CHAPTER 4

I've written them all down in my notebook now; each and every tribute. I just have to wait from the District 11 tributes now, something I'm looking forward to. Say what you like about the outlying Districts, they have spirit despite it all. District 11 work with plants too, so they're usually more at home in most areas, something the tributes from the concrete paved District 1 will never be. It's just unfortunate that they don't train.

"Welcome to our tributes from District 11!" Caesar Flickerman and the ever changing screen behind him shifts.

"Luffy Monkey!" He announces. The boy is lanky, with olive skin and black hair. He's grinning, another feature I find odd. The outer Districts seem awfully… chipper this year. Not a bad thing, but certainly unusual. He's wearing a straw hat and a red waistcoat, which seem to me like farmer clothes. He hasn't dressed up for the reaping, almost as if he'd forgotten about it, and yet he's grinning as if it's all fine. He's doing well, because I'm intrigued and that's what sponsors like.

"The girl from District 11… Dekka Talent!" Announces Caesar. The girl has dark skin, hair and eyes. She's well built, muscled, silent and unsmiling. She might not intrigue me as much as Luffy does, but she's scary and she's strong and she's silent. In other words: She's a sponsor magnet.

I pour another glass of champagne and jot their names down in my little notebook.

"The District 12 tributes!" Caesar calls and the screen makes its penultimate shift.

"James Moriarty!"

He scares me. That's all I can say. He's smiling fairly sweetly at the camera and its sending shivers down my back. Because under the sweet surface I can see the threat. The malicious spider underneath it all, waiting to strike. The smile doesn't reach his dark eyes and it scares the hell out of me. Dark hair and eyes, with pale skin. He reminds me a little of the Holmes boy from District 3. Only evil. I can't tear my eyes away from him, so the camera does it for me. It's the girls turn.

"Teresa Runner!" Caesar cries and the girl is shown and my breath is taken away. She's beautiful. Creamy pale skin, like the boy, curly black hair and electric blue eyes. She stands taller than the boy, although they both look about 16, and she does look fairly well muscled. I like her. She, like so many of the others, looks like she has spirit. If I'm going to sponsor someone this year it's going to be a hell of a job picking who.

One thing's for certain though, these games are going to be… Unforgettable.
