MARVEL POV
When my stylist puts a large pink jacket on me I almost have to push him away.
"Arlo" I growl "Do I have to wear this. Pink feathers and glitters aren't going to get me sponsors!"
"What?" Arlo says surprised "This jacket was in the John Vohn Jones collection, every male in here has been dying to wear it!"
Then I remembered I'm in the Capitol where the weirder the look the better and so I allow him to put the jacket on before standing next to my district partner, Glimmer. I'll admit she's pretty looking and I did have my eye on her at the reaping when we both volunteered but I'm not really into having a girlfriend or even a friend with benefits at the moment, I'm too busy focusing on winning.
The crowd goes wild over my costume, girls swoon over me, no surprise there. The Capitol women always go insane over the District 1 tributes. The girls with their golden hair, the boys with their blonde or light brown like mine and all of us have eyes that are either emerald or sapphire. Both me and Glimmer have emerald eyes, favourites to the Capitol. They can't take their eyes off are jewels until I notice them looking further behind us and noting that they all have begun cheering for those district 12 mutts on fire. Pathetic, these people are too dumb to tell the fire is obviously fake and not even realistic.
But I try my best to forget about them by training the next day. The girl doesn't even show any particular talents apart from snares but that's nothing compared to my skill with spears. I chuck them one at a time and grab them off the trainer. He keeps messing with my technique and telling me to do something differently than what I was taught in the training centres back in District 1.
It doesn't matter in the end, at the private training session I show off my skill with spears, daggers and kukri machetes. It earns me a score of 9 which I soon realise both Tara and Glimmer got as well. My escort, Loya, tries to show me what angle I should use for my interview.
"You shouldn't be as arrogant, try showing humbleness" Loya informs me
I'm not arrogant, I'm just being proud of how great I am. The tributes are all told to line up waiting for each interview to happen and I patiently watch Glimmer flirt her way through Caesar's questions before I am told to go on.
"Wasn't she wonderful" I hear Caesar smile "Now, also from District 1 we have are very first male, let's give it up for MARVEL SANFORD!"
As soon as my name is called I bounce onto the stage smiling and laughing. I clap like the audience does and nod my head in a chilled relax way.
"WOO" I hoot at the audience earning me a large amount of cheers "YEAH! GOT A GOOD FEELING ABOUT THIS HUNGER GAMES! I CAN FEEL IT!" The audience continue to cheer and so I give them another hoot to which they applaud some more until Caesar calms them down
"Marvel what an entrance!" Caesar beams "You certainly know how to make the crowd excited"
"I feel like I'm with my people" I grin to which the audience cheers, I give out a howl and the audience laughs and some even howl back
"I can see you have plenty of sponsors already, do you think you're going to do well"
"Oh of course, you know, It's going to be a good hunger games I assure you. Don't worry though, I'll be back in the Capitol soon"
"Well were looking forward to seeing you, now tell us about your home life. What do your parents do" Caesar asks
"Well my dad works for the mayor, they are close friends and have been since child hood and my mother is Brilliant Sanford"
Caesar gasps "You mean the woman who invented the wine Brilliance?" I nod my head to his question and the audience cheers "I love her wine, such a delicious liquid, have you ever tried it"
"Oh yes, anytime I was sick when I was little by mother would make me drink it so I would puke and get it out of my system" I laugh and the audience laughs with me
"Well I wish the best of luck to you and hope to see you again soon" Caesar then takes my hand and says "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MARVEL"
I give another hoot a thumbs up and walk off the stage. Me and Glimmer patiently wait for all the other tributes to finish before we both head to are rooms and get changed, then we go back to the lobby where we have 10 minutes to discuss strategy.
"Well obviously we're fighting at the cornucopia" I say
"Do you think we should let the girl from 12 into are alliance" Tara suggests "I mean she got a training score of 11"
"No, if she's that good then don't you think she'll be able to kill us all easily" Cato says with Clove nodding her head in agreement. The rest of the conversation is boring and soon I am in my bed waiting for the next day which quickly arrives.
