HG X UNDERTALE AU ~ THE GAMES [OLD FANFIC]

PART 1 ~ VI : AUDITIONS

Ink P.o.V

All 22 tributes were lined up against the wall, waiting for their turn. I had seen the careers (Districts 1, 2 and 4) all before me, they seemed proud about their performance and walked with grace. The only person who seemed uneasy was the girl from District 5, sobbing on her way to the elevator. Maybe it was all part of the plan?

"Trevor from District 6, please come to the evaluation room. Thank you."

The intercom said. The boy with curly hair, amber eyes and a pretty strong build stood up and made his way through the huge, black doors.

"Ink..."

I could hear someone call me but I was too preoccupied about thinking of home, the one thing important in my life, and that is-

"Ink!"

I jumped, startled then gave him a 'why must you do this' look (or at least tried to). "What was that for?!"

"You weren't listening."

"What do you want now? More cuddles?"

"No, we can do that later. I never got what you actually wanted to do for tonight."

I took my time to formulate then whispered.

"We shouldn't tell anyone. We're not allowed."

"So you'll just tell me?"

"Yeah. I was planning on doing blind axe throwing."

He did not seem to enjoy the combination of those words.

"Nora from District 6, please come to the evaluation room. Thank you." 'Wow, another one done in this short amount of time-'

I thought to myself, clutching the scarf around my neck. Today I decided to wear it since I'd like to have some charm, comforting and reminding me of home. While they graded her performance, I wanted to finish up with Reaper.

"Are you crazy?!"

Everything sped up again.

"Nope. I'll only be aiming at a target near the end of the room. What will you do?"

"First of all, promise not to do anything involving the judges. Once, they gave this girl a two for having thrown a knife at their glass, making it shatter and ruining the papers. Of course it's a rumor because we don't actually know but let's say she didn't receive sponsor money." "Don't worry, I don't have any malicious things planned."

"Good, be careful Ink."

As he said that, my name was called. I felt myself shaking for once, I've never done this in my life so I panicked. The doors were opened and I looked back at Reaper who was spaced out, staring at something on the wall.

"Welcome. You have two minutes to show us what you can do."

"Okay."

"Take your time. To your request, we've brought everything you needed, three throwing axes, a blindfold and an apple."

I took the apple and walked over to the target before putting it right on top, barely standing. When I was back at the beginning, I noticed a judge eating some pastry, not paying attention. Eh, it was fine, it always happens according to others.

I slowly wrapped my head with the black bandage, obstructing my view. I still heard that one guy laugh at others. Raising my weapon in the air, not discovering where to throw, I let it go with force then heard a slicing noise. Once I took off the wrap, I smiled knowing it had hit the perfect center but one thing kept bothering me...
