I decided to create another tribute to show what the other tributes look like to someone who thinks they don't have a chance to win these games. I do not own the HG, only the characters I create like Grace and Lily.

Grace Morgans- District 6

I looked around the Training Center, there were so many tributes. I was alone, and no one wanted me. During the Reaping I was shocked to hear my name called, my parents abandoned me when I was three and I could never remember anything about them. All those I met tried to explain that they were doing what they had to in order to insure my survival.

But my survival is far from insured, I don't have any training, which ensures my death, there's no use pursuing towards an impossible goal. I was currently sitting on a bench that over looked the incredibly large room. My fellow district tributes had made it very clear that they wanted nothing to do with me, my life meant nothing at all. Normally the tributes would ally with other districts but no one would even think of doing that after the rule change aside from the careers, and no one would waste their time with me. I was weak and there was nothing else, I was a healer not a fighter, but no one even noticed. Unless I could kill I was useless to everyone.

There were a few tributes looking at me, I understand why, usually you see a twelve year old cowering in a corner, but I'm thinking of my own death, I know it's coming so what's the use of trying to prevent it. There are so many things I want to escape from, especially my parents, they always look at me with sad expressions. What do you do when your parents are even waiting for you to die?

A girl walked over to me, I recognized her as a career the one from District 1, her long blonde hair was tied up into a lazy pony-tale, her emerald green eyes looked at me seeming confused.

"Why aren't you training?" she asked, her eyes were twitching slightly, in return I shrugged and watched as all the children in the room handled dangerous weapons with skill and accuracy, I wasn't going to last two seconds. The girl shook my shoulders slowly, trying to bring me out of my trance,

"Ok than, why aren't you with your district?" she asked, I decided to answer. She seemed nice enough at the moment,

"They made it very clear that I was unwanted." I stated, her face was twisted in pain and confusion,

"But you're part of that district…" she trailed off looking at me sadly, I nodded and looked down at my hands, they were callused from working around District 6 for extra money and food, I did whatever I could from planting crops to simple things like baby-sitting. I looked up and spotted my district laughing together, I let my eyes wonder a little farther. There in the middle of the group was Shawn, I had a crush on him, and he was my best friend. But obviously that didn't matter at all, he was one of the first to vote me out.

All of a sudden the girl wrapped her arms around me, I thought she was attacking me so I yelped slightly. But she started to stroke my hair, that's when I realized I was crying, she was murmmering words of encouragement to me, I smiled a bit and patted her back carefully, she was still a career, so why did she care so much for me?

When she pulled away she looked distressed,

"Why were you crying?" she asked, I turned back towards my district, they were still having fun and laughing, they didn't even notice my little episode. I turned back towards the girl and she gave me an encouraging smile,

"Oh!" she exclaimed with another smile, "My name is Gabriella, what's yours?" she asked,

"Grace." I stated and she smiled again, "My district…my best friend was voted into the games…I had a crush on him, and he was one of the first ones to vote me out. I don't have any training, my parents they…they…when I was born they took me to the community home and left me there, I didn't even know I was a child of a Victor." Gabriella hugged me tightly again, I was crying again, and I realized that she was crying to. I patted her back and she gave a small shaky laugh before she pulled away,

"Why are you being so nice to me?" I asked her, her face fell.

"You remind me of my sister, she went into the games a few years ago when she was twelve, she died during the blood-bath." She stated, running through the words faster than I thought possible. I nodded slowly and glanced back at my district, they weren't laughing now, they were all looking at me. I tapped Gabriella's shoulder, she smiled at me,

"My district." I spoke quietly, she looked over to see them all glancing back and forth between us and the other careers. I was surprised when Shawn ran towards us, he stopped in front of us,

"What are you doing?" he demanded, I didn't know if he was referring to me or Gabriella or both of us. He reached forward and began to shake my small frame,

"Are you insane, you're betraying you're district and you're parents!" he yelled at me, I winced at his words, I looked over at Gabriella, but she was already on her feet.

"You have two seconds to let her go." She spoke slowly barely able to contain her anger, Shawn released me and I began to massage my arms, there were going to be bruises.

"You don't have any right to be telling her what she can and can't do Shawn!" she yelled, I remembered I gave her the details of what he looked like a few moments before, his messy dark brown hair fell in his amazing green eyes while he registered what Gabriella had just said,

"Excuse me, she's from my district!" he yelled, I stood up slowly, I was small compared to him, he was thirteen almost fourteen, while I was twelve almost thirteen.

"You all made it perfectly clear that I was unwelcome in the District 6 alliance." I stated before grabbing Gabriella's hand and trying to pull her with me, I noticed I was crying again, Gabriella turned me around to face Shawn,

"Are you happy with what you're doing?" she demanded, gesturing towards me, I looked at the ground, embarrassed. I glanced up in time to hear him grumble before running back towards the others,

"I did what I had to." I looked over to Gabriella,

"I'm going to die in the arena alone." I stated, I turned to walk off but she grabbed my hand and pulled me with her towards the archery station, it was amazingly the most vacant of all the stations. The others were at the swords and knives or wrestling.

"No you're not." She stated, I began to argue but she stopped me, "I'm going to take care of you."

Ok, review please. Oh, if you want me to continue with Grace I will, but be sure to tell me. I have some good ideas for her, I can also do Gabriella's POV. Thank you for reading
