Hi ladies and gents. So how I'm doing tribute intros is a little different. I'll be doing it by the groups. So first is Chanel, then Iris and so on. They will also be different ages as the groups move on. Chanel's group will be 5 years old. You'll experience their first year of training. Iris' group will be introduced at 10, Mackenzie's at 12, and Huck's at 16. Keep in mind that the tributes are young right now, so they won't be the psychos you saw in their other stories right yet. Just glimmers of who they were in those games will show up.

Without further ado, your first tributes.

How will I know if there's a path worth taking?

Should I question every move I make?

With all I've lost, my heart is breaking

I don't wanna make the same mistake

Bright white lights flood my eyes, and I can't see a thing. I hear voices, but it's hard to make out what they're saying. It sounds like they are a few miles away. As time keeps passing the voices keep talking, and soon they become audible. Did I win?

"Her vitals look good again." says the Doctor as he looks at a machine.

"Is she ready to be unplugged?"

I don't hear anything, but I feel them taking out tubes and needles from my arms and head. I hadn't realized this before, but the room was a hospital room, bright yellow and white. Terribly nasty colors- if I do say so myself. When they announce me as Victor, I'll bring it up to Snow. Not the first thing a Victor wants to see on her first time back from the arena.

"Honora?" asked the Doctor.

"Victor Honora." I say as the bright light comes out of my eyes. The hoarseness in my voice was something I wasn't expecting. Why does my throat feel like sandpaper?

They hand me a glass of water as if reading my mind. I chug it down quickly, and hand it to them for another. After three glasses of water, I feel that I am able to talk again.

"What's going on?" I ask. "What happened?"

"Honora you were killed in the 204th Hunger Games by the District 1 male Pollux. You were shot in the head. We brought you back for a special Hunger Games called All-Stars, and you'll compete for the title of Victor again.

"Wait, what?! What's going on?!"

"I'm ready to retrieve the baby." says a blonde lady that walks into the room.

"Don't worry Honora, it'll all make sense soon." says the nurse, as she slides a watch onto my arm, and suddenly I feel it. Traveling back, all the way through my life. I see how I died in the games, I see how I got moved from District 1 to District 4. I saw everythi-

District 4 Female

"Honora, did you seriously just cut Jinx's hair?! It's the first day of your training and all of you decided to lose your minds!"

I sit with my head down in the corner of the room. Jinx's brown hair sits in my hand. I wanted to have some brown hair too. All my sisters have brown hair, and I'm the only one with blonde hair. I want people to know that we are all siblings.

"Mom, it's okay!" says Jinx, "I told her she could."

Mom throws her head back and lets out a small squeal as she ushers Jinx into the bathroom, grabbing a brush and a scrunchie.

"Honora, I told you I didn't have time for this today!" says Mom as she ties Jinx hair up in a pony tail.

I walk over to the dresser and pull out a clip that mommy always puts in her hair. I take Jinx hair, and attach it to my own. Now I look like my sisters. Now people won't get confused.

"MOOOM." I say to retort her getting mad at me. "We were playing beauty shop, and I wanted everyone to know who my sisters were. I'm the only one who has yellow hair and I don't want it!"

Mom pokes her head out from the bathroom. She still has Jinx's hair in her hand, and Jinx gets dragged as she pokes out.

"Oh, sorry Jinx." says Mom as she finishes the ponytail and Jinx runs over to me with the clip. "What's wrong with yellow hair?!" ask Mom. "I have yellow-I mean blonde hair."

"It looks really good." says Jinx as she traces her fingers through my hair. "You're really going to look like your my sissy."

"Yeah!" says Vera as she is still pretending to brush her hair with the imaginary brush, "You look SUPER pretty."

We decided that we were going to wear matching dresses, and Mommy wasn't to keen on buying the same outfit for everyone. She was saying something about outfit copying is social suicide? But we didn't care. Mostly because we don't know what those words mean.

"ARES, ORION, JOSEPH LET'S G-" she stops when she sees Sashen still in her bed with the covers over her head. "SASHEN, HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND! IT'S TIME TO GO!"

"Mommy, I don't want to go to school." she says from under her covers.

Mom runs to the closet and grabs a random dress out of it. She goes to Sashen and picks her up, and we are moving towards the door. It's always this crazy in the morning. Mommy isn't a very organized Mommy.

We get to the minivan and start piling in. I sit next to Vera and Jinx, and Orion sits on the other side of Vera. He smiles because he's very excited to go to school. It's all he's talked about for the past like, year.

"Mom, do we really get to learn today?!" He asks as he sits next to Vera.

"Shut up, Orion." says Ares from the back seat.

"MOMMY SAID THAT'S A BAD WORD!" says Sashen from the the chair next to him.

"You shut up, too, you're just a stupid girl."

"WE'RE RIDING IN SILENCE." says Mommy from the front seat. She puts the car in drive, and she begins to make her way to the school. I don't know how I'm feeling about it. We've met Aunt Iris, Aunt Mackenzie, and Uncle Huck before. We've never met their kids though. Mommy always said it wasn't the right time?

