DISCLAIMER:
ME:I DON'T OWN THE HUNGERGAMES
As we sat across the table from our mentor I knew we weren't going to get along. I found out his name was Warren. In between slurping orange juice he explained to us that Willoe needed to slim down and I needed to bulk up. Apparently there was a whole gym training train car. And that we were to work out there at least twice a day if we wanted sponsors or to win. Hardly ate anything. I had half of a….um….i don't even know what it was but it tasted buttery and melted on my tongue. Warren then questioned us about our strengths. He asked what weapon we preferred. For me it was knife, for Willoe it was….sword which actually surprised me. Warren smiled when she said that "We may just stand a chance," he repeated. After a couple days we reached the capitol. The train had been on a large bridge piercing like an arrow through an abyss. Warren explained that the large abyss was to protect against bombing or rebellion reaching the capitol. As we reached the capitol I stood in shock. I cant even describe what I saw, But I'll try. Up out of the abyss rose a large cement dam. With a large moat behind it. Water was cascading down the side of the dam into the abyss like an over sized waterfall that had been eating to much McDonalds. The flow of water was so wide I cant even describe it (well I guess I just did) Beyond that stood the shining capitol. The awe inspiring sight shocked me the large chrome, colorful, cement towering skyscrapers amazed me. Our train went straight through the large waterfall. Strange creatures swam around in the crystal clear waters.
It was still a days travel to the parade grounds. Where we would have our tribute parade.
For that entire day we sat and watched videos of almost all the previous hunger games. All the way up to the 32 which was smaller and less grand it got better and better the longer it went on. In the 54th hunger games a brother and sister were both chosen and the brother brutally murdered his younger sister on the first day. In the 65th a diabetic child only 12 died of high blood sugar he went into a diabetic coma on the 3rd day and was spared of a gruesome death. In the 56th the arena had been a large Italian city. One scene I still had stuck in my mind was the careers piling the body of a 13 year old boy into the tile frame of a bus stop and then lit the bus stop on fire. And laughed as they watched the kid burn to death. Then later all the remaining 8 tributes other than the careers all teamed up by the lake side and took on a shower of arrows killing 3 then charged the careers in a abandoned school playground and mobbed the careers to death. Then took on a wave of mutts I remember one kid who looked like Willoe screaming at the top of slide as a mutt chewed through her leg then dragged her away splintering bone the mutts ripped through the children. The last 4 tributes stood facing the mutts and sang their districts national anthem. That was the only year there was no winner. All 4 of them were blown to pieces by the game makers thinking that this act of courage would cause an uprising. Me and Willoe sat on the plush couch sobbing as we watched the kids being brutally murdered. It did have one thing that wasn't a down side. Well 2 first we learned a lot of strategies and second I got to spend more time with Willoe. In the most dramatic games ive ever seen the remaining 12 tributes including careers lined up in a suicide circle. On the count of three they all threw their axes knives of arrows at the person in front of them. Killing all but 2 they both loved each other and one was to afraid to kill the other. Love popped up in the hunger games everywhere.
