Serena Namikaze's POV
When Serena was little, her parents had abused her with anything. Her parents had told her to show no emotions because emotions are a weakness. They had starved her enough to drive her to the limit, but had given her just enough food and water to survive. They had shown her no love.
She walks outside the town wearing long sleeves and pants to not show any bruises or scars that her parents had left on her body.
When she had gotten older, she had packed her stuff up and had left her parents to go live with her friends. She had gotten up silently to leave the house. She had walked into her friend's house, telling them everything that happened since she was born about her parent's constant abuse.
Now, Serena is finally happy living with her friends. She and her friends go to the training center everyday and night to train for the games. She has hated the games since she had seen a lot of children die every year in the games. She wishes the games would just disappear.
The night before the reaping, Serena has nightmares of her parents abuse. She starts shivering in her sleep. Her friends wake her up, asking her what is wrong. She cuddles with them like sisters.
When the day comes, she wakes up early to go hunting for food. She shoots an arrow at a deer, killing it, she easily lifts it into her bag and takes it home to eat for breakfest. She eats happily with her friends/family. When it's time for the reaping, she changes into her favorite sky blue dress, sky blue heels, moon locket, blue jacket, and rose earrings. She walks to the reaping with her friends.
When she enters the reaping area, she gets her finger pricked. She and her friends go to their own age sections while waiting for the escort to arrive. Serena's mind can't stop whirring. She knows that all of her friends have experience with weapons and anything else to survive the games. In that moment, Serena knows that if a small kid is reaped, she will volunteer to take his or her place.
When the escort comes up to the platform, she shows the video of the rebellion of all districts in which a lot of people died. The escort talks about the treaty.
"Hunger games are from ages are optional." The escort drones on.
When the escort finishes talking, she takes out a slip of paper from the reaping bowl.
She says to all the children,"When I call your name, please come up." "First, girl tribute."
Serena shoutsout,"I volunteer!" She runs up to the platform with no emotion. She waits for the escort to introduce the guy tribute.
The escort says,"Let's pick the guy tribute."
She sticks her hand into the bowl to pick another young guy's name.
Another person volunteers, Stud Wellman.
He walks up to the platform. He shakes hands with Serena. They are taken to the room where they can say goodbye to their family and friends.
Serena sees her family and friends walk in crying, sad that she's in the games. She tells her family,
"I'll survive the games to see you after I win. I promise to live through to the end."
She turns to her friends says,"I love you as sisters and best friends. You all helped me through my troubled times when I had nightmares. I will survive until the end of the games."
She smiles happily as she waves to her family and friends goodbye as they leave the room. She is pushed out of the room and to the train tracks where she meets her district partner and her mentor.
Stud Wellman's POV
As the sun rises, the dark colored granite buildings have a faint glow to them. Stud rises out of his king sized bed, he ruffles his light brown hair and smiles.
"Todays the today," he says with excitement, he feels the corner of his mouth come into s smirk. He grabs a slick skintight black athletic suit and heads towards the training center. He finally makes it to the large building and can hear the sound of future victors running around. Stud sees his girlfriend Dazzle. Stud has never liked Dazzle, but being the mayors son, his parents do everything for him. He makes his way towards her.
"Hello, Honey," says Stud with annoyance, he flicks his light brown bangs out of his eyes. Dazzle has a ridiculous smirk on her face; she has soft flared blonde hair with pale blue eyes and light tan skin.
"Hello, baby," she squeals, she grabs Stud's forearm and pulls him towards her friends.
"Baby, you remember Juliet, Opal and Farria," says Dazzle with smile. Stud waves his hand at them and the three females wave back. Stud has always hated her friends they are all blondes and are always too perky. Stud kisses dazzle's cheek and heads towards the sword station. There is a long line but that doesn't stop him.
"Get out of my way idiots," shouts Stud, he pushes his way through the throng of people. He makes it to the sword instructor and challenges the female. Stud grabs a sword and they are off, the female springs at him but Stud thrusts his sword, she dodges it and tries to cut him again. But Stud faces her and hits her sword and it falls out of her hands.
"Ha!" screams Stud, he throws his sword down and heads home.
When he makes it up the stairs towards his room, he grabs a silk navy blue suit and goes down the stairs.
"Stud!" screams his father, Stud slowly makes his way towards his father.
"I want us to coordinate, so grab the maroon colored suit," his father orders.
"Ugh, okay," shouts Stud, he goes back towards his room and grabs his maroon suit and heads out. When he comes into view of the reaping, he is attacked and sees Dazzle on his arm. She is wearing a dark green dress that stos mid-thigh an a thick woven black belt.
"Oh, honey your muscles are coming in nicely," says Dazzle seductively. She started biting her lower lip. The couple separate with a kiss and they go their separate ways. Studs father comes out onto the podium and starts to talk about how we should continue to win and why everyone should participate in this event. The escort comes into view and she moves towards the female reaping bowl.
"Would, Sparkle Danes come up front?" calls the escort. Stud sees a very thin twelve year old come into view.
"I volunteer!" shouts a female she has long silvery blonde hair and she is very petite.
"What's your name sweetie?" cooes the escort.
"I'm Serena Namikaze," she says with smile. The escort comes towards the males bowl and fishes out a name.
"I volunteer!" Stud shouts, he runs up towards the front and grabs the mic from the escort.
"I'm Stud Wellman, winner of the 28th hunger Games!" He shouts with glee. The escort makes Stud shake hands with the female and then they are ushered into the justice building.
Stud looks around the justice building room, he has been through this building a million times and for the moment he's about to spend right now it seems a million times different. The room has creme colored laced curtains, with golden arm chairs and the room is drenched in wine red wall paper. It seems to be littered in jewels. The door starts to jingle and in walks his girlfriend Dazzle, she has mascara running down her cheeks and she has her friends surrounding her.
"Hey, honey," Dazzle cries, she wipes her nose and tears away and sits next to Stud on the golden couch.
"Why are you such a mess?" asks Stud with disgust, a frown appearing on his face.
"I'm just so sad that I wont have you for two weeks until you come back," she says as she keeps sniffling, she drapes herself around him and he sees her friends eying him.
"Please get off of me, your embarrassing yourself," says Stud with no remorse.
"But, don't you love me?" she asks Stud, she has tears flowing from her eyes and her mascara continues to run further down her cheeks.
"Dazzle, I have never loved you" he says "The only reason I ever dated you was because my dad thought you were perfect for me but you weren't," says Stud, he rises up and walks towards the table and grabs a glass of champagne. Dazzle rises up aswell and her face becomes red, she heads out the door and spills the glass of champagne on Stud.
"You stupid blonde," shouts Stud, he grabs another glass and he hears the door slam.
A few minutes later the door opens again and Studs father walks in with his mother. His father wears a light beige cashmere sweater and some dark khaki pants, while his mother wears a dress made completely out of rubies.
"Hello, son," says his father he comes and grabs a glass of wine.
"Hello father, Hello mother," says Stud with poise, he holds his head high.
"Son, before I leave I just want to say become leader of the pack and kill the males of the group," his father says.
"Okay father," says Stud, he gives his mother a hug and his parents head out the door.
