The Hunger Games (DISCONTINUED/EDITING)

Entering the Games

Okay. So I didn't update real fast. What ya gonna do? Come to my house and kill me? Don't acually do that cause then I couldn't write the story. Well, enjoy!

I push through a crowd and make my way into an empty elevator I lean on the wall a bit and look down. I try to block out the thought of Peeta. The elevator door opens and I quickly walk out. I take off my shoes and run to my room. I slam the door shut and lock it quickly. I sit on my bed and think about what just happened. Peeta says he loves me. I love Peeta. Things . . . are never going to be the same.

I hear a knocking at the door and slowly walk to the door. I peek out and see Peeta. I try to close it but he pushes the door open. He grabs me by the waist and presses his lips againt mine. I quickly respond phisically, but my mind is prossesing what's going on. I put my arms around Peeta's neck and he pulls me closer. I pull away but Peeta pulls me back. We just stand there kissing until I let Peeta guide me to the dining room.

Peeta sits me down next to him and holds my hand. All the while we're in the dining room, I hold onto Peeta's hand. I don't eat anything so I just talk with Haymitch, Effie, Cinna, and Portia when they arn't really eating. Peeta walks me back to my room and gives me a light peck on the lips.

"Goodnight Arianna." Peeta says.

"Night Peeta." I say giving him a hug. I walk into my room and change out of my clothes. I put on a t-shirt and some pajama pants. I crawl into bed and have the dream again.

It's Peeta and me, sitting in a meadow filled with flower. We're laughing and just having fun. Suddenly the sun goes down to a sunset and Peeta is closer than before. We look into eachother's eyes and Peeta says, "I love you." and leans in and kisses me. It get's me every time. I reconize the dream but I don't know what's going to happen next. I wake up to a shake. Peeta and Haymitch are by me, with a worried look on their faces.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"Your heart stopped." Peeta says.

"What do you mean? My heart didn't stop." I say.

"Yes it did." says Haymitch. " Before it stopped, your heart was beating so loud I think it was heard across the whole nation of Panem."

"It's called the USA. Not Panem. USA." I say to Haymitch.

"Well, your heart acually did stop." Peeta says. I shurg and push them out while Cinna walks in. He gestures for me to follow and he leads me to the roof. I touch a ladder that freezes me body. I'm lifted up and a lady injects something into my arm.

"Hold still. Gotta make sure we know where you are." the lady says. I'm guessing it's a tracker. Cinna leads me to a room and I take a seat. I snack on some food and drink water daily. Sometime later the windows go black. a ladder lowers down I climb down to find one more ladder. I climb down it and Cinna leads me into a room. He slips a jacket onto me and I walk around. Green shirt, black pants, leather belt, leather boots. Comfortable enough.

Cinna and I wait until a voice says for me to step into a cylinder. Before I step inside Cinna puts my mockingjay pin on.

"I forgot all about that." I say. He nods and I step into the cylinder. It slowly closes around me. I begin to rise and I'm soon high enough to see my surroundings. The clock begins to count down and I look at a sheath of arrows and a bow. I feel Peeta glaring at me and I look over at him. He shakes his head no and I just ignore him. He doesn't know how fast I am. He doesn't know how strong I am.

A gong goes off and I sprint towards the bow and arrows. I grab it and three knives. I grab a pack and head for the woods. I run for an hour and take a break. I take a moment to listen to see if anyone is near me. Dead silence. I look for water and after two hours I come across a stream. I take a drink and look in my pack. A pack of beef. A sleeping bag. A water bottle. Dried fruit. Some sleeve things. And night vision goggles. Iodine. Cool.
