The Doctor's Hunger Games

Chapter 1

Hey guys! New story :) I really liked the idea of the Hunger Games and Doctor Who mixing in a story. although I'm not sure how well it will turn out. Comment and tell me if you like it! The first bit of the story is in 1st person, alternating between Shila and John, then into 3rd person. But don't worry about that transfer, I'll tell you when :) The Doctor Whoiness doesn't really come out until later in the story...

Shila

I'm Shila Thorn. I'm 16 and my home is District 14. Even though I live in the wealthier part of the district, I don't get out of the Hunger Games. I don't like the Hunger Games very much. I just don't see how the people of the Capitol can get so much entertainment out of watching us die.

John

I'm John Smith. I'm 18 years old and I live in District 14. I live in the poorer part of the district and my family and I just scrape by. I could earn enough for my family to live in the wealthier part of the district, but my father is ill and I have to look after him all day. I don't get the Hunger Games. I don't see how the Games are a reminder of the Dark Days and the revolution. It's more like they've become just entertainment for the people of the Capitol.

Shila

I wake up to the sound of shuffling feet on the dirt roads and the smell of my mothers cooking. I sit up and stretch, realizing what day it was. The day of the reaping. As I got up, I saw that my mother had laid out some clothes for me, for the reaping. I walk in to our little bathroom and wash my face, then ate the food that was on a tray beside my bed. I ran a bath for myself, then hopped in, spending a little longer in the tub than I usually would, as the reaping wasn't until 2. I got out of the tub and dried myself off, then got dressed into the clothes on the end of my bed. I dried my hair and waited for my mother, who was to do my hair.

John

I wake up to the bright sunlight shining in my window, welcoming a new day. I sat up on my small, single mattress, stretching to rid myself of the pain that was present in my back. Only then did I realize that it was the day of the reaping and I didn't have to get up as early. I got up anyway and ran a bath for myself. When I got out, I saw that my mother had laid out reaping clothes on my bed. I got changed and picked up the tweed jacket, not needing to put it on yet. I noticed that beside my bed was a small bowl, filled with grain and a slice of bread. I ate it, then went to check on my father.

Shila

I was standing in the town square with all the other 16 year old girls, waiting for the rest of the district to arrive. There was a stage set up in front of the Justice Building, with a microphone sitting in the middle and two large glass balls sitting on either side. There were also five chairs set up at the back. Two for the mayor and his wife - his daughter was 17, even she didn't get out of having to go, - one for Sayer, the district's escort and District 14's mentors, Melody and Craig. District 14 has a few mentors, but Melody won her games two years ago and Craig only last year, so they were chosen to be mentors for this year.

There were quite a few 16 year old girls. Most wore beautiful dresses, but some wore their everyday clothes, because they couldn't afford anything else. I wore a beautiful green dress that brought out my eyes and matching shoes. My best friend Madge wore a pretty white dress, with flowers embroided into the skirt. District 14's specialty is mining coal, we share that with District 12, which is why the kids who were wearing their working clothes had black dust all over them.