As my tube rises closer to the arena, a light shines above me and make my eyes go blind for a second before the arena is in view and soon so is the cornucopia. I notice a number of spears scattered around the field

I jump off my pedestal and make a dash for the cornucopia. I grab a backpack and open it to reveal the contents. Inside is a kukri machete, some food, rope and…..
My body is pushed away from the bag by an unseen force; I look up to see the district 8 male attacking me raising his hand to punch me. I block the attack before grabbing the kukri machete and slicing open his throat, he falls to the floor and I get on top of him to finish him off. I then take the backpack and run, and after a brief fight with the district 3 male over a throwing axe I begin to run to the cornucopia to grab a spear.
"MARVEL" I turn around to see Clove pointing at something inside the cornucopia, behind some crates is the girl from 10 cowering. I smirk grabbing my spear before throwing her to the floor and impaling her in the heart with it.
Me and Tara then guard the supplies whilst the others kill off the other tributes still at the bloodbath. Once they are done they come towards us and we begin to pick up the most important supplies whilst hiding the others so we can use them later.
Whilst leaving the cornucopia we see something, or someone, hiding in the bushes. Clove chucks a knife at the bush forcing them to leave their hiding place and we notice it's the boy from 12, the boy who claimed he was in love with the girl on fire, Katniss or whatever.
"Well, look who it is" Cato smirks "Lover boy"
The boy slowly crawls backwards as Cato lifts his sword
"WAIT!" Cato shouts abruptly "Perhaps you have some use"
"What do you mean" Tara asks
"He could help us find the bitch on fire" Cato smirks to us before turning back to Peeta "So lover boy, want to join us…..it's either that or die"
"I don't think you have much of an option" Glimmer laughs
He nods his head and I chuck him a dagger to use for protection.
The days go by with us not finding any tributes with the exception of the girl from 8 who Cato thought he'd slashed but lover boy had to go back and finish the job.
Me and my fellow careers are walking down the river when I notice someone. A girl with dark brown hair and a black jacket with the number 12 printed on it.
"GUYS, GUYS LOOK IT'S HER" I shout before the others notice and we all run towards her hooting and cheering like we usually do.
I see her climb a tree and Cato begins to climb it as well in hope of catching her, we all cheer him.
"Get her!" Tara shouts
"KILL HER CATO KILL HER" Clove growls
"GET HER! STICK HER CATO JUST STICK HER!" Glimmer also shouts
"COME ON MAN YOU GOT THIS!" I laugh encouragingly
The branch he is on snaps and he falls to the floor much to the amusement off Katniss. We decide to sleep under the tree and wait for her to come down herself. Soon I go off into a deep sleep.
When I wake up its mayhem, I see tracker jackers swarming around us and their uncontrollable buzzing noise enters my ears. I shout and begin to run to the lake, the only person in front of me is Clove and I don't dare turn around to see who's behind me so I don't know if we'll all make it. The cannon informs me that one of us is defiantly dead and once I jump into the lake I hear another. Soon I emerge from the water and see that Glimmer and Tara aren't here….neither is lover boy. That's when I see him running out of the lake and back to where the attack was.
"GUYS LOOK" I shout and soon we follow him
Once we get to him I see Glimmer's ugly deformed body and have to urge myself to look away. Cato in frustration slashes at lover boy before we all leave him to die.
Clove goes out hunting one day and instead of coming back with food she comes back with the male from 3. She tells us of how he can help us protect our supplies but it didn't matter, somehow they blew up and Cato killed the boy. This time it's my turn to go hunting.
I set up a net for a tribute to trap in and I soon hear the screams of a young girl and run to get whoever it was. I see Katniss and the girl from 11, I chuck my spear at them which hits the District 11 girl in her lower abdomen. Katniss turns around and I prepare another spear but she's too quick. I soon feel a sharp pain enter my neck and a warm liquid flow down my skin. I begin to choke as I pull out the arrow before collapsing to the floor.
And then the world feels empty
