Who I Am ~ Hunger Games; Bajancanadian AU

Chapter 1: Meet me

(Picture on the side is what I imagine Amber to look like. Btw it's Chloë Montrez. And she DOES have green eyes, so she sorta matches what I describe Amber to look like. Oh and P.S, even though this was only a few months ago, my writing is pretty terrible in this chapter, I promise it'll get better!)

Hi. My name is Amber Woods, sister of Jerome Aciti. Don't ask why we have different last names, my last name comes from our father and his last name comes from our mother. I have green eyes, and brown hair. Pretty typical, if I do say so myself. I'm currently 18 years old, the last year possible for me to enter the hunger games.

I'm almost positive everyone knows about the hunger games, but if not, in Panem, twelve districts select one female and one male citizen between the ages 12-18 to fight to the death in an arena. They first did it because of honouring the war of Panem where district 13 rebelled and got annihilated. Or something like that. This time it's the forth quarter quell (100th hunger games) which is pretty important to the capital. Now they do it for entertainment.

Yup, you heard me right, entertainment.

I'm from district 4, the swimming distict....People call me the slayer, they hate me, they think I'm a murderer because I have, well as they say, "exceptional" fighting skills. I mean I can fight, but that's basically all there is to me. I have a good heart, well that's what my best friend Mitch says.

I've made a couple of really bad mistakes in my life, but here in my world, being in district 4, a career district, one little mishap can change a lot. Now, after one of my mishaps, which I will explain what happened later, every time I walk done the streets, they look at me with looks. Frightened and dirty looks, looks that make my heart feel twisted and destroyed. I can just see it in their eyes.... They really do fear me.

Let me tell you about my past and how I got to here to this very moment.... My parents got murdered by the capital when I was really young, so I don't really remember much about then, oh how I wish I do.... Ever since then my brother, Jerome, has been taking care of me, well him and his best friend Mitch did. But one day that all changed.... Infrount of my very eyes, I watched Jerome, being dragged away by some Capital people.... I haven't even seen him since I was 12...now I'm 18.

You know what the worst part of this little story is? I bet you that you don't. Mitch and I don't even know if Jerome is ALIVE! He could be dead, murderd, killed and I didn't even know what happened to him. My own brother...dead and I don't know it. Life is cruel, as he had said. It sure is.

I can tell you by gut feeling that something bad is going to happen today...what am I saying? Of course something bad is going to happen today! Today is reaping day.... The day were the capital choses two innocent people of each district, a girl and a boy, to fight to death.
