Mentors

by gethsemane342

The mentors of the 74th Games were asked, before the tributes went into the arena, what they thought of their tributes . These are their first thoughts. 24 oneshots for 24 tributes, side-piece to Sponsors and Game over.

11. Rodery Stem: District Six, Boy

Disclaimer: I do not own The Hunger Games

Geth342: Anyhow, there will be one update a day, hopefully. Each mentor has been asked, in some form, the same question and these are the first things they thought. Credit goes to Be Nice To Nerds for the idea. Please, feel free to criticise or give me advice about law, and please, enjoy!

This mentor is not from CF :)

11) Rodery Stem – District Six (Boy)

Question: The Games begin in just a few hours. What do you think of the tribute(s) you mentored this year?

Do you want to hear a story? It's not necessarily a happy one and it's not complete. Ah, but you are curious now. So I shall tell.

The story begins with two boys who were inseparable as children. Where one went, the other followed. One boy's parent was the other boy's parent in all but name. They were basically brothers.

When they turned eighteen, one boy was called into the Hunger Games. The following weeks proved to everyone just how monstrous that boy could be and he emerged victorious, with the blood of four people staining his hands.

The life of a monster was hell and he fell into a depression. The other boy saved him. He visited every day, talked to him and treated him like a human being. When the second boy had a son, the monster became his honorary uncle. An uncle who swore to always protect the little one.

When the son reached fifteen, he, too, was called into the Hunger Games. The uncle watched in despair as the face of his brother fell and the heart of his brother's wife broke.

The son reminded him of the brother and he decided to do all he could to save the boy, by taking on the role of mentor instead of leaving it to the last winner. The son is his father in miniature. A boy who would do anything to save a friend. A boy who will never give up. A boy who has inspired the monster to do the same.

And that's where the story is at the moment. But all characters have a role in the final outcome and this monster will do everything he can to save that son. Because, come hell or high water, this is one story which will have a happy ending.
