The Train || Nidria Cassels and Marcus Wildberry
Within moments after the reaping, the two tributes boarded the train--or as Marcus calls it, "The Second Stage to Ultimate Death". Both tributes' faces registered shock and/or fear, what else would you expect from getting reaped for the Hunger Games?
Once they were seated, their escort gleefully congratulated them on being chosen to participate in the 45th annual Hunger Games. She droned on about it being such an honor. An honor to be entertaining the Capitol through blood, gore, and violence, Marcus mentally added.
Beside him sat the female tribute, perhaps just as shocked as he is. He thought about how he left his family--more importantly, his sister--and wondered what if he didn't win the Hunger Games?
He looked at his fellow tribute. Maybe she is the one who will kill me in the arena, he thought. Then he looked at the fancy food laid out for them. Hmm, why not indulge a little before getting killed?
