Interlude 4
Roman Pisces (21) (Winner of the 145th hunger games) (District 4 Mentor)
I'm being chased by the Achilles and Gleam. Before, I can look back and see what weapons they have I'm tackled to the ground and held down by Gleam.
"Have fun with Melena and Logan career traitor." I hear Achilles say before laughing and starting to cut my head off with his sword.
I jump out of that nightmare all sweaty and alert. It's been 5 years since I have won my games and the nightmares plus how the capitol parades my victory like it was better than any other in the last 10 years is dreadful. Thankfully, that has stopped with the victory of Venus Platinum last year since the whole brother and sister victors has the Capitol reminiscing of Gloss and Cashmere.
The reason my games were so remembered was that the games ended up being over at day 3. The career tributes were brutal that year and so many tributes died in the bloodbath leaving only a handful of us left. The arena was also terrifying and deadly that half of us that were left ended up dead. The way the Capitol shoved my victor in mine and other victors' faces was disheartening and made my hatred for the Capitol rise faster than anything else.
I pick up a letter from a fellow victor that a secret rebellion has been going on for a few years with the help of an opera singing of all people. However, the mean reason behind the letter was that they were asked to join the rebellion and wanted me to join with them. If it wasn't for the fact that other innocent teenagers could die if I rebel, I would definitely rebel against the Capitol.
I quickly form my reply that I'm going to say to them later when I'm in the Capitol since I know they are going to be there and set out for the justice building for the reaping. May the odds be ever in the favour for those tributes who want to make Panem better and not those who want to destroy it.
When I'm faced with the justice building, I'm filled with fear that happens every year and run for the train instead. I can't look at the tribute I will be mentoring. Will I be able to bring them back home without them being damaged like me? Will I be able to face the reaping's again one day instead of running away like a coward? Will I be able t-
As I'm running, I bump into someone and we both fall onto the ground.
"Hey, watch where your goi-" As soon as I hear this person shouting, I immediately go into a ball to avoid being hit by this person "Roman? Is that you?" I look up and wonder who this person is cause not so many people in our district will be nice to anyone who bumps into them. I instantly recognise the face, it's Cordelia the winner of the 141st hunger games and my mentor since she saw something in me and I guess she did cause I'm here and Melena isn't.
I calm down a little bit but not much since I'm still worried about the games and the quarter quell. However, Cordelia pulls me into a hug and whispers this into my ear.
"Hey, it's going to be alright it's going to get better. Remember I was just like you and look at me I was able to bring you home, wasn't I?" Cordelia's words calm me down cause she was able to bring me home and I will try to bring a mentally stronger tribute home to replace me.
We both stand up and walk towards the trains but before we get there, I feel Cordelia stop.
"What's wro-" I see her look at a wall and tense up as soon as I read it.
"Beware NightFire will strike." I grab her hand and run towards the entrance and get on the train along with the tributes so we can get to the capitol.
A/N: This chapter is a mess I won't even lie to you guys, however I had to introduce some kind of rebel force somehow and though a victor from a career district who wasn't a career was one of my best options.
I still need 3 tributes (the same 3 as always, the boys from 5 and 13 and the girl from 10)
Please review and submit a tribute it will help me a lot and get the story going more and get to the games faster.
