So sorry for not updating early like I promised, just started watching Doctor Who and I couldn't stop! Also any ideas for the game Arenas I already have some but I want to see what you people think. Review! I do not own the Hunger Games.
Draconias 'Draco' Warslayer
"Draconias Warslayer, may you please come in" I heard a voice say coming from the intercom. I stand up from where I was sitting next to Nyx.
"Break a leg" Nyx said looking at me with what looked like a forced smile.
"I'm supposed to take that as a compliment?" I asked her confused.
"It means good luck, so break a leg," She repeated again.
"Thanks... I guess?" I said not sure how to respond to her, I quickly turn around thinking I might be late. I start walking towards the game maker's session room but before I left I could swear I heard Nyx say literally. I shrug it off, thinking I made it up in my mind. On the way to the door all of the tributes look at me like in either fear or intimidation. I shoot them a threatening look and most of them quickly stop looking at me. Except Leon, the kid from District 2, I heard from Matilda he wasn't supposed to volunteer this year. That makes two of us. Well, when he looked at me, he looked like he was analyzing me, like the best way to kill me. When I finally made it into the Game makers session room, I went directly in the middle.
"I would like a sparring partner please" I said once I got all of the Game makers, they all looked alert as ever. I look at the weapons on the rack and look for the weapon I've been using the whole time I've been here and finally after some time I see the war scythe. I like this weapon in the most because its name is almost the same as my last name. It's a stupid reason but why not?
"Hello," a person said waiting for me with a sword, my sparing partner "I won't go that easy, just reminding you I've been doing this my whole life"
"Same here and your whole life aren't that long. You look like your 25," I said drawing my War Scythe at ready. "Life is short" I said to him. That kind of was my motto; I would used to say that a lot in District 1, a lot of people would get annoyed.
"Not really, Life is the longest thing you do," he said matter of factually. Right when he said that he went for a swing at me with his sword, when I was least excepting it. I quickly blocked it, and swung my war scythe at his stomach but he blocked it with his sword. I jabbed my war scythe at his heart, I thought he would deflect it in time but no sword ever came. With my war scythe still jabbed inside of his heart, he fell to his knees and died instantly. Blood was still gushing out of him running down the sword to his feet.
"My bad, Thought he was going to deflect that" I said looking at the game makers whose eyes were open in shock.
"You can leave now" One of the game makers did. When I was leaving a bunch of avox's started to come in and started to retrieve the body. He did say he trained his whole life, it wasn't my fault.
Nyx Thornrose, District 1
Draco came back with a lopsided smile. He was raising his hands, pretending to be in surrender. "It wasn't my fault, the guy did say he trained his whole life," he said to me pointing at the game maker's room.
"Wait, what did you do?" I asked curiously.
"That," he said. "Is none of your business?"
"Whatever. Like I freaking care!" I said frustrated crossing my arms, after 10 minutes of nothing I decide to stand up.
"Where are you going?" Draco asked, standing up with me. When he did I noticed something on his shoe, Blood.
"Whose blood is that?" I asked him.
"Oh, that is none of your business. Where are you going" he repeated.
"That is none of your business" I said imitating his voice. I walked off in a random direction and ended up heading to where District 7. The girl Luna, the crazy one was there curling her hair in her finger looking bored. When she looked up her face brightened up and had a smile from ear to ear.
"Hi!" Luna said practically shouting standing up from her seat.
"Shut up already!" I heard her District partner say to her looking frustrated.
"Umm... Goodbye" I said quickly walking away from Luna. I ended up to the District 8 people this time. Both of them looked scrawny and looked like they barley had anything to eat. "Do you know why the Game makers haven't called anybody yet?" I asked.
"Yes, I do," The girl tribute said. I waited for her to tell me why but she stayed quiet.
"Can you tell me?" I asked. They both stayed quiet. The boy put two fingers on is mouth and pretend to zip it, the girl did the same thing soon.
"Never mind, you guys really helped a lot!" I said sarcastically.
"Nyx Thornrose, You now may come." The Intercom said loudly.
