Through the eyes of a Tribute ( a hunger games story)
So this is it guys!!! I just wanted to say that while i was picking the names i was getting emotional and that it was 100% at random. All rights go to Suzanne Collins. This takes place in the 73rd annual Hunger Games. So....here we go!! Oh and the title of each chapter is the tribute who's P.O.V I'm doing and the district they come from. Oh and they are the people who die in the chapter....and this is my story quibblo. I came up with it and its my idea as of 12/17/2011
Chapter 1
Anton Locert (district 5)
May the odds ever be in my favor. "Ya right", I thought. Like I needed luck. I was going to win that competition without a second thought. I knew everyone else had this thought too, but they were wrong." I'm going to win this". Some people might call me cocky for talking like this, but honestly I don't give a crap. I'll kill them in the end and win power and glory. My parents will finally, after all these years, be proud of me. I looked at myself one more time before the games started. I moved my blonde hair out of my gray eyes. "Man I look good," I thought. All the other girl tributes made that obvious. All of them wanted me. My mentor ,Amalie Mercury Lark, says my cockiness will get me nowhere, but who cares what she says?
When my escort came to my town, my friends and her were laughing at her gaudy outfit and hair. Back then, it was only about a week or so ago...well anyway, I was kind of afraid of getting called, since it was fight to the death, but when i got here, my attitude changed and I felt as if I was king of Panem. I admit i was nervous when she reached her hand in the bowl, but let out a sigh of relief when she called a girl's name. "Caden Autumn", she yelled. I looked at a girl with long auburn hair, choking back tears, heading up on stage. I looked at her up and down. She was gorgeous. I was distracted by her and zoned out until my friend nudged me in the ribs.
"What?!" i snapped
"You-your name. You need to go up." he said quietly. I looked up at the lady with her hand extended to me. I walked right past it on my way to the stage.
"Now Anton Locert and Caden Autumn, Welcome to your chance at eternal glory! Shake hands and then go with the guards to your rooms for now." She looked a bit timid at shaking my hand, but grabbed it with a strong grasp. I had never seen her before, which was weird because i knew almost everyone. I shook her hand back and looked into her gorgeous green eyes. She seemed to smile a small smile and then turned away from me and walked to her room.
My dad didn't seem to care that i was leaving. Even if i won i bet he wouldn't care, even if i am his only child.I told him that he would be proud of me, and all he said to me back, for possibly the last time, was,"Don't make me look bad." and he slapped my back. My mom, on the other hand, couldn't stop crying and hugging me so hard that i had to push her off as i got to the train.
I seemed to impress the Capitol with my bad boy attitude in the interviews and my close combat skills in the arena. All that was left was to win. I remember the night before the Games Caden came to me secretly. She was cocky, I learned, but not to much that would give off a bad vibe.
"I want us to be allies."She whispered.
"You do?"
"Ya, I saw what you did during combat training, and I thought we would be a good team, what with me being sneaky and you being strong..."
"I'd like that. You do know your gorgeous right? I mean-"
"Cut the crap."She said,"I know what your trying to do."and then she got closer," and it won't work on me, got it, Anton?"
"Ya i guess..."
"Great, let's get started on our battle strategies then."
We worked for 2 hours and then we decided we should get rest. Our plan was to for her to get a weapon and me to get a backpack and then meet up at the nearest water source to the east. It was perfect. She was perfect.
I remember feeling good on the first day. Our stylist and our mentor told us some last minute reminders and then we were put in the tubes that would lead us to our fates. We were brought up to a huge forest/valley arena. I looked at Caden, who winked at me from across the starting point. Then we heard the announcers. I knew not to move now. They dumped the weapon supplies and stuff about 25 feet in front of us. I already had my eyes on a backpack that looked like it had some decent stuff in it. Then i heard it. The countdown. I got myself ready.
"5,4,3,2,1....GO!!!!!!!!!!"
i bolted as fast as someone could to the backpack. Already people were fighting, but no one was down yet. I saw some people grabbing their stuff and running into the woods. I grabbed my backpack when I felt something stab me in the back. I went down hard. I My eyesight was fuzzy. I could see Caden standing over me, looking pleased. "Told you it wouldn't work," she snarled, then grabbed my backpack along with her arrows, and ran off into the woods with a group of allies. I felt a tear run down my cheek. "I'm sorry Mom, I wish I hadn't pushed you off." My vision was gone now, and I knew i would never see my family again. "And I'm sorry Dad, I just wanted to please you,"I thought for the last time,"but i failed...again".............
I hope you guys liked this!!! i almost started crying while writing this. The next chapter will be out soon!!! Please comment and tell me how you liked it!! sorry if it stunk....
