The first chapter!!!!!!!! Yay! I'm doing everyone's POV for the reaping, but for everything else I'm going to switch off. Also, Thanks to Penelope Wendy Bing we have a Quarter Quell! As a reminder that it was only a matter of time till the rebels were conquered the arena will slowly self destruct, getting smaller and smaller. Driving the tributes together. And not only will it self destruct, but when a part of the arena is destroyed it wont just simply be destroyed. It will be destroyed by a disaster. An avalanche, a fire ect. So yeah thank you Penelope Wendy Bing! Now onward to the first chapter! Enjoy!
Sparkle Fonkeling POV
I glance in the mirror and smile. I'm gorgeous, and everyone knows it. My silky aqua dress stops mid thigh, showing of my beautiful long legs. You would think that a girl who's 5"10 wouldn't want to wear heals, but my four inch heals just make me look longer, leaner, and frankly, more attractive (if that's possible). I turn around as my father walks into the room.
"Honey, you ready to go?" He asks. I nod and follow him out the door. My platinum blonde swings into my face and I brush it away impatiently. Sometimes it's a pain to have such gorgeous long hair. My heals clack against the road as we walk to the main square. A lot of people would be embarrassed of this, but I love the spotlight, and why shouldn't I? I'm perfect in basically every way, I deserve the spotlight. There is a crack in the road and I stumble a bit. At once a boy is there to catch me. The others fall back as a boy with light blonde hair and sparkly blue eyes holds me in his arms. I quickly right myself and glare at him.
"What did you do that for?" I demand my emerald eyes narrowed.
"Wha- I was just, um trying to um he- help" The boy stuttered out. At once Opal and Pearl are by my side.
"Who do you think you are?!?" Pearl yells taking my arm. "You don't just trip someone like that!" of course we all know he didn't trip me, but he wasn't anyone special and I like blaming people. Seeing them turn red out of embarrassment is entertaining.
"Come on, Sparkle" Opal and Pearl drag me away. Once we are at our seats in the eighteens section we all burst out laughing.
"Did you see his face?" I choke out through laughter. Opal is laughing to hard to speak, so all she can manage is a slight nod.
"That was so funny!" Pearl squeals. When our laughter finally dies down, Pearl smoothes out her cute white dress. Then the Mayor steps up on stage and starts her boring speech about the history of Panem. I don't really listen; all I can think about is how the mayor really has to get those wrinkles fixed. Then the escort steps up and I tune in. The escort has purple hair and her skin looks like its shining.
"Happy Hunger Games! And may the odds ever be in your favor!" She squeals "Lady's first" Her hand dives into the bowl and she pulls out a slip of paper. She opens it slowly to add to the drama and I find myself sitting up in my seat. "SPARKLE FONKELING" My eyes widen, but I push the dread down. I'm ready for this. My mouth turns up into a winning smile, and I walk confidently to the stage. I hear sighing behind me, and my smile widens. The boys are upset the second Fonkeling twin is going into the games. Don't worry boys, I'll be back. Just because my twin sister died in the games doesn't mean I will. Plus its in my blood, my great grandmother won, so did my grandfather and my father. Glimmer should have won too. Then I hear a mutter that sounds like.
"Thank god the ice quean is gone" and my head snaps around to glare at the whisperer. Then I put my smile back on and step onto the stage.
"Ok now for the boys!" her hand plunges into the reaping ball and she pulls out a slip of paper. After the dramatic pause she yells "Josh Johnson!" A boy of about fourteen struts to the stage. But before he can take pride in being a tribute a boy from the fifteen section stands up and yells,
"I volunteer" He walks up to the stage with a smile on his face. I can see his muscles ripple under his dress shirt, but I'm not too worried. The arrogance of his stride isn't to promising, for him I mean. His blonde hair hangs loose and fans over his shoulders. We shake hands with our escort then with each other. The shake is cold and calculating, then we are off to the justice building. Since my father and grandfather will be my mentors they don't visit me. Opal and Pearl come and give me quick hugs. They tell me that I'll win it. When I remind them that we thought Glimmer would win, they say I learnt from her mistakes. I'll be fine. Then the peacekeepers take us to the train. I don't bother learning the name of my escort; I just go into my room and take a long shower. Pearl and Opal are right, I'll be fine.
Thank you to The Nice Career for Sparkle Fonkeling! So what do you think of her?
