The 1st Hunger Games - Introduction

District 11

- - - Addison Bolton's P.O.V - - -

I feel somewhat guilty as I step off the train and into District 11. In a very short time I will be choosing the fates of two innocent people. I think about everything they do for the Capitol, while we give them a horrible life. I only wanted to take this job so I could make the last days of the chosen tributes the best I can. I walk onto the stage, nervous of what the crowd will think of me.

I make the announcements I was told to make and play the video. I don't like it very much, I think the districts had a right to hold a rebellion. The large poor stricken district glares at me. To be honest I really don't blame them.

I dig my hand into the glass bowl to pick out the name of the female tribute and read out the name...

"Grace Nelson"

A young looking girl, maybe around 12 or 13 walks out from the crowd, her eyes wandering from person to person. She has long dark brown hair worn in many plaits, dark brown eyes and dark skin. I realise that she is actually 16 years old, but looked quite underfed. I do feel quite sorry for her.

I dig my hand into the glass bowl and pick out the male tributes name, feeling more guilty then ever, I read out the name...

"Sebastian Bates"

I notice that this tribute is actually 13 years old. He is also small and skinny with dark skin. He has short black hair and blue eyes. Encouraged by the peacekeepers he was pushed roughly towards the stage.

I somewhat regret taking up this position now, these two unfortunate tributes will probably both die in the area, because I chose them out. I gently leave them into the justice building to say their goodbyes.
