The Hunger Games

kaoru

we were being led out of the train and the first thing taht caught me was the large sea of cameras and flashing lights before us. I could hear the announcer announcing our arrival from district 11

My eyes got dizzy and blurry as i stood outside the train. The girl beside me nearly collapse and i caught her just before she could fall. I can hear some of the people wooing us but i did not care. Our trainer walked out of the train and we followed her to a large blue car that was suppose to transport us to our first stop.

The cameras continue to flicker before us and for some time, i got lost in the maze of light with the girl i was supporting if it were not for our trainer to lead us to the car and let us dissapear from the crowd.

Madison ~ District 1


I had an advantage. The capitol always loved District 1, even if that boy and girl from District 12 stole their 'hearts' last year.

The train was about to stop and I knew what I had to do. I went to the bathroom and primped, something my Dad usually forbid me of. He said it would make me 'to girlie.'

The train stopped and cameras flashed, blinding me. I regained my composure and batted my blue-green at them. I flipped back my hair and continued walking, following my trainer.

"So were you and this Madison really close?" A man with a camera asked. I sighed. Time to see how good my acting was.

I widened my eyes and nodded.

"Yes, sir. We talked all the time and I knew that if anything happened to her, it would hurt me ten times worse. She is like my sister," I said as innocently as possible.

I could tell they were buying it. It probably had more to do with the fact that I was a short as a little kid, and I was playing up the innocence. If that's what I needed to do to survive then so be it.

I smiled and walked away. So the games were already beginning.

Pita smiled at me on the train. I think her was trying to be nice, but I couldn't let anyone get close - not even friends. I was about to risk my life, and all because the mayor pulled out 2 names.
The train lurched to a stop, and I briefly thought about hiding in the toilets. No! I couldn't let district 2 down. Never - i could do this!
I walked out with Pita, and was immidiatly taken back by the cameras. They swooped everywhere, and I held my hand up in desperation, anything to stop the hoard of oncoming light. The flashes... they were torture. i almost gave in - it would be easier to loose than deal with this type of fame.

Cameras began a haze of flashing bulbs and bombarded the tributes with questions. The district 11 tributes I was to aid on their journey here were not at all what I had expected. Sure the boy looked stern and maybe had a chance, but the little girl. She just looked petrified. I had to keep myself from telling the Capitol I'd take her place. They wouldn't allow it anywhere.

The Capitol representative pranced down the platform from the train with a demanding grace and cut in front of the tributes. She stopped and the boy, Ranmaru, almost ran into her in his rush to get away from the cameras. She glared and quickly smiled at the cameras answering a few question before trudging toward me.

"What are you looking at?" She paused,"Go get the luggage from the train."I was stunned,"That means now!" She growled the words.

"Um, Yes ma'am."I darted onto the train, the cameras dieing down a bit when they saw me.


Savy Delm~District 12:

I wasn't prepared for the rush of light that came when the train door was opened. I could tell Rian wasn't either, because his hand instinctively latched onto the door frame. Lola grew impatient of us standing there and gave each of us a little shove. I hesitantly stepped onto the platform and immediately all everything was happening to fast, a blur. I was asked several question I couldn't really answer and the flashing lights was hurting my eyes.

"I don't think I'll be able to get used to this,"Chuckled Rian at my side. I raised my hand to block my eyes, and that seemed to set the crowd with more questions.

"Hurry up now! We haven't got all day, little ones!"Lola chirped from behind us and smiled through clenched teeth.

Our Avox was waiting at the end and I smiled at him.

Pita Rouge

"Here" I said and handed Sara a pair of sunglasses that I had found on the train. Then I put another pair on. She murmured a thanks. As we were hurried through to are stylist. The elevator shot p and Effie was switching from different feet in excitement. I looked at Sara and rolled my eyes towards Effie, she smiled but quickly wiped it away. Like most tributes she probably thought that making friends was a bad idea. Since we were all going to be killing each other.

"you know your very lucky I handled the last tributes that one this thing" Effie said.

"yeah I know" I said as the elevator pinged and opened. I was led in a different direction from Sara were the prep team would know doubt do their magic for the opening ceremony. When I walked in three lady's with their bright eyelashes and colorful clothes which was somehow fashionable in the capitol. Another reason for them to be killed I joked in my head.

