the
Witty
Hunger Games
day 1. after the
reaping.
District 12's tribute
Felix's P.O.V.
I didn't believe this. I was
going into the arena, while my little sister was dying home
alone. I couldn't do anything about it. No one volunteered to
take my place, so they wisked me and my fellow tribute into
custody, and here we sat. It was weird, honestly. Just sitting in
this small room alone. Waiting for a visitor who would never
come. I had no one, besides my sister, but she wouldn't be
coming. She's probably home crying her soft blue eyes out,
wondering how she'll survive.
"You'll survive,
Saydan, I don't know how, but I promise you
will."
I said it so softly, I couldn't
reconize my own voice which had once been so fierce. While I was
drowning in my thoughts, I hadn't noticed the door had
opened, and there sat a dark figure of a man. I couldn't make
out who it was, and so I stared at the rain splattered window far
in the corner. That is, until the man broke the
silence.
'You know, Felix, I could help
Saydan."
I turned to face him,
"Addix?" I cried. Addix
was my best friend the year before, we stopped after he blamed me
for his sister's disappearance.
he nodded.
"you couldn't help her.
Only I could. I was dumb enough to take a chance in the tesserae
this year,"
"You were trying to get food
for her. You did the right thing,"
"No I didn't. The right
thing would have been to stay away from tesserae, and volunteer
to take her place."
"You couldn't take her
place," Addix pointed out. " it's okay though,
I'll help her out." He smiled his half crooked smile,
got up and turned to go. "Good luck. I'll be rooting for
you and Emory. Team up if you can," and with that he was
escorted out the door, which left me to collect my thoughts in
the darkness.
District 1's tribute
Caleigh's P.O.V.
"Year of the careers!" I
shouted to my boyfriend, Cade. "I'm going to win
this!"
He smiled. "Okay, but
don't get ahead of yourself, Caleigh."
"No promises!" I shouted.
"No one's as good as Caleigh!"
He sighed. "You're right.
No one could ever compare to you," he kissed
me.
He leaned over my shoulder, and
said
"Please come home to me,
please don't leave me."
I looked up at Cade's pleading
brown eyes, and calmly, in a hushed voice I said
"Year of the careers,
baby."
and just like that, Cade excused
himself, and walked out of the room.
I'm going to win
this.
District 5's tribute
Danielle's P.O.V.
I was so freaked out I couldn't
hear myself think, what was I going to do?
"I mean, district 5 can team
with the careers, or I can go off by myself. Which would be
safer?" I asked my friends Ky and Fanah.
Ky shurugged. "Personally, I
say grab whatever weapons seem less popular, and
run."
"Seems like the best
idea," Fanah croaked. "It's what I would
do."
I nodded. "Yeah, I guess. but
maybe it wont be so bad this year, maybe all the tributes are
twelve."
"They could be, but
there's a huge chance they wont be, you know that."
Fanah said.
Ky nodded in
agreement.
"Hey, do you know if my Mother
is coming?" I asked, hoping she would swollow our
differences and come say goodbye.
Ky shook her head. "No, I ran
into her on the way here. She's not."
I dropped my shoulders. "Oh,
well I guess you should get going,"
They nodded and walk out the
door.
