movie? Hands up!
What? THAT MANY?
Now I feel sad... I WANNA SEE IT!
Sorry about that. Can you guess that I want to see the movie?
HeartRacingAlways: Thanks for the review! Actually, the arena does have something to do with a clock... I'm glad you liked Valentine!
Sponsors are always needed!
From now on, you can buy anything for the tribute(s) at any time and I shall keep a list of them. If the tribute you're sponsoring dies before you can send in the gift (review or pm me to say when you want it sent in), you can either give the gift to another living tribute of your choice or withdraw the gift altogether.
Each day in the Games each item goes up by ten points.
Down in the tribute list, if there is a * beside them they're a bloodbath. I need more bloodbaths! PM/review me to say you will let your tribute be a bloodbath! (Or I'll just choose myself...(Making them a bloodbath is still worth 15 points!))
District Nine
Eva Corrait
One. Thump. Two. Thump. Three. Thump. Four. Thump.
Eva hoisted the fifth heavy bag of grain up and over. Thump. The job was long and tedious, but it paid for her food. Her family was very different to her, with their long, slender limbs and beautiful complexion. Eva was stumpy and stocky and dumpy. The perfect build for grain lifting.
Six. Thump.
She truly hated her family for their perfect looks. It was childish, but true. It she could have one wish, it would be to be as perfect as her whole god-blessed tribe that called themselves her family. She cared not one whit for her fabulous parents and their gorgeous two sets of twin daughters. Her other sister, Keesha, had died in the Games six years ago after volunteering for Eva. Keesha had been the only one Eva had felt close to.
Seven. Thump.
The bring-a-ling of the Reaping bell jangled. Eva hissed. Her second wish would be to be reaped and delivered from the Hell that was her home. But that would never happen. There was only six slips of paper in the glass bowl. She threw the eighth sack of wheat onto the hovercraft as it zoomed off. She walked to the Square and held her hand out to the sleepy Peacekeeper on duty. Yawning, the woman asked her name then jabbed at Eva's finger. A drop of blood was wiped onto a dry-wipe square beside the name 'Eva Corrait'.
Eva had to wait for a few minutes before the rest of the District entered, some still rubbing the sleep from their eyes. Her 'family' was one of them. She stared straight ahead and did not look at them again.
Soon the Capitol people stepped onto stage. The woman had harsh, dramatic makeup on. "Ladies first." Her hand fluttered over the slips of paper. "Eva Corrait." Eva smiled sadistically and strode up. "My name is Eva. You will never forget me."
She knew they had already cut away from her, but she had said it and that was enough. "Boys next." the woman said. "Petar Harken!"
The boy, who didn't look a day over seventeen, started walking forward. The crowd cleared a path in front of him. He looked calm, but Eva could see he was terrified. She shook hands with him and inclined her head. She felt a overwhelming urge to protect this boy she had never seen before.
They stood, united, against the world.

I want to acknowledge Bobby Drake AND wjjmwmsn5, who both came up with the way I'm doing sponsorship (with a few twists of my own). So I'm not copying off of them, technically, since I am givng the acknowledgment/rights or whatever to them. I don't want to say rights because all they did was make the sponsorship, not the whole story. CHECK THEM OUT! THEY'RE AWESOME!