"oh look what we have to work with" one of them squealed as they set about striping off my dirty clothes. One of them sat me down on a leather chair and took out a pair of scissors.

"I think my hairs okay" I said not wanting her to cut it but another one of the lady's, Kila pushed me back down in to the seat. The prep team then started their work, the one cutting my hair was called Maggie. She cut my hair and then washed it in warm water a rare thing outside of the capitol. Kila was cleaning my feat and cutting the nails while the third one Georgie cleaned and buffed my hands. After that they let me stand upin the middle on the room.

"nice frame" Maggie said.

"a little on the skinny side" Kila said back and realised they were talking about me and I suddenly felt bare standing naked in front of these people so I turned away from them.

"strong legs and he'll beef up after only a few days of the capitols food" Georgie said and the rest murmured in agreement. before turning on a shower above and coming to clean me.

"god your so dirty considering your from district 2" Maggie said.

"nice scars" Kila said running a soapy sponge down the scars I had gotten from my whipping a few years back.

Ten minutes later and I felt even more bare the grime and gotten used to no longer covering my body. The prep team left and my stylist came in she had big black boots and a thick lining of make up across her face she was still however strangely attractive.

"okay what have we got here" she said walking round me a few times she nodded to her self before handing me a robe that I quickly pulled over my self. Then she talked to me about what I was gonna wear it ended up as a silver suit and a deep grey tie deep grey combat boot that my silver trousers were tucked into too. Nice I thought.

Madison ~ District 1

I walked through the elevator doors,facing my stylists. Great, I thought, here we go.

"Spin," one of the woman ordered. I rolled my eyes and spun around, slowly. "Hmm, nice. She's slender with not so obvious muscles. She's got a pretty face. This shouldn't be too hard."

As the male tribute left the arena I sat in the chair. They washed my hair and styled it in a twisty bun type thing. They let two strands of hair fall around my face.

"Do you think we should dye her hair?" Someone asked. My heart stopped. I loved my hair.

"No, we'll go with a natural hair color," a man said. He stood in front of me and put some glittery mascara and eyeliner around my lids, along with sliver eyeshadow.

Next I slipped into a floor length gown that looked like diamonds, rubies and emeralds, were enbedded in the surface. It matched my shimmering make-up.

"This year, you'll be the one to look at," the man said proudly. "Maybe this year I will regain my honor that District 12 took from us." He smiled at me. "Get ready," he whispered.

Okay, so I've been thinking and I realize it could take awhile till we actually get to the games so I'm putting this to a vote.

Who here thinks we should skip the interview that comes after the opening ceremony and go straight to the games?

I mean we'll obviously have lunch and everything after the first ceremony but should we have the interview because later on in the games we could talk about what happened in the interview instead of doing full interview scenes. And I also want to do the gamemakers scoring. If that makes sense.....

Savy Delm~District 12:

Rian and I were separated as we entered the doors of the famous Capitol building. People adorned in silks, glitters, fur, and other materials passed by in a rush getting to their district tributes.

"Are you Savy Delm, district 12?" A man asked me reading off a card. His accent was just like everyone else's. Weird.

I nodded,"Yes, that's me but I'm-"

"No time for talk,"He led me to a room with a raised circular thing in the floor and pointed,"You must stand on that, the stylists will be here soon." With that he was gone and I was alone.

A man with blonde highlights walked in, Cinna. Now I was really nervous. No way in hell did I want to be lit on fire.

"Take those clothes off. I need to get a better look at you." I was frozen and suddenly very self conscious standing on the raised platform. I complied, though, and the next thing I knew I was completely naked in front of a whole team of stylists. Men and women.

"She's muscular, too muscular. How can we possibly cover that,"Said one lady examining my arms. Or flapping them widely was more like it.

"Her hair is too flimsy, nothing like Katniss's!"A man standing next to Cinna said and I blushed a bright crimson.

"Nonsense. First we must give her a bath and get all that grime off." Cinna cooed and I was being rushed off the platform and into a tiled room where water shot at me from every angle. Then I was being scrubbed by five different stylists. Obviously Capitol people had never heard of 'the personal bubble'.

