Intelligence | A Hunger Games Fanfiction

Kiliel's P.O.V.

I sat quietly on my sofa staring at my once black TV as it came to life and blazed with color. Then a figure of a slightly older man with red hair sitting in a gilded white upholstered throne began to speak.

"Citizens of Panem, it has been twenty-five years since Katniss led the revolution against the Capitol. But in the spirit of tradition, it's time for a Quarter Quell! This year we will be reaping all girls. The games will en when there are twelve girls left standing and they can unanimously decide two of them to be the victors and wear the crowns." President Perraulta says addressing all of Panem.

"Mom, what if Koopyr and I are reaped?" I ask my mother River.

"Well Kiliel, you two have a lot of family history winning the games. I won, dad won and Kailia and Kalani won. Don't worry, you better get to sleep." my mom says.

I walk to my room and fall asleep as soon as I hit my mattress. I wake up to my older sister kalani saying" Get up Kiliel, you'll be late for your last day of training before the reaping."

"I'm up Kali, just pick me and outfit. it better not be stupid! And I'll be down soon." I say getting out of bed.

I look at the outfit Kali picked out for me, " Perfect, all green, just the way I wanted." I say to myself. I dress quickly and run down the stairs grabbing my bow and quiver from the banister at he bottom of the stairs.

"Ready to go?" Koopyr asks.

"Yep! What about you?" I ask.

"Let's just go. We don't want to waste any more time." Koopyr says opening the front door.

Koopyr and I walk to the training center located about a block from the Justice Hall. We head inside and meet out strategy teachers Clover and Eli so we can have an advantage for the games.

"Good, you two are here. I thought you two wouldn't show." Eli says.

"Are you two ready to begin your strategy lesson? We have a very special message from President Perraulta." Clover says.

'Hello girls. This year we have pre-determined the tributes for this year's games. And your names were drawn. So, which one of you is Koopyr?" President Perraulta asks and Koopyr raises her hand.

"So then you must be Kiliel."

"Yes sir, my name is Kiliel Glass. I'm fourteen years old and Koopyr is my twin sister." I tell President Perraulta.

"I understand you come from a family of victors? Am I correct?"

"Yes President Perraulta." I say hoping he won't ask us to state our skills. my archery is flawless as is my hand to hand combat. but I didn't want to jinx myself.

"Well that's all girls, see you in the Capitol."

"Phew, that was close! I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of President Perraulta." I tell Meadow.

"I get it Kiliel, c'mon we better get training." Koopyr says grabbing her dagger.
