Chapter 1: The Boy from 4
POV The Boy from 4
Entering the tube that would take him into the Arena was thrilling. He had been training for this since he was 5 and he was ready to make his father proud. Every second that ticked by lead him closer and closer to his goal.
Most would think he was just your typical career. He was tall, strong and looked the part. In reality he was there to bring down the current system and aid those who knew what the real games where in returning things to as they should be.
As he exited into the hot and dry landscape, he was thankful the sponsors would give generously. He could see no water source and the only cover around the Cornucopia was the structure itself. The dry landscape would ensure the Gamemakers would likely throw in a sandstorm or two and during the night temperatures would surely plummet.
He looked for his allies, for the first time years there was a single united career pack, and noted the Capitol boy on one side. He had been told his allies would all be lined up so they could unite quickly and begin the slaughter. From what he could tell this was true, but he could only see the first three of his allies on that side.
He glanced to the other side and noted with horror that the girl from 5 was right beside him. Any second now her podium would explode, removing one of the stains his employers demanded be taken out.
There was a margin of error of course. However should the boy from 13 be blown up instead then he would simply head straight for her and use the tiny blades hidden in his gloves to dispatch of her quickly.
When the podium exploded he barely noted that there was in fact and error.
Seconds later the Gong rang out. The 171st Hunger Games had begun.
24th/24 - The Boy from 4
This is just a little side story/prequel to What Lies Beneath. It is not a must read, but it does reveal the fate of all the tributes from the first death to the last/survivors. As most do not have names they will be identified as 'The Boy/Girl from Blank'. This does not mean they are all strictly male or female, however I already have an entire universe to name and any of true importance will have and AKA on the end of their names.
Not all tributes POVs will be at their point of death. Some will be killed with others so their POVs will be close together and probably intersect. Or it might be at their point of death but describe the past or something. They will most likely be short, though some like the Girl from 2 and the Girl from 10 AKA Miss Vesto may get longer because they have slightly more interesting stories than just dying in the bloodbath.
Next Chapter: The Girl from 13. (she lived a fraction of a second longer)
