Okay, so this chapter will be a bit rambling but that's because the tribute is from a made up district! So here we go. WARNING: WEIRD AND CORNINESS AT THE END. ALSO KISSING.
Kadence's PoV:
I look around apprehensively. I joined the Careers, lied my way in, tricked them and best of all, told their leader I loved him. Jacky Ace, an Internet star from District 1. He is handsome, I guess. And a bumbling idiot. I smile sweetly and whisper soft charming lies to him. Why? To help myself. The Careers have food, weapons, good provisions. And I have nothing. I spun them a tale, a backstory. The first part is quite true. My grandparents had fled to the sea in the days of the rebellion, fearing they would be killed. And they went to a place which in the old days they called Miami. I was born in a washed up ship and this was where I lived. District 14. A place of peace and happiness. We fished and rode dolphins and laughed. And I was special among my family. I could talk to sea creatures and my relations called me a God. So when the Capitol came to notice us, the district gave me as the tribute. This was where I lied. I said I had fallen in love with Jacky and he promised to let me in the Careers. I played the role of a lovestruck girl, not useful except for keeping Jacky happy. He got into rages, you see, and I was the only one that could calm him down. That was why the other Careers kept me around. I didn't bother to learn their names. And that leads us to now. I stroked Jacky's muscular arm as he gave an 'inspiring' speech. He tried. Then we ate. But after dinner, the fun began. We raided. We found two girls, one dark and one golden haired, so we stole half their food (I convinced the others that if we left some, they would accuse the other of theft and get in a fight and that would be better entertainment for the Capitol.). That was that night's fun. Now for the next piece of fun, the fights over who slept where. And it was my turn to decide tonight. I put one boy and girl together in one tent. With 6 Careers and 3 tents, this caused a ruckus. Most of it boys screaming girls had cooties or some disease and girls batting their eyelashes and homing in on the boys. I smiled wickedly. Fun. I got the biggest tent, and Jacky too. We said goodnight stiffly and got in our campsite. I smile wider. There is only one bed and it us a cold night. Either death of freezing or sleeping together. This was going to be fun tomorrow morning. I climbed in and shortly after I heard shouting. Then, Jacky got in the tent and smirked before climbing in the sleeping bag. I whispered something meaningless and flirty and kissed him. Right on the nose. He pulls my mouth to his and I am lost, drifting in a kiss of lies and bliss.
