Hey guys :D I am back with a story. This is based on the Hunger Games to celebrate the second movie coming out in cinema's on 17/11/2013 and this is somewhat based around MCSG. The first part is to get you in the mode and I hope you enjoy it :)

Part 1: The Beginning

I woke up, screaming for help. I have had the worst night of my life. I was dreaming that I would be taken away from my family, my friends, everyone. I got out of my bed, which was nothing more than some old clothing sewn together to make a cover for my bed which is sheep's body. I couldn't go back to sleep, so I decided to go and sit around the fire in the kitchen.

I noticed my mother sitting in a chair, staring at me with her cold eyes. My mother was once a chef, but after she found out that she had been serving human meat to the public, she left. Ever since she would never cook a meal that contained meat, so, to feed myself and my 2 younger brothers, I go and hunt for food outside the dome.

Each district is surrounded by a dome, to keep out dangerous creatures. I've never seen one, but I've been told that they could cause buildings to turn to rubble and kill people in seconds. At first my mother would never let me go, but my father told my mother he would take me out, so we could hunt together. At first it was fun, but one day, my father and I were hunting, when we heard a scream.

My father left me next to a rock, next to the dome while he went to investigate. My father came out of the woods where he just went into, being chased by these monsters. My father shouted 'RUN! GET INSIDE THE DOME SUSI!'. I ran as fast as I could, but before I went in the dome, I saw my dad being attacked by these dogs. He was decapitated in front of my eyes. I crawled under the small hole in which I used to get in and out of the dome, when my foot was grabbed. I don't know what happened next, but blood spurted everywhere. But it wasn't mine. In desperation I launched a arrow into the head of the dog. It's mighty jaws let go of my foot, and I rolled a small round rock over the hole. As I watched through the dome, I saw my fathers body being ripped apart. I cried and went home.

Ever since then, my mother has rejected me, blaming me for my fathers death. For months I cried, along with my two brothers. But this day made everything worse. My two brothers were going to be going to their first reaping.

I was so scared for them. They were twins, and both look identical, except Roofus has a tint of ginger in his hair, while James was bright blonde. I got them all ready for the reaping, getting their clothes ready and clean. After they were ready, I washed myself down with apple-cleaner, a amazing body and hair cleaner, that everyone taking part in the reaping gets. I put on a blue, long dress to get ready for the day ahead.

My brothers and I walked out the door, while our mother followed us at a distance, as if she was ashamed of us. We all gathered at the dome centre, and we all needed to give a block sample.

As they removed a small block from my hand, a small drop of blood appears. I quickly cover it up so that my brothers don't see it. I was so scared that they would be chosen, but I knew they wouldn't be, out of hundreds of the names in the glass, their names are very unlikely to be chosen.

As a weird woman by the name of Eiffel Triffel appeared, she announced that this was the 71st annual Survival Games. She played a audio clip from the Hub, that told us why the Survival Games started. It was because 71 years ago, 14 Districts all rebelled against the Hub. The Hub left the districts to fend for itself, while it stole the resources it earned through tough work. Each District had different jobs. District 1: Emerald Mining, District 2: Diamond Mining, District 3: Technology and Redstone Mining, District 4: Fishing, District 5: Building, District 6: Gold Mining, District 7: Wood Collecting, District 8: Lapis Mining, District 9: Trading, District 10: Transport Centre, District 11: Farming, District 12: Coal, Cobblestone and Dirt Mining. After the rebellion, Districts 13 and 14 were destroyed, leaving District 12 to pickup their old jobs.

A man who everyone knows who was making the speach, the leader of the Hub and the remaining districts, was Chad. He looks so young, but in the Hub, they had perfected a cream to make you stay young forever. He is 87, but looks as if he is 23. After the audio had stopped, I lifted my head to see Eiffel put her hand in the glass, picking up a single name.

She read out: Gabriel Muntasio. I sighed in relief as my brothers names weren't called out, until I noticed who Gabriel is. He was a tall muscular boy from my year. We are both 17 and I really liked him, but I can't do anything. Then, Eiffel put her hand into a second glass block, and she read out, 'Sophia Anklesmell', a rich girl who would get anything. I then burst out in the middle shouting ' I volunteer'.

