Chapter 11 ~ Trackers Hurt

It's 6 in the morning again. I have a habit of getting up early. I put on my outfit for the games today. There is pants and a T-Shirt. The shirt is brown and the pants are a navy green. I walk out into the living room. Quinn is already up. Dean comes out of his room a few minutes after. Quinn tells us we are not allowed to eat, which is a dumb rule, but I am still full from the other night. I guess the not eating rule does make sense though, speaking that it is the Hunger Games.

We take the elevator up to the top of this skyscraper where there is a hovercraft. "Good luck to you guys, and be sure to take Joseph's advice. It's very important." says Quinn. Me and Dean step into the hovercraft and sit down. Only a hovercraft fly away, and we will be at the arena. We wait and some peacekeepers come around with what looks like a gun. "Arm." she says. I see what she's doing. She is putting trackers in our arms so the Gamemakers know where we are and if we died or not. She comes over to me. "Arm." she says. I give it to her. It can't hurt that ba- OUCH! I don't scream but it pinches, so I just shut my eyelids. I see a little blue orb go from the gun into my forearm, then it disappears. I could pick it out, but who would want to sit there and dig out their flesh just for a tracker? Besides, there is cameras everywhere in the arena so the Gamemakers could probably see what your doing, all the time.

Peacekeepers lead me off the hovercraft and into a small room. Here stands Dinah, with a jacket. "Here, Finch." she puts the coat on me. I look in the mirror. I have my boots, pants, shirt, jacket and my 2 side buns on. I got this...I think. "You're be okay." she says. 30 seconds remaining. "Step into the pedestal." she says. I go forward. Here I go, this is it. A little glass wall goes around me so I can't escape. Don't step off the pedestal early. I think. Don't run for the Cornucopia. I hear a small click and I start rising up. My heart is beating fast. I'm scared.

I am now In The Hunger Games.
