Chapter 5, so this one should be about 1,000 words; hopefully. Just started reading Divergent, very good so far.
I don't own Doctor Who or Percy Jackson or the Hunger Games.
Percy's PoV
I don't why I volunteered, I honestly don't, but for some reason I just felt compelled to do it.I looked at the faces around me, The Doctor was surprised, the kid named Peeta looked relieved and thankful, while Gale and Katniss looked dumbfounded. I walked up to the stage and stood, my eyes taking in the sight of everyone around me, the gray back drop that was the city. Then everyone kissed their mid-fingers and raised them high, I didn't know what it meant, but Katniss was clearly affected by it.
We were then rushed inside the Mayor's house or the Justice building {Which seemed like a bogus name, if your wondering} to say our farewells, maybe even our final goodbyes. My first visitor was Peeta Mellark, he stood by the door akwardly, "I..uh ...I wanted to thank you for volunteering for me, I am eternally grateful for what you did, I mean, I don't even know who you are, thats the amazing thing." After he finished his little speech,, he reached his hand out; I shook it and wished me luck.
The Doctor came in next "Now, I don't know why you did it but I guess this how we will end these games. I will try to visit you from time to time, but other then that I can't really help you." "But Doctor, something isn't right, the Gods wouldn't let this happen. Something is afoot." The Doctor pulled a sliver stick out his pocket, turned it on and swept the room with it. He looked at it after word, "Huh, thats odd." "What's odd?" "Oh nothing, don't worry about it. But I think you are right, something is not right here." The Doctor finished before a Peacekeeper barged in and began lead him towards the door, "Good luck Percy!" he said and then I was alone.
After the creepy Pink Lady , who introduced herself as Effie, lead us towards what looked like a train platform and ushered us inside the luxurious space. Like wow, it was amazing inside! Their was a large couched nestled in the corner with a book shelve placed nearby, a table fully stocked with fancy looking food was in the center with a small number of chairs along side didn't seem impressed, in fact she seemed cold most of the time. Effie sat down and beckoned for us to do the same.
After gorging on fancy food and sipping sparkling apple cider, I decided to retire for the night and take a shower, our so called mentor had been too hung over join us which I was actually okay with. I tried to sleep, but I felt uneasy, like someone was watching me. I shook it off and tried to sleep, after awhile I was lulled into a dreamless sleep.
I felt like I just closed my eyes and then I was shaken awake by one Everdeen, who seemed like she was in a good mood. She laughed when she saw my face. "Come on Percy, Haymitch wants to see us!" I bolted upwards and then shrunk back down and covered myself with my blanket " Katniss! I am not decent!" My voice cracked and came up an octave higher then usual. She giggled, I mean full on giggled. She choked as she realized what she was doing. "If I leave you better get up, or else!" She threatened. I and began to get up but she was still sitting on my bed, clearly relaxed. It was probably one of the most awkward experiences of my life so far. She turned away blushing and walked out as I got dressed.
After I got fresh, new clothes on I marched out, ready to talk to the drunk that was our mentor. As I sat across from him, Katniss joined us and sat down next to me, not meeting my eyes. I looked at Haymitch "Sooo, got any useful tips for the pair of us?" he glanced up looking slightly hung over and ignored me, instead asking me to pass the jam. I gave him my best wolf stare and he actually flinched! He straightened up, clearly impressed by my stare, "Well looks we might actually win this year." He looked at Katniss "And what can you do sweetheart?". She responded by jamming a knife right between two of his fingers. He pulled it out of the wood "Anything else you can hit besides a table?" She threw it the wall and it lodged itself seam between two wood panels. She then stormed out of the dining area and slid her compartment door shut.
As we pulled into the station we were greeted by a crowd of weird clown looking people, they waved and cheered as we pulled into the station. I was first out and began to wave at all the people of the capitol. We were immediately taken to our stylists, where I was washed down {I made sure my powers weren't active } , and had a brush ran through my hair about a thousand times before they gave up on my wind swept went to cleaning and trimming my nails. After I was done being shaped up, I was given the outfit I would be wearing as I rode down the street.
I was finally ready to go and mounted the Chariot. It was pretty scary, apparently we would be lit on fire while people cheered and clapped. Katniss mounted up next to me and we looked at each-other, our eyes met and lingered before we both looked away, blushing. We were then sent out and went people saw us they went wild, they cheered and clapped and they overhead screen shown the two of us, and let me say Katniss looked hot! We held hands and held them high for the crowd to see. We then made to the end and and the camera focussed on an old, white haired, white dude who made a stuffy speech about the greatness of the Capitol, it reminded me of Zeus and I chuckled to myself. We were then sent up to our rooms and I immediately said good night and and jumped into my bed and fell fast asleep.
Hopefully you guys liked this one! :} I tried to make it longer than usual, and as always have a good night and I will see you in the next chapter!