"About time, it felt like a year!" I exaggerated, I start walking towards the room. When I made it there was a black bag in the corner. I ignored it and looked at the Game makers. "I'm Nyx Thornrose, and I can assure you that you will not be disappointed in anyway,"
Leon Misthivel, District 2
"Why do you think it took them so long?" Matilda asked me, with her fake innocent voice.
"I don't know, I don't care," I replied.
"Aren't you even curious?" she asked starting to lean on me. I started to lean to, just away from her.
"No not really, and does it really matter, not like it's going to affect me" I said.
"Stop being such a bore! You don't do anything fun, come on lets dance!" She said getting up from her seat.
"No thanks, I don't want people thinking people I'm an idiot" I said crossing my arms. I saw Matilda's eye twitch for a second.
"Are you insulting me?" She asked with an obvious fake smile.
"I didn't mean it like that" I lied to her.
"Oh that is really good, because that wouldn't be to good, would it?" She said playfully punching my arm, hard. I flinched a little of course, sadly. "Oh did I hit you to hard my bad" She said putting her hand on top of her mouth to stop herself from laughing. "So what do you think of Keto? She seems a little weak, and plus I don't really like her" She said in a faint whisper.
"Why, because she knows you're a faker?" I said to her. Her eyes opened in shock and her mouth was left open gaping at me.
"Wh..Wha... What are you talking about? Why do you think I'm a faker? What do you mean by fake?!" She said in complete shock.
"I know, wait the careers know that you're just putting up am act, it has been like this since the first day" I said looking at her utterly shocked face.
"I don't know-"
"Leon Misthivel, you come now" The intercom interrupted Matilda. I got up leaving Matilda to sit there gaping at me. When I made it to the game maker's room I saw Nyx leaving I waved to her a little she just smiled back. Once I walked in the game makers quickly stop talking and stare at me. I really didn't plan what to do so I head for the rack of weapons and choose out the only weapon I'm good at, knifes.
"Can I get a sparring partner?" I asked. All of their faces looked at each other in concern. One person spoke out for all of the others looking nervous as well.
"There is no sparring partner this year, but feel free to use the dummies" He said pointing to a corner where they were put away.
"I guess this will have to do..." I whispered to myself. I start by slashing at the dummies and no more than 10 seconds the dummy's head is on the floor. This process happens the whole time for five minutes until the Game makers get bored and tell me to leave. I know I didn't do anything spectacular but at least I did better than most people. I thought when I was leaving
Matilda Goldline, District 2
I quickly recovered from my shock when Leon left; I couldn't let everybody else think I was some idiot. Right when he left I started to think of ways to make the Careers think I'm innocent. I quickly get up and head towards District 4; I knew Keto was behind this. That stupid little bitch, I swear I should have never pulled that knife stunt I did to her in the training room. When I make it over there I see Keto talking to her District partner Canyon, Her back is to me.
"Hi Matilda, how's it been?" Canyon asked me when he looked up from where he was sitting. I saw Keto look back quickly her eyes wide with fear and looked at me.
"Can I have a word with Keto? It's really fast, it won't take long," I asked Canyon.
"No, you cannot have a word with me" Keto said looking at me in the eyes trying to intimidate me.
"Why not, you scared or you think you're going to get caught being a little snitch" I said quietly so only Keto can hear me.
"I'm not the only one about to get caught" She said sounding more confident.
"I know you told Leon what happened at training" I told her.
"I didn't tell him, I didn't tell anyone. Did he tell you know you're a fake? Because it kind of is obvious that you are" She said smirking at me.
"I'm still here!" Canyon said looking at us.
"That's great!" Keto said sarcastically. I couldn't help a smile come out when she said that. Keto looked at me oddly like she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
"Matilda Goldline, Please come now" The intercom said. I quickly turn around and head for the door ignoring everybody looking at me. I pass by Leon going into the entrance of the door. He looks at me with a smirk on his face I ignore him and walk in. I don't even say anything to the Game makers I just grab a bow and arrow, but then I remember I have to do bad, to prove I'm innocent. So I don't get killed in the games, death... it's a horrible thing.
