Ozean Agua
District 2
I felt the satisfying crack of the dummies neck, and grinned. I would win the hunger games for sure. I heard clapping next to me and turned my head slightly.
"Congrats. You know how to kill a kid." Sisea stared at me with hate. Don't get me wrong, we got along very well. But she hated the hunger games. I'm not saying I like the idea of killing someone, but I did like the idea of victor's village.
I sighed and looked my sister straight in the eyes. "I'm doing this so you guys can live in a big house. Not to kill the kids. Get over it." I stated this as if it was the simplest thing ever, and I had no chance of dying in the arena. I didn't think I would, but it was a possibility.
My black hair fell in my face, and I cursed myself for being beautiful. Sometimes it really got in the way, having shoulder length black hair. But the girls love it. As my mom always told me, anything for the girls.
Siesa just shook her head and left the training center. I didn't understand her one bit. She should be happy for me. I had, after all, beat all the other kids in the volunteering competition. In District two, that's how we decide who gets to volunteer, through competition with each other. Let just say, I was definitely prepared.
I grabbed a trident and threw it ahead of me. Always good to make sure whatever dummy I was killing was dead.
"Oz! We are leaving! Get your butt out of there and win those games!" I heard my sister Riada call. I rolled my eyes and let them leave, so I could walk by myself. I had a lot to think about, even if these games were going to be so easy…
OoOoO
I arrived just in time to watch the speeches, how great was that? Weeds and I just whispered about the odd looking blue-haired escort the whole time, which was a lot more interesting.
"Ladies first!" Blue haired girl chirped, just a little too excitedly. Her hand dove into the bowl, and picked out a slip. "Rainey Assana?" She called out clearly, all excitement gone.
A small golden curled girl calmly made her way up to the stage, walking slowly. The entire crowd parted for her, making a large path. I quickly decided she would be easy to kill, and relied too much on sponsors. I saw her look to the side when she was up there, and when she looked back her smile was even wider then before.
I was confused for a moment, but decided I didn't care. Rainey could go looking in corners as much as she wanted, for all it mattered to me. I was only waiting to volunteer.
The blue haired girls hand reached into the other bowl, and pulled out a slip. "Ozean Agua?" She called out.
At first I was horrified, what if someone volunteered? But then I smiled smugly, I knew no one would. I shot looks at anyone I thought would volunteer, and stood up on the stage.
The girl looked into my eyes and smiled even wider! I was confused again, and I made a note to make sure she would stop confusing me.
The blue-haired girl nodded for us to shake hands, and we did. Her hand was firm and strong, gripping mine tightly. So tightly I think my blood stopped circulating.
Maybe I underestimated her.
OoOoO
I sat in the tent getting my final "goodbyes." More, I sat and waited through my family and friends telling me good luck, the whole time thinking about my competition.
As mom, and dad, and my sisters came in I wondered how hard could Rainey Assana be to beat? By the time my brother came in I had decided she looked pretty easy. When Weeds came in I remembered I was taught never to underestimate. Then again, I also learned I would always win.
It was going to be interesting to see how this all turned out.
A/N another one xD So I'm working on the list of sponsor items now, and trying to decide who's going to die in the blood bath and such. Remember your influence does count with the tributes! So lets continue with the reapings!