"Mommy?" I ask from the middle seat. She said ride in silence, but Mommy always does what I ask her to do.

"Yes, Honora?" she ask.

"Isn't Ares going to get in trouble for saying shut up twice? I mean, that is a rule."

She sighs from the front seat as she approaches a red light. Ares sits there with his mouth open as stares at me. I turn around and smile at him. I never liked my brother. He's kind of a meany.

"MOM, YOU WEREN'T GOING TO DO ANYTHING UNTIL SHE SAID SOMETHING!" he whines as he starts to thrash and scream from the back seat.

"Could you maybe, you know, STOP KICKING MY SEAT!" screams Vera as she turns to face Ares with rage in her eyes.

"MOM, STOP THE CAR!" screams Jinx.

Mom slams on the thing that makes the car stop, and we all fly forward. Just as she stopped, a car flies by as they run the red light, and Mom looks wide eyed at Jinx as she takes deep breaths.

"How did you know that?" I whisper to her in shock.

"I don't know. Sometimes I just see things." says Jinx as she shrugs.

I grab her hand in mine, and then Vera's in my other one. "That's why we are sisters and friends forever." I say.

"What about Sashen, isn't she your sister too?" asked Ares, tauntingly.

"Mom doesn't Ares still have to be punished?" I ask with a concerned tone.

"Oh, right." she says as she pulls into the school parking lot. "Ares, no television after dinner tonight."

"WHAT?!" he screams as he thrashes himself around in the seat.

"Dude! You just hit me!" says Sashen as she is changing into her school clothes.

"I'M SO MAD!" screams Ares as he reaches up and pulls my brown hair out of my head. I turn around and look at him with slack jaw. Who does my brother think he is? I reach back behind me and slap him in the face.

"You don't mess with a woman's hair, Ares."

"Honora, you lose TV for that as well. No television for either of you."

I drop my jaw in shock. This is the first time I've ever been punished.

"Mom! He pulled out my brown hair." I say as I stomp my feet into the ground.

"You should have let me handle it." says Mom as she opens up the car door and we begin to file out of the car. "Hold hands while crossing the parking lot." she says as we line up in our order. "Chanel, you can do this today." she mutters as she grabs Vera's hand and we begin to walk into our first day of school.

Oh, you

You're vain, your games, you're insecure

You love me, you like her

You made me laugh, you made me cry, I don't know which side to buy

"HERO!" I scream as I thrash and yell. There is a bright light in my eyes, and everything is really fuzzy. I can feel people grabbing on to me, and the more I fight them off the better I hear them.

"He's going to ruin his vitals! We'll have to start over! STOP HIM!"

A new needle goes into my neck, and everything goes blank.

Five Years after the Reawakening

Orion Aquarius, 5

Chanel's Group

District 7 Male

I actually don't want to be here. I know I've pretended to want to, but I don't. I just heard Mommy talking to Aunt Iris one night on one of their nights off. They were drinking that red stuff that taste gross and makes my head feel funny, and they were going on about how we need to pay attention if we want to live past eighteen.

I want to live to be exactly 203 years old.

Walking into the building was a little scary. If this building is going to be the difference between eighteen and 203 years old, I need to be ready for anything that's going to come my way.

I trip over the stairs as we are walking up the front steps. The line let's go of our hands and Sashen helps me up. "Dude," she says, "try not to fall okay? We have a big day ahead of us." she dust off my light blue button down shirt that I picked out because Aunt Mack told me it was her favorite.

We walk down the long hallway, and the first thing I notice is the cameras that line the walls. They are everywhere. From the ceilings, to the walls, and the everywhere else.

"Mommy, why are there cameras everywhere?" ask Vera. Her voice sounds a bit concerned, and she isn't too pleased with it.

"Princess, you're going to be famous." says Mom, she is hustling to a certain room at the end of the hallway. We decide that it's best if we stop talking and just follow.

When we get into the room we are staring at a bunch of children that we've never seen before. Aunt Iris, Aunt Mack, and Uncle Huck are standing at the front with some brown haired lady, and they are all smiling as we walk in.

"Orion, I love your shirt!" says Aunt Mack from the front.

I smile and wave. I'm a little nervous right now. I don't really know what to expect from this. We start to fill in the last six chairs when I realize that either me or Sashen is going to have to stand up. I hurry to the seat and sit down quickly. She looks perplexed and upset, and then Vera scoots over so she can share the seat with her.

"Welcome to your first day of school, children." says the brown haired lady at the front. "My name is Rachel, and I'm President of Panem."

"If your president why are you here at my school?" says a dark haired girl from the front of the room.

"Getting there, Katarina." says Aunt Mack as she gets on to her. Ha, she got in trouble. Katarina. I'll remember her.

"Today I have a really big announcement." says President lady as she smiles at us big. "You'll be going to some called the Hunger Games when you get big!"

