The Alliance Of Six: The 29th Hunger Games.

CHAPTER ELEVEN

ELECTRA'S P.O.V.

I am awake long before I hear my mentor calling me down to leave. I didn't really sleep last night. At dawn, my team and I have our last goodbyes and we head to the roof and climb the ladder to the hovercraft. The insert a tracker into my arm and I am escorted to a table that has my breakfast on it. I am fully prepared for the games.

I wonder what it would have been like if my mother was my mentor. Orion and I have someone else for our mentor, his name is Atom. He's about my mother's age, and they actually knew each other when they were younger, so I'm fairly familiar with Atom.

The hovercraft windows become black, so we can't see the arena. The hovercraft ladder lowers me and my stylist, Hestia, down into a tube that leads to the underground catacombs of the arena. I'm lead to a specific place that we call the Launch Room.

I get ready for the games by showering in the Launch Room and Hestia comes in with my outfit. The undergarments are a thick black skin-tight pants that go down to my knees, with a thick black leather bandeau with straps. My pants are grey-ish black and long, they aren't too tight nor too baggy. A black tight tank top goes over my bandeau and then a normal tight tee shirt, the same color as my pants. Then my jacket is big and fairly baggy, the same grey-ish black color, and I wear black combat boots.

Overall, the outfit is comforatble and easy to move around in, but all the materials are thick so it provides warmth and protection from harm.

To finish my outfit off, I take my district token and examine it. It's a gold lightning bolt charm that my mother gave me. I put it in my pocket.

I wait for the call, drinking water and trying to eat more.

Finally, I hear te countdown to launch, and I thank Hestia for everything and step onto my metal plate that lifts me into the arena. I stand with my head high in the darkness, and the metal plate begins to life me up into the arena.

I feel a rush of air and an odd smell, but all I see is grey skies as the plate rises.

I hear the announcer's voice all around me.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, let the Twenty-ninth Hunger Games begin!”