Finally I was brought back into the first room and given a robe as I took my place on the platform again. The robe was thin and I shivered with my wet black hair that fell to my waist and my blue eyes hurt. Hopefully he wouldn't try to powder my olive colored skin to a odd white.

Cinna looked at me with his green eyes and a smile lit up his face. "I've got it." Please no fire. Please no fire. Please no fire....

kaoru-district 11


"What is your name?" the girl ask as the car parked before a large building that we are supposed to meet our stylist.

"Kaoru and yours?"
"Migami" she said weakly. SHe was still in a state of shock. "Thanks for what had happened, i could swear i could not stand with all those lights."
I thanked her back as we stopped. Our trainer who was wathcing us glared an amusing smile before she walked out of the car and let us inside the building.

"Kaoru and Migami, eh?" she exclaimed as we went inside aitng for the elevator to open. "You'll make a lovely pair. You might even do the same trick the last tributes from district twelve did."

I can feel Migami blushed but i hid it as the elevators opened.

"How about yours, what is your name?"

"Call me Schera," she said proudly as we went inside.
By the time the doors opened we were greetd to a weird couple who were suppose to be our stylish.One was female with overuse blue dye hair while the other was a tall uy with a mohawk. I raised an eyebrow.

'Are you guys from district 11?" the female asked us and we both nodded in unison. Soon, we were seperated and i was led to a room where there were five more stylist in it. I had heard rumors on how the stylist hurt more than the real battle. I really did not think of it but as i walked in, i bet they were right.

Okay, so I've been thinking and I realize it could take awhile till we actually get to the games so I'm putting this to a vote.

OK, sure, but I don't want to skip the part where they are with their stylists; because that's one of my characters

Madison

I stood in front of the stage, giving a huge smile, when I felt like crying. I twirled and walked with the male tribute. I still didn't know his name.

"Hold my hand," he whispered through his smile.

"What!?"I asked, waving at the fans.

"Just do it, It'll help later."

I knew what he was getting at and I obliged. The crowd cooed and I tried not to roll my eyes. Then, as soon as it started, it was over. I sighed in relief and let go of the boy's hand. Soon we would be fighting. I had to keep myself alive.


**Sorry, I'll make a longer one tomorrow or so.

I won't be able to post for a bit because my grandmother is being all weird, please keep my characters active! Please. (I'll love you guys forever if you do!)

No problem Autumn. i've been trying to get on here to post as well and I really have no time at the moment. I can only type this.....gotta go!

[Sara]

The stylist was ecstatic. Apparently I had a strong build which would help me in the games. It only made me feel bad though, because I thought bout last year and how the cereers lost their food. We would be samrter this year though, and no-one will be able to get close.

It was also bad because I wouldn't be as fast. the ting girl from District 12 could sprint, and I knew that I wouldn't be able to get my hand=handweapons.

*We should be starting the ceremonies about now*

Savy Delm~District 12:

It looked like luck was on my side so far. Cinna had thought it to repetitive to light a girl on fire two years in a row. Thank God for that. Instead I was dressed in a dress that formed to every curve of my body and even added some. The color was silver. Bright sequenced silver the sparkled when I moved.

"Don't be afraid, the ceremonies will be over before you know it," Katniss said from behind me, "Cinna, says you remind him of me, so that has to be a plus." She smiled at me and winked.

"I don't think the other stylists agreed very much."I replied a little embarrassed. Before she could reply I heard the President annouce 'Welcome one and all to the 75th Annual Hunger Games!' There was a roar of cheers and I was being ushered into a carriage along with Rian, who now looked twice his age.

"Get ready." Katniss whispered, backing away from the carriage.

"But we're District twelve!" I tried to argue back, but I knew what she meant. Everything happened fast or at least felt like it, when you're a tribute.

"Please help me welcome this year's District 1 tributes!"

*That cues in district one and Rian*

Madison

I stood in front of the stage, giving a huge smile, when I felt like crying. I twirled and walked with the male tribute. I still didn't know his name.

I already posted this, I guess I was a little early *blushes* (:
