THE FALLEN KIDS
I do not own the hunger games. But I did give them names, since the creator decided not give them any. In this story the participants who are just kids must help each other to survive in hopes that they do not freeze to death or die in some other gruesome way.
The kids sitting in the two rows of six seats facing each other connected their thoughts. They are trying to remember what their mentors said to them before they parted and went to the hovercraft. The careers knew what they were going to do once the game started. It made the non-careers nervous and scared, "because how where they going to win when the careers were going to all team up and kill them at first site?" Someone like Thresh and Katniss was not going to let them show their fear towards them. There are two hovercrafts, each one holds 12 tributes to carry them to the game dome. The hovercrafts have been flying quit a bit now making some of the kids more nervous. Some tried to see if they can sleep for a little bit for one last time. Katniss was sitting between Clove and the boy from district four. The boy had his head down like he was ready to die, like he had already given up. If Katniss remembered, the district four boy was twelve years old. Across from Katniss there was Rue from eleven, the red head girl from five and her partner from five. Rue and red head seemed to be calm for their part but the boy from five was making it obvious that he was trying not to cry. He had his hands together trying to comfort himself but one could tell that it was not working. Clove was now looking at him and she smirked knowing what she was about to do.
"Hey tan boy" she stated with a soft smoothing voice trying to comfort him. "I tell you what, we will save you for last during the bloodbath and you will be remembered as the boy who got tortured for a whole day begging us to stop."
That did it. The boy started to cry out loud making the others look at him. Cato was sitting next to him smirking of Clove's work while the others tried not to stare at five. District three boy felt bad for five, but there was nothing he could do. District six male looked at district five whose name was Layton from what he remembered and saw the fear he was showing.
"Layton," male six said to get his attention, "don't worry about her, I doubt she will be able to take down anybody in here."
Cato looked away from five to District six who name was Jordan. He remembers him because he was the one that took his knife during one of the training days. "I don't think you're the one to talk considering you only got a five in your score."
"Like that will stop me from killing you career," Jordan said back.
Cato laughed, "you think you have a chance of killing me?"
Jordan knew his chances was very low due the fact that Cato has allies and he does not. But he will do whatever it takes to go back home. "As a matter of fact, I do think I have a chance, not just killing you but winning the games."
This time Cato stared at Jordan with a threat, "once were in there, I'm making sure you die slow."
Jordan thought for his final words "try me." After that he looked away.
After that shouting match Cato and Jordan had, Layton seemed to have calmed down. It was kind of weird because there is one piece keeper guard standing at the back in between the rows watching. The guards always looked lifeless because they do not show any kind of reaction towards anything. For a while it has been quiet, no one else talked and Layton seemed to stop sobbing. It felt like to them they have been flying for about twenty minutes or so? but soon after someone open the door that leads to the main hovercraft with a lab coat on and had needles with her. She went up to Rue and started to take out one of the needles.
"Give me your arm."
Rue was nervous doing so but she extends her arm out to the lady. The lady grabs Rue's arm and was about to inject the needle until unexpectedly the hovercraft lights went out. Everybody looked up and was confused even the piece keeper guard was surprised. Not long after the hovercraft started going out of control making the two adults hit the walls, the mysterious lab coat lady fell unconscious. The guard gripped on one of the chairs and ordered the tributes to put their emergency belts on. As the kids were trying to do what they were told the guard made his way to the door to see what the situation and closed behind him. An emergency red light was now flashing slowly making the kids feel un easy. The hovercraft was in bad shape because they noticed the temperature was getting colder. They can hear the loud wind passing by the ship witch sound extremely scary.
Katniss made sure that her belt was secure and looked at the others. Some struggled to get securely fastened. She notices that Layton was panicking and failing to get the belt on right. The hovercraft was now starting to shake violently making her head feel dizzy. As she was trying to breath, she notices that she can slightly see her breath due to the temperature dropping. That was making her wonder why? She knew they were going fast, but they weren't that high, were they?
They can hear the loud ship shifting which sounded fast. They could not keep steady. Layton was bouncing left and right from his seat causing him to grunt in pain. He was trying very hard to get his belt on but his shacky hands was not doing it. Layton was the only one to not have it on.
Jordan can see him still trying to get his belt on and felt the hovercraft jumped making Layton almost fly out of his seat. Jordan without thinking un did his belt and straps and stumbled over to Layton seat. While getting to him he heard someone yell faintly "are you crazy" as he made it to Layton. He grabbed his belt and straps and put it together and tested to see it was secure. Jordan being proud of himself he shouted to Layton "YOUR ALL SE-!"
The ship made a very violent jump making Jordan hit the celling breaking his head. Jordan body was now sliding around the floor making the others look on in disbelief. Layton was traumatized crying out loud.
District three male looked horrified as he watched Jordan roll over to the back of the room. Jordan was twitching in place, so he was still alive? He turned to his left to see the empty spot where Jordan was just moments ago. Still looking he heard a beep noise and there was someone's voice coming out of the speakers.
"Brace for impact."
Katniss closed her eyes and heled the bars tightly. She was not going to die, she promised her sister that. She was going to keep that promise. She wished she still had her mocking jay that Prim gave her before she left. She wonders for a moment if the other hovercraft was going through the same thing? The last thing she remembered is her chair being disconnected and went straight at the closed door.
