The Hunger Games (DISCONTINUED/EDITING)

Surprises

Hey guys. Sorry it took so long for me to upload. BTW, i don't really like this version that I'm writing it in so I might write it in many different versions because I have lots of different ideas. So, enjoy this chapter! VOTE! COMMENT! FAN ME!

My eyes snap open and I look around. I'm in a white room.

"Am I in heaven?" I mumble. I get no answer. I sit up and stand up on the bed. I let myself fall backwards onto the ground. I hit my head hard. I stumble onto the bed and Haymitch walks in.

"How you doing sweetheart?" he asks.

"How am I doing? How am I doing? I ask for knives and you give me stinking old letters! How do you think I'm doing?" I say.

"Arianna!" Effie squeals as she walks in. "Come, come!" she says pulling me out into a white hall. I'm led down endless hallways until I see Cinna.

"Cinna!" I yell as I give him a hug.

"Come follow me." Cinna says.

"Ug! More walking!" I groan. He leads me into another room. Then I'm attacked by my prep team. They scrub my body, wash my hair, wax my legs, all kinds of things that are unnecessary. Cinna dresses me in a light blue dress. It's REALLY puffy. He gives me matching flats. He curls my hair and does my make-up. Stuff like that.

"What do you think?" Cinna says bringing me to a full length mirror.

"Wonderful." I say. Cinna walks over to me and puts a blind fold on me. He leads me to who knows where.

"Take off your blind fold." Cinna says to me. When I take it off I'm in a garden full of all kinds of flowers.

"Where am I?" I ask.

"The president made it just for you." Cinna says.

"It's . . . beautiful." I whisper. We walk out of the garden and over to an unfamiliar building. We walk in and I'm led to a small circular platform surrounded by sawdust. Then Haymitch walks up to me.

"Good job. He says. I give him a hug and he hesitates before hugging me back. I step onto the circle and it starts to rise. Blinding lights shine into my eyes. The crowd roars with cheers. I look around and try to come into focus with my vision. When I can make everything out, I try to find Peeta. I feel strong arms wrap around me. I turn around and see Peeta looking refreshed, like he's never been in the games. I wrap my arms around him neck and lean in for a kiss. When our lips meet it's like we're in a different world. He pulls me closer and I start to play with his hair. I notice someone tap Peeta on the shoulder but he waves away whoever it was. I stumble to the side as I'm being pushed. Haymitch. Peeta and I take a seat and the crowd dies down. I see we're talking with Caesar. I see his lips move but I dont hear anything.

"What was that? I think that I might be deaf from the roaring crowd." I say. I look at the crowd and see people laughing, but I can hear anything.

"I'm serious! Wait, is this a prank?" I ask. I look back at the crowd and this time they laugh and I hear it.

"Hey! You were supposed to be quiet!" Peeta says.

"Peeta!" I yell at him. I smile at him and he pulls me closer, if it's even possible. Then Caesar continues.

"Okay, okay, let's move on. So, Arianna, how did you like the arena?"

"Well, it reminded me of my old home, except it was better." I say.

"So, your old home must of been really bad."

"Yeah. It was a nice place to live in if you weren't beaten everyday."

"Well, that doesn't sound very good. Any other options?"

"No, not really. Everything was a routine basically. I wake up to my mother's screaming voice, I get dressed, I get ditched by my family, I run to school, my classmates steal my money, I do my school work quietly, then I get beat up, then I walk home to see that I missed dinner. Nothing to bad." I say.

"Your like a brick wall. Pretty hard to break." Caesar says to me.

"Well, I wouldn't say a brick wall. I didn't do anything but suck up and deal with it. By the way, HOW can you deal with wearing this kind of clothing? It's to dressy! Even I didn't have this kind of clothing!" I whine.

"Arianna, can you please go thirty seconds without whining!" Peeta groans.

"Sure, when I can get out of this thing." I say giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"What? No lips?" Peeta asks me.

"After your lame attempt at that little joke, nope." The crowd goes wild. After they calm down I doze off and basically ignore everything. They literally have to shake me to get my attention.

"Arianna!"

"What? Who said that?"

"This is hopeless. Please excuse Arianna's dumbness." Peeta jokes.

"Hey! I'm smarter than you! I'm like three grades ahead of you! So who's the dumb one now?"

"Still you. And by the way, Caesar asked you what it was like in the Hunger Games."

"Well that's a dumb question. Then again, it's only dumb if you don't ask it. Well, anyways, It was really warm. And that's good because if anything, I would hate the cold. Can I go now?" I ask looking at Peeta.

"Why?" he asks me with a curious voice.

"Because, If I don't go now then I'm gonna be late for doing British immatations with Prim and Katniss. There's also Jamaican, Spanish, Italian,Russian, Sweden, and creepy French dude immatations. My favorite is creepy French dude. It's really funny." I say.

"I don't know." Peeta says.

"Well, if you won't let me, I'm gonna go anyways." I say standing up. I walk off the stage and go to my room. I dress in a green shirt and some blue pants. I put my hair in a pony tail and walk out of the room. But then I remembered something. I ran back inside and grabbed my mockingjay pin. I walk to the nearest train station and boarded to the next train headed towards District Twelve. I ran into a Peacekeeper and he grabbed my arm. He pushed me in a small room and someone else was in there.

"Why, hello Arianna." said the man himself, President Snow.

Sorry this took so long. I have one more idea and it's gonna be the next chapter. Bye!
