As Mary looked across to see the eyes of her district 'partner' she tried to recall exactly the annoucment she was told.
"This starts out just like any other. One male and one female are chosen from each disttrict and the usual ceremonies commence. Then they will be sent out to the field." The man had said, and this was expected. "But this is where the rules change. Once a districts original picks are eliminated, the district may send in another male and female to continue with the games. Because of this new rule, whenever a district representative gets a kill, that district will receive their reward. The higher the kills, the more the district will receive. If more than one district representative took part in, all of those districts will be included in the reward."
That means even the survivor doesn't get to see their home, their family again. Mary reflected somberly. All we get to do is fight until we die.

Axum had listened to the message silently he expected nothing less of the capital to find a way to make the games even worse then usual. Not only did the normal kids die more would with the new 'rule' that they had set for this special game.

Mary sighed. She wasn't looking forward to this. She didn't even want to be here.

Axum was sure most of them didt want to be here, he really didnt he was sure he wouldnt make it far in games and it sickened him that his mom would have to watch.

It wasn't that Mary didn't think she could do it. She had been forced all of her life to train for the games. But she didn't want to do it. She looked across at the boy chosen for their district. He too had trained but he had wanted to be here. And the things he had done to her growing up...

Axum looked around at the others he hadnt been trained usually only the first couple of district trained for the games and were almost always the winners which is why he didnt think he would have a chance of getting very far.

Mary wondered if any of the people she met would at least be good company for a while.

Mary was looking around as well. She was already more than adequate with the sword, in fact most of the weapons. She supposed some of the survival training would be the best.

Mary was as well. She was curious about what was edible or not especially, she had never been outside of her district after all. Her senses had been honed to identify most of the poisonus ones though.

She did try the first one. It tasted a bit bitter to her. The second was better, kind of sweet.

"Mary, district 2." She said, waiting to see what he thought. She knew how most people looked at those from districts 1, 2, and 4.

Axum looked a little wary but didnt seemed scared off at the moment "So...did you volunteer?" he asked looking at the other leaves and roots.
