*MIAS POV*
In the tube I travel faster than expected so I jump a little as I surface.Which earns a laugh from the man stood next to me. The man next to me who laughed is very tall and muscular he looks very old for 18. A lot of people here are well built and this is probably the highest age total there's been. This would make the games more violent and everyone is a threat.
The arena looks good. It would look better through a TV screen though. Directly in front of me is a forest with bare trees. I notice a thin fog in that area. To the left hand side of me, a grassy area. The grassy area has hills and is filled with different plants and flowers. To the right hand side, mountains. There's a forest also, That's where Im going. The forest. I'm worried that everyone might go there. What if I die? The thought of dying suddenly scares me. I've went through weeks of preparation and this is the first time death entered my head.
Staying alive is my goal. Lucca is stood on the pedestal next to mine. He gives me a nod and smile. I raise my eyebrows to the lake area slightly to the right of me. His eyebrows go together in confusion. I nod. He raises his eyebrows. I nod to reassure him.
The man next to me gives me a smile. It wasn't like Lucca's, a reassuring smile it was a sort of mocking smile. I turn to Lucca again.
'Ladies and Gentlemen. Let the 125th Hunger Games... BEGIN!' the president shouts through the speaker.
The klakson sounds. The man next to me is off his before I realize what just happened. I jolt back and forth a few times. Where do i go? I'm losing all my thoughts. I remember what my mentor told me 'Run and don't stop. Run till you put a safe distance between you and the others. Then find shelter.' Luca is already running towards the lake. I make a deadly choice. I run towards the cornucopia. I run to my death.
(Let me know if you liked it. I got the idea yesterday so I decided to write the first chapter. don't worry if you don't know who got picked as I will go into more detail later and I think it would be better if I started at the beginning of the games not the reapings. So let me know if it was good, what needs to improve and any ideas you have.)
