So this is the interviews chapter. I hope you enjoy it!


Iris Hound D2

My stylist has put me in a gorgeous dark red dress, the colour of blood. It is inlaid is tiny black crystals and is mesmerizing to look at. I'm so pleased with what he has done to me. Along with my score and a great interview, the sponsors will be flocking to me like the birds do back home when you throw them bread, only they're the birds, and I'm the bread.

We're readying ourselves to go out and the stylists have just been told to leave and take their seats. Mine just nodded to me and smiled. She knows I'm going to be amazing.

Since my score I've really felt my mood change from that horrible dark bitch I was back home. Maybe I won't give Connectus from 3 the horrible death that I promised her. Maybe just a quick one. Wow, what a nice person I am!

Suddenly the Capitol anthem starts blaring out and I can barely hear my heart beat. The door in front slides open and in single file, all 24 of us walk out into the screaming mass of Capitol people.

I keep my head held high and carefully sit myself down on a comfy chair in front of a table with a big '2' marked on it.

The music dies down until I can finally hear my heartbeat.

Caesar materialises onto stage in a puff of smoke and the audience go wild in excitement. This year he has gone for the bright red look.

He introduces himself and does his trademark chit-chat before every show.

He invites on the first tribute, Krystal.

She's wearing a very revealing dress. It's bright pink and very short, I think I can see the top of her hip from here. It's very tight around her waist and her hair is made to look like she's just got out of bed. If she wins this games, she'll be doing that for Capitol people a lot. I've never seen them go for the slutty look so much, I mean ever. She sits down with her legs wide open and the cameras shoot up there, only to be disappointed by a screen covering herself. Well, at least she's got a fraction of dignity. She msut be trying to make up for her shamble of a score.

She spends most of her interview posing to the cameras and crawling all over the seat like some sort of animal. She ends her interview by giving Caesar a lap-dance of sort which everyone can see is a weird experience for him.

Leo, her brother is extremely forgettable and goes down the clichéd 'I've been preparing for this a long time and I'm ready to go.'

Yoko is annoyingly good and makes the crowd laugh so much

Now it's time for me.

I'm invited up and I can see the camera's flashing in my face. I'm joint top of the scores. I know I'm the best of the best, and they know too.

I sit down and shake Caesar's hand.

"So Iris, we all loved your first round, want to tell us about it?"

"Well I just wanted to get it over and done with as soon as possible, I mean this games is the real challenge, that was just a walk in the park for me."

"Very good Iris" he replies.

The next dew questions are just some mild chit-chat until the last question he asks.

"Just one question before you allotted time is up," he says quickly but with precision," it's obvious you know how to kill, got any idea who you're going to kill first."

I think about this one before answering and know exactly what to do.

Connectus Jones D3

Iris point her hand straight at me. Straight into my face and says, "Her, that bitch from District 3."

No one has ever said something like that before. I guess there's a first for anything.

I feel tears welling in my eyes but have to mentally slap myself in the face. I can't show fear, not here, not now, not ever.

The crowd is full of hushed whispers, but all I can hear is that she'll win against me. Nice to know the crowd are on my side.

Iris goes and sits down and Electron goes up.

I don't really listen to his interview. I'm thinking about how I'm going to respond to what Iris said because Caesar is bound to ask me.

I'm still in mid thought when a hear a buzzer sound and I know it's now time to go up.

I stand and smile to the audience.

What angle am I going for? i didn't think about that?

I think, sweet and bubbly. I don't really know but it's the first thing that comes into my head.

I begin to skip and shake Caesar's hand a bit too vigirously.

I sit down with a straight back staring at him intently. I think the sweet and bubbly is coming off a bit crazy and retarded so I decide to tone it down a bit.

"So Connectus, you're one of the youngest here, doesn't that phase you?"

I think a bit before answering because I can't show fear. "Well, I'm here for a reason right? I won the first round, which means that I'm good enough to be here. I also got higher than over half of the other people, so no it doesn't really phase me that much," I say confidently.

"Very good Connectus, I love your confidence, it really shines through."

"Thanks very much Caesar, I love your hair this year, red is my favourite colour you know."

"Because it's the colour of blood, and this games I am going to make blood flow, especially from Iris."

OOPS! I wasn't meant to say that, it just came out! The audience is laughing so hard.

I look over at Iris and she's glaring at me with a look of pure hatred. Oh well I might as well carry it on, the audience love it. I finish it off by saying, "2 can play at that game Iris you stupid cow!"

The audience just go crazy for me. Screaming out my name and chanting that Iris will die. I frantically search for Beetee in the audience and he is laughing and gives me a thumbs up. That's when I know I'm doing it right.

Caesar and I finish with some idle chit chat and then we're done. I go and sit down and I know, deep in my heart, that I have signed my own death sentence. However I don't come across that way. My sweet and bubbly personna has got to complete pulp.

Danny Draddock D9

The interviews have gone down great so far. The good ones have been Connectus from 3 and Tesla form 5 so far. Now it's my turn. I hope I can pull this off. I sit down opposite Caesar.

"So Danny, what do you have to say about your score, it was extemely surprising."

"Well there's going to be plenty more surprises in the arena I can tell you that Caesar."

He laughs and pats my back.

"Well I can see you're quite a killer, what motivates you?"

There's nothing like getting a bit of sympathy to get sponsors, "My motivation, well, back home my mother is dying and the only way she will survive is if I win and get her Capitol medecine. If I don't win, and die, she won't get the medecine she needs and will almost certainly die."

"Oh, I'm so sorry Danny, my condolences to you at this hard time for you," you can see on his face that he is truly touched by this and the whole audience has gone silent. He wait a couple of seconds that feel a lot longer before continuing. "Do you think that this might affect your performance in the arena in a negative way?"

"Oh no Caesar," I swiftly reply,"I'm still going to let the blood flow."

This goes down well and then the buzzer goes off. Caesar thanks me and I go back to my seat.

Katniss Everdeen D12

Overall the interviews have gone OK. There's only been 4 memerable people; Connectus from 3, Telsa from 5, Danny from 9 and Melissa from 9. Danny should win this whole thing. He's got the audience's side and he's already shown that he can kill with his first round and 11 in training.

Lea and Blake were ridiculously forgettful. I told them they did well but they did terribly.

The confession of love from Melissa from 9 to Danny also from 9 ent down a treat. Danny shouted that he felt the same way and got a whack from a peacekeeper becaus ehis time was over which put the audicence into hysterics. They're the new 'star crossed lovers' except now they're District 9. I'm not feeling too well about my tributes for tomorrow.


I hope you liked the chapter, makes sure to review!
