I don't own The Hunger Games... or most of these tributes.
Rosabel Atkinson (Three Female)
I look in my District partner in disgust. He is crying. Sadly I know I have to comfort him if I want to keep my 'facade' up.
"Don't worry, it'll be ok!" I smile at him. If I have anything to do with it he won't be.
"Do you want to be allies?" He asks and I resist the urge to roll my eyes. Bit forthright isn't he!
"Yes! Thank you so much!" I say, almost cringing from the peppiness coming out from my voice. He just smiles at me.
Luckily it is soon time for tea and I begin my first interaction with our mentor. Her name is Chai-Ga and I honestly have no idea how she won! Last I checked idiots should be the first to go.
"So! What will your strategies be?" She asks.
Did she literally just say that? Guess who has no sense of subtlety.
On another note it seems that Blake has decided to trust me wholeheartedly. "I think I'm going to get as many people in our alliance as possible." He smiles at me "If that's okay with Rosa of course."
I want to yell at him that that's a stupid idea. That what if I don't want to ally with the weaklings he'll surely want to make 'friends' with. Instead I just smile "Of course that would be fine! I'll do whatever you want."
I feel like I'm drowning in syrup.
I pile a few items of food on my plate and dig my fork into it. I put it into my mouth and I was nearly sick. This food shouldn't be fed to pigs! Hershal or whatever his name is is digging in happily.
Figures.
Isolde Prescott (Four Female)
I run my fingers through my hair, already missing Carter. Some selfish part of me wishes he was here just for comfort.
My district partner seems to be eating happily, without a care in the world and I instantly feel jealous of him.
Doesnt he realise that :
A: We'll be getting an operation to remove one of our limbs in less than two days!
B: At least one of us is gonna like... DIE!
But no! That's no biggy right!
Our mentor smiled at us "Would you like to be trained together or separately?" Before Ian- I think his name was could say anything I yelled separate. I got weird looks but we were already gonna be in the same Alliance and I didn't want him knowing ALL my secrets.
Or any really.
I looked at the large array of food but in the end just grabbed a piece of bread that reminded me of home and a glass of blue juice.
I took a tentative sip and almost spat it out! That stuff was 99% chemicals!
G to the Ross!
I looked at Ian and saw he was laughing. At first I was pissed but then I started laughing with him. I didn't know if it was just the fear but soon we were absolutely hysterical. I tried to stop laughing but I couldn't and every time I was near to stopping I just looked at Ian and continued.
Finally I stopped and smiled at Ian. Maybe I would have a friend in the games after all.
Hershal Kundert (Eight Male)
For the few hours we have been on the train all Maya has done is apologise. I feel sorry for her, knowing that she'll be dead soon. She's too innocent for these games.
Fuck the Capitol.
Of course I don't voice this out loud. I don't want to freak poor Maya out. She hasn't even taken her bunny ears off although she has changed in to a pink top and jeans. She's taken her hair out so it's all over her shoulders in curls.
It's weird to think that she's only a year younger than me. She looks about 8.
Over tea our mentor, Coit asks us if we want to be together or separate. Maya smiles and suggests separate which I'm perfectly happy with.
I was only wondering one thing: did Coit's parents know that Coit means buttocks?
Because seriously, that would open up a whole new can of worms.
Carolyn Scotts (Eleven Female)
I was a bit worried about Jacob. He kept muttering all about 'squirrels and mice' and it was getting a bit weird.
I walked over to our mentor and muttered that I didn't think he was quite all there. She just looked at me sadly, "I'm his aunt, kid. I know!"
I can't say I was that happy at this revelation but I knew her to be a fair mentor according to the one victor in 11 since she won 20 years ago. They took alternate years mentoring.
I went over to Jacob and talked to him slowly, as if he was a five year old. Liza was always better with kids than me.
Soon it was time for tea. 11 was the second furthest away from the Capitol so we had an extra day before losing a limb.
What was worse: The losing or the anticipation?
District Twelve Mentor
I was hoping for some luck with the tributes, especially since one of them volunteered but both of them seemed completely disinterested. The boy was only concerned with eating, it made sense as he was a Seam kid but the girl was a completely different matter.
She just sat on a seat and stared. I tried to engage her in conversation but she refused to respond!
I decided to watch the video of the Reapings and groaned when I saw the sheer strength of some of the careers. The girl from one looked deadly and the girl from two had victors running in the family!
Even the girl from 8 was going to survive longer than my tributes!
Just my luck for getting the dud tributes.
Hey! I'm obviously not updating everyday because that would be tiring as fuck but I'm doing a chapter whenever I can. The next chapter will be mostly in Capitolite's POV and it'll be the actual operations but tell me who you want to react to their missing limb! After that it'll be chariots. If you have anyone you want to see more of just tell me.
I do have one extra small favour. If any of you have any time/ideas can you please create some nicknames for the tributes such as someone like Maya could be Little-miss-not-so-innocent
