I’m watching her being hunted, on television that is. My sister Katness is being hunted by desperate people trying to survive in a game of pure evil. In the thrilling novel The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, Katness Everdeen a 16 year old girl who lives in a apocalyptic world, is taken from her family to compete in the hunger games. Katness must use her hunting skills and street smarts to outwit the other opponents, in order to survive and take care of her family.
It happens every year. Those poor souls who are chosen to be hunted for other the rich’s entertainment. I usually just feel sorry and pass it by. Unfortunately that wasn’t going to happen this year. “Primrose Everdeen” the announcer yelled. I froze, and felt my blood run cold. “This can’t be happening!” I screamed! “There must be some kind of mistake! My name has only been in the drawing once!” I cried and looked around. Somewhere between my cries and the loud gasps from the crowd, I heard someone scream out “I volunteer to take her place!” for a moment I was confused, and then looked to see who it was. No.. this can’t be! My sister, Katness has just volunteered to take my place… to save my life.
Days have passed. I can’t stand to watch the games anymore. They are gruesome and sad. i have seen 13 out of the 24 people killed. Luckily none of them are Katness. I hope this ends soon im tired of watching people die. It’s almost done! There are only a few people left! I’m so proud to be related to Katness. The way she dressed that poor girl in flowers and sang to her after she died. Also that boy from our district I think his name is Peeta? Anyways she is helping him because he is wounded and very sick.
It’s down to the last 3 people and there has been a change in the rules. Two people can live! We have been talking to that baker more often. He is giving us bread and food as we mourn together about how much we miss them and that we are sure they are going to win. Were watching the television waiting with anticipation for something to happen. It seem so quite. After a few minutes of them sneaking around i see Katness’s face. She has that look. The look ment something was coming and it wasn’t good. I looked at the screen horrified at what I was looking at. Dogs no, more like beasts! They are getting closer to them! I see them whisper and they bolt up a tree, just as the 3rd participant sees them and takes off to finish the job. I watch as Katness and Peta slowly pick the animals off one by one. Soon there are only a few left. The boy is attacking them frantically trying to survive. Katness is mouthing something to him. It looks like an “im sorry” when she shoots him with her last arrow.
Everyone is running around screaming with joy and I’m crying because I have never been so happy in my entire life. I’m talking to Katness’s friend Gale when I hear someone yell. “Hey look.” We all turn our attention to the T.V announcer is saying something. “Well it seems there is a change of plans. Its back to one winner! Good luck disrict 12”. I scream and punch the wall with all my might. Everyone is silent watching the screen to see what was going to happen. Then I see it. They are putting the berries in their mouths. The berries that killed that fox faced girl. I cry and watch as they both attempt to commit suicide. The announcer quickly chimes in. “Ok, I think we can have an exception this one time. Congratulations to the winners of the hunger games, from district 12!” They walk out of the arena and everyone is cheering. I finally get to see my sister again. I don’t know how I will ever be able to repay her for this. After all she is the best sister in the world.
