The 100th Anual Hunger Games

2.

The video about the hunger games came on and everyone had memorized it by now. Because it was haunting.

While the video was going on i did a little lecture inside my head deciding if i should volunteer if one of my sisters get chosen. Because i can do it only once. And if i do which sister will i do it for? There was a lot of questions floating in  my mind but i let them go as Effie Trinket turned on the machine. She was picking the boys first. What a surprise.

She pressed the button and there was paper flying everywhere inside the little machine. It actually looked like a gumball machine. A little paper came down and Effie took it. She walked towards the microphone and opened the little piece of paper. She took a deep breath and i saw her say :

Tristan Dymond

I looked towards the boys section. There was a boy that looked like my age look at the floor and walk towards the stage. He stopped and looked at what i assumed his brother for help. But a sound didnt come from him so Tristan continued to walk to the stage. He had black hair and brown eyes. He had an injury on his lip and thats when i remembered him.

Tristan and Jose got into a fight at school. When i was trying to seperate them i got elbowed near my eye and it bruised so badly.

If i got picken i was gonna have trouble. He was damn strong.

Effie walked towards the girls and pressed the button. Shortly after a little paper came down. She took it and opened it and said the words crystal clear :

Eileen Hawthorne.

Why didnt i see this comming? I was so busy trying to save my sisters but now who was going to save me? Exactly nobody. I straightened my skirt and walked up to the stage.

"The tributes of Golden Valley." Effie said raising up our hands proudly

Since Katniss and Peeta won she was actually proud to be a part of Golden Valley.

I looked towards Tristan and he just smirked at me.He knew that i was going to be an easy competition because he was definatly stronger than me. The way he punched the shit out of Jose and the way he elbowed me was just unforgettable.

We were lead into a room where we could saw goodbye. I wonder who was choosen from Monte Vista. Since my dad was there. Maybe my father got re-married and had more children and maybe they got chosen. It was just haunting that my father isnt going to know im a tribute until he see's me in the arena on tv.

I watched the Hunger Games and i took some mental notes just incase i got chosen. Now's the time to make them in use.

The door opened and all i saw was Kat and Pey run to me. They drowned me in hugs and their tears. I just couldn't believe that i was going to be ripped apart from them. Maybe even not returning

What do i mean maybe? It was certain i was going to come back. There was still tributes from Monte Vista and other places.

I just cant offer to think of the tributes from Padina (District 1). They had been training for this all their lives and me i've been watching the Hunger Games every year.

I was not ready. If they put me into the arena right now without any training i would be dead at the Bloodbath in Cornucopia. And if i could bet on myself i would actually.

The guards came in and tried to take them away. Katrina gave me a ring i bought her for her 3rd birthday. She had used it since. When the guards came she tossed me the ring and made me swore that i would win. For dad.

The guards swooped them away and i sat there starstrucked. I swore i would win not for her but for dad. But the important thing was he going to watch anyways?

Next the door opened and my mum came. She was so calm with all of this. But it was obvious she had been crying. She pulled me into a bone crushing hug and whispered into my ear.

'Just remember what you promised Katrina. And just remember Jose.'

With those words i was determinded to win. They came and took her away. And just when i thought we were going to go i had another visitor. I knew them right away. Tall and well built. Brown hair and sky blue eyes.

This was my father.

I couldn't stop the tears streaming from my eyes and ran to him. I missed him so much. His scent , his hugs , his everything. My dad was my everything

'H-H-How d-d-did you learn?' I asked him

'Darling i watched.' He said so sweetly

So he did watch. This made all of my insides warm. He did care about me.He did remember me

'Im going to help you in every way possible. If you win im going to take you back to Monte Vista. Just dont tell your mother i came to Golden Valley.' He said trying to smile

I nodded. The guards flew in trying to seperate us. My dad immediatly sticked to me not wanting to let. Neither did i. The eventually stopped our hug and tried to take my dad away.

'You're stronger then them.' He said as the door's closing cut him off

Yay those words were going to haunt me
