The 80th Hunger Games

by FionaTilly

What would happen if Katniss and Peeta never went to the hunger games? Well, this is the story of th 80th hunger games. 16 year old Alex and Aj are reaped and sent to the Hunger Games to fight to the death. Only one can survive, but when they begin to fall for each other Alex and Aj know, only one can win, who will it be?

3. The trainers and Clabus

Though I didn't have many visitors Annabel (or AJ as she prefers) has many, many people who want to wish her the best of luck. After about twenty-five minutes a slightly rattled up AJ walked out of her room, her green eyes are so vibrant under the gloss and redness of tears she is trying hard to hide.

Peacekeepers quickly rushed us into a rather fancy train which has the following:

To much food for one to eat, dark mahagony chairs with velvet throw pillows, two smuggly looking victors (and now trainers, who I know by the names of Edith and Claw,) and Clabus, the announcer, who has a frightening and grim grin on.

" take a seat lovely's" said Clabus

Yes I thought, I would love to sit next to the people who probably don't give a damn about what happens to me in that arena, instead I took a seat next to Aj wordlessly.

" let's save the small talk kids and get to business" said Claw (a rather ugly man with dark olive skin and chestnut hair) " we don't want to be here and neither do you, correct?"

What a stupid question to ask. Yes I would love To be here awaiting my death surrounded by people who I don't know. But of course his question was returical thought.

He proceeds " so, I don't care about what your good at, I don't care if you miss mommy, and I don't care if you win or lose GODDAMNIT!"

It won't be "losing" it will be dying.

hey, hey let's not get angry now" Clabus cleared his throat "Cameras!"

There was a short period of silence that I took to look a Aj. For the first time since the reaping she looked actually scared, I noticed that because her hand are shaking and her knuckles are white from clenching her fists. My few moments of observation (which I do often, I'm very observant) were broken by Claw saying

"Hope you guys understand"

We both nodded.

"Now,off to your rooms, enough chit-chat for one day" said Edith, who finally piped up.

Me and Aj where lex to our rooms by Clabus who then said:

"Come down at 7:30 for dinner, and take showers, you guys are filthy!"

Before I walked into my temporary room I gave Aj a reassuring look. I don't know by though. Nothing to reassure expect we will both probably die by the end of next month.
