Sue Versatiles

is a simple girl from a simple District,yet she has been treated unfairly and has been living in a house full of despair corrupting her emotions.

There has been only one hope that kept her up on her feet who so happens to be her big brother,Jason,who also suffered from the same contagious despair.He never once turned his back on Sue.Which makes her feel less despair and pain.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"One last touch to your make up."

Sue's stylist ,Merrick, applying a light shade of red lipstick onto my semi dried lips.She has been dressed in a simple lilac colored dress with ruffles all around it.The color reminded herself of how she use to be before all those beatings from father.Sue used to be very cheery and joyous until the death of mother.

After the final touches to her make up.Two peacekeepers then fetched her to be escorted down a long hallway that leads to the back of the stage.

This is her final chance to prove that she will strive to the top.She thought to herself

After the peacekeepers left, she entered a long room which contained a row of twenty four black leathered chairs.Some tributes were already seated while others were arriving shortly.Sue then takes her seat next to Rue ,her partner, they were both in simple dresses the only differences were the colors;she comes to think that she is similar to Rue in some ways.They were both young,had brothers in the games and they both came from a dark past.She takes one last look at her very calm partner.Maybe she should act composed and collected as well.These are the games for christ sake Sue can't let the emotions get to her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Sue Versatiles."A peacekeeper called for her.It was time for her interview.

'Lets do this, conceal don't feel don't let them know.'

As she walks up the stairs the mask of confidence has been equipped.Upon stepping foot on the stage she is greeted by the roars of the crowd.The Capitol looks like a rainbow,ladies and gentlemen and different ages from young to old crowded the audience.Walking across the stage the host Mercutio greeted her sweetly.

After being seated down and the roars dying down.She takes the time to observe Mercutio.He is wearing a fancy light gray suit with a black tie.Mercutio seems to be a unique character with his pink hair and lightly tanned skin.On television he is always seen with black trimmed glasses, stands at a height of 5'9, and he also has as slim body.

She can also observe that he too has a mask,but not a mask similar to hers.It was a mask of joy.He always smiles whole heartedly,but on the flip side is a sad man.Being tortured to do the Presidents bidding.Mercutio then gives her a forced smile.

"Welcome Sue." He greets her again.

"Pleasure to be here."

Giving him a quirky smile.The girl sat there innocently waiting for the next step.Mercutio speaks up "Well,Lets get started shall we?" She smiles and gives him a nod.

"I will simply ask you six quick questions.Are you ready?" 

"When will I ever be ready."She chuckles.Preparing her mental wall. "Alright my First question,Do you think you are capable of winning this years games?"Sue stares at him and opens her mouth and replies.

"Of course I could."He nods at that.Logically every tribute would answer with a yes.Being pleased with her answer Mercutio sits up straight and his voice came out again to ask another question.

"What is your weapon?"Sue scoffs at how simple that question is.She confidently replies "My favorite weapon is a long whip with thorns on them, but really any sharp weapon would do quite nicely."He just nods and smiles at my answer.

"Ok next question,Is there any family you are fighting to back for."Now the questions are starting to get more tense.She feels the tension inside her body rising at that question.Sue quickly reminds her self that she will not allow the Capitol grab a hold of her emotions, not at time like this.She then hesitantly answers.

"There really isn't any other family back home except for my big brother who is also in the games with me."

Mercutio seems satisfied with the answer.Hopefully he doesn't know he almost got her in his trap.Nearing the fourth question the host seems to be getting a little uneasy.She wonders why though.

"What or Who do you miss more than anything."There really trying hard to get her emotions are they.Well two can play it that game.Her mental wall will stay strong and it will not fall.Sue nods and answers "I miss my mother more than anything." The words rolling off the tip of her tongue seems more calm that she had anticipated.Mercutio evidently starts to sweat and fidget in his seat.Why now is he starting to act strange?Sue shrugs and lets it go.

"The fifth question is Are you terrified of what might happen in the arena."She thinks to herself.All tributes should feel curious about the games.There are far more possibilities of what the games might serve all of the tributes.

"Yes,I'm scared theres no point in denying it."

She seems way more honest that she was hoping for.At least she is doing great.She mentally pats her back for making it this far without breaking.One last question and this interview will be over.Mercutio pulls at his collar as he recites the last question of the interview.

"What is your worst fear." He knew this question would break her thats why he started getting uneasy.He had no choice,but to obey and be one of the President's puppet.She still can't believe she has to answer that.The fear inside of her is buried deep inside her heart which took her so long to hide what her biggest fear is.Her fear isn't like an average person fear like fear of the dark.Unfortunately,she can't avoid the question and she has to answer honestly.

"M-my worst fear is being Alone."Sue's head is hung low and her mental wall is starting to form cracks.She is a coward for letting them dig up the dirt and debris that contained her deepest emotions.She is a coward for having fear in being alone.She is a coward for doing nothing to stop her father from driving her into a corner.No one understands the way she feels and acts except her brother.She could never let her brother leave her side every day and night.When Sue is alone without her brother;she can always sense the presents of her father.The only reason why she is doesn't feel her fear right now.Is because she knows that her brother is just seating next to his partner listening to what her answers were to every single question asked.

"Give it up for Sue Versatiles."Mercutio says so calm as if that last question could not have done enough damage to her.As she stands up silently the crowd claps and shout her name.She lifts her head up and looks at Mercutio.He sadly smiles and bids her goodbye.Sue can tell that he relaxed because he is safe from the wrath of the "Dragon".Giving one final glance at the crowd.She looks up and sees President Alyssa slowly clapping and smirking down at her on the balcony.Sue walks off the stage and into the room where all the other tributes are seated and chatting lowly to each other.

She takes her seat next to Rue,but this time she doesn't dare take a look at her partner.Sue mentally slaps herself for failing to conceal her emotion and not letting it show.
