The 82nd Hunger Games
Chapter Four

DISCLAIMER! – I own nothing but the characters I made up!

AN: well I've finally got chapter four up and hopefully the wait for chapter five won't be as long. I am really sorry for that but ideas for Olympus 3x and for other stories were occupying my head rather than working on this chapter :O I'm doing my best here so please, understand that I am very busy

Percy's POV:

I forced my legs to move.

I was numb from the shock of being picked.

I felt as if I was watching from far away, watching myself stand on the stage, listening to the mayor say the Treaty of Treason, shaking Kayla's hands.

We turn to face the crowd as the anthem of Panem plays.

I snap back to reality as a bunch of Peacekeepers flood out onto the stage and march us into the Justice Building. I am placed into a luxurious room, lots of marble and fancy furniture.

The doors open and little Thetis is first into the room. I hug her tightly, knowing this may be the last time I ever see my hyper baby sister again. Then it's Orion and Ariadne beside me hugging me. I admit I do tear up a little bit. I look up into the eyes of my father and he claps me on the shoulder.

"You can do it son, make us proud," He said and I smile through misty eyes as my mom hugs me. She fusses over my hair and my collar but I know she is only just keeping it together. She knows this may be the last time she ever sees me but she's trying to ignore the fact.

They leave and Theseus and Triton walk in looking shell shocked.
They awkwardly shake my hands and Triton does the talking. Theseus and Ariadne are the quiet ones in the family but you sure as hell know about it when they yell at you.

"Keep safe lil' bro, play it safe." Triton says and I grin.

"You won't get rid of me too easily so why worry?" I ask and he rolls his eyes.

"You need some of that cockiness knocked out of you kid," He says but I know he is glad that I'm petrified.

They leave and when the door opens it is Ariadne again. She is holding what looks like a steel bracelet. When she stops in front of me I realise it is a bracelet, the kind you clasp onto your wrist. She holds it out to me and I take it turning it over in my fingers.

Etched onto the steel are a trident, then the name JACKSON and then a rearing horse.

"Is this ..." I asked stunned and she nods.

"The Jackson Family symbol. You know what dad's like with this after Tyson lost it but he says you should take it with you, to remind you that all of us are with you." Ariadne explains and I clasp it onto my right wrist where it fits perfectly, as if it was made for me. I twist it so that the etchings are visible to all and gaze at Ariadne.

I might never again see her, cool and collected even at times like this.

She leaves as the Peacekeepers arrive; taking me out to the car that will take me to the train station.

I try to keep it out of my head that I might never return but it's like being trapped in a burning house and trying not to think of the flames coming towards you.

As I left the Justice Building I kept my head up and my gaze straight ahead all the way through the ride to the train station. Once there I see cameras trained on me, I caught a glance of myself on one of the big screens. I was pleased to see no expression at all on my face.

I entered the train and found Kayla already seated on a plush leather sofa looking worried and nervous. She barely acknowledged me and that's when I knew:

The games had already started for her.

She was going to try and kill me.

Even though I didn't want to, I knew I had to try and kill her as well if I wanted to ever see my family again.

Hehe, I know! I thought I'd leave it on a cliff hanger for a few reasons:

I have no idea what else to write

I am shattered

I really want to update

So I was thinking, I always put my excuse as being busy with writers block for my fanfictions and other stories I'm writing. So why not upload them to here for you all to see? I have quite a few planned but my favourite is called:

DANGEROUS SECRETS Are for a Reason

It's basically how the granddaughter of an Italian mob boss moves back in with her dad, step mother, brother, half sisters and half brother who live in England. There she gets a few friends but one of them is a bad boy player who makes a bet with his cousin. But she doesn't want to go out with anyone because they could get killed because of who she is and yada yada. I haven't worked out more details yet but that's the storyline so far.

It is NOT a love story as there is a hell of a lot adventure, store-trashing, police chasing after a certain group of 13/14 year olds, shoving-each-other-off-logs-into-a-brook (don't ask) and not to mention the fact Jace is trained in eight martial arts and could floor anyone and everyone.

Her name is Jace Amadio/Jace Thornton and yes I know in Mortal Instruments the main guy is Jace Wayland but I have ALWAYS liked this name and I've been calling her Jace for months before I found out about Jace Wayland so please don't yell at me!
