I dont own any characters!
Which sucks. You know? I wish I could have at least one of them... Anyways, on with the story!
Americas POV
We were all ushered out into the studio in which we shot the Report. However, the room had faced some modifications. In the center there were two stakes with shackles on them. They were extremely intimidating, but nothing could prepare me for what happened next. Annabeth and Percy were both wearing beat up clothes, with bruises all over them. Annabeth had a weary look on her face, but the Percy reached out for her hand and she smiled. He whispered something in her ear and she nodded.
The crackle of a microphone hurt everyone's ears. Soon after King Clarkson's booming voice filled the entire room with sound.
"These to minors were caught in an act against the Crown Prince of Illea. They have committed treason, a crime punishable by death. However Prince Maxon has extended his mercy to them and have ordered a mere 15 cannings each." Clarkson finished, his voice full of disgust.
They were thrown up against the stakes, and their hands were being bound to it with the shackles.
Two men walked out with dark clothing on, and a thick, long stick in their hands. This sight made me want to curl up and close my eyes, not wanting to see what it can and will do. I look across to the other girls next to me, and they seem to be having a similar idea. Ginny and Luna and were holding each other, both of their eyes closed. Katniss is squinting her eyes at the two, just watching. Most of the girls are staring in horror, not wanting to watch but not being able to take their eyes off. Then I see Clary talking to Lena. Clary has a smug grin as she whispers something to her, and when she's done Lena nods her head.
"Totally." Lena replied. They made me sick, with Clary using Lena as her minion. So much for trying to be proper ladies.
Even though Annabeth was once crowd favorite, the audience were now counting down the seconds before the first strike. However, Clarkson got tired of waiting, and shouted, "Now! They don't deserve to be spared these extra seconds!" And with that, Annabeth let out a blood curdling scream as the cane made contact with her back. As they starred hitting, I sat there with hot tears streaming down my face. No. No! Annabeth did not deserve this! I looked over at Maxon, expecting him to hate every second of this as much as I was, but to my surprise he was just siting there, enjoying the show. At that, I just lost it.
I got up from my seat and ran as close to I could to Percy and Annabeth, screaming the whole way. Then a pair of strong arms picked me up and carried me away. I didn't even look to see who it was, because almost instantly I was knocked out.
...
Cliffie? Kinda I guess. Ok sooooooo... Hermione will be playing Kriss. Thank you for all your feedback, but I think her character fits best.
Clarrissa will be Celeste, but since I don't really know her personality, she will just act like Celeste. And, here is the list I think I will be using to reference each of the characters in my story to the elite in the actual book
America-America
Kriss- Hermione
Celeste- Clarissa
Tiny-Ginny
Natalie- Luna
Elise- Tris
Marlee- Annabeth
Bariel- Lena
Olivia- Mia
Idk who Katniss and Emma should be! Please review about the chapter and what you think of the list.
Btw thank you Zanzibaby for giving me a lot of the list above.
