100th Hunger Games

Let the Real Hunger Games begin!

Peeta's POV

The next morning I wake up even so slightly disorionted, I haven't been awake since yesterday afternoon I think, I can't remember anything and now I'm waking up to see the beautiful sunrise through my window. After staring out the window for a few minutes I turn over to see Katniss and all I find is a cold space of emptiness. "Katniss?..." I called out as she may be in the other room but the only reply I get is silence. "Maybe she's already up and in with Haymitch, Effie and Rose," I think to myself stepping out of bed and into some soft fluffy slippers. I reach for the handle of the metal door and to my surprise it's shut tight, no sign of moving anywhere at the moment. "Great, they've locked me in, smart idea you stupid Capitol Idiots!" I shouted gradually getting louder. The games are creeping over so closer and I really hope to spend some time with my family before me and Kat go in there to find and help Finn to escape all of this. I decide to just sit on my bed until somebody unlocks the door and all I can think of is Kat, Rose and Finn. After about 2 hours of waitting, the door finally unlocks and in walks the boy's prep team and Lunia before it is locked straight back up again. "When can I see Katniss and Rose again?!" I ask them.

"Oh, hello to you too Peeta!" Maxi calls before turning to smile at Rue, Cato and Lunia.

"I'm sorry I've just been locked in here for around... I don't know... 16 HOURS now! No one has let me see Katniss or Rose it's just soo UnFair!"

"Peeta your going into the games today and we need to get you ready ASAP, I'm sorry but you may never see Rose again and as for Katniss well that will depend in the arena." Lunia explains while taking me into the bathroom, pressing some buttons on the shower and pushing me in. Within the steam of the shower water no one sees me crying slightly, the though of not seeing my beautiful daughter again and for all I know Katniss as well. She could be dead before I get to her in the arena, maybe even Finn too. I spend ages in the shower and I was reluctant to come out until Lunia shouts to me "Peeta will you please come out time is going fast and we haven't even sorted you out properly yet!" I step out the shower, dry off and get changed into a simple wetsuit, great there's going to be some sort if water. Then on top I'm made to put on a simple black t-shirt and Kaki trousers. I tie the laces to my black boots and i'm ready to go. Instantly I'm directed to the roof where the hovercraft awaits. When inside the hovercraft I look straight in front to see Katniss sitting in front of me. All I can possibly do is give her a short, faint smile and hope I can soon be with her. Shortly after a Capitol assistant comes over puts a tracker in my arm and then we are off to the arena.

Finn's POV

There hasn't been much excitement in the arena lately everyone is avoiding the small island mainly because they know I'll slaughter them if they set foot on it. I sit quietly on my own in the cave at the centre of the island, I have plenty of supplies so I haven't really heard much from mum and dad in regards to their mentoring. After sitting alone for another few hours I hear footsteps in the distance, someone is on the island. I grab my bow and arrow and prepare to shoot, I am about to release my arrow when I see these 2 people aren't any sort of threat what so ever it's Kat and Lucia. "Hey Kat, Lucia, it's me Finn!" I call over to them. As they hear my call they come running over more than happy to see me.

"Finn, where have you been all this time, we've been looking all over the arena for you and nearly risked getting killed in a big fight with some ninja killer 5 year olds!" I giggle slightly, gosh they must be wimps to struggle fighting children who are something like 10 years younger than themselves. "Not funny Finn, not funny," Lucia continues. We all settle back into the cave until the next day, taking it in turns sleeping and being I guard. The next day we are startled by the booming voice of Claudius Templesmith on the loudspeaker over the arena. "Ladies and Gentleman Let the REAL 100th Hunger Games commence!!!" It shouts out and the current cave we are sat in starts to enlarge slightly. We hear a countdown start 20...19...18...17...

"What's going on?!" Kat shouts over to myself and Lucia. 16...15...14...13...12...

"I have no idea but we better go, I don't like it here!" I call back grabbing my supplies. 11...10...9...8...7...

"Yeah me too, let's go!" Lucia says grabbing her supplies as we sprint out the cave only to be stopped in our tracks. We are surrounded by all the mentors on their separate podiums all eyes on us. 6...5...4... All of a sudden someone screams at us.

"FINN, GET OUT OF HERE NOW!!" There is a mixture of desperation and crying as we try to make our way out but it's to late. 3...2...1...GO!!! Many careers are hurtling towards us I grab another rucksack before I'm lifted into the air. Someone is carrying me away from the arena, I look down to find my amazing dad, Peeta running as fast as he can towards the forest with me in his arms. I look back to see mum grabbing supplies and trying to defend us as we run into the forest. All is going well until a poisoned knife comes hurtling start for dad's arm and hitting his upper arm. Peeta drops me instantly and before I can say anything mum comes sprinting over, lifts Peeta into her arms while he cries in agony and gets us kids to follow her. We keep on running for hours on end until we find a hidden cave to rest for a while. We settle down our supplies and set up camp. I don't have any chance to ask mum why she is here but by what i've heard this is where it all begins.

Katniss' POV

What could possibly happen badly in my life now? I've just watched my son nearly get killed, and my husband is extremely hurt where there is no possible means of medicine unless the Capitol people actual care about us which I feel is highly unlikely. I leave Finn, Kat and Lucia to sort and set up the supplies while I tend to Peeta. "Peeta, please stay with me, you'll be okay I promise." I whisper quietly to him. I lift Peeta up and rest him on a blanket. I then find a lid to collect some water from a nearby river to clean Peeta's wound. The next 1 hour spent cleaning a dressing Peeta's wound but his injuries have extended to a lot more than that now. It turns out that it was a poisonous knife that hit Peeta so he could have a maximum of 2 weeks to live if he doesn't have the right medicine. I spend the rest of the night cuddled up to Peeta, praying that Haymitch can help us. "Mum, why are you here?" Finn whispers,

"as part of the games, remember Paylor saying about a special twist, well this is it. Two mentors from each district were entered in and well let's just say the odds are never in the Mellark family. Come here Finn." I reply to him, as he comes over and cuddles into me as Kat and Lucia talk quietly in the corner. I take first watch that night staying as close to Peeta and Finn as I can hoping I can get BOTH of them through this even if I don't make it.
