Gianna's POV

I woke up to find my brother, Travis, straddled over me, shaking me. "Come on! It's Midas's birthday! Come on!" I groaned and shoved him off of me before getting up.

"Tell mom I'll be down soon! Im getting dressed and I don't think you want to see me naked T." I told him smirking. He ran out of my room.

I threw on a green tank top and put my white leather jacket over it. I picked out some blue jeans and snuck downstairs. "Mom I'm going on a walk, be back before to party K?" I called.

She smiled, and nodded. "Be back soon. If you see you father at the market tell him breakfast is almost ready." I nodded to her.

I headed down to the market and looked through trinkets for Midas's present. Midas Utorga was the grandson of Khyrsos, god of gold. Which explains his name of course. His mother won the games at age 15, one of the youngest. SHe moved here with her mortal boyfriend and they got married and had Midas and Finley. There two sons. Today Midas, my best friend, turns 16. My age.

I picked up a golden medal, it had a black cord and a gold lightning bolt. The symbol of the gods. I traded 2 drachmas for it. Then my hand landed on a small trident dog tag. The trident was blue but the dogtag was green. His grandparents symbolic colors. I traded my last 8 drachmas to get it.

Most of the Capitol knew my name because as soon as I was born, Lord Zeus visited and announced me to the capitol so I hide behind the hood on my tank top. I walked to the edge of the village and looked at the stone wall. It was wearing, had perfect foot wholes.

Mom and Dad never knew but I did this a lot. I Climbed over the wall, leaving my hands a bit raw And my left one bleeding a bit. I hopped down, my legs had learned to withstand long, pressured jumps so the 18 feet jump did almost nothing but that could have been the godly blood in my system, My dad always said I was powerful.

I sprinted off into the woods to the lake. I stopped at a hollowed tree, that I shared as a cargo compartment with a family's of squirrels. Being a granddaughter of Demeter had benefits. Apparently my mother could never talk to animals but I could. It was odd.

I grabbed my 3 throwing knifes, it took off again but stopped when a twig snapped. I turned and saw a boy, maybe 16 like me. He had black hair and crystalite Eyes that appeared white. His skin was pale, He looked from Chinese ansesterey On his back was a bow. Complete opposite of me, I have Carmel brown hair and Sea green eyes. My tan skin makes me look African next to his snow complexion, I held my knife in a throwing position. My middle name is Sea, FYI. Ugh, stuipd ADHD.

Back on track...He aimed an arrow and I got ready to throw a knife.

He put his hands up in mock surrender, "Look Knives, lets just put down our weapons, go our separate ways yes?" He asked. I examed him and put my knife on my belt with the others, "Listen Arrow boy, leave. I've been hunting here since I was 11 so I have the rights." I said definitely.

He nodded slowly and left. He said one thing that got me though, "Nobody trains to be average, guess we have something in common Knives." What surprised me was the fact that I smiled to him and nodded, "maybe I'll see you soon arrow boy."

We went our separate ways and I cursed. I'm gonna be late to the party!

I ran down ally's and pushed over people trying to get there in time. I arrived at 27 Saturn lane and knocked on the door to find an angry dad, "why were you late?"

"Oh this guy wanted the same thing as me," I pulled out the necklace to show him, his expression softened and he nodded, I walked in and Midas smiled, "Gianna! You made it!" He called from across the room.

We ate some cake and I gave him my gift. After about 4 hours, the TV blared to life with a mandatory viewing. We gathered around it.

Zeus appeared, "Hello Citizens of Olympia. I have in my hand the Quater Quell anncoument." We watched in anticipation, waiting to know the special form of torture they made my parents compete in.

"The Tributes will be reaped from the children of current victors." Zeus called.

"WHAT!?" Me and Midas called.

I might be going in the Games. I have a double chance since I'm a grandchild of two olympians. Oh gods.

Author Note,

I know it's short but I'm trying to get to the reaping.
