The Mating Games

by destinyhutcherson

And so it was agreed that instead of the Hunger Games, there will be the Mating Games. Ok. So this book is based on the hunger games if you haven't already noticed. It will be about what happens after peeta says to katniss - "you love me. real or not real?" So don't comment - 'but in the epilogue it said...' coz my story is about what happened before that.

4. Chapter 4 - Distractions

And here we are once again. I am walking into my waiting room where Haymitch is waiting for me. As I walk in he says, "Hey there sweetheart." I smile and hug him. "I don't know what's going to happen Haymitch. I mean, this year, they're throwing in weapons so we can kill people who stand in our way." I tell him as I back away. "You're worried about getting killed?" Haymitch asks. "No. I'm worried about Peeta getting killed." I say. "Oh?" Haymitch starts. "Have the love birds re-united once again?" He laughs as he waves his hands around. "Shhh!" I say laughing. "Thank you for everything Haymitch" I say this because if I mate with Peeta and we get sent to a different district, I'll never see Haymitch again and I'll never get to thank him. "You're welcome." He says. I hear the voice of someone saying "10 second 'till launch". I hop in my tube after giving Haymitch one last hug.

The tube rises up and out and it takes a few seconds for my eyes to adjust and then I see the woods and the cornucopia. I look around for Peeta but he is a bit far from me. He says something to me but I don't know what. I hear the gong sound and I run towards the cornucopia and grab a bow and arrow. I also grab a michete for Peeta as he grabs the supplies we need. We both meet and he hands me a backpack as I hand him his sword.

We both run into the woods and settle down after running for a half hour. It's getting a bit dark. I hear a rustle in the leaves. "What was that?" I ask Peeta. "I don't know." He says confused. We both get our weapons ready as we see Cato expose himself to us. "Hey baby." He says to me. "What?" I ask. But it's too late. Peeta has already tackled Cato to the ground and started punching him. He almost kills Cato my stabbing him but Cato escaped Peeta's grip and took off into the woods.

"This is no different from the Hunger Games." I tell Peeta. We get up and continue walking. Just then, we hear screams. Once again we get our weapons ready. Then we realise what has happened. All it was, was the girl from 11 and the boy from 1. Having sex. Right there in the middle of the woods like they're the only two people in the world. I look at Peeta and slap his ass. "Cheer up. We'll get to the fun part soon."
