Review reply to Sephiesport: I'm actually not sure if you're reading this chapter yet but if you are, thanks a lot for the review! That one is one of my faves too. Thanks for the encouragement :D
A/n: Following the structure of Sponsors, there will be twenty-four oneshots in total, in boy-girl order. I have included a description of the sponsor for those who have forgotten or haven't read Sponsors. Credit goes to healer96 and September Sorrows for the idea. Updates will be one a day (possibly twice if i run out of time) Thank you for the kind reviews and by all means, feel free to criticise. Enjoy!
14) Runa Cress – District Seven (Girl)
Sponsor – a woman who already has it all.
My tribute this year doesn't look promising. She seems confident, it's true, but it's all bravado. Yet I'm still looking forward to seeing her perform. I can already imagine the things she might do. The scrapes we – she – will get into. The moments of terror and triumph. The things that will be remembered in years to come.
The Games begin and Runa dives straight in. Looks like I got a live one this year.
I gasp as she avoids death narrowly and cheer when she fights someone else for the use of a bag. Other tributes die but I don't care about them. I'm with Runa now. Screams, blood, chills, it's all part of the fun. These Games are looking exciting already.
Runa's one of nine people left and is battling Glimmer. That girl looks like every boy's dream but she fights like a demon. I love the contrast they present – the short and stocky Runa versus the tall and beautiful Glimmer. The eager and determined against the ruthless and powerful. You just can't write stuff like this.
Glimmer leaps at Runa's throat and kills her. A pang of disappointment goes through me – she lost! But then I settle back to watch. After all, picking a winner is luck of the draw and I suppose that this year, the odds were just not in my favour.
I wonder who I'll get next year.
