Here's Chapter 1 from Glimmer's point of view!
Glimmer
I'm different from the other District 1 and 2 tributes. I despise the Hunger Games, much less want to be in it. Everybody thinks it's something to be proud of, and if you die, you at least die a hero with respect. All I see the Hunger Games as, is a death hole. My trainer told me to join the careers, district 1 and 2, because they'd help me. I'd rather join the district 11 and 12 group. As I had gone into the Hunger Games, Cato grew on me. I don't know when I started to like him, but we were in the in the middle of the games, and only 1 out of the 2 of us could survive. So it isn't worth it. He would probably just let me die in the first minute anyway, right? I bet Cato doesn't even care about any one of us, no matter how much he acts like he does. Anyway, I'm still in the Hunger Games, and have been for 10 long, treacherous days. Not one person has died yet. I didn't want anybody to, I didn't like it, but I need to survive, and in order for that to happen, everyone else has to die.
Since I'm one of the careers I shouldn't worry or be nervous, but I can't help it as it was nerve-wracking. The only thing District 1 is good at is beautifying the Capitol. I really don't know how our district managed to make it into the careers, but we do get special training for the games. I'm 5 foot 7 inches, so I'm pretty average height. I have blonde hair and blue eyes, and I've heard I'm beautiful even though I think I could do better. Seriously, they don't seem to get that my beauty isn't going to help me in the Hunger Games, where the only thing that matters is survival.
As I saunter through the woods, I keep wondering when the Capitol is going to call the games off. People are going to start getting bored watching us, which I'm totally fine with. I don't like being a piece in their game show that the president needs to entertain Capitol residents, and so far, their little game show that they call the Hunger Games is failing, just the way I want it to.
I soon heard a beautiful, high pitched whistle. It sounded close. I made a split second decision, and decided to find out who that was. I started to run as fast as my feet would carry me towards the sound. Once there, I saw Rue, locked up and tangled in a thick snare woven together with fibers of thick grass. She was struggling to get, only to get tangled up even more. Rue started to scream, ringing in my ears. I knew Marvel had set that snare to catch food; instead he has caught a tribute that he'll finish off without a second glance. I can't leave the little girl there when I know what's going to happen to her, but if I saved Rue, I'd look like anything but a career. I will also lose any chance I had of joining the careers. Looking at Rue, a girl who was forced into the arena, I knew what I had to do. I scampered over to her, cutting the snare, with a sharp knife I had gotten from the Cornucopia. I was glancing around quickly to make sure Marvel hadn't come yet, when I saw Katniss charging over, an arrow held at ready in her bow. I quickly snapped the snare, which came toppling down, and tried to make a run for it. I was too slow. Katniss came toppling over me, and I felt like I was being hit with a boulder. I've never been good at taking weight. When I regained my composure, I saw her arrow pointed at my heart, the point just barely touching, with the brown feathers at the end. She kept asking me why I had helped Rue, and honestly, I don't know. I told her the truth, but I also told her that I can't bear to see such a young girl being killed when I could have done something to save her.
After that, I was invited to join them as an ally, and of course I said yes. I was finally allies with those that I wanted as my partners. We soon heard a loud bellowing sound that sounded like a foghorn. It almost broke my eardrums! A man, I'm guessing the game maker, announced that the Hunger Games was over for the year, and all surviving tributes were now victors. I was bursting with joy! Who knows how much longer I would have been to last!
Please comment! I welcome bad and good! I'm sorry if it's not that great!
