Hunger Games Fanfic {Part Ten is up!}

[The Most Sincere]

Yes, much better! Thank you! But I agree with the other user- the layout that they chose is easier to read. Especially for dyslexic people like me c; Loved the update! And that poor family :c First Hex's sister, and now him. Bad luck.

[I n f i n i t y]

It would help if you lay it out something like this.

I hear the door open and I turn. Thorn is already rushing towards me, I meet him halfway. He's on the verge of tears, I can tell. He hugs me close to his chest. I peek around him at Colt, who is already sniffling. How can I leave them? Thorn opens his arms and I do the same. Colt slips into our hug and we stand there, holding onto each other. "I love you." I whisper, tears falling down my face. "I love you too." Colt and Thorn say together.

The door opens again and the Peacekeeper says, "Time's up." Thorn and Colt give me one last squeeze before they are practically dragged out of the room. The door slams shut and the sound echoes through my ears. I stand there, trying to accept the fact that I am going to die. I quickly wipe my tears away. No good for the Capitol to see me weak. Maybe I could actually make it past the first day. Then I realized I had too.....for my brothers.

No one else comes to wish me good bye. Which is fine with me. I never had friends, I was satisfied with my two brothers. Finally the Peacekeepers and the woman came to escort me to the car. I tuned out as the lady started to chatter about how honored we should be and what a treat it would be to us, visitng the Capitol. I did find out her name was Sparkle Waters. Interesting name, but very Capitol.

We made it to the car where we were driven to the train station. Sparkle was talking about how fast the train was and that we would be at the Capitol in no time. I was too busy looking out the window, at the faces and the orchards. The things I would never see again. I swallowed back more tears as the car stopped and we were pulled out by Peacekeepers. There was cameras everywhere and I knew in the Capitol our faces were plastered all over. I barely made it on the train, every sound was deaf on my ears. Hex was behind me as we walked into what looked like the dining car.

I have never seen so much food in my life! There was pastries, meat, fruit, bread, cookies. Anything you could imagine! Hex was as stunned as me. I look at the blue-carpeted floor. Everything seemed to be blue. The walls, except they were more of a steel blue. I look at the table and chairs, which are mahogany. The buffet table and the four chairs that are for lounging are also mahogany. Except the chairs are outfitted in blue velvet.

Sparkle gently pushes us in. "Take a seat!" She says, motioning to the chairs. I sit down in the one closest to the window and Hex takes the one next to me. Sparkle sits across from Hex and starts talking about everything that will happen. I think Hex is the only one listening, I stare out the window at the passing trees.

Soon District 11 is far behind us. Thorn and Colt are behind us. Life itself is behind us. The Captiol is ahead. The Hunger Games are ahead. Death is ahead...

Leave a line space between paragraphs, so we won't get lost x3

Yes! I didn't know it would smash together when I copy and pasted it. :3 sorry!

Part three! It's super short but I'm working on Part Four and it is late here....my brain is kind of not it's usual best haha



Sparkle said something about going to find Dick, our mentor. I sat there silently after she left. Hex takes a deep breath and then says, "So....I've met Dick once before...have you?" his voice is deep and ruff. Kinda like Thorn's. "No...I haven't." I finally say softly. He nods and looks over at me. I look back at him, knowing this guy would probably kill me. He quickly looks away and I wonder why.

Dick walks in, arguing with Sparkle about dinner. "Ah." he says, stopping when he sees us. "Our two not so lucky winners." He says, walking over to the chairs and plopping down in the one across from me. He looks me over and then Hex. "You two are....well...not as scrappy as last year's." he says. I see Hex wince out of the corner of my eye. Dick sees it and puts his hands up. "Sorry. So...do we have any skills?" He asks. Neither of us answer. Dick rubs his eyes and sighs. "Okay...let's try this. What are your names?"

