The 55th Annual Hunger Games

by Liee Gou

This Games focuses on a boy named Lane Hale. From birth the boy has lived in the Victors Village. His mom never liked him much but now that he is going into the games and she is mentoring his district partner how will he deal with his childhood bully and his hateful mother or the Games them selves.

3. The Parade

Hey guys! I'm back with a hopefully longer chapter, it might even be in two parts, hey who knows, its me anyway, here is prep and the 55th Tribute Parade!

So, this is pain. I feel more of the hot wax coat my chest and I grit my teeth, Diara, a woman with bright pink hair that reminds me of the cherry blossom trees at home, tears off another strip of the wax and speaks in a very high voice, "Sooorry dear, we have to strip you clean of hair on your upper body." I let a tear roll down my cheek. Hmm if I can convince these people of my weakness then I can convince everyone else in this death pageant. I feel a soothing foam coat all of my body and I sigh from relief. The three strangely colored creatures leave the room and a bouncy woman enters the room. She has bright neon green hair with very large eyebrows. Her eyes are a bright pink, most likely fakely colored with some kind of surgery. She keeps her eyes on me and doesn't speak but walks over and runs her hands over my body. I guess the situation wouldn't be as bad if I wasn't standing there completely naked, "Oh, this should be very fun. So what would you say your bust size would be?" I give her a confused look and she giggles, "Ok, we can figure that all out later but I have something, its your costume." She holds up a green bottle of hair dye and a pair of brown underwear, textured to look like the bark of a tree, "Ummm." I tentatively take the piece of clothing and pull it on and she walks me over to a chair where I sit and she puts the dye in my hair along with gel to spike it a bit I become uncomfortable after a little and try to cover myself a bit more as the clothing is very tight and doesn't leave much to the imagination, "I-Is there any more to this?" She shakes her head and says, "Well, you should be ok, you look great." I quickly realised I would be broadcasted and said, "Are you sure? I mean theres not much here and I'm trying to play off as weak and scared." "Well, no there isn't, you need sponsors."

I reluctantly walk out to the training centrer and stand around, trying to cover myself with a blush on my face. I hear a few snickers from other people and a few laughs. Heather doesn't laugh but rather gives me an annoyed look, "Really? They tried to put someone like you in something like that?" I turn and walk away from her and she calls out, "Hey we need to talk about some shit, look we're from the same district, you're- smart, and I'm strong, we could make a good team." I feel anger spread through me as I spin on my bare heels, "Excuse you?! You should have thought of that when you bullied me and threatened me! Why would I be allies with you when you've been so rude?" I climb onto the chariot and wait, only to be pulled out and as soon as we are I hear roars from the female audience and the occasional man, this isnt right, people shouldn't be cheering for us, we're going to kill people, its sick. After the parade we leave to our rooms and I again collapse until morning

Well, theres the parade, sorry for lack of detail but I'm really tired, anyway here it is guys, there might be more up later today, hopefully. Any way until next chapter. Bye!
