Foxface's Story

Chapter 1

Hey guys! So this is my fan-fic about Foxface during her time in the Hunger Games! Enjoy! :)

I didn't want to go. But I had no other choice. It was either me or my family.

When the day of the reaping came around I knew what to expect. I would get up and pretend that everything was normal and alright. But it wasn't. I was about to go into the 74th annual Hunger Games. I wasn't going to volunteer but that didn't matter. It was already decided that I would go in. You see, a few months ago my family got into trouble. We were all caught stealing from the bakery. Usually it's only me that goes in and steals and no-one ever notices because I have the ability to be sly and elusive. The time we got caught my whole family was there because there was a massive hunger famine and we had to steal enough for our neighbours and friends as well. We got caught as we made some noise and the peacekeepers came and took us. They took us to the hall of justice where we were told we had to options. Stealing in District 5 is a major offence the options were terrible. The first one was to send our whole family to the power factory and make us work there for the rest of our lives. We would never see the sun again. The second option wasn't any better. One of the children would have to go into the next Hunger Games. Seeing as my brother was only 7 it left me. Me, Abigail, the girl with red hair from a poor family in district 5.

My parents said absolutely not. They weren't going to send me into the Hunger Games. That left us with being sent to the power factory.

After a few weeks I'd had it. I couldn't let my family go into the power factory. I went to the hall of justice and talked to the peacekeepers. It was decided that I would go into the Hunger games. After that I went home but I decided not to tell my parents as it would only upset them and cause trouble.

All too soon the day reaping came. "Abigail," my mum called. "Come and get ready." Grudgingly I got out of bed and got ready for the reaping.

When we got to the square, where the reaping was being held, my mother and father turned to me. "You don't need to feel bad," they said. "We made this decision and we will get through it." I nodded and swallowed hard. They gave me a smile and walked off. I turned to my brother, Alex. "I'm going into the games," I said.

"Wha-what?" He replied

"Just listen," I said. "I changed it so that I am going into the games instead of us going to the factory to work. You know that I love you and I so badly want to stay with you it hurts but I have to do this."

"Okay foxy," he said using my nickname he gave me. "You can win you know, all your stealing will help that."

I nodded and gave him a hug which he returned.

"Bye Alex."

"Bye foxy."

With that I turned and walked away with tears in my eyes.

Hope you liked that!! :D

Please vote or leave a comment as that would really help me out :)
Oh and I know that the chapter was really short but they do get longer after about chapter 15ish I think :)

*Okay this is an edit from 2016 so about 3 years (ohmygod)  after I published this. My writing at the beginning isn't the best but it does get better (or at least I think so hahah). This story has taken a very long time and there have been long long periods of no writing which you can probably tell from the way the writing style changes. I will edit this all properly once the story is completed but for the moment just bear with the not so great writing at the beginning to the slightly better writing as the story evolves. (Not entirely sure why I thought putting this here was necessary but oh well.)
I'll stop my rambling and you can just read on with the story! :) *