Then more girls did it. After it all 7 girls wanted to volunteer, but Sophia decided to go. Angry, I pushed past the other girls, to get to the front, and saw Sophia holding his arm, as if they it was a trophy. I got on stage, slapped her and pushed her off the stage. She exploded into items as I hit her. Then I noticed I had the sword glitch, but I laughed it off and said, 'Well that leaves just us then' and the other girls backed away from the middle and into the line. I was going to the 71st Survival Games.... WITH A HUNK OF A MAN

Part 2: What Happened After The Flood Of The World

As the train came speeding along the tracks towards me, to take me away from my friends, my family, my life. I turned to see my brothers crying, while my mother just stod there, blankly staring at me, with no emotions.

As the train pulled into the station, I waved goodbye to everyone I loved and everything I cherished. I walk into the carriage to see a glamorous dinning table, with candles, plates with fine details and food. Food from cakes to meat. The type of food that no one can afford outside the Hub. I sit down on a chair made from leather, cow leather, and it felt as if sitting on a leathery cloud. I looked across to me as Gabriel sat down. He stared at me and said 'Why did you volunteer?'.
I replied 'To protect the most important girl'. We both knew it was a lie, I just wanted to spend a few days with him.

As we sat began to talk, a man that smelt like a corpse came strolling in. He introduced himself as 'Graveyard'. Ever since the floods happened 179 years ago, the rich stayed rich, while the poor stayed poor. But the weirdest of things was the change of names. Not only did peoples names change, but the country. The whole country was divided into 15 islands. Each island being a district. The county was once called the United Kingdom. The floods killed millions, but many toke refuge on higher ground and survived. After weeks of waiting, the water levels dropped. This created the islands, and the country we know as the United Islands.

Part 3: Welcome To The Hub

As the train sped through the ocean that split the islands apart, I looked out, towards the seas. I whispered to Gabriel 'Why can't we just run away, run away from this all?' I turn to him and he simply replies, 'They wouldn't let us.' This got me into a spiral of thoughts. Does he mean that we can't as we would be killed by the creatures of the sea, or does he mean our families? I turned to sea Graveyard staring at us.

He came strolling over and told me 'They'll kill you before you even make it to the sea' and that's when I remembered the family that tried to escape. They managed to escape the dome and made a run for the sea. The family were caught and the kids were forced to watch their mother and father being shot. The kids were sent of to the Hub, most likely to become a Aljazeen, a slave which cannot talk that work for the people that lived in the Hub.

I shed a tear and say, 'why, why can't we just leave?' and Graveyard gives me a shifty look. I got so angry I grabbed a knife from the table and launched it, slicing off the top of his bottle of beer. He threw the bottle down and picked me up by the neck. I don't know what happened next, but Graveyard was on the floor with a bloody nose.

I ran into the bathroom and locked myself in a cubicle. I hear the door open so I lift my feet onto the toilet seat. I hear Eiffel whispering 'Come out dear, Graveyard is just a mindless drunk. But that skills with the knife was amazing. Before he threw thew his bottle down, I noticed you cut through the label smoothly. However, I'm not too happy where the knife landed.' A wig slid from under the door and the knife had cut off a chunk of the hair. I smiled and kicked it back under and came out.

She put her arm around me to comfort me. I told her quietly 'Do you really think that a knife is my best weapon?' She gave a little laugh and replied,
'I'm sure it isn't'.

I looked out the window to sea a jungle of buildings that pierced the skies. I exclaimed,
'Welcome To The Hub'

Well in the Hunger Games Trilogy, there's no mention on what happened to the world and what wiped out most of the population. Instead of going with nukes, I thought of something that one day WILL happen. The poles melting and sea levels rising causing many floods and draughts world wide. The Uk, being a island and heavily relying on the navy is perfect to flourish being islands, and since it's islands now, it's the United Islands. I will mention other parts of he world in later parts, and in maybe in another story, the UI (United Islands) will find out about Panem. :D I can't wait to write these up :d