This surprises me. I shift in my chair and look at Hex, hoping he would go first. Which he does, thank goodness. It gives me a few minutes to collect my thoughts. "Hex Oakwood." he says. Dick holds out his hand and they shake. "Hello Hex. Nice, firm handshake." he praises and Hex actually smiles. Dick then turns to me. I take a deep breath. "Autumn Rose." I say without stammering or sounding scared. "Autumn Rose..." Dick echoes my name. I nod and look back into his eyes. "Your brother is Thorn...correct?" he asks, leaning forward in his chair.

I tilt my head to the side. "Yes...and Colt." I say, tugging at the ends of my long golden hair. Dick nods in a thoughtful way and I wonder what in the world he could be thinking of. Then he leans back and starts quizzing us on our history. It kind of confuses me but I answer each question as best I can. I learn alot about Hex as we answer each question.

He has a younger sister, her name is Helena. His parents named each of their children after their favorite letter of the alphabet, 'H'. He was the only one of the three children that did the tessarae. His family lived in the middle class section of town but their house was not large. He did not have a girlfriend. Yes he was interested in one certain girl but she did not notice him. Dick did not press that subject.

After what seemed like hours of endless questions, Sparkle interrupted. "Alright Dick! I think that's enough questions for tonight. It's almost dinner time....you two go clean up!" She says. She nearly drags Hex and I up and shows us to our rooms. I walk into the large room that will be my bedroom. The door slides shut behind me, I feel as if it is sealing me in. I turn and look around at the luxurious room. It had soft, fuzzy feeling carpet and the same steel blue walls as the dining room. The bed is ten times bigger than my own and it has a grey comforter with white sheets. I can not believe I have this whole room to myself!

I find the shower and then take wash off. I look in the wooden dresser in my room and find a tank top and some pants. Slipping them on, I find a sweater to go over the tank top. I pull it on and then turn to do something with my hair. I finally decide on a single braid that goes down my back. I take a deep breath before walking out of my room and down the hall.

Two hours later, I returned to my room. I was overstuffed and sick. I changed into some pajamas I found in the drawer and slid in between the cool covers. I unbraid my hair and let it fall across my face. Still trying to get over the fact that I was going to die, I snuggled under the covers. I let a few more tears slip from my eyes. I can not remember when I fell asleep....all I remember is when I did, darkness is all that visited me that night.

Part Four...



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sparkle came and woke me up the next morning. I could barely get out of bed. I finally did and took another shower. I braided my hair again and decided on wearing my Reaping outfit again. It was the only thing I had that was from home. Besides the locket around my neck.

I walk down the hall to the dining car. Walking through the sliding door, I find Hex and Dick talking about strategies. As soon as I walk in though, they both stop talking. I have a feeling that Hex was already planning to train without me. I take a deep breath and smile although I was upset.

What was I upset about? This was the Hunger Games. Hex probably wanted to go back to his family. I sit down across from Hex and to the side of Dick. "Good morning." Dick says in the same thoughtful way he did yesterday. "Morning." Hex echoes him quietly. "Good morning..." I say, filling my plate with some of the wonderful food that was on the table.

Biscuits with jam, these small round things covered with glaze. There was fruit, and milk and some weird juice. I at least had two plates before I hear Sparkle say, "Oh! Look! The Capitol." I look up at the window. What I've seen on tape, has not prepared me for the sight that's outside.

I slowly stand up and walk over to the window. It's like...a dream almost. Everything's shiny and clean. The Capitol looks like a crystal city surrounded by water. "Wow..." I almost jump when I hear Hex's voice beside me. I do not turn my eyes away though from the beautiful sight. We both lean a little closer to the window, trying to take it all in.

Suddenly everything goes dark. I pull away from the window, confused. I looked at the now dark....wall we were traveling past. "What is that?" Hex asks Dick. "It's the tunnel before we get to the station." Dick replies. I turn back to the window and look around at the darkness. "So...we're underground?" I say in a question form. Dick nods and says, "Yes."