"Hi, I am Matilda Goldline. I will be using the bow and arrow, wish me luck!" I said sweetly. I walk over to the targets and don't even look just shooting. None of the arrows hit the arrows hit the targets just two or three. I Know I'll get the worse score there is, but who cares Careers always get sponsors no matter what.
"You may leave now" The gamer maker said with a deep voice. I left with a frown on my face; I knew I had to prove I'm innocent... And I had to do that fast.
Canyon Stagnum, District 4
I guess you could say it's been lonely. So far there is no one to talk to, well there is but I mean with somebody that I can talk to with ease. I couldn't help but think about my mother while I'm here. The last words she told me before I left her kept haunting me. While I have been here, the Capitol people kept asking me about my brothers, the one who died in the games. It's kind of infatuating.
"Did you see here laugh at my joke. That is so weird!" Keto exclaimed.
"Yeah that was weird," I said, not really paying attention.
"So, what are you going to do in the private training?" Keto asked me curiously.
"I'll wing it, I might throw knifes or axes. Probably both, you never know," I said getting bored of the conversation and start to zone out. I start to think of my mother, my brothers, the games, death. Death, that curse haunted me sense the day I was born. First was my oldest brother, whose head was cut off clean by the District 8 girl tribute. Then my 2nd oldest brother who also volunteered in the games, he died late in the games. It was him, the District 7 boy and District 3 girl. All of the Careers were killed when my brother slit their throats when they were sleeping.
He had an 80% chance of winning. But a giant bird mutt attacked him, and took out his eyes and ripped off his arms. He bled out and died, the District 7 boy soon got poisoned soon and also died, and the District 3 girl won.
"Hello, my eyes are up here!" I heard Keto say waving her hand in front of my face, she looked mad. I soon noticed why, when I zoned out I was staring directly at her boobs.
"Sorry, I blacked out!" I said flustered. Keto was blushing, a bright ruby color.
"Canyon Stagnum, You now may come," I heard the game maker's voice on the intercom. I quickly got up.
"Got to go, sorry" I said walking away quickly.
"Good luck!" I heard Keto say from a distance. When passing by the door I saw the District 3 girl walking out. She was crying like she did something bad. Possibly she was crying because she did horrible or something. I have to admit she doesn't look that tough or smart, just scrawny little kid.
"Hello?" I asked the girl, she did seem lonely.
"EEP!" She yelped surprised, like she hasn't socialized with people the whole time she was here.
"Okay… What's your name?" I asked trying to make a conversation.
"Good and you?" She said lost.
"What… Whatever," I sighed.
"Nice talking to you" She said looking around hurriedly. She did a little awkward jog and left.
"That was weird," I murmured to myself. I start walking towards the door, once I enter I see the entire game maker's staring at me except for some few who were drinking and talking to each other.
"Hello, I'm Canyon Stagnum. I'm sure you already know that though," I said introducing myself. I stand there not sure what to do. I look at all the weapons laid in front of me, theirs axes, knifes, bow and arrow, swords, and much more.
I must have taken some time because the game maker kept coughing loudly on purpose. "You may begin now," I reach for the throwing knifes and head for the targets, when I make it there I start shooting at it making bulls eye the whole time. I only missed once where it hit the side of the targets stomach. Others hit the heart and the brain mostly. Once I think I've done enough I stop and stare at the game makers.
"You may go now," with those words I left the room, being proud as ever.
Keto Lancet, District 4
"But did you see her face when I said it, I never thought she would laugh at that," I said talking to Canyon. "And then— are you staring at my boob!" I shouted at Canyon who is staring lazily into space. "Hello, my eyes are up here! I said waving my hands in front of his face.
"Sorry, I blacked out!" He said flustered. I soon touch my face and see myself burning up.
"Canyon Stagnum, you may come now" I heard the intercom say.
"Sorry got to go," He said quickly and leaving.
