CHAPTER THREE
I had to rush to the bathroom because I didn't want to miss the rest of the tributes. I'm already forgoing the tributes from 6 and if I'm going to bet this year I need to know who's who. I'm just in time to throw myself back onto the sofa and stare intently at the tributes from District 10.
"Jack Harkness!" Introduces Caesar, pointing to the boy. He's tall and burly, broad shoulders, a wicked grin and short brown hair. I can't figure out why he's grinning. I usually forgive the careers for their elation at volunteering, but he was reaped. I don't know why he'd be happy about this. It occurs to me that he's probably one of the laugh-in-the-face of danger types. I like that type of person; they make the games more interesting.
"Tally Youngblood!" Is the girl. She has slightly frizzy ginger hair, which I suppose looks better on a less troubling day, and emerald green eyes. She has her hands in the pockets of her jacket, and if I had to read her facial expression, I might even say she looked bored. Bored with the bleak surroundings, as if she expected better from the district, and bored by the reaping, as if she was expecting something more exciting. I can't decide whether or not I like her yet. The bored expression speaks of a slight arrogance to me, but to be honest, I never know what to expect with the tributes. For all I know that arrogance is verging on modesty.
Between the tributes from District 10 and District 11, Caesar Flickerman gets a message from someone behind the camera who I can't see.
"Well, ladies and gentlemen," He greets, flashing us all a winning smile. "It seems like we have a few early sponsors, already! Remember folks, keep the money smart! Just wait until you see this batch of tributes in training!" He signs off and the screen shifts again to the tributes of District 11. I lean forwards expectantly in my seat. It seems a little unfair to me that some people are simply ignoring the tributes from the outer districts. They didn't even give them a look before they bet all their money on the career brutes from 1, 2 and 4.
Hey everyone, and thanks for reading :) It was quite a bit shorter this time (I need to write more per one...) because I've had quite a few requests over review and PM about which characters people want and I though I should try for a few more before I do the next few tributes :D ALSO Please follow/favourite the story if you enjoyed it because it means a huge amount to me :) If you have character from any fandom you want me to use just review/PM them to me and I'll do my best to add them in :)
Once again, THANK YOU FOR READING! :D :D :D
