.{Damien Skinnel}.
(Damien- hard core, friendless Tribute trainee.)

Damien turned away from the big scren in the square in disgust. The Games were so boring! Why couldn't they get a real Career in there, one who could win. Or at least take out a few people. Damien smiled as he heard his father's voice playing in his head: "You could do better, Damien, and you will as soon as I can find a way to"- Damien shook his head. They couldn't know, Nobody could know what his father was planning. Not even him.

And yet he did know. Rigging the Games wasn't impossible, or even hard. It was living with yourself afterwards that hurt.
"I will do better. I will," he said, almost sub-consiously. He gave a small start.

Who could have heard this last comment in the stillness of the square?

The Hunger Games.
Oh, how I hate them...
The sky shows empty. A new moon.
I frown. Then an odd sort of thought enters my mind.
My mother could have lived if the doctors could have given the medicine. But they couldn't. The Capitol wouldn't let them.
It wasn't the doctors' faults my mother died. It was the Capitol's.
I remember my mother's last words to me.
"Be brave, Destiny," she said. "Be ready to let your name guide you, and remember why you are who you are now."
She wanted me not to interfear with destiny. That was, after all, my name. Let my name guide me. But the second part I never understood. Why I was who I was now? I'm a girl who has no future. A girl who gets deadly on a new moon.
And boy was it unfortunate for the Hunger Games viewing to be during a new moon.
All those kids...
Almost all of them will die.
Like my mother.
I tear my face away from the screen in disgust. Would the Capitol ever stop killing.
Then I hear someone say something.
"I will do better. I will."
I turn around to see a boy. He's pretty handsome. I think I've seen him before. The girl's always faint when he comes by.
"Excuse me?" I say, annoyance and anger filling my voice.
What kind of Games wanting rat was this boy, anyway?
