Finally!
I worked on this thing allllll niiiiight just for you~!
Hope you like it! Chapter one! GO~!
Everyone gathered around the town square in their respective districts.
It was the Reaping.
Some huddled with their family crying; knowing that they had put in so much tesserae that they were going in the Hunger Games for sure this year.
In Italy, one young boy stood apart from the rest because he didn't want someone to bump into him and spill his precious pasta. His droopy eyes looked up at the lady who pulled a small slip of paper out of a large raffle.
"Feliciano Vargas!" She proudly exclaimed as if he had won a prize.
Feliciano looked up from his bowl, "Whooo~~?" he asked as he turned to the lady standing next to him. She only looked back in terror. Then he realized it was his name. He ran up on stage waving his hands and hugged the lady holding the paper with his name on it. "I won! I won!" He yelled, the lady holding the paper only smiled and nodded at his stupidity that he, in fact, hadn't won…only sealed his fate to die.
Miles away in Germany a much larger group of people gathered around town square about half an hour after the excitedly stupid Italian boy was put on a train and taken to the Capitol.
The group there was much stronger and sterner faced. They did not gravel that some one was going to die; people die all the time, no big deal. Instead they talked about different strategies to kill someone.
Pressure points seemed to be the hot topic when the same smiling, overly peppy lady pulled a name from the same raffle bin.
"Ludwig…? Um…that's it, Ludwig!"
One of the many men in the crowd held his head up high, tapped the man in front of him and asked, "Excuse me." The man moved aside and Ludwig walked toward the stage, excepting his fate. Not knowing that his 'fate' was waiting for him back in the Capitol with a bowl of pasta and a cup of wine in his hands.
Ludwig felt something pull on his pants leg and turned around to see one of his dogs biting and growling and pulling on his pants. He bent down and patted his dog on the head, "I'm sorry, boy. I have to go somewhere for a while, but I'll see you again, I promise."
The dog released and Ludwig walked up on to stage, shook hands with the lady and followed her instructions to go to the back of the stage and follow the man with the red hat who will show him to the train.
About an hour later, in Japan, a similar thing happened and a boy named Kiku Honda was called up to be a tribute. But it wasn't his dog begging him not to go, it was his cat.
In Russia:
About half an hour later, in Russia, a girl named Natalia Arlovskaya was called up on stage. She was excited to say the least.
Her older sister, Katyusha, however, cried into her little brother Ivan's arms and said, "Ivan! You have to do something! She'll get killed!"
"Natalia's a strong girl, she likes killing, da~! Its like a game for her, you'd think she's from the Capitol her self, da~! She'll do fine!" Ivan tried to reassure his sister but she just keep crying, and Ivan couldn't take it any more. He pushed his sister off of him and ran up to the stage.
"I'll take her place, da~!" He called. Natalia looked down at her brother and mouthed the words: No, I wanna play! Ivan ignored her, and looked at the peppy lady and wondered how one ends up with blue hair.
The lady looked from him to his sister, "Are you two related…?" she inquired in her normal peppy voice.
"Yes," Ivan replied, "I'm her big brother, da~."
The lady scoffed and sent Natalia back down to the crowd and shook hands with Ivan.
Ivan decided he didn't like this lady for the way she acted upon hearing his sister would no longer be in the games.
He shook hands with the lady and leaned in to whisper in her ear, "Your little Capitol friends better not say or do anything to my sisters or they'll all know you stuff your bra, da~!"
The lady blushed a little and looked down and realized a small bit of tissue paper was in fact sticking out of her shirt.
Ivan, feeling very proud that his little treat had scared the lady, walked to the back of the stage and disappeared behind the curtain.
The blue haired one nonchalantly pushed the paper back down into her shirt and followed after Ivan.
After Russia, the group traveled to China to pick up a cat-loving boy named Wang Yao.
Then they went to England to get a rather snappy man named Arthur Kirkland, and then they stopped in America to get a rather loud, obnoxious man named Alfred Jones.
From there they went to France and picked up a very…sexy (Note: I am not actually a Francis fan girl or anything, I can just see this as being a first impression of Francis! XD)…man named Francis Bonnefoy, who upon being picked gave the peppy lady a bright red rose.
In Prussia, a pretty AWESOME albino guy named Gilbert Beilshmidt was chosen as a tribute. It was actually a rather touching experience for the normally emotionless man, as he had to say goodbye to his beloved pet, Gilbird.
In Canada a very shy, quiet boy named Mathew Williams was chosen to be the Canadian tribute, he too had to say goodbye to his pet bear, Kumajiro.
In Austria a man named Roderich Edelstein was chosen and practically had to pull his girl friend, Elizabeta Héderváry, off of him.
He eyed her curiously when she told him, "Remember, Roderich, this year, so far, only guys have been chosen to go, and love is very needed, so if you ever get the urge to do something with another man, don't feel shameful, okay?" She sniffed, "I love you!"
And to wrap it all up, a sleepy man from Greece named, Heracles Karpusi practically had to peel cat after cat off of him to get up onto the stage, heck, he had to peel them off just to be able to move!
And with that, the train of tributes left for the Capitol and they're ultimate doom.
