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.
