PERCY'S POV
I stare on in boredom as "President Snow" calls the tributes "courageous" and "brave" as if they wanted to participate in these murderous games. Scratch that, I heard District 1 and 2 finds this as an honor. I'm glad Chiron didn't send Annabeth and me to those districts. Honestly, I like District Four. Even though I wasn't there long, and while I was there, I was sent off to an arena to kill innocent people, it gives me an excuse to have an advantage in the water without looking like a freak. Not that I care what the Capital thinks of me. At least I don't watch teenagers kill each other for my entertainment.
"..And may the odds be ever in your favor!" President Snow finishes off, and I scowl. Something about the President just.. ticks me off?
Annabeth grips my hand tightly as our chariot lurches into motion. I know what she's worried about, and there's nothing I can do to help her. I'm just as worried as she is. What if we can't save Katniss and Peeta, all while saving ourselves? What if Luke succeeds in stopping the rebellion? What if-
"Percy? You have to get out," Annabeth looks at me oddly, her grey eyes showing her confusion. How long was I zoned out? I swear, it was just a minute ago that she was holding my han-
Annabeth rolls her eyes, and yanks me out of the chariot. I fall face first into the ground, and all of the other tributes laugh. I think I heard Thalia and Nico's laugh among the rest. Great, now I looked like an idiot infront of the people who want to kill me. I scowl at Annabeth as stand back up, dusting myself off.
"Come on," she laughs, "We should go talk to Katniss and Peeta."
"I'm Annabeth Chase, and this is my boyfriend, Perseus Jackson," Annabeth smiles kindly at Katniss and Peeta, and only receives a smile from Peeta. Katniss just scowls and looks as if she'd like to be anywhere but here. It doesn't go unnoticed.
"Okay, Katniss, you may not like us," Annabeth snaps, "But you could at least pay us a mind or two, because honestly, we may be the only tributes here who don't want to kill you."
Katniss narrows her eyes at Annabeth, and Annabeth doesn't even flinch. After a moment, Katniss grins, extending her hand out to blonde haired girl, "Katniss Everdeen. You know, you're not bad."
Annabeth laughs, "Neither are you, Katniss Everdeen."
I clap my hands together, "I'm glad we're all fine and dandy here, ladies."
Katniss and Annabeth both glare at me, and I put my hands up in surrender. Annabeth's glare alone scares me, but now Katniss'?
Oh, boy.
Not sure if this is a good chapter. I wrote this at 2:00am. Review?
