Where am I
Why is that wheel spinning
Who are you
Why's the wheel slowing down
Why does it say "The Hunger Games"
Where did that new wheel come from
Why does it say districts 1 - 12
What is happening can I go home
Why did it have to land on twelve
What do you mean "choose my power"
Please stop counting down I can't think
What do you mean the power file copy
Where am I now

After selecting yes I slowly drifted into sleep
The next thing I know I wake up to what feels like a cold shower hit my head and I wake up
"You've got to go hunt" a gruff man says to me as I adjust to the situation
Suddenly lots of information enters my mind,
I am Kent Benton 17 6'2 with black hair and blue eyes and a member of district 12 I hunt using traps and that's why I don't have a job and tomorrow is the reaping
And that gruff man is my father as I get up to dry myself passing my father (Coal miner) I bump into him and a screen appers in my mind

the screen closes and I head to a towel to dry up after getting dressed in a simple outfit (all I could afford) I head to the fence I have in this body "used many times" as I head deeper into the forest I look at the traps "I set up the other day"
Finding one of my traps with a hare I quickly grab its head and snap its neck and reset the trap after putting the hare over my shoulder (on a rope)
After checking my other traps I head back to district 12 with a small catch of 1 hare and 2 squirrels as I hop through the fence I see katness walking towards the hole as I pass her a screen appears

Heading for the black market i sell of my squirrels for a loaf of fresh bread from peteas bakery sadly he's not there as usually this body hangs with him after a hunt as people say they are practically brothers.
after heading home i process the hare into jerky and start to figure out what has happened as I have just went of this body's daily routine without processing my emotions
'I died and was sent to the hunger games and can copy abilities'
'Holy shit'
'I could get picked tomorrow'
'My existence may make the timeline messed up'
'What if I get picked instead of Petea'
As I sit down to eat some bread and relax my new father comes in the house covered in coal dust "how was your day"
"Good" I say as I throw him a wet rag to clean himself of with
After eating dinner with my new father I head to bed to rest as Tomorrow may be a big day

Waking up in my new room was a all to similar experience instead of going out today I stayed home and put on my best clothes and read from my families 'library' if you could call 10 books a library
Picking out a book on trapping that my new body had read a hundred time I notice that my ability scans the book

'Sadly I am unable to copy his abilities as I already got the peacekeepers'
"Nervous Petea"
"I am every year we both know I wouldn't survive"
Looking back up at the stage to ignore Peteas remark I see Effy picking the first piece of paper
Silence reigns supreme in this moment as Effy opens the note
"Primrose Everdeen"
"Where are you come on up"
As you would expect Katness volunteer's
And every one raises there hands including me
Now Effy picks for the men's and proudly almost shouts "Petea Melark"
Immediately almost in reflex I shout at the top of my lungs "I volunteer as tribute" 'it appears I don't get a choice as this body would protect Petea to the end that something I'll have to get control over'
As I walk towards the stage slowly towards the steps I look back and see Petea trying to get through the soldiers trying to take my place as I did his.
I mouth "goodbye" as he collapses onto the floor. Standing on the stage in silence Effy asks me some question but I ignore it as I think about what fate I've given myself.
What happens next is all a rush as my father comes to see me and says "your mother would be proud"
The next thing I know I'm on a train at a ornate dining table.