"I'm not hungry though?" whispers Vera as she stares at Sashen confused.

"You'll be training here until you graduate at 18. We will throw one big birthday party for you guys, and then you'll go into the arena." says President Lady.

"What's a birthday party?" asked Sashen.

I just shrug my shoulders. I don't know what that is either. Is that like when you're having a party because you birthed something? What does birth even mean.

"Another exciting news is that you'll be on a TV show called tribute watch!" says President Lady, "Today you'll be taking interview videos and pictures for the opening credits. We'll take a new one every year you get bigger." says President Lady. "So line up behind me, and we can start taking pictures!"

Standing in this line is the most boring thing I've ever done. There is like a million of us standing here, and I'm standing behind ARes and that makes it ten times worse.

"Orion, you're so annoying, stop staring at me!" says Ares as he gets his new friends to laugh.

"Yeah, Orion," says a little boy with dark brown hair and a pointy face. "Stop staring. It's annoying."

"I'm sorry, who even are you?" asked Sashen as she grabs my hand, I grip it back, appreciative that she is standing up for me.

"Nickle Parks. I'm from Iris' group."

"You shouldn't be so mean. Especially someone with a stupid name like you. You're named after money." says Sashen as she flips her hair in his face and stares at me. "It's okay, Orion. I will be right here the whole time."

I smile. Sashen and I have always been, what Honora and Ares call, the losers in the family. They tell us that we are super weird all the time. It hurts our feelings.

The line seems to take forever, but after awhile Mommy, and her friends get their shots in and we continue throughout the day. They lead us through the halls and show us how to get to our classes, and explain what we'll be doing in all of them. We make it to the the final door in the hallway, and they all pause.

"What's this room, Daddy?" asked a little girl with yellow hair.

"This is where you'll learn about the Hunger Games, Princess." says Uncle Huck as his face looks sad.

"Uncle Huck, why do you look sad?" I ask.

"Follow me." he says.

We walk into the classroom and they tell us to take our seats. We sit in silence as Mommy, Uncle Huck, Aunt Mack, and Aunt Iris stand at the front of the room.

"We don't want to to lie to you." says Aunt Mack as she stands at the front. Tears are welling up in her eyes as she turns and begins to write on the whiteboard. "Who can read what this says?"

Joseph raises his hands high and proud. He's always been a very smart boy. He taught himself to read.

"Hu-hung-hunger Games." he says sounding out the words.

"Yes, does anyone have any idea what it means though?" asked Aunt Mack.

"I'm still not even hungry." says Vera as she throws her hands up in the air. "Why do we have to make a game out of lunch time?"

"I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING!" says a yellow haired girl in the front of the room. "Daddy always makes me eats my vegatables, and he tries to make it a game then. If it's anything like that, I don't want anything to do with this. No, no, no." says the girl.

"Carmen, let Aunt Mack explain." says Uncle Huck.

Aunt Mack takes a deep breath and then starts to sob. Aunt Iris wraps her in a hug, and then hands her off to Uncle Huck.

"The Hunger Games was a tool used back in the bad times to keep the districts in check." says Aunt Iris, "They would send 24 kids into the arena, and then they would fight until 23 of them are dead."

A gasp fills the room with all of staring at each other.

"Did you say we would be competing in the hungry games, President Lady?" I ask as I notice her standing in the back.

"Hunger Games, Orion." she says, "But yes, yes I did."

"You want us to die?" ask Sashen confused.

"No, I don't. Sometimes things have to happen this way. We are training you to the best of our abilities, and we will do everything we can to make this easy on you."

"We still die though?" ask Vera.

"25 of you will. Yes." says Uncle Huck. Tears forming in his eyes as well.

"You suck, Ms. President Lady." says Katarina, the girl from earlier.

"Katarina, you can't say that." says Aunt Mack.

"What mommy? I said Ms. Like you told me too."

"Let's go ahead and call it a day." says Iris. "This is a lot for them to take in, and I think they'll be more ready if we give them time to process."

The other three agree, and suddenly we are exiting the building that we just got too an hour ago.

"Mommy, why do you want me to die?" says Honora as we are driving in the minivan. Heading back home.

"I don't want you to die, Honora." says Mommy.

"So you want me to die then?" ask Vera confused. "Because she said only one of us is getting out, and-"

"I don't want any of you to die, Vera." says Mommy.

"Then don't make us do it." I say.

"Orion, sweetie," she sas. "I can't do that."

I take a deep breath and try to stop the tears from falling down my face. If this is how it's going to be, then I'm going to win. I refuse to die to someone like Ares. I'll win the Hungry Games, and I'll get President Lady for ever making me do this.\

Well that's the first two tributes! Since Chanel's group has 7 tributes next chapter will have 3 POVS.

Who do you like better? Orion or Honora?

Do you like it's showing the different ages? (I'm not changing my format, lol, but I'm interested on your take?)

Predictions on these two?

Keep it classy,
