Miss Peregrine's Home for Divergents and Victors

Chapter 2: The Preparation of the Games

I wore a Dauntless black shirt and pants. I will see Uriah later. I don't know what will happen but the words hunt me. Hunger Games. I am terrified, much terrified than having the Aptitude Test.

Me and Uriah is sitting on a luxurious couch with studded gems on it's back. In fron of us is a giant TV screen. We talked for a while about happened. Then, the Peacekeepers came with guns, they made us follow them into a well-lit hallway. After a while, we are on the backstage of the stage. I hear President Snow's voice.

Snow: Welcome. IT has been 75 years since the uprising of the districts. This year's Hunger Games is a Quarter Quell. On this day, the Tributes will reaped on the existing pool of Victors and...

Wait. What? Existing pool of Victors. Katniss would be in the Games again! How could they do it to her!

Snow: ... because Chicago and Panem had made a decision that every faction of Chicago would represent 2 Tributes...

With that, I felt like my heart just stopped. I'm gonna be a Tribute. I punched the Peacekeeper on my right and left the room. I found a quiet place and sit down beside a giant couch and wept. How could this happen? Isn't this enough? Out of nowhere, the TV turned on.

Snow: This agreement is only effective for this year only. After this, we will solely help Chicago on a very important project.

I grab a vase and threw it to the TV. Not a scratch. I look behind me and saw 2 Peacekeepers. So they allowed me to stay in this place after all. What kind of project are they talking about?

Snow: I will give the floor to Epheus to lead the reaping of the factions.

A woman with her hair standing up. It looks weird. She has a very white face that looks like she is dying. She wears a yellow dress that fits her hair color.

Epheus: Well, well! Today one young man and woman would be presenting their faction on this year's Hunger Games.

The Peacekeepers grabbed my arm and lead me to the backstage. I saw Uriah sitting on a high red chair.

Epheus: Let's begin with Erudite. Well ladies first.

She went to a ball of papers. She dug deeply. She chosen a paper and open it.

Epheus: Bea Hemwood!

Out of nowhere, a woman that look like 18 years old came. Wait. Everyone is in here now?

Epheus: Now for the boys.

Please don't let it be Caleb! Please!

Epheus: Caleb Prior.

Suddenly, i blacked out.

My eyes are blurry and I cannot see anything. Where am I? Then I noticed that my hand and body is tied to a pole behind me and my mouth is tied with a piece of cloth. I hear grunt on my left. My head hurts. Then I hear Epheus.

Epheus: Before everything, the person who caught one of these Dauntless Tributes will be rewarded with a fortune. And they are Gale Hawthorne and Peter Hayes.

I am so angry! I want to kill them for capturing me and Uriah. I want them to rot in hell! Out of nowhere, two Peacekeepers turned on the lights and I see Uriah on my left, eyes wide and pale. The Peacekeepers came to us and untied us both then they left us in this room. The room is not so big and no designs, only white paint.

Epheus: Without further notice, here are the Dauntless Tributes of the 75th Hunger Games!

The wall in front of us slid through the left side. I see a sea of people wearing ugly things. Epheus signaled us to come in front.
