Hey Guys! Thankyou for reviewing everyone! If anyone has any questions about the tributes or other characters, please ask. My minions and I are always there to help. Thankyou for reading this! I really appreciate it! *whisper* did you notice how the writing styles are different?
Ok, here is your chapter.
MARK DAVYDOV
The last thing I wanted is to have the audience like me. Those Capitol people, don't they understand how horrible the Hunger Games are? Yet I still went there and entertained them. Yet I still went there and entertained them. Sure, making roses that the audience threw to you twirl around is cool, but that doesn't mean the person has to be sent to the games, does it?
"District 10, Kayla Zerbe," Ceaser Flickerman Jr. announced.
Kayla starts walking, and with every step it looked like she was getting taller. She can't get taller, it isn't possible. But as she sits down, she is taller than Caesar. That can't be right, can it? Caesar and Kayla start talking, and I find out that Kayla and her father work on a farm. She has 2 younger brothers and a little sister, and Kayla starts telling stories about her past. By the end, I think how sad a person's life can be just because they have been chosen to be in the Hunger Games.
"So Kayla, how come you are twice as tall as me now?" I sit forward and rub my eyes. There is no way that Kayla could have grown taller in the duration of 2 minutes. And then it hits me. She can grow bigger. I mentally slap myself. Ow… In her last minute, Kayla says that she trained for Artemis for 2 years. She says that she isn't really a demigod, she is Artemis' patron. I mentally search for information about Artemis. She is the goddess of hunting, and her known weapon is a bow. Not bad… Kayla might actually survive this.
"Cedirc Brannon."
Cedric comes to the stage with 2 parrots sitting on his shoulders. Cedric tells Caesar that he can summon animals that are loyal to him. He is the son of Hermes, the god of messengers and travelers, and says that he is pretty good with a staff. I wonder how many animals he can summon at a time. I made a mental note to research it before the games start. Cedric ends with giving one of the parrots to Caesar.
"District 11, Gabrielle Griffin."
There was a stunned silence as Gabrielle, who I have decided to call Gabby, walks to Julius, tulips sprouting wherever she steps. Gabby sits down, grass growing around where her feet are. The audience starts cheering and throwing flowers, and all flowers that hit the floor around Gabby start growing. If there was a most impressive entrance award, Gabby would have crushed everyone. Sadly, the Hunger Games have nothing to do with flowers. Gabby, a daughter of Demeter, the grain goddess, says that everything around us has life, and that taking away life is unfair and cruel. Julius agrees, but he makes a point that our ancestors chose to rebel themselves. Gabby quickly and quietly answers that it is definitely not our fault that the rebellion has happened. This grows into a heated discussion, half-jokingly, half seriously, between Caesar and Gabby. Soon after, there is a signal that Gabby's time is up. She stands up, and the audience cheers for her as she goes out. Gabby has just won a bunch of sponsors, not like I had any, anyways.
After Gabby comes the district 11 boy, Damien Harvey, I think. I don't pay much attention to him because the first question Caesar asked him was his favourite weapon, and Damien said he doesn't know how to use weapons. I don't pay attention after that, until I hear his voice making it's way into my mind:
"Stand up and cheer for me!"
I immediately stand up and start cheering. Then, my mind registers that I'm cheering for another tribute, and I sit down embarrassed, pulling Hannah to her seat too. I look around, all the other tributes are still cheering. Except for Petunia, who had a look of… was that envy? Anyway, soon all the tributes look around embarrassed, and sit down. The last one to sit down was Andrew. I sighed. Well, at least that eliminates one ally. Plus, he's a career, all high and mighty on the scale, son of the Big Three. What was so great about Poseidon anyway? He just has a lot of power. I made yet another mental note to be aware of charmspeak in the arena.
The district 12 girl, Athlea Creaton, had nothing too special about her. She had fire powers, like Armando de Leer, and she could also make traps really well. I knew her weakness was water, so I didn't pay any special attention to her.
Now, as the district 12 male tribute is talking, I am trying to control the laughter inside me. Sure he has an awesome power, and all that. His power is super strength. But I'm sure he has never seen a school in his life, much less any form of writing or numbers. All I knew is that he would, most likely, not survive even the first day.
Planning and brains are critical in the Hunger Games. And this is the time when I am most glad to be a child of Athena. I am going to research everything about the Hunger Games, about powers, and about tactics. I will find out everything there is to know about the Hunger Games.
Such an Athena thing to say, huh? 5 reviews are needed to power the authors to write the next chapter. Anyway, I'm starting a Question and Answer thing. I'll just ask you a question and the first one to answer will get a smiley face
So, the question for today is:
What were the animal symbols of the Big Three?
All animals have to be correct :P
Ok, Good bye! Don't forget to review or I'll come to your house at night and steal your computer. Have fun whatver you will be doing after reading this :D