"Good luck!" I shouted to him. I see him talk to the District 3 girl for a while before she does a little awkward jog and 'runs' away. I get up and head to her direction. When she sees me heading her direction her eyes open fearfully, she starts to look in all directions like she is looking for an escape. I raise my hands in mock surrender.
"I'm not going to hurt you or something doesn't worry" I said approaching her cautiously.
"You're funny, nice talking to you. Goodbye," She said and sprinted off to who knows where. I look to my left and see her District partner looking at me with an awed and fearful face.
"Can I help you?" I snap at him. At once he stops, I walk away spinning on my heel. I must look like a bitch right now, I start thinking to myself.
"Keto Lancet, you may come now" the game makers voice said on the intercom. When I start walking towards the door I start to think of all the people who are most likely to kill me. There's Nyx, Matilda that's it. I'm not really that close to a friend to Canyon, Leon and Draco but they wouldn't want to kill me. Well that's what I think.
"Hi, my name is Keto Lancet and I will be performing with an bow and arrow" I said to the game makers. I start heading for the bow and arrows but then come up with a new idea before I do. I head for the building station and get a bendable stick and some thin rope. I tie the rope on either end of the stick and make it tight enough so the stick bends making a makeshift bow. I go to the rack of weapons again and get a short knife.
Once I did I go back to the building station and get another stick but shorter this time and making a sharp edge. Once I made a couple I go to the targets and ready my makeshift bow and arrow. I say a little prayer before I let it go and it shoot it perfectly, directly on the brain. Well it was little to the left but it was better than nothing. I keep shooting and making perfect shots most of time. After I ran out of arrows I look at the game makers. Some clap others just observe me and others just talk to each other.
"You may go," The head game maker said. Well I think I did pretty good… I think.
Skylar 'Skye' Andronicus, District 6
I'm totally confused, I have no idea where I am and I have no idea what anything looks like, and my stupid of a partner won't help me with anything. He says I have to learn how to be "Independent " but how am I supposed to do that if I don't even though to what direction I have to walk to! It makes no sense whatsoever.
"Cecilia Prow" The intercom said loudly.
"Who's that?" I asked my District partner, Wave.
"Some girl from District 5, don't worry about it" He responded grumpy.
"What are we waiting for? Why did they call her? Are they going to call us too?" I asked babbling.
"Can you wait and see! I swear you to talk more than… than… I don't know but you talk more than something!" He shouted frustrated.
"No need to get your panties in a twist! It was just a couple of questions," I said offended.
"Wave Kine, You may come now" The intercom said.
"Finally, Now I could get away from you now!" Wave said excitedly, I hear him standing up and heading off to somewhere. I also get up after 3 minutes of waiting; I start to feel my way through the place looking for someone for some advice, or what to do, or at least where the heck we are! I finally get somewhere where there is people talking it gets quiet instantly when I get there.
"Hello Skye" I heard Avalon say.
"What are we waiting for?" I asked her.
"Hi to you too," I heard Avalon say sarcastically "We are waiting to do the private training,"
"What's private training?" I asked again.
"It's when the game makers look at us train and give us a score the higher the better the lower the worst, If you get a low score you are most likely to die though" she replied.
"So, do you have an alliance yet?" I questioned her.
"Not really, I might join up with Eran, but I don't know for sure" She sighed.
"Aren't you going to kill each other though?" I asked crossing my arms.
"What! No, I wouldn't do that!" She said, I could tell her eyes opened up in shock.
"Don't you want to win, I know I do," I said bluntly.
"I do want to live! I want to see my sister, my mother and my father, but it's not that simple! She said.
"Skylar Andronicus" The game maker's voice said.
"It's Skye!" I shouted to the intercom loudly so they can hear me, probably not. "Well got to go, bye!"
"Yeah… bye" Avalon said with a little hurt in her voice. I start walking away from Avalon and after a while of walking around I noticed something, I have no idea where I am and where I'm supposed to go, just great.
Again so sorry for not updating early like I promise but this chapter is more than 3,700+ so I hope that makes up for it, REVIEW! or the evil spider pig will eat you.