Then, just as suddenly as it appeared, it disappeared, and we were flooded with light. I wince and blink, trying to adjust to the sudden change in light. Then I realize I'm hearing something. Cheering? People are cheering! People are cheering our names! Hex's and mine! I look out again at the maybe hundreds of people dressed in the colorful attire of Capitol styles. They look like a sea of color, a moving sea of color. They are all waving at us and shouting our names.

I can not help it. I smile shyly and wave back. That sends them into an uproar. Hex picks up the idea and starts waving back too. Soon we are both waving at the hundreds of Capitol people who have come to see us. It is interesting to see so many people that know my name, and are happy to see me. It is hard getting off the train, what with everyone crowding around us. I still wave and manage a "Hi" here and there.

By the time we get out of the station, my cheeks are hurting from so much smiling. Sparkle was telling us all that our prep team would be doing. I thought all of it sounded painful. I was so wrapped up in thinking about my brothers and trying not too feel sorry for myself, I did not hear what the place was called.

We walked in and Hex was taken to one room while I was taken to another. I meet my prep team, who have such weird hair and skin that it took me a second to realize they were humans. Claudius, who was named after, well, Claudius, had purple hair and green eyelids! Pinky had pink skin, pink nails, pink hair, pink...everything! Feather, he would not say his real name, had a peacock feather theme going on with his whole body. Over all, the three were very nice and extremely happy. They told me everything they were going to be doing, even though Sparkle had already told me.

So I had to change into a blue gown that was simple and papery. They then hosed me down and washed every inch of me. They waxed my legs and almost every hair on my body except for my head. Claudius plucked my eyebrows while Feather clipped and manicured my nails. Pinky brushed my hair out and trimmed it. Then she pulled out the split ends and washed my hair.

After what seemed like hours of brushing, cutting, snipping, washing, rinsing, and waxing, they finally said I was done. They told me to lay on a steel table and wait for my stylist. I laid there and stared at the ceiling. Wondering if Thorn and Colt are going to watch the Parade tonight, I let myself slip back into my memories. I have been avoiding this for a while. Everytime I do go back into my memories, I want to cry and run back to District 11.

My mind switches back to the parade. What is the outfit going to be? I hope we are not trees...The door opens and I sit up. "Hello Autumn!" A man who looked, somwhat regular besides the tattoos he had curling around his arms and neck, entered and then shut the door. "I'm Ahri, I will be your stylist." He offers me his hand. I shake it, trying to be firm.

He smiles and nods. "So..." "Please do not dress me up as a tree!" I blurt out. I can feel the heat rise to my cheeks. He laughs and I relax. Ahri seems nice...and trustworthy. "No...No I am going to make you memorable...pretty....stunning!" He says somewhat dramatically. I smile for real for the first time since before the Reaping. "What did you have in mind?" I ask curiously. A smile appears on his face. "I was thinking petals..."

[I n f i n i t y]

Bump :3

[I n f i n i t y]

Sorry everyone! I was at my best friend's house and I don't get to see her much so I took some time off CS. I'm back now! And Part Five is coming up soon!!

[I n f i n i t y]

Part Five


I stood next to the chariot, wondering how in the world I was going to stay on it while it moved. "How are we supposed to not fall off?" Hex's voice makes me jump. I whirl around, looking at him. He has a smile on his face, you can tell he is trying to make the best of it. Just like his sister always did....I can not help but smile back. "I honestly do not know." I admit, looking back at the chariot.

