Hey guys! Unfortunately I'll be skipping the rest of the reaping chapters. (So we will be on the train now!) This chapter features Lint, Nova, and Mack!
Lint Lanchester, Female, 33, Victor of the 110th Annual Hunger Games
Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. That's all I heard as I sat in the train. This year tributes were all on the same train, probably for Capitol drama. As I looked around I realized that most tributes weren't socializing, well everyone except the careers. For most of us had known that allying won't help our case. I myself was still in shock about my reaping, but was I surprised in the slightest? Not at all.
I knew that the Gamemakers would do a victor's quell. I mean it was quite obvious from the start. I just wished it would've been after I died in my District peacefully, now that plan is fucking done. I sighed as I looked out the window. We were going 500 miles an hour and didn't feel a single thing. That's what the escort told me, but I don't give a FUCK about your fancy stuff. I decided to stop thinking about my possible death, and got up and walked towards the kitchen.
As I walked into the kitchen, the smell of the rich textured foot hit me instantly. That's the only thing I like about the Capitol, they make incredible food. I ordered two cheese raviolis and sat at a table, where a tribute was. It appeared to be the victor from 1, Novelty Winston.. She looked pretty distraught, I mean I don't blame her. Considering she has a son and all, which will suck if she died. I decided to maybe encourage her as if I wanted to do some good things before my possible death. So I looked up at her and smiled.
"Hey Novelty right? I'm Lint." I smiled slightly at her in hopes she would respond.
It took her a few seconds before she responded.
"Y-yeah I'm Novelty. I know who you are….W-why are you speaking to me?" She asked me.
"I just want to encourage you to stay strong. Your family would want that." I tell her.
She didn't respond for about 30 seconds.
"I-I- I gotta go." She says as she leaves the kitchen quickly.
I sighed as I watched her leave. I did feel bad for her, but their was nothing I can do.
Nova Dam, Female, 19, Victor of the 120th Annual Hunger Games
I appeared fine on the outside, but on the inside I was screaming. I can't be back here! I just can't!
"Take deep breaths Nova." I tell myself.
I took 5 slow and deep breaths, which helped me calm down a bit. All I hoped was that I was in a nightmare, but turns out it wasn't. My heart was pounding out of my chest, almost about to burst. I kept telling myself to remain calm, but I just couldn't. Why did the Gamemakers have to do this to us? None of us deserved this!
As I began to tense up I sighed. I need water, badly. I got up from my seat and grabbed a bottle of water, quickly drinking half of it. That's when I heard a victor speak to me. As I turned around it was the victor from 12, Sylvie.
"You must be thirsty?" She chuckled softly.
"Yeah….when I'm stressed water helps me cool down." I nodded.
"Huh, well let me have some." She chuckled again as she picked up a bottle and chugged it.
"I'm Nova by the way." I tell her with a small smile.
"I'm Sylvie. Do you want to sit with each other and talk?" She tilted her head.
I now as I sat down next to her, I hope that I'll survive but my chances are slim.
Mack Zamada, Male, 37, Victor of the 104th Annual Hunger Games
I couldn't think, I couldn't speak. I was emotionless. I didn't expect to be reaped, and now that I am. I know I won't make it. Ever since my addiction my health has been going down, so that will affect me in the arena.
I shook my head trying not to focus on anything except myself. If I WANTED to win, I would have only care for myself. No allies, nobody, just me. I turned towards the door to the bedrooms and decided to rest this day out. I noticed the victor from 5 and 12 socializing, hopefully that will cause the end of them both.
As I made it to my bed, I slumped down on the bed. The bed was so soft, and I fell asleep instantly.
They're we go! I'll probably release the pregame chapters today if I can, maybe even the bloodbath? I don't know yet- Gomex
