Never ending story
A/N
Hello. This is chapter 3 of my Never ending story. There will be parts that follow the film. I do not own these characters. That's it. I hope you enjoy it.
Chapter 3
"Primrose Everdeen", a lady in a silly costume, announced this year's female tribute. We were re-watching the Reaping footage when suddenly a commotion inside district 12 caught my eye. A girl around my age began to fight Peacekeepers , obviously trying to save the little girl.
Well, you're not gonna save her unless you volunteer which is really rare and also dumb so you should stop fighti
"I volunteer", she said, surprising everyone present including me. "I volunteer. "I volunteer as a tribute", she announced as she stood tall and brave under the burning gaze of her fellow citizens. She didn't hesitate. She didn't even regret it. A relief that washed over her face once she was called onto the stage told me everything. She is ready to die for this little girl. Sister perhaps?
"District's twelve very first volunteer.", a lady in a silly costume continued trying and failing to entertain the public.
"Come on dear", she added. The volunteer girl looked scared and shocked by the fact she is probably going to die. She climbed onto the stage where she was positioned in the centre of it.
"What's your name?"The question I've been waiting for all along. Even though I would never admit it, I must say that I was impressed by the stupidity and bravery of this girl.
"Katniss Everdeen". Katniss. I like it.
"Well I bet my hat that was your sister, wasn't it?", ghost Casper continued annoying me and all the people present. Seriously, how many brain cells do you need to have to figure this out. Two, three?
"Yes", Katniss whispered, her voice cracking suddenly becoming more vulnerable than before.
I turned off the TV.
"Hey what was that for?", an annoying blonde brute and also my district partner Cato asked me. I wasn't in a mood to fight so I just ignored him and went to my room on the train. I plopped into my bed. I tried getting Katniss out of my head but to no avail. I'm not falling for this idiot.
Next morning we arrived at the Capitol. It did look grandiose and welcoming but deep down, I knew it wasn't. People cheered on us and even my mentor Enobaria smiled. Well smiled, more like growled at the Capitol people.
We got off the train to get into the building where all the interviews and training will be held.
Because we are a career district, we have bigger rooms. It's nice here. I could almost learn to love this place. Almost.
"Listen Clove", my district partner Cato started talking once we were seated in the living room. "We must win this thing. I don't care if I have to slit your throat in order for you to take this are not losing this Games."
I rolled my eyes at his commanding voice. "Ken", I started talking when Cato interrupted me saying that his name is Cato.
"Look Cato I don't care honestly. There's no way on God's green earth we're losing this thing. Relax." He didn't look relieved but at least he finally shut up.
"I'm going to the roof don't do anything stupid", I said taking only my jacket with me. I heard him mutter something like "As if" or "You'd be the first one to know". I can't wait to kill him off.