Then it hits me that Hex is dressed up too. I turn back to him and look his outfit over. It's pretty similar to mine. My parade costume is a thin, formal-looking dress, golden sandals are on my feet and I have golden bracelets on each of my wrists. They do something...I do not know yet. The dress has a V-neck that goes down pretty low but not in an uncomfortable way. It has a small golden belt that wraps around right under my breasts. Ahri brilliantly planned my hair. He kept saying how long it was and smiling like a kid on Christmas Day. He put part of it up in a simple looking bun. But then he braided the other parts and veiled it to the main bun so it looked like a veil. Then, underneath it all, he added a thin golden crown, that looked like tree branches intertwined. Hex's outfit is almost exact in similarity. Except, of course, he's not wearing a dress. It's more of a jumpsuit. His hair is slicked back and his dark eyes look alive with excitement and another emotion....Probably fear. His crown is golden as well, but a bit thicker.

"You look really...pretty." Hex says in a soft voice. It catches me off guard and my cheeks turn pink, and then red. "Thank you." I say, cursing myself for letting a small smile on my pink lips. The smile makes his smile widen a little more. "You look pretty dashing yourself." I add bravely. Aha! Now it was Hex's turn for his cheeks to turn pink.

"Alright!" Ahri said, walking up to us with Hex's stylist. I think her name is Candy or something. "It is show time!" I can tell both Ahri and Candy are excited. They are practically glowing. Ahri walks up to me and takes my wrists. I notice that the first chariot has already loaded up and the large iron doors are opening up. I am so focused with watching the District 1 and 2 chariots that I do not notice my dress.

Whatever Ahri just did, he is amazing. My dress has come alive with movement. It takes a minute for my eyes to adjust to the colorful action when I realize what it is. It is petals. From cherry and apple blossom trees. Falling petals. I hear a small gasp and realize it was from me. "Oh Ahri....it's beautiful!" I say, trying not too choke.

I look over to see Hex in the same state I am. His suit is alive with falling petals. It makes me want to cry and hug Ahri and Hex. This is definitely District 11. Hex looks up at me and a shocked smile lights up his face. It makes him look...handsome...and younger. I feel something warm rising in my heart.

Before I can figure out what it is, Ahri steps toward me with a white silk material. "Turn around." He orders and I obey. I wonder what he is doing as he attaches the silk to my wrist bracelets and the back of my dress. "There. Perfect." He says. "Twirl..." he requests and I consent. The silk makes a whooshing sound and I smile. This was going to be fun! I am going to do my best for my brothers.

Hex and I are hurried onto our chariot. I look at the beautiful light brown horses in front of us. I watch in anxiety as the chariots go out one by one and soon it is our turn. Our chariot lurches forward and almost immediately I find Hex's hand and holds tightly.

I do not realize what I have done until we are almost out the doors. I blush and try to take my hand away. "No please don't let go." Hex asks. I look at him and find his brown eyes are looking into my blue ones. "It is basically the only thing keeping me on this chariot." he says, a small smile perking on his smooth, red lips. I realize it is the same thing for me. "Okay." I say, smiling back.

The roar of the crowd seizes my attention as our chariot enters the strip. I look around at the screaming crowd. They are waving at me, some are screaming my name. I smile again and wave at the crowd. This makes them scream louder and jump up and down.

The road is already strewn with a few roses and hats. I do not know what Hex is doing, or me, but the Capitol people throw more roses, more hats. More screams fill the air. I can not stop smiling now. Or waving.

Suddenly, Hex pulls me to face him. I look up at his face and see the same look he had when he said I was pretty. He looks like he is going to do something, but then hesitates. Finally he leans forward and kisses my cheek. My heart starts beating faster than it already was and I feel breathless.

The affect it has on the people is insane. Their screams are now deafening and I am pretty sure we have wiped every tribute before and after us off the radar. Hex pulls away and looks down at me, probably seeing if I was upset or not. I just smile and blush. Alot. Blush alot. I am probably red.

The rest of the parade, the rest of the ride to the end, President Snow's speech, passes by like a flash. My mind is not on the fact I am probably gonna be dead next week, or possibly the week after that, or that we have probably made all the tributes hate us. It is on Hex, and the fact that his kiss made the crowd so loud we can hear it even after we exit.

They are going to remember me. Either dead or alive.
