A/N: hi. idk. you should probably read this. then vote for it. yea. mkay.

Jessie Lawlor POV (District Four)

Here we go. Pretty, nice face I am. Everything I'm not. I mean, duh I'm pretty, but nice, maybe not.

The kid next to me, Cameron, is smiling confidently and enthusiastically. I don't bother talking to him, he is a threat to me. He looks strong, and, he is choosing the same tactics to win the games, strong and silent, but cunning and almost, cold hearted. Therefore I don't like him. But it is probably a façade, he is probably a scared little boy behind that smile.

But his smiling is almost winning me over, so when we are in the games, and I'm standing on top of him with dagger in hand, I'll make sure to swipe at his mouth first.

I am almost blinded by the beaming lights that blear in my eyes. The doors have just opened and the roar of the Capitol is deafening.

Our costumes are sure to make talk in the Capitol, I wearing a sailors outfit, but about ten times more extravagant. I have sparkles and demonetise everywhere on me. As atrocious and tacky as it looks, It'll win those purple haired freaks over and in no time at all, I'll be in the confines of the Victors Village. 

Our carriage starts to move and I see the freaks in the crowd pointing at us, I wave and make sure I make direct eye contact with them to make them feel special, each time I do, I know for sure that that will lead to a sponsor.

May as well crown me now, I've got this in the bag.

Trixie Tane POV (Distrct Three)

This moment could not get anymore perfect.

I have the love of my life standing next to me, in hardly any clothes mind you, cameras are put right in our faces and people are looking at us. This is so awkwardly romantic.

I wouldn't really wear this for my first date though, a big head piece that looks like cogs stacked on one another. I am made to look like a robot I guess. I have wires sticking out of me and a wind up handle at the back. Declan is the same, just with no top on which I find, delicious.

He looks at me with a smile, he is totally into me. It's just a matter of who will make the first move I guess. People are throwing roses at us. Declan catches one and hands it to me.

My mind goes crazy and my stomach fills up with butterflies and it is just instant, that I connect my lips with him.

The capitol go crazy, I have never heard anything as loud as this before. People are chanting our names.

But the odd thing is, he doesn't seem to kiss me back, in fact he pushes me away and I almost stumble of the carriage.

I look around in embarrassment, the boy from four, Cameron, stares at us laughing. Then I realise, I probably have just made the biggest fool of myself in front of the country.

Levi Horps POV (District Eight)

I wave and smile, as I hear a few people cheer my name, but there isn't enough. I want this whole crowd saying my name.

The girl Jemima, is doing freaking nothing. She is literally just standing there. I don't know why I feel annoyed about her but I just want to get my hands around her throat and make her do something. I will add her to the list inside my brain of people I want dead. So far I have, Xander from Ten, for talking back to me. Florence from Eleven, for "accidently" stepping on my toe before, she so meant it. Then there is all the careers, because they think there all high and mighty and could end there lives with my fingernails before they have time to make the slightest escape plan. And now, Jemima is on it.

I actually can't wait for the arena, it is going to be so much fun. Especially the bloodbath, watching peoples bodies drop like dominos will be thrilling.

Hang on, people aren't saying my name any more, and I can't quite make out what they are saying so I look on the big screen and see the two from Three making out. No, I have to do something to get the attention back on me, but what?

I jump out of the carriage and onto the back of one of the horses pulling us along. Everyone is sure to be watching me now. I sit on it as if I was riding it, but the horse freaks out, and bucks, launching its self into the air and pummelling backwards back onto the carriage. My head feels harsh, it must have hit something, but when I feel the force of the carriage behind us hitting ours, the pressure is hard and I role on the floor of our carriage. The carriage has stopped, or slowed down I can't feel anything, but I do know that what I have done has not only influenced us, but ever other district behind us.

Isobel Satten POV (District Nine)

Our carriage is going along perfectly. Me and Oliver have bonded quite well so this experience isn't to awkward. We wave and smile to the people of the Capitol who look like savage animals screaming at us. It's quite intimidating. I look over at Oliver, he is doing the same thing, that means we have both listened to our escort and mentor.

Our escort, Pete, its brilliant, I couldn't have picked a more genuine and nice guy to help me along this journey. He seems to be the only one that understands my grief, and sadness, he is almost like a secondary father to Oliver and I.

I decided to team with Oliver in the games, if we could get one other person to ally with us that'd be great, because we need a team of three, and would give as more of a running chance in the games. Sadly, I don't think Oliver can win the games. He couldn't hurt a fly and doesn't know the first thing about athleticism. He is going to need to do a lot of running in the games, so I don't think he will go far. But there is always the slightest chance, because he knows everything, of everything. If he lost his legs he could invent fake legs make out of sticks. He is a genius.

Oliver taps me on the shoulder is horror and confusion, when he gets my attention, I understand why he looks so scared, and suddenly I am too.

Our carriage is about to hit the carriage in front of ours. The District Eight carriage has completely stopped and the high speed we are going at, this crash might be vital.

"Quick!" Oliver shouts. He is climbing over the carriage and is standing on the back of it. I follow and am too standing on the back. I don't know what this will do but Oliver is smart. 

"Okay this is the plan, when we hit the carriage in front, jump straight back up onto our carriage so we don't get squashed but the ones from District Ten.

I definitely feel it when we hit the District Nine carriage. It feels like a jolt through my body. Now I need to climb back over. I do it with ease, but Oliver not so much. He is stressing out and can't get back over.

I give him my hand and he grabs it, I pull him up just before the District Ten guys hit us. When they do it sends me flying and I land on the ground.

The capitol are booing and screaming at us.

I need to find out who is responsible for this, so they can pay!
