16Hey everyone! This is my first time writing a story on this website. The Act of Deception: The 98th Hunger Games is a SYOT style Hunger Games fan fiction. I do not own The Hunger Games. All rights to The Hunger Games belongs to the amazing author Suzanne Collins. I don't have a specific date in which I'm closing the SYOT applications. The closing date will just be whenever I pick my full tribute cast. Thank you to anyone who decides to take the time to submit a tribute. I really appreciate it! Like most SYOT authors do, the more you comment the more I may be compelled to help your tribute out...but it also depends how the story flows and how people react to the tributes. This story is rated teen because The Hunger Games contains pretty dark themes as all Hunger Games fans know. I really hope you all enjoy this story! Below is the tribute form if you'd like to submit a tribute. Private message me with the form filled out so I can check it out. I will only be looking for forms in my Private Messages, so make sure to submit them there. I will update more once I get my full cast. This first chapter is from the game makers point of view. All of my story from the tributes, to the people in the capital will be written in first person. At the bottom of this chapter you will find the tribute form. Okay, let's get started with, The Act of Deception: The 98th Hunger Games!
Adelaar Velez
I pick up a picture of my mother and I. It's from when I was younger, I'd say about the time of the second rebellion. It has a faint crack across the frame, splitting my mother and I up. Ironic. I drag my finger across the crack, tracing the spiderweb like tears in the delicate glass. We haven't talked in years. After the second rebellion, my mother was distraught. She actually was one of the few capitol citizens to believe the puny rebels. Ridiculous. I still keep the picture because she is my mother after all, even if we aren't close. I place the frame down and walk over to my red velvet couch. I rub my thumb and pointer finger together out of nervousness. It's a habit I started to get once I became Head Gamemaker.
It's a quite stressful job, because the fate of the capitol's entertainment is in my hands. If the president or the capitol citizens aren't pleased, I suffer the consequences. Which is unfair to me, because I cannot help if the tributes that are reaped don't have interesting personalities. It's happened years back where Gamemakers have been sent to death for doing an inadequate job. I won't let this happen to me. I will do everything in my power to let this years games be the best anyone has ever seen. I will be praised for my work.
I reach towards the pearl white nightstand containing my journal where I plan my twists and turns for the games. I smirk as I think of a wonderful way to get everyone to remember my name. I scribble it down quickly, worried the thought will disappear from my mind. Once it's written, I hold up the notebook and stare at it. Some of the dark ink is starting to smear. I can't help but smile at the thought of becoming a world class celebrity.
No one will forget the name Adelaar Velez.
There was a small taste of our Head Gamemaker. What does he have up his sleeve for these games? We will see more of him as the story progresses, and we will hopefully soon get to meet our tributes.
