Game of the Labyrinth: the labirinthine games [Completed]

Chapter 1 Oriel

The streets of district 2 shone as a brown haired girl ran through them, she stopped in front of a small White House and knocked twice. The door opened and she ran in.
"Oh my god"  Oriel yelled, the girl In front of her was a tall, skinny girl with green eyes and a ponytail and her hair was wet but it was purple! "What happened Steph?" Oriel asked. "I dyed it, Oriel it is not that bad is it?" she replied nervously. "No" Oriel said "I was just surprised" she said in shock."Come on in" said Steph. Oriel stepped in Steph lead her to her room, it was a small room with a single bed a desk and a chair. Steph walked to her closet and pulled out a blue dress, "The reaping is today you know" said Steph laying the dress out on her bed. " Yeah I feel bad for the people who needed supplies and now have their names in the bowls more than once" said Oriel kicking at the ground. "The reaping is starting at twelve and its ten now so we could go wander around" Steph said smoothing out the wrinkles in her dress. They walk out of Steph's house and start towards the fence. District 2 has a forest surrounding it until the train tracks that lead to the Capitol. District 2 isn't poor but district 22 is the most respected by the Capitol.
District one does the luxury, district 2 does masonry , district 3 does technology, district 4 does fishing, district 5 does power, district 6 does transportation, district 7 does lumber, district 8 does textiles, district 9 does grain, district 10 does livestock, district 11 does agriculture district 12 does mining, district 13 does graphite and nuclear, district 14 does space exploration, district 15 does Capitol needs such a make up, district 16 does water purification, district 17 does plastics, district 18 does medical, district 19 does preservable food, district 20 fighting goods, district 21 does labyrinthine training ,district 22 does governmental decisions.
Once they reach the fence we walk along side it until we reached a small gap we crawled through and came out in the woods after we exited we walked towards the maze wall it was covered in ivy and looked like part of the forest if you din't get near it we reached a spot near the biggest oak and stared at the ladder we had constructed it climbed at the least 15 feet up we started climbing soon we reached a platform just above the leaf line when we stood on it we could see all of district 2 the gray stone buildings went as far as the eye could see the whole district. The square was clean and shining a stage had been erected and two huge clear glass bowls sat on two stone pedestals. Even from here we could see the bowl were filled with white slips of paper. These were the names of children from 12 to 18 who had entered their names for the labyrinthine games. Oriel looked around and saw Steph opening a box. The box is wodden with a leather strap holding it together on the left and right sides. Oriel crouches down beside Steph and pulls her hair into a pony tail. Steph carefully opens the box and let's the lid rest on the leather straps, inside the box there sits two bracelets both made from leather but attached with a faded bronze plate. On the metal a small symbol for a maze is carved and on the other side there is the number two. "I found the metal while hunting and the leather from a shop, I hope you like them." Steph says handing Oriel the bracelet with the slightly darker leather band. "They're beautiful" Oriel replies giving Steph a hug. "We'll wear them during the reaping and in the games if we are chosen" Steph says closing the box and tucking it safely back in the nook in the tree. Oriel and Steph look over district two deep in thought, there interrupted by a familiar voice, Steph! Oriel! Get down here" yells Paxton. "Coming" yells Steph. They descend the ladder two rungs at a time and Steph jumps down once there's three rungs below her Steph lands on her feet and stands up walking toward Paxton. Then Oriel jumps landing on her feet but stumbling when she gets up. "The reaping is in twenty minutes, thought I might need to remind you. Good thing I did you guys were just staring off into space!" He said walking towards the district. Paxton is Steph's neighbour but he acts like a brother and helps her when her mother and father are busy working. Oriel lives with her just her father  because her mother died while working in the factories. They walk along the fence until they reach the small opening, Steph shimmies under the knotted metal they Oriel slides under feet first then Paxton who goes head first but has some slight trouble getting through because of his broad shoulders he manages to pull himself up and out. Then they keep walking.
    They got to the dirt road where all the factories are located a truck with tinted windows drive by the trio spitting dust up in their faces "I guess they need extra surveillance for the reaping " Says Oriel frowning and fanning the dust from her face. "Yeah, I guess for the Capitol visitors and the camera equipment" Says Paxton shielding his eyes from the dust that clouds our vision. They walk along the road until they reach a small intersection. They turn onto a small narrow path on their left which leads to a row of houses, all houses are in pour condition with holes in the walls, roofs and floors some with no windows or doors just a curtain or a small space in the wood. They come to a smaller path that anyone who did't know their way around the neighbourhood would have missed because of the vines and leaves covering the trail. They come out on to a road that is slightly nicer and defiantly has more wealth. Steph's family can afford one of the nicer houses because the share it with Paxton's family the house is split in half but still the same building. Oriel's family can afford her's because her father is the person in charge at one of the factories and Oriel does some work aswell for him. " Bye Oriel see ya at the reaping" Steph says her hand on the door knob "see ya" Oriel responds walking down the street towards her own house.
    Steph closes the door behind her and kick of her boots leaving them in the entrance. She walks into the kitchen to find her mother washing the some dishes. She walks out of the kitchen towards a door. Inside is a small staircase leading towards the attic where her room is. The stairs creek with every step she takes so she runs up the stairs taking two at a time to create less noise. She walks towards her bed. On the top shelf lies a simple blue dress. Steph pulls the dress down from shelf and pulls it on, she looks in the small mirror she has trying to see how it looks. She brushes out her hair and leaves and elastic around her wrist for later. She sits beside her bed and reaches for something underneath it. She pulls out a pair of slip on shoes that were originally white but have faded and are now more of a light pink. Steph walks down the stairs and into the kitchen where her mother has just finished putting away the last dish. " Mom,? Can you put my hair in a fish tail?... For the reaping" Steph asks handing her the hair brush. Her mother smiles and takes the hair brush in her hand. "Elastic please" her mother asks when she finishes the fish tail. "Thank you" Steph says with a smile in the mirror. "Are you nervous?" asks her mother tucking her long black hair in a pony tail "Yes" says Steph looking down " you'll be fine this is the second year you and Oriel have be entered in that bowl and neither one of you have a tessera" her mother says reassuringly.
    Steph walks out of her house towards Oriel who was adjusting her bracelet to her wrist, "hi, you ready?" Says Steph admiring her nice silver grey dress and black flats Yeah, I guess" she sounded much more confident then steph they walk to town square which was filled with people and the Capitol representative sits on a chair talking to our mayor. Parents aren't invited to reapings because the Capitol finds it a waste of their working time. Theirs friends wishing each other luck, sisters and brothers saying goodbye of if their confident see you soon. The mayor stands up and begins his speech which Steph barely listen to only catching a few words, here we........ Dark days... For a...... Thank you. Steph return to reality and listen to the representative's high heels click against the stage "Ladies first!" She says in a squeaky voice. Her pale hand dives into the bowl and picks out two names Steph holds her breath as she unfolds them " Stephanie Marllow!" Steph stares in shock, "no it can't" she mutters a the girls clear a path for Steph to follow. She takes a step and looks at Oriel who looks like she's fighting back tears, "Stephanie come on" says the representative beckoning her to come over to the stage. Steph walks on the stage and sits on a chair near the girls side. She representative reads the next name as Steph searches the group of boys for Paxton she was lost her train of thought that she almost jumped at the next name... "Oriel Summer!"
