The Supernatural Games

Chapter 1 - The Chosen Two

[ President Snow's Video Message ]

They tried to keep it hidden, but somehow they were exposed. The supernatural species living in our world made us all cringe. We didn't know what they were capable of doing. We must protect our families, our children, our people. So, these supernaturals must be punished. All of these mysterious ' animal ' attacks and serious murders all go back to them. It took months to create something huge. America we once knew was changed into our new Panem. We divided the species in 6 districts and the humans lived in the glamorous Capitol. In 1940, The Supernatural Games were created. It's a yearly event where 12 individuals from each district are chosen to fight against each other to the death. The different species includes the vampires, the werewolves, the witches/warlocks, the slayers/hunters, the wizards, and the bionic superhumans. One of the twelve will win fame and fortune, and also a special gift for their district. The Games are held in the Capitol and has different stages: The Tribute Fancy Dinner, one day of training, Private sessions, Interviews, and The Supernatural Games in the arena. Exciting right? Well this is how Panem is. The less the species, the more the happiness for us Humans. Would you survive the Supernatural Games?

* Bree's POV *

My eyes pop right open, seeing Mr. Davenport talking to Tasha quietly and Leo sitting in his Mission Specialist chair, in a gloomy mood. I turn my head to look at Chase and Adam, who are feeling the same way I'm feeling. Upset.

Today is the day. It's the reaping for The 74th Supernatural Games. I been having nightmares about it whenever it's this time of year. Every year on this day, 2 individuals from our 6 districts of supernatural species are sent into the Games and usually the bionic tributes don't come back. Mr. Davenport changes us into today's outfits. We step out of our capsules. School was canceled due to reaping day and basically everyone in the whole district needs to attend.

The Supernatural Games requires the tributes to fight to the death with advantage of using their special powers and skills. All the fights are really brutal and filled with peril. Scares me a lot.

" Have faith, guys. Everything will be alright. " Mr. Davenport says, patting us on the back. Sure everything will be okay. What if I get picked? The bionic teen population is decreasing every year. We're not always invincible. " Now, get some breakfast and we'll be on our way. Big day indeed "

We nod and walk out of the lab, only Leo following us. We enter the elevator and it is dead silence. I turn to look at Chase, who is filled with fear but keeps a straight face. We reached the living room and begin preparing cereal.

" Wow, these Games are unfair. " Leo says. " Not all supernatural people are evil. You are the good guys. " I pull off a smile on that one. Leo and Tasha moved in last year, months after the reaping for the 73rd Games. Tasha fell in love with Donald ever since they met online. They got married and became part of our lives.

" Thanks, Leo. You are a good brother. " Chase says, patting Leo's shoulder. Leo, still so short but has huge confidence in us. " Besides, Adam is 19 so he doesn't worry about being in the Games no more. Here in District 6, there is age restrictions on who have to enter and doesn't. 12 to 18 years olds are eligible to compete. " After that we all eat our cereals in silence.

In some other districts, they don't care about age because most of these supernaturals are immortals. Them old crooks. But in most, they do. I'm 18, birthday coming this November, and this is my last year of eligibility. If I make it through this, I'll be good to go. Chase is 17 years old so he is still eligible to compete this year and the next. Eddy appears on the fridge.

" Look Speedogirl and Nerdyboy, this may be my goodbye to you guys. I made fun of you, pulled jokes on you, and disliked you. But remember, if one of you two gets picked, remember to fight back! Good luck and it was nice knowing you. SIKE!! About the nice knowing ya part " Eddy, Eddy, Eddy. He dissolves and we all finish up our breakfast. Mr. Davenport announces it time for us to leave, so me and Chase gets one last look at our house. This may be the last time we will ever be here. After a few seconds, we leave.
