Hi again! This is the into from Katie Blake's amazing SYOT, The Act of Deception: The 98th Hunger Games. It's going to be amazing so I highly suggest you check it out! ALL CREDIT for the intro chapter and summary goes to Katie Blake! Here we go!
Summary
"Katniss died in The Hunger Games, and her flame never grew more than a spark. The capitol residents have still not learned their lesson, and are continuing to host the cruel Hunger Games. There are 24 more tributes. 24 children. 23 other people who cannot be trusted. 23 people who will die at the hands of another, or the capitol. Who will be victorious?" Is there a specific chapter you'd like to use?
Gamemakers POV
I pick up a picture of my mother and I. It's from when I was younger, I'd say about the time of the second rebellion. It has a faint crack across the frame, splitting my mother and I up. Ironic. I drag my finger across the crack, tracing the spiderweb like tears in the delicate glass. We haven't talked in years. After the first rebellion, my mother was distraught. She actually was one of the few capitol citizens to believe the puny rebels. Ridiculous. I still keep the picture because she is my mother after all, even if we aren't close. I place the frame down and walk over to my red velvet couch. I rub my thumb and pointer finger together out of nervousness. It's a habit I started to get once I became Head Gamemaker.
It's a quite stressful job, because the fate of the capitol's entertainment is in my hands. If the president or the capitol citizens aren't pleased, I suffer the consequences. Which is unfair to me, because I cannot help if the tributes that are reaped don't have interesting personalities. It's happened years back where Gamemakers have been sent to death for doing an inadequate job. I won't let this happen to me. I will do everything in my power to let this years games be the best anyone has ever seen. I will be praised for my work.
I reach towards the pearl white nightstand containing my journal where I plan my twists and turns for the games. I smirk as I think of a wonderful way to get everyone to remember my name. I scribble it down quickly, worried the thought will disappear from my mind. Once it's written, I hold up the notebook and stare at it. Some of the dark ink is starting to smear. I can't help but smile at the thought of becoming a world class celebrity.
No one will forget the name Adelaar Velez.
